Excellent meal in nice location served by smiling friendly staff. On arrival we were offered the choice of indoors or outdoor. We choose indoors due to the wind. Our orders were taken promptly and all of our interactions with the staff were warm and friendly. I had the beef Wellington which was excellent and my wife had fish and chips. For dessert we had the key lime pies and ice cream which was yummy. Our bill was not overly expensive particularly for the quality of food and service we received.

Absolute island perfection. Make sure you make a reservation for the best experience. We were greeted with big smiles and shown to our table on the beachfront, which was absolutely gorgeous. We were the first people to arrive, and by the time we left, there was not a free table in sight. The service is impeccable. We were checked on multiple times, and our drinks were continuously topped up. Highly recommend their cocktails, pack a great hit, and are super tasty. Can't go wrong with a classic Pina colada. The food my oh my, world class so delicious! We didn't order any entrees and went straight for the mains. Highly recommend the below three, but our highlight was the beef wellington cooked to perfection so delicious so beautiful. The meat was like butter under the knife. I will be returning just for that! Pork Belly was delicious and the curry outstanding. - Beef Wellington 11/10 - Pork Belly 10/10 - Seafood Curry 11/10 The experience was top notch, you need to put this as a must eat on your list! And again, make sure you reserve. Meitaki Ma'ata.

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.

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. Definitely coming back.
