    Setting 1st class. Food is overpriced for locals. Came for the prawn ravioli only to be informed that it was discontinued, despite being on the menu. Overall food quality needs to be improved and reasonably priced.

    Moody Lagoon at Benguela Cove responded on Thu 16 Jul 26:
    Good day Andree Thanks for your feedback, the ravioli was not discontinued it was sold out. We buy the best produce and therefore we have been selling at the price point we are. With this said we do appreciate your feedback and you taking the time to give us a review as it gives us an opportunity to make changes where needed. Thanks for the support and we hope that we have the pleasure of having you back in the near future
