Larrys was a pleasant surprise and its a very good local spot - Everyone was friendly and its good to see some local youth employed there. Lovely play area, stunning view of Uvongo and the ocean and had such a pleasant dinner. Service was exceptional as well. Will definitely be comming back for more!

Being a restaurant that's located on the sea front does have its advantages but with a magnificent 270degree view over Uvongo beach and tidal pool and surrounding is a big plus. A nice family restaurant with very helpful and friendly staff. The service was excellent - we phoned twice regarding the menu and price and everyone the response was quick and to the point. The tarred road from the main road is in urgent need for repairs but still drive-able. The food prices are fairly decent Although we had some takeaway -The food itself was well prepared and presented

Words can’t describe the beauty and comfort you feel in this restaurant. The service is probably the best I’ve seen in the country, Terrance is an angel, he so friendly and helpful, best service I’ve had by far. The food was an immediate hit, they are super helpful when it comes to dietary restrictions and telling you more about the dishes. A lot is made in house which is amazing. The oysters, prawns, eisbein and cheesecake were all a 10/10. The desk has stunning ocean views and the entire restaurant is super cosy and it feels like home.

2nd sit down (first time just a desert a shake) This time ordered something more substantial and it was awesome. In fact writing this I'm back now ordering the same lol. The Butter chicken Pizza is amazing and the Cheesecake, WOW, you simply HAVE TO have the Cheescake lol. Thank you for the recommendations Nathan. I will definitely visit more often. Good food and atmosphere.

Fantastic restaurant with excellent views of the ocean from the outside seating area. Food is top-notch but takes time to prepare correctly. Service is friendly and efficient. Would recommend to anyone in the area on holiday at the south coast. It's worth the drive.
