After trying to find a restaurant that served beer we were elated to find this place, the Lonely Planet got the descriptions round the wrong way with the Lighthouse Residency. They only serve beer upstairs though so if it's busy you have to wait which is ridiculous with all the seating downstairs. Not like smoke is it. Anyway the food... More

We visited this Restaurant after seeing the rating in tripadvisor. It was so disappointing. First of all, seating arrangement is inadequate. then, bar is in the upstairs and that too, only beer is served. It is highly understaffed and the people taking orders do not have time to listen to what you are ordering. Items served are mostly half cooked.... More

Why would Indian travelers have to grapple with biases against foreign travelers. Places that still subscribe to the thought that they should offer seats first to foreigners, not talk properly to Indians, are really going to be doomed one day!! Being in the travel industry, I can vouch that the Indians are going to bring business in the future and... More

nice set-up, decent food but nothing good enough to write home about, and better service when it's slow. there only appeared to be one waiter for the entire restaurant, so if you go, get there early. More

Ordered food was waiting for some time while the waiter who took our orders was busy chatting away, Waived him down was signaled by his hand to wait for some more time (This is when -... More

You can chose from varieties of tiger prawn, crab , lobster etc and some of them may be live as well. You may order and ask the waiter to cook according to your taste. This is the good part. However, the seating arrangement is like a road side dhaba and full of flies. The place is not very clean. Prefer... More

We were three gone for lunch and we planned to go to Viper island by ferries which leave from nearby jetty. Hotel personnel had made us wait 15 min to take the order, and further 1hr to bring it. Every one there was annoyed, it is a quite small restaurant and this much delay is not acceptable with poor response... More
