I underestimated this place. The food was so delicious. We had the Princess Prawns they were huge and what a portion. It came with Durban inspired spicy rice. We also had fish which came in such a pretty plating. It was my parent’s anniversary and if you tell them in advance if you are going for a special occasion, they will bring a lovely cake for the birthday/anniversary. It also has a great view of the lighthouse and ocean. Really great for brunch or lunch. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 450–500 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This lovely & relaxing restaurant by Oyster Box is our favorite spot to chill. Beautiful sea view while having your food. The service is excellent. The other time we went there & the weather suddenly changed, the lady who was serving us was kind enough to offer us some throw blankets to feel warm. 5 star experience ✨️ Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Seafood Platter
Food was amazing. The waiter we had was very efficient and always checked on us even though the place was a bit busy. Beautiful view of the ocean. Very calm and serene. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 500+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Lamb Shank
Always an absolute delight visiting The Oyster Box, Ocean Terrace. Our vegetarian and Vegan meals were scrumptious and well presented. We enjoyed our brunch with the beautiful view of the beach and the lighthouse in the prime location of Umhlanga. Our waiter was so attentive and friendly. Surreal and great ambiance. All in all, good service, good value cleanliness and high-quality. Look forward to visiting again. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person R 500+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We celebrated our anniversary there. Everything was on point, the service was excellent and so was the food. I forgot to take a photo of my main because I scarfed it down. 😂 When we arrived they had an anniversary balloon tied to my chair, even though I ordered the fondant for dessert they brought us a lovely piece of vanilla cake. Everything was excellent. I had Salmon and my husband had the curry buffet. Love the Oyster Box, all their restaurants are good. I actually think Ocean Terrace is better than the Grill Room. My only disappointment was I didn't get to see Skabanga (the resident cat), other than that 10 stars! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 400–450 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Coming during a shift change for a sunset cocktail wasn't the best timing from a service perspective, but once we settled in, the service was great. Come for the ambiance, stay for drinks. Not sure dinner is worth the price, but come for a drink and enjoy a trip to colonial yesteryear. Service Dine in Meal type Other Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

If you’re in Durban, you have to visit the Ocean Terrace. The view and ambience are amazing. The food and staff are great. 10/10. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 250–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Prawn Sushi
Great view and ambiance. Service is top notch. Portion sizes are really small though for the hefty price tag. I had the confit of duck and while it was absolutely delicious , it was simply too small for the price unfortunately. It’s a good place for a quiet lunch and to celebrate something special.

Great experience. Lovely view and setting, fun décor. The hotel foyer and reception are exquisite. The drinks menu with 4x markups on locally branded waters and wines push the limits of being grossly overpriced. The expensive food menu is worth it though. R550 Indian buffet was amazing. Service can really sharpen up - it seems as though the waiters pay attention to certain tables and patrons only. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+
