"Incredible and absolutely delicious. Most delectable clams (try the Alexandrian way 🤤) and our server Mickey was the best. We would come back to Hurghada, Egypt just for this food 💚"

"Unfortunately disappointing restaurant experience for us. We’ve been exited after such good reviews. But there is a lot to improve, mostly food isn’t delicious, served barely warm, some of them even cold. Whole salt fish overcooked.
Atmosphere itself pretty good ofc, as it’s located next to the sea. But that’s everything"

"Worst restaurant experience in El Gouna.
The food was extremely disappointing – most of the dishes were far too salty or simply lacked flavor. The prices are completely unjustified for the quality offered. For example, they charged nearly $70 USD for 1 kg of XL shrimp. While they did show us the price list before ordering, as a tourist coming in for dinner, it’s not something you would usually scrutinize in detail. On top of that, the variety of fish available was very limited.
At the end of the meal, the staff asked how the food was, but we didn’t give them an honest answer — we just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
What made the experience even worse is that just the night before, we dined at another seafood restaurant in El Gouna Downtown. The difference was like night and day – far better taste, higher quality, larger portions, and still cheaper than what we paid here.
Save yourself the disappointment and money – do not dine here."
