The food was very oily and the waiters were trying too hard to please us. We ventured into this restaurant as it was just near our hotel but we were disappointed after seeing the food.

Having visited Candolim several times consider this venue to be a safe place to drink late into the night with many british people going year on year. Would recommend. Do toasted sandwiches late on as well which always goes down well when you have had a skin full!

Although we never ate here, it is a fantastic place for drinks. The staff are really friendly and the customers in there chat together and mix well. Music was good and overall a great ambiance. Will be back next year.
