We had an excellent experience here! Krishna and Daison suggested all the dishes we tried, and every one of them was amazing. Our dinner experience in Goa was truly memorable. A must, must, must-visit place in Goa! We tried the crab Goan-style, lobster, and jumbo prawns — all were absolutely delicious. We’ll always remember the food, the great suggestions from Krishna, and the wonderful atmosphere. Totally worth going. This was such a pleasant experience. The staff is extremely cordial. Food is just amazing. The ambiance is just soothing. Spent like 3 hours here, was totally worth it. Definitely gave OG vibes. Loved it. Must go. Mr. Jason was so friendly and understanding, such a humble man. And just a 2 min drive from Cavelossim Beach. Pretty place. Too good atmosphere. Food was average. Service was good. Couldnt try much . Didnt get good suggestions as well . Anyways good for a peaceful dinner watching fisherman boats and live music in background. 160 for lime juice.we can say its bit expensive. But worth the time. Good parking area. Washrooms were clean

We’ve just arrived in South Goa and were delighted to find this stylish restaurant just a short 5-minute walk from our hotel. We were seated on the verandah with a beautiful view of the fishing boats in the nearby harbour—such a relaxing spot to enjoy dinner. The menu offered a wide variety of options, and we were impressed by the fresh catch-of-the-day platter, which included red snapper, sea bass, lobsters, and crabs. To start, we shared: • Fried Wok Tossed Broccoli – tender and full of flavour with a lovely garlic kick. • Baked Brie with Mango Murabba – a creative and tasty combination, though the brie could’ve used a bit more time in the oven. For our main, we had a whole seabass in lemon butter, which was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and very tasty. Service was excellent—friendly and attentive throughout. The only downsides were that the chips could’ve been hotter, and the live band, while talented, was far too loud for the otherwise tranquil setting. Overall, a very good experience with just a couple of small things that kept it from being perfect. Would definitely recommend and we will be going back.

We recently visited this place, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! The ambience is absolutely stunning — warm, elegant, and perfectly balanced between comfort and style. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the welcoming vibe, soothing lighting, and the tasteful décor that instantly sets the mood for a relaxing dining experience. Whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or even for a quiet evening, this place offers the perfect atmosphere to unwind and enjoy great food. A special mention goes to Vipin, who made our visit extra special. He was extremely courteous, attentive, and professional throughout our time there. What really stood out was his knowledge of the menu — he gave us some excellent recommendations that turned out to be absolutely delicious! His service was prompt, friendly, and genuinely made us feel valued as guests. It’s rare to come across staff who not only serve but also ensure you have a memorable experience, and Vipin did exactly that. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection and served at just the right temperature. The balance of taste, portion size, and presentation reflected the chef’s attention to detail. Overall, this place deserves full marks for its ambience, hospitality, and food quality. It’s clear that the management has put a lot of effort into maintaining high standards in every aspect. We left with happy hearts and satisfied taste buds. If you’re around the area, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Whether you’re looking for great food, amazing service, or just a beautiful place to relax, this restaurant ticks all the boxes. Can’t wait to visit again soon!
