The restaurants all serve essentially the same menu with one basic dining format: fire-grilled seafood (your choice of various fish, crab, squid, shrimp, lobster, and shellfish); a local vegetable known loosely as water spinach,
steamed with garlic; rice; and local sauces. You can go up to the seafood tanks near the kitchen and choose the number and type of seafood you want, paying by weight, or just order from the menu and they will serve up a standard amount.
Prices are reasonable. Dinner for two, with local Bintang beer or soft drinks, costs in the range of Rp 120,000 - 250,000 depending on quantity and type of seafood selected. The crab and red snapper are especially good. The combination of
atmosphere and good food make this a memorable and delightful place to spend an evening. Popular with both locals and visitors, it can get very busy at mealtimes! Hotel & Villa Guide
