This is a real seafood restaurant. We loved the ambiance of the place. I tried shrimp 🦐 pasta for the first time and it was very delicious, The friendly staff make you happy and can assist you with your meal choices. 💫🤍 We opted for white wine as a drink, and it was also delicious. 😋 The only downside is that the tables are very close to each other, so everyone's conversations can be easily heard, and because people come with their families, it can be crowded and noisy. Although a bit expensive compared to its counterparts, it was a nice evening for us.😌✨ Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €20–25 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Seafood

Love all the seafood dishes which I have ordered. The raw red shrimps are must-have. If you enjoy octopus, the very tender octopus dishe is for you. The fishcakes are light to start the meal. Grilled whole fishes are amazing. The seafood soup is for soup lover. The seafood pastas are very nice, I love their spaghetti with clams the most. Next time, I would like to try their ink spaghetti. Cannoli is a must-have to finish the dinner. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Seafood Pasta

Warning!!! This restaurant is totally rip off for tourist, be aware!! In the beginning we ordered the spaghetti lobster which is 26 euro, the stuff asked us if we like to change to blue lobster, but didn’t tell us if it’s different price and how much does it cost, which turns out to be 75 euro/150 euro for 2 person when we check the bill!!! The problem is not about how expensive the blue lobster is, the problem is the restaurant staff never tells us there is price difference and how much it cost when we order, when you suggest customer to change the menu order, you should clearly tell the customer the real price, If you don’t tell, it’s cheating And there is no 75 euro lobster spaghetti from the menu, which is a totally scam!! Plus the spaghetti is not well cooked and not worth at all! I will report this and broadcast to more social media and travel vlog, and let more tourists to avoid this restaurant when traveling to Malta Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+ Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

On entering, we were greeted by very friendly staff and shown to a table, even though we didn't book. We started with oysters and calamari, both of which were fantastic and fresh. We had a lovely lady looking after us and the service provided was very good. For mains, we had tuna steak and sea bream, both of which were full of flavour and cooked to perfection, absolutely delicious. This is a real gem of St. Julian's and not one to miss! Went again, last night and it's still as amazing as the first time. Great service, great food and we even picked our own red snapper for our main which was baked under salt and lit before us using sambuca and then stripped of its meat before being served. Love love love this place! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €35–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Tuna Stake

Good food and “nice service”, cuz we were tricked to buy a 150 euro lobster 🦞. they showed us a blue lobster after we ordered the 26 euro lobster pasta, introduced how nice it is and asked us if we want it, without saying this is of different price!!! We thought they were nice to show us the lobster they would use for the 26 euro pasta. When we got the bill, it’s 150 💶💶💶euro pasta cuz it’s a different lobster. It was a good lobster but I’m not sure it worth 150 euro and it’s disappointing they didn’t clear tell us the price that’s not on the menu! The problem is not the price, but the right to be clearly notified of the price. Reply: thanks for your reply but sorry it sounds rude. It sounds like: “you are stupid to assume that a rare blue lobster to be cheap.“ As a tourist, I should not be supposed to know how you do as usual, and I don’t think the customer must have necessarily knowledge of lobster pricing in Malta to be eligible to visit you. I appreciate your effort in the service and the food, the only thing I was disappointed about is that as a customer who chose to visit you with great expectations, I should have the right to be informed of necessary prices. The problem is not the price but customers’ right to be informed about the price. I hope this helps you understand my review.

We arrived at the busy restaurant without reservation after long travel to arrive in Malta from Texas and they were able to get us a table right away. The staff here was wonderful, quick and helpful and always pleasant. All of this was just in addition to the wonderful food we had as well. Everything was fresh and done very well. Highly recommend it if you are ever in the area!
