Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Come for the fish, and with a big appetite! This traditional seafood restaurant in Rawai thrives on family recipes, and the Phuket lobster is a real insider tip – so sweet it hardly needs any seasoning. The rest of the menu leaves nothing to be desired: dishes are prepared with perfect balance, quite unlike the cloyingly sweet chili specialties often found in tourist spots on the west coast. Many guests return the very next evening to try even more.

Most of the seating is outdoors, right by the water, with views of the pier and the sea. Pleasant lighting, soft jazz music in the background, and a sufficiently large space where even larger groups can sit undisturbed. It's equally suitable for two people, though. Prices are mid-range, which is reasonable for such fresh seafood. However, you should skip the cocktails. While they are served in a photogenic glass, that's about the only positive thing one can say about them.
