After visiting the Sandton store for a quick lunch today, and not looking at a menu as I visit fairly often, I was astounded to see an almost 20% increase in prices (for what I had at least). I understand it's a business you run, however, these types of prices now make choosing a Friday lunch place or a family meal out a little more discerning, which means less frequent visits to Ocean Basket. This is not due to the price itself, but rather to the fact the quality of the food does not equate to the new price. As I have a family of four, when visiting Ocean Basket in the future, this is a substantial knock against affordability at a restaurant that was once very reasonable. But, that's why you have competition out there - for the benefit of the customer. Good luck!
(By the way, if I recall, the previous Sandton store went insolvent a while back? History repeats itself.)
