About

The beachfront location means you're eating with your toes in the sand and waves as soundtrack. Seafood is fresh and simply prepared, which is all it needs to be. Prices are fair, and the sunset views are free. Go for lunch or sundowners, skip dinner unless you're already there.

    The place has fresh meals. I loved the tamarind juice, orange juice, chips and the sandwiches. The spaghetti bologna was tasty and well done. The down side was the slow service and the missed orders.

    Probably the best burger in town. The mince is ground freshly since they have their own butchery. Lots of flies though.

    The food was excellent and very affordable. The staff members were extremely friendly. I enjoyed the sea breeze and ambience of the place in general
