The table settings are attractive and the walls are covered in historical black-and-white photos. The restaurant offers superb Cape Town specialities, as well as international cuisine.

With its nautical theme, the lobby is a bright area with large glass doors leading through to a pleasant reception, with polished wooden floors and a seating area for guests. High ceilings give the lobby a nice sense of space. The reception has an elevated walkway, similar to a ship's deck, overlooking the central water and floral feature.
