    Went to this restaurant again today. I ordered the Salmon Salad that looked delicious. See fotos attached. The first photo is what I received, second photo is what I ordered. Thirdly the bill. This restaurant needs a knowledgeable manager. At least the staff is always friendly.

    The place was spacious, there were options to sit in or outside, Rutendo, our waitress was really lovely and helpful. Their food was really affordable and the drinks too. I ordered the sole prawn meal and it was so yummy, the best prawns I’ve had to date

    Took my parents out for dinner it was so nice, they have yummy cocktails and their food was really good, the only thing was they should ask you what sauce you want on your prawns as the one on mine was not nice. Louisa our waitress was so attentive and sweet special thanks to her

    We ordered simple food hake and chips and sushi. The fish and chips cold. The coleslaw was rotten. No sauce. When we ask for normal peri peri we get charged R15 more. Waitress was not interested we asked for a manager. No one came. I have a picture of the sauce bottle and I'm not joking it literally had 2 tablespoon to empty. Then some guy with a black hoodie comes and hangs over my food and takes the sauce. When I ask him do you work here. The answer was yes. I can't understand why the staff are not wearing uniforms 😒. It's just so ridiculous. Not wasting anymore of time visiting the John dorys. That's it for me!

    We made a last-minute decision to have a meal while our car was charging, and were met by the smiling, friendly Nelly. She made sure my husband's vegan sushi was prepared with a clean knife to avoid any allergic reactions. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, the music was at a decent volume, the restaurant was spotless, the facilities were neat and sanitary. A pleasant experience indeed.

    Love the food especially the sushi and the new bao buns (especially the chicken)! Great play area for the kids.

    Todays special, dubbel hake & chips for R129.00 The best that they do is to use a non Polystyrene container for take aways.

  • 5/5 Lenn J. 1 year ago on Google
    A recent spur of the moment supper at John Dory's Hartbeespoort during Feb 2023 loadshedding proved be a true 5 star experience. Both the baked and grilled fish were excellent and full of flavour. The chips were hot and crispy. The rice was great and the salad was fresh. Starting and ending a meal with great service left us with a rather pleasant feeling. Nice to see our old faithful maintaing a high standard!

  • 4/5 Sonia van K. 1 year ago on Google
    The management had gone to a lot of trouble for Valentine's evening - red carpet, flowers and the waitresses all wore red. The service was a bit slow and our starter took close on an hour to arrive without cutlery. By the time the cutlery arrived we'd finished eating the Popcorn Prawns which were absolutely delicious (even though they did not have the sesame seeds and spring onions as advertised). The main portions could be a bit more generous, but tasted superb. Overall a pleasant evening at a reasonable price

    My dish was wonderful. It exceeded my expectations. The food was so good that I only remembered to take a photo of it, when I was almost finished eating. I had the Prawn Halloumi salad

  • 5/5 Angelique L. 10 months ago on Google
    Great restaurant. Food was so fresh and delicious. Sushi was amazing. Highly recommended.

  • 1/5 Zintene 1 year ago on Google
    Food was bland. Sushi of poorest quality I have ever eaten. Salmon was definitely not fresh. They forgot to give us the 2 1,5l Coke Zeros we had ordered. After a phone call to them we waited 2 hours for them to deliver the coldrinks.

  • 2/5 Christiaan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice play area for the kids. Waited forever for our drinks and after placing our food order we waited almost an our for the food to arrive. They weren't at full capacity and therefore there wasn't a reason for the massive delay. Ordered starters and the mains at the same time and got everything the same time an hour later. If only the food was worth the wait. They won't see me again.
