I will give this restaurant the most honest review possible. This was by far one of the worst experiences I've ever had. At first as a seafood fan I was attracted to this place by the wonderful photos of the seafood that were posted on Instagram, but unfortunately the food was below average and very unfair compared to the prices. The portions were very small, although very different in the pictures posted on Instagram (very much zoomed in) and from the ones found on the menu. Plus we had ordered a lobster from a few days back during the reservation and that was very much delayed by the excuse that it needed around 30 minutes to boil (we had been there for more than an hour). The staff were friendly but very slow!! We ordered drinks, but they got them until very much later (you can say we had finished our lunch!!). Plus when we asked for something they got them until 15 to 20 minutes later!! We also asked if they had fresh orange juice or any other juice (although found on the menu) yet again those were unavailable. This place is very much overrated and not like the pictures posted on social media. Definitely will not visit again and as it seems they only care about their image on social media and not about customer experience. Not Recommended at all!!

Fantastic place to enjoy fresh delicious seafood ! Excellent service & experience !!! Highly recommended 👌🏻

The food was great. service was fast and on point.

No cleanliness in the restaurant nor the playground it’s all rusty The food quality is below average Very high prices compared to the quality and the taste The only positive thing was that the waitress was friendly and doing her best. Definitely overrated and not like the Instagram photos at all. Even the seating is not like the photos. All they care is to take a video or photos of the plates when they reach the table but did not focus on the quality and the customer experience .

Way overpriced 450$ 4 adults and 2 kids + billed for dishes we didn't order. They follow the technique of that's the last fresh fish available order it now before its gone . Tourist trap

I love the place The food was amazing but small portion. The fish was fresh but the fried bread was not. We kinda liked the experience, price a bit pricey.

The food is exquisite, I loved everything (except the Egyptian bottarga which was too salty). Fish was fresh. The presentation is amazing and the portions are good. The seaweed were yummy. The view is nice, and the music is really cool ( Greek fusion). Finally the service was excellent. The waiters are super friendly and funny. Price/quality is very reasonable.

This is by far the worst food experience ever, One star is more than enough for rating this place. A complete disaster, prices are very inconvenient compared to other places with better quality. Literally six tiny bites of local raw fish 100g for 35$. This is a complete theft, grilled Calamari and octopus are very chewy with horribly smell, and for tabbouleh they replace lemons with acid citric. Service is also the worst, no privacy, waiters are always at the table. Such a disappointing exerience and money waste. Not recommend 😕

The fried fish are a bit chewy ( malifa and bizri) Grilled octopus is good ( they grilled us a second one cos the first one was chewy and inedible) The grilled fish in coarse salt is tasty The taboule and fatouch were good but weirdly warm “Salt service “ about 6$ was added to the bill We had a better experience 3 years ago To be honest we wont be returning here 2021 visit - Fresh sea food are great A nice seating by the sea Friendly staff Update august 2023

I WISH THERE WERE MORE STARS SO I CAN CLICK ON THEM! On my trip to Lebanon they have the most amazing seafood I’ve ever tasted in my life and I travel everywhere. The beach view is fenomenal, great vibe, amazing service, everyone was so nice and attentive. Best of all was the food. There wasn’t a plate that didn’t “Waoh🤤” me. The plate presentations are a must see. Picking your own fish, literally smashing a dish to eat your fish, food fire presentations. Lovely, place to gather with family and friends. Don’t leave Lebanon without stopping by. DONT FORGET TO TRY THE FRIED ICE CREAM…OMG!!!! 🦞Penelope & Eddy We’ll definitely be back!

A Seafood Restaurant in Safra, arguably in the top 5 Seafood places list in Lebanon. Perfectly engineered menu with a wide selection of Lebanese seafood dishes. Fresh daily produce, amazing quality. Welcoming staff, family oriented atmosphere. You feel the love put in every dish.

Amazing seafood restaurant with great outdoor seating overlooking the sea. Food and service were great. We tried many of the place specialties, and highly recommend the stuffed calamaris, the bizri piniata (bizri tiny fish fried and served in a cocoon of fried bread), and the honey garlic shrimps. For a visually entertaining dish, order one of the sizzling dishes, where the dish is topped by alcohol and flammed, but be aware that the taste of alcohol is going to stick to the food. Atmosphere was great too as they were playing soft greek music around sunset time. Highly recommended! Will be definetely coming back!

Delicious food, affordable prices, great service

Tasty food. Fare for price range. We asked around for good restaurants that serve fish food. On average prices ranged around 40 to 55$ per set menu. Oceanda offered us a la carte menu with high quality food that averaged 40$ per person. Waiters very friendly. Owners present and very helpful. We were recommended what food to order and the options did not fail us. We were 11 people who were all satisfied with the experience. Lovely view

What a spectacular place! We sat down in the taverna, which is quite literally on the water! The service is amazing and the food is homemade! Definitely recommend this beautiful place!

Seafood restaurant of a hotel by the sea. The food is good. There are some good unique like the seaweed pickle salad. The food is well thought of and tastes ok but the frying wasn't good and we got very oily fish apart from that everything else was good. Staff were not really into it, we had to remind them of everything although the restaurant was empty when we were there.

Friendly service and care. The experience was really nice next to the beach. The food was tasty. They changed the squid size. The bizri presentation was nice and tasty. Food is good. I recommend this place.

We booked dinner on valentines night they had a formula $30 per person. There was no variation of food they didn’t put shrimps nor grilled fish only 2 provincial options (octopus and mix seafood) that were disgusting we couldn’t eat them. The qty of food offered was not sufficient for 4 persons and when we asked for additional hommos plate charged it extra. Overall do not recommend this place price vs food qty and quality is too high. Although I must say the staff are friendly

This is a complete ripoff. Unbelievably expensive compared to the extremely bad quality of food. The food is not fresh; and the taste is horrible. Probably the worst food quality in a seafood restaurant in Lebanon. One of the worst experiences we ever had.

2021.05.12 Dinner at Oceanda on the seafront. We had octopus, calamari, shrimps, a seafood tray and for sure malifa fish. Arak was a must to drink.

Amazing seafood experience, especially in the summer when you're seated near the beach, highly recommended!

Fresh seafood restaurant! The service was very good and the staff are very friendly 👍🏻Good quality of fresh fish and seafood 🦞

very tasty food The fish is fresh, the raw fish is excellent The place is calm and beautiful Friendly staff The prices are a little high, but this is normal compared to the level of service and the quality of the food

It’s a cozy place and all the team is friendly. The seafood is a bit overpriced compared to other seafood high end restaurants. Service a bit slow. Before we arrived they told us that they accept credit card with 30% extra charge and we agreed. When settling the bill they said credit cards not accepted, after claiming, they said 35% extra noting that before 2 hours from our arrival they said 30%. I was willing to come frequently to this place but unfortunately I will no more visit it due to this behavior.

We tried this restaurant based on recommendation from the hotel reception. The overall experience did not fail; we were welcomed by the staff, the chef made an appearance to say hello, beautiful sea view. We loved every single dish, La Plancha, kalamrakia, and many others. Fresh and local ingredients, zaatar, vegetables and olive oil. The food not too oily and cooked perfectly at the right temperature. The taste and especially sauces is exquisite and unique, really refresh your tastebuds. Attentive and quick service, friendly staff (nothing is too much for them). I truly recommend this place for an afternoon dining experience.
