    • Sonex I. ★★★★ The staff were pretty polite, friendly and attentive. The room was bright and well lit, ambience was cheerful with the Christmas decorations still up. The food was nice but for the Kaly rice, which wasn't well cooked and tasted rather bland. We were in a party of 12, comprising adults and children. Reservations are strongly advised. The drinks were ok. I had a passionfruit cocktail, with excellent but the second glass fell short. The bathrooms were clean and decent. Attendants were on point. My friend was pleasantly surprised by the birthday song, a hat, balloons and a cheesecake that the staff came out with, singing. That was a rather nice touch..

    • Johnson E. ★★★★★ The restuarant has a very nice ambience. Different meals are served. From breakfast to main meals to desserts and snacks. There is also kids menu to choose from. Food was great and very filling. Nice customer service. Our attendant Mary was very lovely. Enough parking space. If you are like me who doesnt have an adventurous taste buds, just stick to what you are familiar with lol. I had the 'grilled fish' and chips and honestly I didnt enjoy the fish because it didnt taste like what I am used to lol so maybe another thing to do is ask the waiters questions but luckily the sauce from my starter was a great help to eat it. Other than that, it was a good experience.

    • Danuta M. ★★★★★ Well let's just face it, it wasn't fine dining..price was, food was sub standard. Out of a party of 7 people, 4 were either not happy or just disappointed. Service took to long, over 1 hrs and when the food came it was either sloppy over cooked or just rushed. I had high hopes for the place, due to its fabulous menu, but the atmosphere there was also a little dead, with more staff hanging about than guests. Also there was no lift, lots of stairs and we had an elderly guest with us with mobility issues. A sad affair to be honest. Lower your prices, or change your chef please!

    • tsboi ★★★★★ Lagoon Restaurant has a beautiful waterfront ambiance that immediately stands out and creates a relaxing dining experience. The setting is perfect for a calm outing or a special meal by the water. While the fish was fresh, it lacked enough spice to truly stand out. However, the crab sauce was absolutely world-class—rich, flavorful, and perfectly paired with rice and small chops. Overall, the ambiance and standout sauces make it worth a visit, with room for improvement on the fish seasoning.
