Staying at the Sunset made this a very easy restaurant to visit. We enjoyed all our meals and the different 'special' nights that they put on - BBQ, Pub, Seafood. The staff were excellent with Sunny and his mum always entertaining.

We ate here for an early lunch before our flight out of Raro. The rest of the restaurant was empty, but the waitress was lovely and quick and had no problem serving us early. We ordered calamari and chips which was nice and came with a large serving of coleslaw, but was only 6 pieces of calamari - which wasnt... More

We have eaten at the Anchorage Restaurant many times over the last 4 years while visiting Rarotonga. Each and every time we have enjoyed the dining experience. The staff are genuinely friendly and the food is delicious.

Twice in the past year I have enjoyed going to this venue for a Sunday catchup with a friend. The staff are all friendly, the service is good and the menu suits our idea of a lazy Sunday coffee and light lunch. Parking is usually available immediately outside the restaurant. We love the landscaping and the relaxed ambience of this... More

We tried the food one evening when it was the barbeque buffet. The poor person doing the barbeque was set up in a position where he had no light to see what he was doing, he was literaly in the dark. Not surprising the food was bad. The only good part of the buffet were the really great deserts!

Food was quite good, particularly the raw fish dish. Cost was OK. There were slightly cheaper, better places nearby. Ambience was a little 'sterile'. " Almost seemed like having dinner in the bathroom" Staff a bit disinterested we felt. Spelling on specials "chalk board" barely standard one level. Salt and pepper were "airline sachets" I mean - come on! Not... More
