What people say
Ocean Basket is a popular seafood restaurant located in Vangate Mall, Cape Town. The restaurant serves sushi, seafood and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant has received mixed reviews from customers and critics alike.
A recent review in the Cape Times praised the sushi at Ocean Basket, stating that it was fresh and well-prepared. The reviewer also enjoyed the seafood platter, which included prawns, calamari and fish. However, the reviewer noted that the service was slow and unattentive.
A review in Eat Out magazine was less positive, criticizing the lack of variety on the menu and the high prices. The reviewer also noted that some of the dishes were overcooked and lacked flavor.
Online reviews are also mixed. One customer on TripAdvisor praised the seafood platter as "amazing" but criticized the service as slow. Another customer on Zomato enjoyed their sushi but found the portion sizes to be small for the price.
On Facebook, one customer commented that they had a "fantastic meal" at Ocean Basket with "great service." However, another customer complained about a long wait time for their food.
It is important to note that these reviews are all relatively recent, with most being published within the last year or so. Overall, it seems that while Ocean Basket has some standout dishes like their sushi and seafood platter, there are some issues with consistency in both food quality and service.
No information available yet about Mediterranean cuisine served at Ocean Basket.
