Perhaps the down side of Trip Advisor is when you go to a place with too high expectation having read so many other reviews of the place before you visit, on the other hand perhaps we were just unlucky on a busy night when it was full and service was running behind the kitchen. They initially did NOT want to... More

Good food, cosy personal service and good value. The Sole is raved about elsewhere oin this site and deserves special mention. We had the Baby Sole as a starter and it was delicious. The wine prices are reasonable. More

From the outside Anchorage is very understated but has a very pleasant ambience inside. The owners are clearly passionate about the food and service provided and greet you on entry. The waiter we had was extremely enthusiastic and attentive. The restaurant focuses predominantly on fish and the choice of meals was superb. The line fish we had was wonderful and... More

I said in a previous review that I didn't love Knysna, but this little restaurant was one of the highlights – it’s not that it was spectacular, it’s just that its really good! The service was spot on and the food well cooked and good value More

We had a great meal here with excellent friendly service. I had the Sole as a starter, and can see just why it is "world-renowned". The catch of the day was Kingclip and was just as good. The whole experience was very nice indeed. More

This is a cute little fish restaurant just a few metres from the waterfront serving a variety of fresh fish and the famous Knysna oysters. The food is very tasty and prices are decent. We had a great dinner at the Anchorage(the fish platters and the spicy octobus salad was delicious) and the couple who runs the place was really... More

A few minutes away from brash (and over-hyped) waterfront restaurants. More
