How is La Playa, Bar & Restaurant rated?

Returned to this place for dinner with a friend last night and it was still very good. We tried to book a week ago for dinner on Saturday today but it has already been fully booked. So we tried Friday and got the last table...for the evening (as we were informed). For your info, we didn't book on our previous visit and we were made to wait for almost 1.5 hours! - So, advance booking is highly recommended. There were tables on different levels with some just at the side overlooking the beach. These were the most sought after tables but do prepare to be affected if it rains, with the strong wind from the sea. - Suggest to include the table location during your booking. Once we have arrived yesterday we were guided to our table by a friendly European lady, Max (hope I have spelled the name correctly). We were then served by another friendly and helpful local girl, Peckie. - In general, we found that all the serving staff there were very friendly, and their actions to fulfill one's requests were always almost immediate. With the help of Peckie our ordering was smooth. We then went to the beach located just in front for a walk & taking pictures. It was a beautiful place. - Recommended to go there earlier to enjoy the beautiful sunset before starting dinner. We ordered a bowl of salad, mushroom soup, grilled lamb cutlet and striploin steak. Drinks were Virgin Mojito and Fruit Punch which were very good. The salad was very fresh with just enough amount of sauce. The main courses were done to perfection. Except the soup which we think was quite ordinary. - Overall, the foods were very delicious. Thumbs up to the kitchen team. Our dessert were ice cream on chocolate brownie. We found that it was too sweet for us. Maybe the brownie could be less sweet, or the ice-cream could be replaced with less-sugar, or just sugar-less ice-cream. - But I think most would like it sweet though 😁 Ambience wise, it was really a perfect venue for an evening out. Even though there is a band playing on Saturdays but the music on the other days was very good too. We enjoyed the music last night very much. All in, two of us only spent around RM200 for the enjoyable evening. Highly recommended.More

Best Family Restaurant with Sunset View in Port Dickson.

Food and ambiance were top notch. Waiters were so friendly and the music on weekends are definitely a huge plus especially in Port Dickson. They are a family owned business and the warmth as you step into the restaurant is very chill, and relaxed. Recommend...to get: 1 . Mutton Fried Rice 2 . Mutton Curry Pizza 3 . Carbonara (All good) 4 . Mojitos 5 . Giant Frozen Margaritas ( will make you feel like you’re in Cabo.) Please make a booking on weekends or public holidays and not expect to have priority on the waitlist, this isn’t a hotel restaurant or gourmet restaurant , it is a family owned, beach town small business. People complaining, clearly feel very entitled and that is really not what this restaurant is all about. Will be back with the family again, no doubt.More

Foods are poor quality, the only good thing is the view

The food is below quality with poor presentation and yet they charged at high end prices. The only good thing is you get to enjoy the sunset view.

Ok

This place is ok. Very close to beach, although the water is far from inviting. Beer is cold and fairly priced (for Malaysia). Food is mediocre but at least we didn't get sick. A couple of the terrace tables are very close to extremely disgusting...and smelly toilets. Be careful where you sitMore

Exceeded Expectations!

Never knew such a lovely restaurant existed in PD. Great ambiance, yummy food, not your regular pub food but wholesome delish food. We went along with what was recommended by the friendly supervisor - no regrets at all. Reasonable prices too. Only regret was we...were too late to catch the much raved-about sun set. We will be back for that and more!More

Nice dining by the beach

We visited this place on Friday at 8pm. The car park was already full and most tables were already booked. Luckily the table is still available as it was just the 2 of us. I noticed there's more and more people around 9pm. So come...early to avoid frustration or book the table if plan to come late. The food is okay with reasonable prize. Nice dining by the beach. What we ordered:- Seafood Aglio : RM28 Fish & Chips : RM28 Striploin Steak : RM40 Onion Rings : RM13 Fruit Punch : RM13 Watermelon Juice : RM13 The place open from 5pm to 12am so do come early if you want to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The place was a bit crowded and noisy but we don't mind to come back again soon.More

Restaurant and bar off PD street, a sure check out when touring PD. Good food and drinks and above all the service. Best time around 6-7pm for the sunset views.

Great view of sunset but maybe just have drinks

Great place to absorb the majestic view of sunset. I would give that a 5 stars. However, for the food, I would rate 1. It was over priced for a few little pieces of beef. Ordered another mug of beer before the meal, it never...came. Hopefully it was just one of those days...More

Good & Not So Good

Charming old bungalow housing a restaurant bar. Service was affable. Music was great as they played retro hits. Setting gorgeous. We were 2 pax. Me and my 14 year old. About half the menu was not available. Not a big deal coz of the pandemic....The food was very average. My boy had a fried rice and it mainly tasted of soy sauce and not much else. I had the lamb shoulder which was also average. But chef was very obliging in customising a salad for us. This was very refreshing! So thank you for that. For me, experience it once for the ambience but not the food.More

Sunsets and cold drinks

The service was friendly and unobtrusive. The food was decent and very good value. Don't come expecting molecular gastronomy but it's what is pub food. Seriously though you'd come for the sunsets. Be there around 630pm. Enjoy a drink and marvel at God's creation and...thank the stars you're alive.More

Overrated food but decent for drinks & atmosphere

This place is literally one of the only place decent enough to have evening drinks. The atmosphere is breezy as it resides right on the beach. The food is overrated and subpar with croackroaches lurking around and a number of patrons have made noise about...this which to my amazement a staff replies back that it comes from the beach and is normal. I've been to many beach restaurants and I've never encountered such. Drinks for sure but food not suggested!More
