"It's a wonderful place and amazing scenery to enjoy food Basic chairs and table...but ok Foodwise...tried their shell out with buttermilk sauce...hmmmm it's a hit n miss. It's cold and not hot...taste is just ok. Nothing much to rave about the food. No fish in it...only mussels, crabs, prawns and squid (a frozen squid ring by the way...really off by it). Facilities are nice and well maintained. Staffs are good too."

"Place is just next to beach and one of the better designed, opposite also having a resort with Santorini themed. IG certified for sure. Restaurant is clean, chill and windy (even though al-fresco). Price would be slightly than others due to the design or environment. Food wise I think nothing much to shout about, decent but can be better for that kind of price. But the prawn given is pretty fresh and big though. Service could be improve as well, some of the staff need to be more attentive. Overall, worth going for the environment and can be a relaxing dinner with family."

"This eatery by the sea stands out and have no doubt attracts the insta crowd. Lots of fresh fish on display and a beautiful view especially at sun set. Thankfully arrived before the sun set crowd around 6pm and it was still a relaxed vibe but wish I had remembered my mossie repellant! The food was a decent portion but fish was filled very simply and veg overly spicy. Squid was alright but i did wonder whether I should have gone to the smiley kebab chap who had the most amazing Kashmiri beard. As other reviews have said big shout out to head waitress, who made up for the lack of urgency elsewhere. Service was pretty decent therefore. I think this place should be better given location and core resource and can imagine it doing very well in future"
