Located right on the beach and had a nice view. Food was prepared fresh and fish, prawns, oysters etc. lobster was the highlight of all dishes! Hoping they could not use the same tongs for pork on fish when grilling. Price is decent compared to what you would get from Europe.

We had a fish soup and a calamari dish, both of which were well made, especially the fish soup. It was plenty, the fish was tender, and there was a fair quantity of vegetables inside. Service was polite and helpful. The restaurant overlooks the sea, it is well decorated, and played a series of popular songs which made our time there enjoyable. Price-wise, it was reasonable for the type of food and the location.

Good fresh options here for seafood. We got the lobster in sweet chili and garlic butter, and the crab in a coconut based sauce. The garlic butter sauce was really good. Prices are really good too for the portions. We got set B and added some fresh shellfish on the side. It does get really busy here towards dinner time so wait times for food can be much longer.

Had a great dinner experience here. We were able to choose our own seafood and they grilled and prepared it to how we wanted. We opted for a garlic butter mix and it was divine!! We had Set A which is good for 2 people and added a lobster on the side to share. With the set we got fish, squid, shrimp, clams and oysters, and rice. The lobster was just a tiny bit overcooked, but still really delicious. I love seafood so much, especially fresh seafood, so I loved this place! On top of that, the views on the top balcony were spectacular and the breeze was lovely. Would def come back!!

We went here due to personnel recommendation and the amazing fresh finish and seafood on show outside. I chose the Jack Fish and the set meal which was grilled to order. It all arrived hot and delicious and was even better sitting upstairs listening to the waves while we ate. The staff and service were excellent and the food was a total bargain for what you got. Superb all round
