We decided to dine here since our cruise ship doesn’t depart until much later. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The prices are well within reason. We ordered the fish ‘ceviche’ in coconut milk and a couple of steaks. Oh and local beers. Soon after we arrived, a live band started playing local music. My wife and I really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. Great place for a quick beer, friendly service, food is very good since they changed cooks a few months ago. Tha location is primo. Burger is actually pretty tasty, ordered medium-rare, best burger around these parts. Sashimi and Tartare duo is Fresh Fresh Fresh. Good choice for Dowtown PPT. Walked by this place and figured I would give it a try. Amazing staff, delicious food, and relaxing environment. I tried the swordfish (never had it before) and it was delicious, very flavorful, and filling. I also had their crab cake and dessert sampler. I definitely recommend this place and will be back.

Got the breakfast set menu with Tahitian raw fish. Fish was a good texture and I loved the cucumber and tomatoes with it!

Beautiful restaurant, very pleasant service, provided everything we asked for. We had sashimi, tuna tartare, seared tuna, beef steak and everything was delicious. Sashimi with oyster/mustard sauce was just incredible, great piece of fresh tuna. One of few restaurants open on Sunday in Papeete.
