About
A newer beachfront restaurant near the Drake Bay school, open daily from 1 to 8 PM, with sunset views that reviewers can't stop mentioning. The kitchen has real highs: one couple called their fish fillet with garlic sauce, mashed potatoes, and vegetables among the best of their lives, and the rice with shrimp gets praise too. Staff are consistently described as friendly and happy to adjust dishes to your preferences. Fair warning from recent visitors: the place is still working out growing pains — a small team can get overwhelmed when several tables arrive at once, and a couple of reviews mention slow or uneven service. It's a bit of a climb up, but the view rewards it.

This restaurant has not long been open and has some apparent teething problems. There are no drinks menus available at all and therefore no prices. The food was tasty although some items come out cold and that was the same for another table there at the same time that sent back a few items. This was because they seem apparently understaffed and with several tables turning up at the same time, the single waiter and the two kitchen staff were not able to cope. The restaurant is right on the beach front with great sunset views and the staff were very friendly. I think with a little more time they can iron out the service problems then it’ll be a fantastic restaurant.
Rice with shrimp was tasty and can't beat the view
Service was very bad. They were out of rice? Shrimp pasta tasted like it was from a microwave. Drinks bad
