    This is a little place next on the beach with delicious fresh fish and seafood at a very reasonable price. I got the grilled seer fish and it was fresh and flavorful, the salad had a great taste. Fresh fruit juices are also delicious. The service was very friendly and this is a great place to spend the day at the beach.

    I cannot recommend ordering the seafood platter. Is is 4 times the price at anything else (4000), but still only enough food for one person (even though the servent said otherwise). When we asked them about it, the owner answered: "it isn't my problem". The food is alright, but slightly overcooked. There are plenty of places nearby with more fair prices and better service.

    Great location, right on the beach. Awesome selection of fresh seafood and many others. You can pick your own fish and they grill it for you. We had one of the fish from the fresh catch of the day grilled with garlic butter. It was extremely delicious and well cooked. Before we had fish and chips and battered prawns, both were great, light and crispy. Their iced tea and iced coffee were the best during our 2 weeks here. Atmosphere is really chill and laid back, service is really nice but a bit slow, absolutely worth the wait. Definitely a place to recommend.

    We went to this place because of good reviews and now I can surely say they are true! We had a seafood platter, which was just amazing - the right amount of spices, the right size of the portion for 2 people. The service was also good. Don't miss this place!

    Nice chill beach side spot. The battered fried prawns were fantastic. Good fries too, tasted like McDonald's. Waitress brought me some lime and sriracha too to spice it up. Good shyt.

    Service was incredibly slow, average price considering the fresh seafood and on-beach dining. Difficult to listen to the constant competition of the music from this restaurant and the one next door through adjacent speakers. Delicious muxed seafood platter and cocktails

    Food is good and portions are big enough. The service is a bit slow, but is acceptable considering that you are on the beach and all dishes are prepared fresh.

    Probably the best grilled fish I have ever eaten in my life. Large grilled mullet which was tender and fell perfectly from the bone. Amazing setting, we sat right on the beach just in front of the waves and service was incredible. Highly recommended and reasonably priced.
