Review: Blowfish Restaurant
We booked a table for Sunday, 21 December 2025 at 17:00 (SAST). From arrival, the experience was unacceptable. There was no parking available near the restaurant, and we were not permitted to park at the Dolphin Beach Hotel. We were forced to park almost 1 km away along Marine Drive, which is unreasonable for a restaurant of this standing. The condition of the restaurant is poor and does not reflect what is advertised online. Furniture is visibly worn, with damaged upholstery on chairs, and the floors were dirty, indicating a lack of proper maintenance and basic cleanliness. There is also false or misleading advertising regarding menu offerings. The website clearly states that sushi is half-price on Wednesdays and Sundays from 16:00. At the restaurant, we were told this applies only to sushi on the conveyor belt, not the menu sushi. When this discrepancy was raised, the manager was unaware of the website promotion, which is unacceptable. They have since changed it on their website stating "Applicable only to Sushi Belt Items" This experience reflects poor management, misleading marketing, and a decline in standards. We will not be returning and do not recommend this establishment.

Blowfish restaurant in Blaauwberg don't appreciate customers
Last night I made a reservation at Blowfish for our anniversary. On arrival, we checked in and was ushered to our table. The manager then informed us that a waiter will be with us shortly and after about 10 minutes we looked around to get a waiter's attention to order drinks but no one was in the section that we were seated at. We waited a while longer but them got up and left. It's so funny that when we passed the waiters they all thanked us and wished us a good night further. It's funny cause that means no one acknowledged us coming in or that we're leaving so soon, it's like we were invisible. My husband informed the manager that we're leaving and he had a lousy excuse. We also sent them an email and the manager rep**** very unprofessional and poor grammar. My husband just wanted to do something nice for us and he was so proud that he made a reservation to impress me and it failed.

A great birthday dinner
We hosted an intimate dinner for our daughter's 21st birthday at Blowfish restaurant in Blouberg on a mid-week evening. We received great service from the first email sent to the night of the dinner. The food was average as some meals were better than others but the ambiance was fantastic and the staff were amazing. I do think booking it during the week helped because the restaurant wasn't busy. It was a relaxing and memorable evening.
