What can I say about this place apart from wow! The setting is stunning right from the start when you get your golf buggy all the way down to the restaurant. We stopped at the pool bar as we were a bit early. My wife and I had a cocktail each and just soaked up the surroundings, then it was off an a golf buggy again down the hill to the banks of the river. We were shown to our private cocoon and are breath was taken away. What an amazing setting for dinner!
We chose the gourmet degustation menu and were not disappointed. There were 4 amuse bouche before the first course and everything from start to finish was faultless. The choc cherry fondant cake was easily the best I've ever had. Staff were corteous and were always making sure everything was okay. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's at the top end price wise. But every dollar spent is worth it.

What a beautiful setting... highly recommended for a romantic night out. The degustation was of a high standard as was the service. Expensive by Bali standards but worth it if you want to treat yourself.

My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon in Bali and included Kubu. By far the best dinner we had in Bali, which included an impressive list of restaurants around the island. Thank you Arya for the amazing service!

The place: Amazing! It was a little dark when we cam here for dinner so we came back a second time just so we could see the venue. Was not disappointed. The place looks amazing.

At the restaurant, We sat in a cocoon like thing right beside / overlooking the river. The ambiance was incredible.

The Staff: Probably the most courteous f&b staff we've come across in a while. The lady who served us - Komang, was one of the most professional, courteous people we've met over our visit. That's saying a lot considering most, if not all Balinese hospitality staff we came across were really friendly and courteous.

The food: Again - AMAZING! We opted for the a la carte menu however by the end of it we wondered if they had given us the detestation menu by mistake. There was so much food, and every morsel of it was delicious.

We went her for my wife's birthday, so when we were ready for dessert the staff surprised us by bringing a special "birthday dessert" and singing happy birthday. A really nice touch to end dinner with.

Will definitely go back!
