Amazing views of an incredible black sand beach with huge waves and some surfers doing their thing. Can even go for a stroll while you wait for your food and rinse your feet afterwards. Great beer options. Food was incredible and flavorful. Ambiance and flavors worth every penny. Service very kind and welcoming as well. Do not miss this place! One of the best restaurants we went to during our trip to Tahiti! The customer service was amazing, and the views of the beach and ocean waves were just phenomenal. The food was delicious, and the cocktails made by Ioane were so refreshing and perfectly balanced. Teuira, Moana, Herenui, and Ioane were all professional, efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable. They’re such great assets to this place. 5 out of 5 stars for Teuira, Moana, Herenui & Ioane! Māuruuru! Beautiful setting, friendly service and great vegetarian options and cocktails! We had the pink bowl, and a warm Camembert tapas. Vegan options are marked on menu clearly, We will be back soon to try other dishes!!

Very nice place. Cool decorations and style. Chill, eclectic, beach, island and French. There are tables up against the sea wall overlooking the ocean. Sad we arrived a little late for sunset as it should be phenomenal from this location. The crowd felt mostly French. Young and old alike. They did not have English menus. French only and a very small font which made it more difficult. Fortunately, our Polynesian server spoke good English and was extremely helpful. There are a couple black labs that lay about the indoor/outdoor restaurant. There was a live band but they started a bit late so we only heard a few songs. The food was good. We ordered Tuna Tartar, shrimp linguine, and a topless burger. Not really sure why they call it topless. It has a top and bottom bun but the bun is off and standing on its side. The burger is a sliced good steak, not ground. The linguine and shrimp had good flavor and 8-10 medium to large shrimp. The Tuna Tartar had amazing presentation. On the pesto flavors side with sprinkled olive bits around the plate and a dash of pine nuts on top. A nice flavor touch. After a week of sailing we thought at first not to drink but I ordered a Maitai last minute and wow. The best drink we have had in two weeks of Tahiti. It had alcohol in it. It looked good and tasted great. My wife had to order one after tasting mine. So much for the not drinking tonight. If you are close to this place and looking for dinner it’s a great choice.
