9th Avenue Waterside is a fine-dining restaurant located in the Durban yacht mole, off the city's picturesque Esplanade. Every feature of the establishment defines its character - from its location in the harbor, to the innovative design and menu and ultimately, to the exceptional dining experience. The intimate setting is complimented by the warmth of the inspired front-of-house team and the kitchen brigade, led by Head Chef, Theodorus Chiloane. Our mission is to inspire people to enjoy and appreciate food and dining, in a new way - from the communities we support producing sustainably farmed food and beverages, to the professionalism and knowledge of our staff, service and hospitality. The upstairs Cocktail Lounge provide the ideal space to de-stress after a busy day, meet with friends or business colleagues or host a private function. 9th Avenue Waterside also offers a variety of spaces for weddings, engagements, business events, product launches and special calendar days. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

    The waiter was overwhelmed with our group but she tried her best. They ran out of the drink we were consuming and they didn’t make any effort to get us the drink which they could get from any tops to make a client who has spend over R10 000 o the bill. We overhead one of the waiters saying we should go somewhere else because they don’t have our drink. From the private room we were moved to the terrace as next booking was coming in, we asked a number of times for them to close the blinds because it was late and cold but they refused until we just left. Their private room needs to be sound proof because when u having a conversation for a group of 12 people it’s bound to be slightly noisy, we were told to keep quiet.

    The food was amazing especially the sauce the chef demonstrated with the starter bread. It was very tasty. Our waiter delivered spectacular service. Fortunately, enough the long table that was booked downstairs and us are mutual friends and our accounts of service from the restaurant manager was day and night. We had a negative distasteful account of her subtle rude behaviour but we did our level best to not get stuck on it and Nhlakanipho compensated for it very well. She should not serve patrons if she has interpersonal issues. e.g. asked for two tables to moved - did not instruct any waiter to do it, eventually we did it ourselves. table downstairs was loud but only made an issue of our joyous celebrations.
