What an amazing experience.
The head chef was so friendly and so accommodating. The food was "The Jobs"????????????
The drinks and the dessert were even better.
Thank u. We will definitely be returning.

I would recommend anyone to go to the Cargo hold, it was tranquil and inviting. The tank set up is so stunning and when the lights go off its something absolutely gorgeous my only nit pick would be for them to tank the music alittle as it felt one song played whole night but that's just a preference not a problem. It really was a wonderful experience

Wow! I lived in Durban my whole life but only visited Cargo hold this year in May. Took my person there to celebrate our anniversary. I booked a table near the tank in advance. The views and food was absolutely amazing, the service was great. My person loved the lamb shank, couldn't stop talking about it. I ordered the prawn platter, absolutely no regrets ????

Well spaced charming restaurant. Loved the aquarium view and there portions were very generous. Drinks are pricey though but definitely worth the dinning experience.

Wobbly chairs, upholstery on chairs badly stained. The only rose' wine on their menu out of stock so absolutely no alternative. Two lamb shanks ordered. Greatly differed in size. Waitress had complete lack of training. Requested salt and pepper 3 times. Forgot drink orders.

Can't understand how a main meal fillet steak does not include a side of chips or veg. It is an extra charge for a side.

Menus are printed back to back like a take away restaurant. Definitely does not suit the setting.

Guest should be advised PRIOR to ordering their meals what is unavailable on the menu. We had to take additional time to decide what to order when we were told that duck and pork ribs were unavailable.

Food was exceptional apart from the considerable difference in portion size between the two lamb shanks.

Service was atrocious.

Cleanliness just unacceptable.

General level or comfort and care was low.
