"Their menu is simple with your classics like pizza, burgers, steak and fish. Like most of Gordans Bay, they have a bar with plenty alcohol options available. The owner is a very proud Gordans Bay-ian (if thats a thing). He was chatting to us mentioning how stunning Gordans Bay sunsets are, you can see he LOVES the place) My girlfriend and i were just passing by and got a calamari starter each, and ended up getting another to go as it was so good! Crispy outside, not oily, juicy inside and just a really solid starter calamari. I used to stay in Gordans bay so ive seen this place change from Al fornos to Husk and now My Couzens. Alot of the pictured and reviews are for Husk so their google reviews arent the most explanatory when it comes to what they offer but with that being said, the vibes are good! They could put abit more effort into brand identity but they are a lovely, classic Gordans Bay pub/restaurant vibe right on the ocean with a spectacular view"

"Gorgeous view, as it has always been. We decided to visit the restaurant as we used to eat here when they were under previous ownership. There were many menu items that were unavailable, but I assume this is because off season is approaching. The calamari unfortunately left much to be desired as it was bland. But the mango daiquiri was amazing. The burgers my family chose were delicious. The service was excellent."

"We wanted to start over at the end of our meal it was that great. We were 4 adults and 2 had the pork belly ribs with vegetables, 1 had the same with chips and hubby had the sirloin with veggies. For dessert we had the brownie with ice cream. ALL WAS AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. Only negative comment is that they didn't have cream for the brownie. We brought our own wine as they don't have a liquor licence yet."

Awesome people, awesome atmosphere and a lekker vibe. Apologies for the over loaded plate, I love eating, here i had myself the 300g Sirloin and 500g T-Bone Steak.

"Guys look their prices are quite reasonable and its real value for money. But their is room for improvement... The location is perfect and the waiters really try to make you feel at home but we Waited longer than the estimated time for the food without any explanation for the waiter. As well as the drinks took a long time to come. I will definitely go again but please try to fix these small issues to give your patrons a great and impressive long lasting memory of your establishment."
