I had a salad nicoise and the chickpea hummus; the hummus was delicious. There are very nice views from the rooftop and the waitress was very kind. Note, they charge a 5% service fee and it goes to the restaurant not to the waitress. The worst seafood restaurant experience in my entire life! I came here reading all these good review and literally this restaurant is a nightmare. I ordered crab soup and seafood platter, the most expensive plate on the menu, and drinks. Foods came out after 40 mins and it’s COLD and STALE. It’s left over from the day before. I can taste the staleness of the seafoods and decided to leave most uneaten. Its a crime to serve this. I almost felt disrespected that ppl can serve that to me. I left it uneaten after trying to swallow a few. Paid in full. Never go back. Do yourself a favor! DO NOT EAT HERE. And shame on you people who give this place 4-5 stars… its misleading to us all. Lovely last dinner in Stonetown. It was my parents birthdays and they made a special dessert on request to celebrate and it was perfect. The food is also very nicely seasoned!

We had the famous coconut crab soup, it's delicious! The restaurant has a beautiful view and the waiters are very professional. The restaurant is located on the rooftop of a nice hotel, you can get there by a lift.

Beautiful atmosphere and good (albeit a bit slow) service. The starters—seafood salad and coconut and crab soup were excellent—but were let down by the blasé grilled fish and prawn biryani. The mains were boring and not very tasty.
