I love the location... love the ocean view, just a soothing little spot for every day dinning. The interior could do with a revamp but otherwise not too shady. I have been here a couple of times and have been lucky enough to receive good service almost all the time from the waiters. On the bad side of service, the hostesses that I have met at this establishment are very hostile, not an ounce of friendly. What keeps me coming back here is their ribs they are awesome. They truly have the best Ribs and are reasonably or rather market related priced R169,00 for 500g. I have tried a few other things on their menu, nothing wow but really not bad. It is a lovely spot for a lazy sunday. I am not really a fan of their  buffet but it really aint bad. I would not recommend it for special occasions especially if you are into fine dinning.

Horrible food and service at surfside bisto!

Will defn not go back there. Besides the very old decor, the food took a far too long to come out and when it did in drips and drabs, it was cold. The service was not great. We only saw our waitress every 20 min....I would not recommend anyone wasting their time and money here.

We have had many lunches at Surfside previously but today was a fiasco. I would certainly not want to recommend the poor service and the absolutely disgusting meal they presented as Christmas lunch to anyone. I am disgusted

We ate here on Saturday with two friends. We all ordered seafoof mix. The food was bland and tasteless.The fish was cold inside and appeared not to have been properly cooked. Apparently the sauce over the meal is considered to be a secret, not quite sure why as it didnt have any taste. The toilets were dirty with no paper towels to dry your hands and the bin wasnt clean. On a plus - service was good. I will never visit the establishment again.

We went here twice for work functions. Both times they were understaffed, despite knowing for weeks in advance that we were coming. On the second occasion, I ordered a lamb shank which was OK but completely overpriced for what I received. I ordered vegetables which looked like slop - there was a onion/tomato/green bean mix slopped on the plate with some butternut on top. Terrible presentation - and R119 for 2 pieces of lamp and bag veg! Way too over-priced.
