We visited on 2025/10/08 around 13h00. The food took about 45min to arrive and was terrible. Not just terrible, disgusting. Chips were half cold, obviously old and full of oil. My daughter's food (meatballs, calamari, chicken strips) was raw and uneatable. The onion rings were raw. My very hungry kid couldn't get halfway through his burger before declaring it tastes bad and only gets a 1/10 from him. See the attached pics. I should not have paid, but we just wanted to get out of there. I did speak to the owner and she said she would sort it out. Not recommended at all. Yuck.

Now, look here. There are places where you just go to grab a drink, and then there are places where the frequency is just... right. I’m talkin’ about the Jolly Dolphin. ​You walk in, you feel that J-Bay salt in the air and the hum of the felt under the lights. It’s a literal and metaphorical shoreline, man. And at the helm of that ship? You’ve got Vasti. ​Vasti, I just want to take a cosmic second to say thank you. Your support for the pool community? That’s not just business; that’s stewardship. You’re tending to the garden, makin' sure the game has a soul and the players have a home. ​Under your stewardship, Vasti... man, who knows where our horizons end? We’re just gonna keep that cue ball rollin', chasin’ the sunset, and findin' the win in the process. ​Just keep livin’. And keep 'em rackin'.

Now listen, you gotta appreciate a place that’s got a heartbeat, and the Jolly Dolphin? It’s pumping pure J-Bay soul. ​I’ve been stepping foot in this joint since I was a eight-year-old kid—just a little soul looking for a rhythm. I’ve been a living witness to decades of growth, watching the merriment evolve and the spirit of this place catch a real fine frequency. ​Under the current ownership, they haven't just built a bar; they’ve cultivated a culture of community. It’s about connection, man. It’s about that shared energy that keeps us all humming. To the team behind the wheel: thank you for keeping the light on and the vibe high. ​Just keep livin’. ​5 Stars.

Was a good kuier, prices could drop a bit for drinks.
