DRYDOCK FOOD CO

The Drydock at the Knysna waterfront is a little more expensive than the surrounding restaurants but is worth it for the quality of food. Excellent food and the best service I have had for a long time. Not only was she punctual, but she was also thoughtful and loved her client’s service. Large seafood selection including curried prawns. It also serves Pizzas, burgers, steaks, etc. Full bar available. Excellent views of the waterfront if you arrive early. Wheelchair is accessible for the lower deck but not upstairs. Upstairs has nice romantic mood lighting. Certainly, will be back again.

Very very good restaurant with fantastic view on the harbour. Tables inside and outside available, although the outside ones could get more cosy lights around. Otherwise you won't see the great arrangement on your plate ;)
Definitely the best calamari tubes salad I have ever had!

Love this restaurant! Right on the Knysna harbour with a view of all the boats and marina so the location is unbeatable. Incredibly impressed with the quick well trained servers. Even though our server was new she was so attentive and friendly. All the food portions were so large and delicious. The prawns with the butter sauce are a true star and is a must order item. Came out incredibly quickly from the kitchen. We loved it so much we came back with friends the next night!

Tip: reserve early or chance having to wait in line for a table. Since I was staying at the Protea, I emailed and they were so accommodating.

Pro-tips:
- Prokard Explorer member restaurant so they will give you a discount depending on the number of guests eating with you (up to 50%)
- corkage: they will allow you to bring your own nice wine to enjoy and charge a small corkage

This was a really busy place but we managed to get a table and some service after a wait. I wanted to try the famous Knysna Oysters here. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with some very tiny oysters. The manager was kind enough to knock off half the price due to my disappointment which was much appreciated. I'd definitely give it another try next time I'm in town as I think I might have had an isolated bad experience. The rest of our food was great. Do note, their oyster prices are by no means cheap

Excellent food, excellent service and friendly staff. The setting was amazing, good delicious and the ambiance was great. Stunning Harbour views to enjoy while digging in to the oyster experience and fresh seafood ????. We had ample staff around us to assist us and even managers were always checking in and ready to take pics where needed ????????. Lovely spot and a must do when in Knysna ????????????

Waiting service was great! The sea food was very tasty and good!

Personally I wouldn’t go there for the burgers, but they will still very good.

The view is nice, as long as you get a windows seat, but otherwise it is okay, nothing to write home about.

Overall the restaurant is a great place to spend the evening and enjoy a good meal at!
