    While the food is excellent, the price is definitely driven by the location, ambience and service. That said, the entire breakfast experience was exceptional.

    We have been residents at oysters Pearls for many years and have had numerous weddings/birthdays and functions at the Oysterbox. For our family this Hotel always had a special flair, but sadly it has lost its uniqueness . Last night was a big let down. We arrived only 10min early and were told we couldn’t sit at our table or be served even though we had elderly people battling to walk. Steak was sent back as it was undercooked. The curry buffet was a huge disappointment for the price. The fish curry was absolutely terrible. The prawn pasta, was prawn curry from buffet over the pasta. Not one person had a satisfactory meal. We waited over an hour and half for our food. R600 per person for a curry buffet and you have to order one dessert? We (4) that ordered dessert left before the dessert arrived as this too took so long. More than 40 min. This was a huge huge let down for us, as the Oysterbox use to be a very special place for our family. Sadly this has left us very disappointed and we will not be supporting the Oysterbox any longer. A deposit was expected upfront??? For this you would expect impeccable service and quality. This is not the case! I also have to stress that our waitress was a gem and tried her very best. She is not to blame here, as we blame the Hotel for assigning 1 person to a table of 16. This is not right. She really ran circles and was amazing but clearly could not cope! Thank you for the opportunity.
