House dry white wine was not great. Food was overpriced and pretty awful. Dance music. Turns out this is the floating bar and the floating restaurant is to the left - supposedly better food and quieter. Too bad. Fun to be on a floating anything though! Great views.

A very special place to take your dinner while watching the sunset from the sea. We were there on a Wednesday and were surprisingly the only guests. The service was warm and we enjoyed the time at the Floatingbar. Also the food was delicious - everyone of us was totally happy with their selection. Definitely a place to visit again. As far as I know there also happens amazing nights with music and dance. Keep up the work full of passion for what you do!

I enjoyed the floating back and forth experience as we waited for the food to be served. The shifting is quite peaceful and not as noticable even with low and high tide movements. They maintain a clean restaurant environment, very kid-friendly atmosphere and I hear there's a great night scene as well. We ate goat, white snapper, and broiler chicken meals and some fish samosas for that extra coastal palate. I liked that the food was not over salty or undercooked. There was a hint of lemon pepper, marinated very well with some umami flavors. Plus the meal stayed hot throughout the eating. Access to the restaurant is available via boat, dhow, or speedboat.

The idea of a floating bar is kinda cool, the food (samosas and fries were well done) but the drinks were rather sub-standard especially the cocktails. Also the music was poor and the lighting is also not good.
