REVIEW: Why I wish I'd tried seafood from Ocean Basket sooner

Known for its signature seafood dishes, warm and inviting atmosphere - this restaurant has become a go-to destination for sea food lovers. I had the pleasure of dining at Ocean Basket with a friend, courtesy of a R1000 voucher from them. Upon arriving, we were welcomed warmly by their friendly staff before being allocated a waiter. We were then assigned to a waitress who was such a breath of fresh air. She was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly confident in her role - which, let me tell you, is exactly what you want as a customer. Since my friend was unfamiliar with the menu and conflicted about what to order, our waitress quickly stepped in to help. She offered a variety of seafood dishes that she thought might interest us, making the decision process so much easier. We each ordered the platter for one option, which allowed us to indulge in a variety of seafood delights. The platter for one option includes a selection of their popular seafood delights such as their select 100g fish, 6 prince prawns, 3 mussels, calamari 165g and calamari heads. This is served with half chips and half rice - which I always find brilliant. And honestly, if you've been to Ocean Basket before you'll know their seafood is to die for. Review | Will certain foods increase my libido and can sex be viewed as exercise? Freshness: The fish (hake) was incredibly fresh, and the mussels were cooked to perfection, they were three but very huge and we ordered some extra - the garlicky creamy sauce they always serve the mussels with always snaps and it pairs well with the prawns too. Calamari: I tried the fried calamari for the first time ever at Ocean Basket, and it was amazing! A great twist on the classic grilled option. The crispy exterior and tender interior were perfectly balanced, and their portion is always generous when it comes to calamari. Oysters: Although I only had one as we ordered the option of just 2 to avoid getting overwhelmed, the oysters were fresh and eatable, my friend really enjoyed them as it was the first having them and showed interest in getting them the next time dining at Ocean Basket. For those who are new to oysters, I recommend pairing them with tabasco sauce, lemon, and salt to balance out the flavour and trust me on this, I'm not a diehard fan of them but this trick always does it for me. However, the oysters were expertly prepared, and the flavour was rich and briny. Rice and fries: The rice was cooked to perfection, and the fries were very crispy and flavourful. The option to have both on the platter will always be a great touch, allowing us to customise our meal to our liking. Prawns: Their prawns are always the highlight of the meal, they're not too big and not too small as well, they are just perfect prince prawns. These were succulent and flavourful with the lemon butter sauce, the basting of the sauce was done perfectly - no complaints. Service: The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, ensuring that we had a seamless dining experience. Read more | Peri-Peri Prawn We enjoyed our meal with a glass of wine, which complemented the seafood perfectly and it added a rich and velvety texture to the meal, and the combination was absolute perfection. In addition, while Ocean Basket excels at its signature seafood dishes, the menu could benefit from some variety, such as lobster/crabs, crayfish, caviar, and abalone just to give it that boost and excitement for seafood lovers, but their focus on quality over quantity is evident in their dishes. If you're looking to try out new culinary experiences - look no further than experiencing high-quality seafood with Ocean Basket, not just for the freshness and flavours that will leave you wanting more, but for your diet too. I highly recommend incorporating seafood into your diet due to its numerous health benefits and versatility, seafood is the source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients which can contribute to a number of health benefits. Overall, despite some limitations in the menu, my experience was really enjoyable, I loved everything about the exceptional service, delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. If you're a seafood lover, Ocean Basket is definitely worth a visit and their prices are very reasonable and realistic, and did you know if you go there on Mondays and order any adult meal you get a free meal for your little one? How cool and considerate is that? So why settle for ordinary when you can have extraordinary with Ocean Basket? I give everything a solid 10/10 I had no complaints with anything and would definitely dine with them every now and then.

Philadelphia woman says Greyhound gave her the runaround after discovering her $479 voucher had nothing on it

When Tanisha Bryant's Greyhound bus to Canada was canceled this winter, she says the company compensated her with a $479 voucher for future travel. She kept it and planned to use the credit when her schedule and budget aligned, according to NBC10 Philadelphia. In April, Bryant, who lives in Philadelphia, and a friend logged on to Greyhound's booking site to reserve a trip to Virginia Beach with Greyhound. To her shock, the digital voucher registered a balance of $0. 'I thought, maybe I made a mistake,' Bryant recalled. 'So I tried it again. Zero dollars.' I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Bryant says she immediately phoned customer service, only to be told, 'It looks like you've already used this voucher.' When she asked when and by whom, the agent had no record — and promptly hung up. 'I was speechless,' Bryant said. After multiple calls and emails, she filed a complaint with NBC10 Philadelphia. She shared her documentation — the original ticket, voucher details and correspondence — with NBC10. Three days later, Greyhound's customer service team reached out. Instead of reissuing a new voucher, Bryant was informed the carrier would refund her the full $479 in cash. 'I received an email that they decided… we're just gonna give you the money outright,' she said. When NBC10 asked for Greyhound's official response, the company declined to explain the initial error but issued this statement: 'We are committed to doing everything possible to ensure our customers have a positive travel experience. If they have questions or need help before, during, or after their trip, our dedicated customer service team can provide timely assistance by phone, chat, or email.'

In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how Many tourism companies offer travel vouchers to compensate consumers for failed trips. In 2020, GMA reported passengers had over $10 billion in untapped travel credits. Still, even legitimate vouchers can sometimes lead to unexpected complications. To safeguard yourself in the event of a failed voucher, it's wise to adopt a few best practices. Document the voucher immediately: Note the voucher number, issue date and expiration. Screenshot the digital voucher or save the email as a PDF to have a permanent record. Confirm usability before shelving it: Call customer service as soon as you receive the voucher. Ask the representative to verify the balance and expiration, and record their name, employee ID and call time. Use it promptly: Policy changes or system errors can render unused credits worthless. Booking your next trip as soon as possible helps you minimize the risk. Understand terms and conditions: Read restrictions such as blackout dates, transferability and refund policies. Many vouchers expire within a few months and may carry blackout or minimum-spend requirements. Protect with travel insurance: If you paid for the original ticket with a credit card or have separate travel insurance, verify whether it covers unused vouchers or additional out-of-pocket costs if the voucher fails. A good tip to remember is to capture every detail when you receive your voucher and confirm its value before it's too late. Acting swiftly not only protects your travel credit but also spares you the kind of ordeal Bryant experienced.
