I loved it. Really enjoyed whole 8 hours of our dinner. Dont book through zomato or any other app. Just keep calling on contact number and get your seats. Only got seats because we reached by 5.30pm Dont prefer salads. It was so plain. Sunset watching , live music, pudding, cocktails(strong) all good Live fire dance Free walk on beach Small huts with fan. Inside dance floor for a weekend chill out with live music Ample parking space. Quick service. This is an amazing place for cocktails and really tasty food. Have the paprika cheesy chicken and butter garlic prawns and the mussels rava fry. Too good. They also customise cocktails on request which was very nice. The Southern Deck is an amazing beach-front destination that truly stands out for its delightful ambiance and great food. The location right on the beach offers beautiful, calming views and a relaxing vibe that makes it perfect for unwinding. The food served is delicious, with fresh and flavorful options that satisfy the palate. The overall atmosphere combines good vibes with comfortable seating, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a meal or spend quality time with friends and family. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful beach-side dining experience.

The Southern Deck restaurant was one of the destination which was on our bucket list. On two times we were not able to secure a table for us for having a dinner at the restaurant. This time we were in South Goa and we thought to visit the restaurant for having our lunch. Fearful of our previous experience I had booked a table through District app. We reached the restaurant at around 1.45 pm and were able to find a table. At that time, even on a Sunday afternoon, there were couple of tables which were available. We settled for a table overlooking the beach. We were quite full after devouring buffet breakfast and opted for limited meal. We ordered for Pan grilled Snapper Steak and 5 Spice Chicken along with Sweet lime Sodas. The dishes were nice particularly we liked the Steak while the 5 Spice Chicken was ok. The restaurant is next to the beach and offers good view of the Arabian sea. They serve pork and beef. They have a AC dinning area, though, according to me such beach side restaurants are best enjoyed when dinning in open section. They have a Bar and also have choices for Hookah. One of the highlights for us was a highly energetic and engaging lead singer of the restaurant. One can choose to dine during lunch or dinner which have their own merits, however, I strongly recommend to book the table in advance if you intend to visit the restaurant for dinner. Do share your like if you found the review useful.
