    Embarrassing.One of my guests did not receive ,her dinner when rest of table did.When eventually served the line fish was totally under cooked.After sending it back,it was only served when all the meals had been finished and I repeatedly enquired from the manageress what the delay was.We even had to ask for cutlery.The manageress ,chef and waiter was embarrassing.Very disappointing!!!!!

    Ambience was great until all the lights were switched on at around 9pm ,got the impression that management and staff were rushing us to leave and close shop. Rhat spoilt a great evening.

    We were a bit disappointed, my first choice was Dorado cutlets and my hubby was fillet and both dishes were out of stock, then I ordered ribeye, it had a lot of fat and not as tasty as I know it, luckily I ordered pepper steak sauce which was really very nice. Hubby ordered red snapper and he said it was ok, could have been better

    Big Easy Ballito responded on Tue 01 Sep 26:
    Hi Moshito, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry that both the Dorado cutlets and fillet were unavailable, and that the ribeye did not meet your expectations. We are glad the pepper steak sauce was a highlight, and we appreciate your husband’s comments on the red snapper as well. Your feedback on stock availability and consistency is valuable, and we will share it with our kitchen team. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience. The Team
