I agree with Regular, the service does need some attention but where else can you go and feel so much a part of the family. Unfortunately "Regular Too" should maybe focus on having a good evening which the beach house certainly provides, especially after being here 3yrs, why torment yourself by frequenting a restaurant where you are ever so critical. I have met the owner and trust me my comments are unbiased. The owner is relaxed but demands professionalism from he's staff, from manger/manageress to waiters. I seriously doubt if the manageress has been drunk that she would be capable of doing the exceptional job she does and to be daft enough to loudly admit she is drunk when each night the owner is at he's restaurant. The beach house has gone through many changes including management and I'm certain many many regulars and visitors will agree the beach house has found the right combination from The chef to waiters and management. Well done everyone at the beach house.

I just had to add Dominique that obviously whenever you decide to venture to the beach house the owner is there. He has not been there on a good few occassions where he obviously has trust in his staff to make things happen in his absense. However, the manageress has on plenty of occassions been drinking on duty. Infact, one once even sat at our table in late December last year and drank wine out of a coffee cup to hide it laughing and thinking it was a big joke.

The place is a dump. The food is awful and over priced. Their cocktails are akin to swap water. You can single out a couple of waiters only for good service. You can see the owners and managers busy getting drunk most of the time. A little bit of apartheid-ish mood. The only plus point is the view.

What is wrong with "The Critique"? This is a restaurant review. APARTHEID? Which century do you live in? It must live in your head.What does "Apartheid-ish" mood mean? Please explain. Keep your comments to the food, value, watered down coctails, or whatever else goes with restaurant re-views. Wish I could meet you. BUT, with the place being as awful as you say, you would probably never go there again? The place "pumps" and is always good enough for me to go again, and again, and again.....

Mon avis reste favorable malgré les améliorations flagrantes qu'il devrait y avoir dans cet établissement. A préciser qu'il règne une ambiance de fête - peu importe l'heure a laquelle vous arrivez que ce soit pour un repas ou pour le pub. Une critique importante serait que le personnel est avare de chaleur (surtout avec les non-habitués) mais ils restent polis jusqu'au bout - heureusement ! Une fois attablée, le service manque de suivi - un peu a la fonctionnaire - ils prennent la commande, ils vous servent les boissons et c'est fini jusqu'au moment de servir les plats. Pour tout autre service, vous devez appeler - ce n'est pas agréable dutout. Il arrive aussi que la direction choque par son management 'coup de poing' et criarde, toutefois, en tournant la tête, le cadre et la vue sont magnifiques, la deco est contemporaine mais certes, mal entretenue - les meubles / les WC / les tables / les chaises sont assez dégradés cependant les couverts sont 'clean', les cocktails sont tous enivrants et la musique est de bon goût. Au final, l'addition se fait attendre - un peu comme une surprise du chef - elle est parfois un peu salée. Si l'envie vous prend d'aller tout régler directement au bar, il arrive qu'on sente bien les vapeurs d'alcool provenant de ses interlocuteurs (clients ou employés) - c'est un bar après-tout et vu la cadence des horaires, c'est normal qu'ils fassent eux-même 'happy hour' plusieurs fois dans la journée ! lol ;) Pour conclure, je dirais que ce restaurant a quasiment tous les ingrédients pour plaire mais il ne tient pas compte des détails qui pourraient fidéliser et enthousiasmer la clientèle en générale - c'est dommage... Malgré le choc de culture, j'y ai passé de bons moments entre amis et collègues. La cuisine est appréciable car les plats sont bien préparés (surtout quand le cuistot n'abuse pas des 'happy-hours') et mention spéciale car la viande utilisée est de très bonne qualité. Bonne continuation mais prenez en compte la critique, surtout si elle permet d'améliorer son chiffre d'affaire !

I think the Beach House has an unbelievable atmosphere, with great food and very friendly staff! The owner, Cabous has an excellent recipe there and is just getting it right and the Beach House is going from strength to strength...he keeps things happening there all the time...having functions, the new cocktail bar, great food specials! The vodka fillet, espatada's, burgers etc are divine and worth every rupee! Well done Cabous and the Beach House staff! Totally worth going to the Beach House for a good meal and great fun! with a view thats unbelievable!

Last bad experience at this restaurant was 4 months ago. Shame on me for assuming that things may have improved......Gave it a try tonight for a family dinner. Sorry to write that the service simply is not there. Absent minded waiters, kitchen mix-ups, food that does not arrive even until we had ended our meal. Of course, the manager on duty is quick to apologize but that is after the fact......just too late after ruining the moment. While it is not ever right to say "I'll never go there again", I certainly would state that "you go there at your own risk and expectations". If you can put up with bad service and going for a nice view/location and good ambiance, then this place does offer that. But, let's face it, you can get a good ambiance at most beach front restaurants or hotels. What we spend our money on is the good times/memories which, on account of erratic and bad service, dings the outcome of the purpose. Just too bad Cabous.....ran into Ashley as I was leaving....he just shook his head at what he heard from me......shame:-(

Great view. Food is terribly over priced. You don't get value for money. Prices are 5 star but the place is just a tiny restaurant on the beach.

So over this place after being dissapointed on so many occasions - poor poor service (who add things- mainly alcoholic - onto the bill..so check yr bills!), the food is way over priced and the quality disgusting, never mind it took 1 1/2 hrs to get a chicken and chips for the kids on one occasion and 2 hrs for our mains on another - and we started complaining after an hour only to be told 'its coming'....When the owner was finally informed he couldn't be bothered to come and speak to us, instead dissapeared into the kitchen..so we left, never to return again...it seems many local people feel the same way, we'll leave it to the tourists.

Do not contain all menus, poor assets and there is a dog always sleeping in the restaurant.

After reading the previous negative reviews I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at the beach house. Whilst the meals were somewhat expensive, the burger was excellent and the cocktails great. Service was more than adequate and Cabous, the owner was very attentive and ran a tight ship. I will certainly go back and would suggest that readers take the beach house for what it is - a great location, cold beers and great cocktails, decent food in a very relaxed atmosphere!!

This is a bad bad review from a very unhappy customer: You arrive at the restaurant's doorstep and find yourself obliged to PAY to be able to use the restaurant's parking... As if you eating in the restaurant is not enough forthem. On your way to your table you see stray dogs everwhere IN the restaurant and sitting next to you while you eat the average-standard dinner and service offered to you Just when you think that all the troublesome experience is over, the BILL hits you right in the face. You are not just charged for the just-okay food but also for the TIPS. Yes, mates. A 10% of the total bill is charged for the tips. And i must point out that all of these (the paid parking, strat dogs, tips charges) were NOT informed by the restaurant. Disgusted..

My favourite restaurant. Excellent steak, and an amzing atmosphere at any time of the day.

we Visited this Restaurant with 4 persons. Waiting time was more than 90 minutes for simple things like fried Calamari and burgers. Restaurant wasn't full. I recommend to go there just for drinking or when you are not hungry.

Hello, I were shocked to know that the "Happy Hour for 50% discount on cocktails EVERY DAY" is a con! I were told that due to "peak season" this is no more available but only from "November"? Very disappointing. Also, the prices you have on the menu online is not the same offered at the restaurant. Please check. The Calamar croustillant on your menu online is Rs160 while in the restaurant its Rs 180. (EXCL VAT) The taste was not great at all. Thank You. D.N.
