Food was okay. View is not very good. As you see all the trash at sea. Nice atmosphere and nice staff.

I absolutely loved my meals here- even went back three times! Food was clean, tasty and staff were delightful. Nice big servings at reasonable prices. The view is great too. I would definitely recommend the massaman curry and the pad Thai with jumbo sized prawns.

So we were here for a family dinner and the service and food and attitude were all pathetic.

Chicken Satay were cold as if they had been pulled out of the fridge. Thrice I waived at a waiter and he just walked on. In fact the lady who looked like the owner or manager was either too dumb or too arrogant. I couldn’t decide in my 1.5 hours of waste of time at this place.

Go on your own peril.

Nice view overlooking the beach. Nice presentation of food.
But the food itself is average, too spicy for a westerner (they should maybe ask your preferences). The food is overpriced.
Also at the time of our visit, the restaurant was popular with big groups of chinese tourists, so forget the quiet dinner.
Definitely not a good value.
