Seafood, Sunshine & Sips: A Perfect Spot for Lunch or Dinner If you're looking for an amazing spot to settle in for lunch or dinner, this place hits all the right notes—especially if you're a seafood lover. With a menu packed full of fresh, flavorful seafood options (plus a few well-done meat dishes, salads, snacks, and desserts), there's something for every craving. We went all in with the Seafood Platter for Two—and wow, it did not disappoint. Massive, beautifully presented, and cooked just right. Every bite was a little piece of oceanic heaven. Not in the mood for food right away? No problem. Grab a drink and soak in the vacation vibes. Their cocktail list is creative and full of fun twists, but for people like me, nothing beats an ice-cold Lion beer. Simple, classic, and just perfect with the salty sea breeze. Service? Fast, efficient, and no-fuss. Just how I like it. And the real star of the show? The view. Whether you're watching waves roll in or people enjoying their day, the whole experience is a blend of good food, great drinks, and that unbeatable coastal atmosphere. Pro tip: Come hungry, stay for the vibes.
On recommendation of our hotel, we went there for a dinner. The front of the place is quite small however inside they have a large open seating. They had live music. The food was ok service was good. Prices of food were also ok.
If you love seafood, you should definitely try this place! It has a nice atmosphere, lots of seafood choices, and a solid selection of drinks. It's not a 5-star gourmet menu, but the food is definitely worth the price. The staff were very friendly, even to locals, and they made our seafood platter the way we requested. The best part was the setting—listening to live music with Sri Lankan, Bollywood and English songs, while watching the waves or the night sky. A really special and relaxing place by the sea!
This place is a favorite among both locals and tourists who love seafood. They have a variety of menus to choose from. Seafood is their specialty, but rice and curries are also available. The food is served hot and fresh. Waiting times can be a bit long, but it's worth it. The highlight is their big seafood basket, which is perfect for 4-5 people. Keep in mind that the atmosphere is lively and quite noisy due to music and the crowd. If you prefer a quiet dining experience, this may not be the best choice.
The food was great, I really recommend it for sure I will be back ! Took a while to come, but it was good the service was ok. It was live music I really like it ! See you next time
It’s a calm location alongside the beach with live music and cool atmosphere. Food menu has different varieties including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Size of the portion which we order serves enough for an average person. Prices are reasonable and worth. Had a friendly customer service experience. Only problem we found there was unavailability of vehicle parking. Overall it’s a good place to have a night vibe.
Nice place with a view on the beach. Staff is kind and knows when you need their service. They have cocktails for a good price. It's a shame that they are served in a cardboard cup. Try the vegetable tempura. It's a generous portion for a snack.
