    Great spot right on the beach with friendly staff. Tasty reasonably priced food and drinks and stunning views. We were able to rent sun loungers (shaded or unshaded) for 200 KSH each for the day as we ate lunch there, 300 each without food. Very few people hassled us and the staff would keep an eye on our stuff when we swam. Highly recommend!!

    I had a lobster with side(grilled veggies) here for 2000. It’s more than what previous reviews mentioned. I think it’s peak season price now. But Dishes are great, the vibe is good! Staff are very helpful n friendly(they lent a long sleeve to me). The portion is not that much for a men but fair for me. Wonderful experience :)

    Probably the most chilled place we have been to in watamu. Didn’t have some items on the menu and the feel is very very laid back. There are several restaurants adjacent to each other and various water activities. There’s also an island- a boat ride away, where one can swim and take pictures etc. There are sun beds to chill on after the meal. Very relaxed service so don’t have high expectations. Grilled chicken is synonymous with fried chicken for example. Worth a visit though.

    Had sea food when there. The chef is top notch to be honest. What we got exceeded our expectations. Wonderful restaurant by the beach and excellent service. Will definitely head back when around.
