Visited Doppio Zero Boardwalk and found it bustling with activity. Although we waited as instructed by the sign at the entrance, we weren't assisted due to the busy atmosphere. It seemed quite popular and full, which speaks to its appeal. We'll definitely give it another try on a less busy day to fully experience what they have to offer!

Doppio Zero is an absolutely amazing and vibrant restaurant. The food is spectacular as always (I've been here 4 times in the past 2 months). And the atmosphere is definitely amazing even the service is great, just not when it's a very busy afternoon/evening. Especially if you are a solo diner, the service on a busy evening is not the best. The wait is tend to go for the bigger tables, then you and also it takes a while for your food to arrive to you compared to the bigger tables where they order after you but get their food before you. This happened to me twice already since I am a solo diner.

Drinks after work on a Friday was awesome. The weather wasn't great so inside was truly packed with people but there's also became a benefit as there was a great atmosphere and hum amongst the restaurant. No food was tried but on the way out it was very tempting to potentially have a dessert to go. All-round look forward to coming in another evening as well as heard positive reports about the breakfast menu.

When I lived in Johannesburg, I always went to Doppio Zero in Greenside and Rosebank. Service and Food was always of the highest standard. So, I had high expectations when a Doppio Zero opened at the Boardwalk Complex in Port Elizabeth. The minute that I arrived at Doppio Zero PE, my expectations deflated. There is a sign, as you come in, it says: 'Please wait to be seated' We waited and waited, at least 5 minutes. No one was at the entrance to meet us. Eventually a gentleman came to us and greeted us, I guess he was the Barista, and greeted us. He did ask where we would like to sit. We said that we'd like to sit outside. He said to us: "Go outside and choose a table" So, we went outside and had to choose a table that was actually clean. We found one clean table, where we sat at. Ten minutes later, not one server came to us. Servers were about, attending to other tables. There did not seem to be a Floor Manager on duty, surely a Floor Manager would be on Duty? The servers did not even seem to notice us. I did see a woman seated at a table with a bunch of paperwork on the table in front of her, I guessed that she was also a patron. She may have been the Manager, but I have no idea. We got up and left the restaurant. No one acknowledged our departure, or engaged with us. The family of four seated next to us, also got up and left, without being acknowledged either. This is the busiest season of the year, one would think that a Restaurant of this caliber would be at the top of their game, but sadly, not.

We went to have breakfasr. Generous portions and large vegetarian variety. Staff were very friendly, our waitress seemed a bit inexperienced but she was pleasant. Had a lovely experience.

The venue is placed perfectly in the heart of Summerstrand. The service is fantastic and the food is the cherry on top. Don't be fooled by some negative reviews. The venue is less than a month old as I am writing this so growing pains is normal. This venue will become an amazing venue for friends and family to enjoy a great experience on our lovely beachfront.

Having just travelled from the UK I was recommended to try Doppio Zero PE. Ended up going there for brunch. Could not have been more satisfied with the service and the excellent food that was provided and the flavours really hit the spot. Portion sizes were amazing for the price too. Would highly recommend Doppio Zero.
Whoah!! What terrible service. Took 15min for someone to even come say hi. Our waiter didn’t know the menu well, kept going to ask about every item we wanted to order. Food took 50min to come, the drinks only came after the food (where is this ever done?) and mine was not good at all, just coated in a ridiculous amount of flour. What a shame. The place is lovely.
