“Good reastaurant, too busy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Food was good. Great fish! But were understaffed to deliver service on time. They admitted they were overwhelmed.

“Best terrace for sundowners”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

The best terrace in Peninsula with a stunning sunset. Contrary to what most other reviewers write, I found the service absolutely friendly and efficient. It is an upmarket place, aimed at tourists, expats and wealthy locals, just as everything in the Slipway environment. To be on safe side for food, stay with the local-inspired fare : the beer-battered calamari with sesame seed were an absolute highlight for me.

“Great Outdoor Evening Setting + Local Cuisine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

Being right on the water's edge, with outdoor eating, and nice local cuisine made for a great overall Dar experience. Much nicer than a Big Hotel dinner which is largely the same everywhere around the world. Worth booking a reservation in advance

“Good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

I ate here several times on my last trip. the food is good and tourist safe. A bit pricey. And the service can be slow at times. But the view and sunset are to be seen.
