About

Lovely restaurant with extraordinary panoramic beach and ocean views. Nice menu with good service — the seafood platter for two has enough for a third person with lobster, octopus, squid, and shrimp.

    It is a lovely restaurant with an extraordinary panoramic view. The setting is truly beautiful and very enjoyable. Occasionally, vendors pass by, which can be a slight distraction, but it does not significantly impact the overall experience. Regarding the food, I ordered the octopus, which was well cooked and flavorful. However, the vegetables were quite basic and did not really stand out, while the fries were acceptable.

    It’s hard to get decent food in Kenya but this place was one of the better ones, so far. We had the prawn and cream pasta. Nice taste and good portion. She had the poke bowl with tuna. Also good. Desert we went for the banana split. Also good. So, a nice munch meal in the sun looking at the beach.

    Nice menu and good service. Beautiful view of the beach and the ocean. I recommend the seafood platter for two, and there's enough for a third person to enjoy it. There's lobster, octopus, squid, shrimp, tuna, and other fish.

    Great location, the food is excellent but very expensive. Local beers are 500 ksh and not nearly cold enough. Overall 3 stars as the value/price is nowhere near as good as nearby restaurants.

    The view was stunning ,nothing beats dining right by the ocean. I ordered the steak and fries, and it was simply amazing! The steak was juicy and well-seasoned, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The service was great too ☺️friendly and prompt. Perfect spot for a relaxing meal by the sea. Highly recommend!
