This restaurant was exceptionally good,
All courses were brilliant. Steak cooked perfectly, crispy well seasoned potatoes, delicious sauce. The serving sizes were generous and great value for such good food in comparison with other top tier restaurants. The seating was comfortable and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Service was fast, friendly, and professional. We will be back

We recently moved to the Hibiscus Coast and were so happy to discover this gem! It has a beautiful fine-dining feel with a friendly feel, and the service is always spot on. We were looked after by (we think) the manager, he really knows his stuff and made us feel so welcome. The food is consistently amazing, and I especially appreciated the delicious non-alcoholic cocktails while pregnant. It’s become one of our favourite spots, and we love coming back. Great atmosphere, great value, highly recommend!

This was our fifth visit to Semola, and it remains our favourite restaurant. Every dish we've tried so far has been absolutely delicious. However, during this visit, our group of four did feel that the main course portions could be a little more generous. We each had a main and dessert but still left feeling a little hungry. Otherwise, another wonderful experience!

We really enjoyed our dinner at Semola, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and good value for money. It was a little cold inside the dining area, probably because of the concrete floors.

Wow – what an experience, from the moment the door was opened so we could enter until it was opened to let us leave.
Tastefully decorated the restaurant feels open, uncluttered and very clean with the most comfortable chairs imaginable.
The staff were exceptional, polite, attentive without being intrusive and always available to assist.
The food was also exceptional and very reasonably priced. Whoever designed the individual dishes on the menu obviously knows what they are doing to maximise flavour and presentation. The same could be said about the cocktails.
We may have had a better dining experience in the past but neither of us could remember when. In our view the best dining establishment in the area and great value for money. We will return.
