About

Literally 10 steps to the ocean with awesome views, fresh cocktails, and tasty seafood that gets better every year. Attentive staff go out of their way — they'll even order beef from Malindi if you ask. Prices are good for locals too, and the great vibes keep guests coming back for three years running.
