Tom and I visited Saltwater Grill for.the first time despite many varied reports on FB! Our waitron Emmy was very helpful and friendly. She explained the specials to us and the giant prawns were on special. We ordered a seafood platter and requested that they replace the smaller prawns with the giant prawns. We offered to pay extra. The owner Dylan came to our table to advise the extra cost. Service was great and so was our food. We ended off with two coffees. We will certainly be back!
From the start the friendly knowledgeable waitress gave us a sense of good things to come. We were not disappointed. I had the seafood platter which has almost every fish item on the menu. The dish arrived timeously and very well presented. Every bit of seafood was perfectly cooked and butter soft. Chips are chips and rice is rice but even they could not be faulted in the slightest. All in all a perfect evening and a perfect meal with the owner/manager Dylan the perfect attentive host.
Tucked away in Pinelands is this very special restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, the service is equally exceptional. Here's a quick round up on my taste experience: The sesame crusted tuna ceviche starter was the best I've ever had, followed by mussels in THE most amazing sauce, mains was the grilled calamari and hake combo (as I couldn't make up my mind between calamari or fish) with a garden salad and stir fried veg while my husband had the prawn combo with chips (equally as good). There were 4 of us that went (we travelled from the northern suburbs and my sister and her boyfriend from Tamboerskloof) we all agree that even though we don't live in Pinelands it's totally worth the drive and we look forward to coming back for another great evening out. Thanks to Dylan the owner and all those working there for making our evening extra special. We left with smiles on our faces and very full stomachs. This is what a good seafood experience is all about.
Wowwww finally had dinner here. Amazing service, fantastic atmosphere...but the food....wow wow wow out of this world. Thank u Dylan for the best service and most yummylicious food ever. We will be back over and over again
The food was absolutely delicious with stunning presentation. I would highly recommend this hidden gem. The staff was also super efficient and friendly. Keep it up Saltwater Grill.
Loved this place as a local restaurant the food was excellent the chef regularly came out to check on us and over the 8 week period we were based here on a project the staff always recognized us and made us welcome. Highly recommend 😬
Our favourite restaurant, just love their seafood stew, their calamari oh just everything on the menu is delicious. Excellent service and ambiance.

I was absolutely blown away by the food and the presentation. Truly a little gem situated in the little Howard Centre in Pinelands. Everything from service, to actual food was amazing. Highly recommend Saltwater to all
What a fantastic little resturant. Managing to accommodate our table of 15 that became a table of 17. [596634918:Dylan Grant Paioni] and his staff were fantastic. Our waiter Alfred was never seen without a smile. And then there was the food, well i dont need to say much. The fact that everyone was taking photos of their food says it all. And the ohhhs and ahhhhs were a plenty. Thx [188182718192435:Saltwater Grill] for making [654791621:Lesley Scheepers] birthday a great one. We will be back soon.
Friendly staff, Kingklip grilled to perfection. My sauté veggies to die for. My husbands chips were spot on. The presentation exceptional. Staff very efficient. Will be back for sure.
Have been wanting to eat here for quite sometime as it's in my hood.Had a delicious seafood platter yesterday and the atmosphere and service were friendly.Definately will be back.
The fish was tender and beautifully cooked... I expected the standard veggies but was presented with a medley of veggies stir fried to perfection... Not soggy and not totally raw... When I am back in Cape Town I will be back here...
Fantastically prepared food, beautifully presented and terrific service from wonderful staff. Excellent value. Highly recommend
Friendly, efficient service. Really good seafood and best chips we have had in ages! Superb. Must book!
Saltwater Grill is the hub of the town for delicious seafood options and wonderful salads. The presentation is always elaborate and wonderful on the eye and the staff (both waiters and kitchen staff) work incredibly hard to bring smiles to the faces of customers. The panna cotta is the best desert on the menu! Absolutely love this place.
Wonderful restaurant. Gorgeous food. Even there delivery while under lockdown is exceptional... Go guys great job
Absolutely amazing!
We were a table of 13 that booked for a birthday and all our expectations were just superceded.
Service was exceptional- our waiter was attentive, friendly and so on top of things.
Food was delicious.. Absolute perfection and portion size was very generous.
Thank you Saltwater Grill!
The starters and mains have never disappointed eaten there a number of times has always been excellent
Good quality seafood with a upperclass touch.
Amazing restaurant, highly recommend the Asian inspired dishes. The sushi was fresh and the ramen bowl was hearty (and good value for money!) Chips and calamari are great too!
Have been to Saltwater Grill on two occasions now and the food and presentation has been absolutely amazing on both occasions. A bit pricey but definitely worth it. Service is fast and waiters are always checking in on you. Made a booking for my fiancés birthday and they really made the evening special. Would highly recommend and keep coming back.
This restaurant is lovely. The atmosphere is a bit cafeteria like but the food was AMAZING. Had the seafood platter for 1, but really, it served two of us. The rice was so delicious, and the sauce that the mussels were in was so good. It was strange that we had three waiters attending to us. I asked who our official waiter was but was told that they worked together and helped each other. I feel like it's not always great to do this. They were mostly friendly and helpful, though. Overall, everything was lovely. The food is definitely the reason for going to this restaurant.
Everything was fantastical! Lunch was awesome . Food was top-notch, and so was the atmosphere and service. Thanks to the waitress Virginia for the great service from the beginning to the end. Deserts were just the touch needed to end off our magical lunch. The vibe was ambient and cozy, and the prawns were to die for. Will definitely come back for more
We had a wonderful time, from the moment we got there to the time we left. Our service professional, Patou, was very patient and helpful and the food was excellent. Our starter hand rolls were some of the best we've had. The fried potato ring in the salad was amazing in both taste and presentation, the calamari was tender and the braised pork belly kakuni was an eye opener. I'd highly recommend a visit, but do be sure to book in advance as it's a very popular place that fills up quickly.
My first time at saltwater grill. Cozy setting with minimalistic decor. Great service and good food.
I opted for the pork ramen. Although not really authentic ramen, it was deliciously rich and packed with flavour. The egg was poached im soy and was delicious. A massive portion of tender and juicy pork and fresh noodles to match.
Overall a great dish for a Winter's evening.
For starters we shared the sushi which was unbelievably fresh and well made. Probably my favourite of the evening.
The fish and chips looked delicious and everyone at the table was happy.
Overall a good restaurant.
Been meaning to come here for a while and all I can say is it was well worth the wait. Staff is super attentive, food was excellently presented and delicious, atmosphere was lovely and menu offers a massive variety of tantalizing seafood options. Will definitely be coming back to try their poke bowls! Well done on a fabulous place Dylan.
Made a visit for the great looking prawns and was not disappointed. Vincent was a great waiter and did not miss a beat. The beautiful presentation of the food showed that the people in the kitchen really cares. Will definitely be back.
Saltwater Grill never disappoints.
Their food is always great quality, fresh and flavorful. They also have lovely margaritas.
Their seafood platter for 2 is also great value. I'd love if they made some more gluten free dessert options, but other than that, great experience.
Had a great night at Saltwater Grill for my birthday. Sushi was top class and the mains were also very good. We went during loadshedding (by coincidence) so service was a bit slower and some of the items on the menu could not be made due to working on the generator but we still had a very nice evening with friendly service that went the extra mile for my birthday surprise dessert. Keen to go back for some of the more exotic items on the menu.
I enjoyed the Oysters with Tosazu Dressing. What a treat! I highly recommend this place for oysters, specifically in the Durbanville area.
It was our first time visiting. We didn't make a booking as we thought that it would be easy to get a table, we did but was told to make a booking in future. The venue is lovely, the service friendly and the food was great. Don't make a mistake with your order though as management refused to take it back. The prices are very reasonable and the decor is pleasant.

This is an amazing little gem. I have never tasted such delicious food in ages.
Fresh and colorful and just delicious!!!
My new favourite restaurant
Such an amazing little restaurant, so cozy and the food was fantastic and big portions!!
The very best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Plus the food was really hot. The service was friendly and excellent. So many dishes to choose from and different, interesting sweets to choose from. These were also delicious. Highly recommended.
What a gem in Durbanville. Its so important that a restuarant is run by a owner manager, and even cook the food himself. Well done. We had an great evening at Saltwater grill with our 15 wedding anaversury. Beeing a restuarant owner myself, I was blown away with great service and amazing food. Keep it up!!
By far the best sushi we have ever had. Lovely service, great atmosphere. The luxury platter for two is HUGE! I absolutely recommend this restaurant to everyone for any occasion. Very very happy
