Tables sit right on the sand at Kedonganan Beach for grilled seafood platters as the sun drops. Diners pick live catches straight from tanks—or bring in fish from the neighboring market to be cooked over open coals with spicy sambal matah. Acoustic trios drift between tables taking requests, while airport flights descend over the bay. Clams, king prawns, and lobster arrive charred alongside garlic butter, kangkung, and cold fresh juices.
- Beachfront Sand Seating: Candlelit tables set directly on Kedonganan sands facing the ocean tide and evening sunset.
- Live Tank & Market Catch Prep: Pick live fish and shellfish from display tanks, or bring fresh seafood from the adjacent market for custom coal grilling.
- Live Roving Music & Dancers: Roving acoustic musicians take table-to-table song requests alongside traditional beachfront dance performances.

Danielle Tolson Pre-Flight Dining with Luggage Storage
Conveniently located near the airport, guests can enjoy a peaceful beachfront meal while the restaurant securely holds travel luggage before departure.
They even held my luggage for an hour before we ate. Wasn’t too busy but it did take over 30 minutes to get food. But we loved the setting so it didn’t matter at all.
