"Beautiful place to dine. I had the curry and it was delicious. Wife had the pork belly and it was moist and tender. Sitting on the beach was a wonderful experience. I was originally concerned with how chairs and tables would work on the sand but it turned out to not be a problem. At sunset crabs populated the beach and were a delight to watch scurrying about.

"Fabulous dinner and beautiful beach views. We went here for our last night on Raro and couldn't have made a better choice. Beautiful sunset views and the grilled parrotfish was the best meal of the holiday. Chicken curry was also outstanding, as well as the key lime pie and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Highly recommended for a perfect island night out."
