De Viswijf

We are situated on left hand side to Diaz Road cut se sac. The building is double story with the restaurant being on the first story. It has three parts to the restaurant. The fine dining inside section. This side will do you well when wanting to impress.

Always liked this restaurant but It's a couple of years since we last dined here. We heard the restaurant had changed and we decided to have dinner with friends. Loved the new look but the 'rickety-looking' entrance staircase was very familiar. The menu looked welcomingly familiar - ribs were the special for the day and we all ordered them. Service was pleasant and efficient. Not sure that the number of ribs added up to the advertised 450 gm, but they were attractively served with three small racks. I really enjoyed the first two racks and all that went with it, but my third rack was terrible. Very overdone with little meat. What meat there was I eventually spat our because I simply couldn't get it down me. Everyone else had a good meal. I let my plate be taken away with a complaint and the waitress quickly returned and asked if I would like a replacement rack - In retrospect I think I should have accepted this and added it to my wife's take-away pack, but I said "No thanks - we have all finished eating". When the bill came I commented that I thought some allowance should have been made for the unsatisfactory ribs - the answer was "Well we offered you a replacement; what do you want?" - my reply was to suggest a voucher for a free glass of house wine with my next meal. (I though this very fair as I would have to return to use the voucher.) This was refused by the manager who hardly looked up from the table where he was eating. The waitress was clearly embarrassed as we left. I don't feel the waitress should have to act as a go-between a dissatisfied customer and management and the incident spoiled an otherwise pleasant evening.Thank you for sharing your concern and opinion, we again apologise that this was your experience. In all fairness though it sounds that we may have been judged before you entered as in your opinion some of our efforts to upgrade since your last visit were still rickety, and not possibly still a working progress, as you seem to have liked all else that have changed, yet still felt familiar.As you have mentioned you ordered the already marked down "special" meal of the day at a mere R99 per person that includes a free glass of wine, hence we only offered to replace what you were not content with as we feel this to be fair approach in an already discounted meal.The waitress checked with me as she should in any such instance and as manager in the corner and owner I recommended this is how we address it, my apologies for not meeting with your personal expectations in further addressing the matter after you kindly declined what was offered and then not making a further fuss as you left, as in our opinion you apologise and then not spoil the rest of your time by making a fuss.Also my apologies for not interrupting my dinner as you left, I however recall saying thank you and goodbye.The waitress acted as instructed, apologized and you kindly declined, does this justify a poor rating and discrediting our hard work, reputation and overall rating on this platform I'm left to ask.Thanking you again for sharing your opinion and concern. Please feel free to contact us directly should you wish to further discuss this.Kind regards.Owner and Management.

Well worth a visit. Manny and Maria have been in J'Bay and Aston Bay for ages. They know their food and they personally prepare it. Good peri peri chicken and prawns, very good giblets, very good sardinas, best trinchado and many more very well prepared dishes. We love their food. Don't miss out on Aston Arms, you just might enjoy it very much.
