Good setting and overall good food. Service was good and although the menu is rather limited in choice the food is really well prepared and tasty. Portion size just right.

On Friday after noon the 11th of October me my brother and his mom went out for lunch at our local Ocean basket in Secunda to celebrate a promotion that my brother has received at work.
We had a lovely cold one and then feasted on some succulent calamari and juicy prawns.
Thanks Alton and the Ocean Basked team for the great dining experience and for always making the customers feel like Royalty

I my family and friends have been dining out at Ocean Basket Secunda since the day they opened their doors for business. From when you enter the doors you are greeted with smiles all around you, you are taken to the table and then immediately the waiter introduces himself and asks for the drink order if he won?t be your waiter he will inform you on whom will have the pleasure of serving your table. The drinks are served promptly with the freshest buns with farm style real butter for that appetiser before the big meal. With the funky Portuguese music playing in the background it?s creating this awesome away from home atmosphere with all the laughter of the people around you. Now it?s time for starters? Oh No! What to choose? Everything is so nice. What we usually do as friends or family is each ordering a different starter and then ask the chef to put it in one huge pan and we?ll all share over the table or we?ll all just pass around our separate pans to each other This way you have the opportunity to experience all the different tastes and have a lot of fun around the table. Awesome. By this time the manager has already visited the table to ask if all is in order and toss around a few jokes. Eventually is time for the main course, YES! My favourite main course will be the platter for one because it has a bit of everything on the pan. My second favourite main course will be the Kingklip with the most amazing mouth-watering cheese and mushroom thermadore sauce ever. With a prawn top-up, fried calamari top-up and a creamy garlic mussel top-up. The food has arrived. Wow. Its looks unbelievably delicious.
Time to dig in. Yeah!
First the juicy prawns, taken by the hand, the meat so easily pulled away from the shell it melts in my mouth as its touches my tongue. Now the calamari- so nice and crunchy on the outside and as you bite into it the juiciness of the meat just melts away in your mouth. Now it?s time for the Mussels, sucking the meat of the shell with this most amazing creamy garlic sauce that prickles every taste but on your tong. Saving the best for last, the Kingklip with the themadore sauce. I don?t know where to start, that first bite in my mouth just exploded. A hint of heaven gets experienced with every single bite. Sadly it?s time to close the evening by deciding on a desert, luckily this is easy. There no better baklava in the world the Ocean baskets Greek baklava pudding. The crunchy fresh nutty snack. Awesome. After paying our bill with a smile on our way to the door we are greeted by the staff members with a smile. With a smile on our waiters face he awaits us at the door to open the door for us and wishing us well.
I have been around and visit different restaurants for a hobby to find out on the experience they are offering to their customers. I have a very fine eye for attention to detail and judge a place from A to Z. I have tried every ocean basket I have come upon but my experience with Ocean Basked Secunda has without a doubt been the best I have ever had and all my family members and friends will strongly agree with me on this. Locally, out of town and abroad, Ocean basket definitely a must for all food and entertainment lovers.
Thanks Ocean Basket Secunda
