I remember Padi's Point as elevated huts where my friends and I can unwind, drink, enjoy the view and savor the cold gusts of wind. Well, that's how I pictured it in my mind more than 30 years ago, it was an awesome place even back then!
This is how it looks like at present. It had gone massive changes from how I imagined it to be but the changes are so apt to the millennials of today.
Wide elevated restaurant with a view to behold! At first, we thought we could readily sit in these situated tables as soon as the last customers finish their meals or had enough selfie pics and relax time; it turned out that other customers are lined up before us so they can have that coveted seat as well, whew!
They have great menus, comparable with the other shops you'd usually go for a night out. They have festive menus and we indulged ourselves in plates of crispy pata, tofu with onion leeks and oyster like sauce, and rice to match our appetite.
What do we think? Well, my honest review would be: the place is fantastic because of the amazing view but it could've been better. The coveted tables are so few and a lot of customers want to experience having those seats as they eat and take selfies with their families and friends. Maybe they could come up with a better strategy than lining up the customers (like in their mind? lol!) in such a way where you won't know when your turn will come. Most of us ended giving up the idea and just ate our bitterness away. The food was superb so that's a substantial enough consolation for others who want to visit the place. They have seats outdoors as well to cater to either smoking customers or big groups that can't be accommodated in their indoor space due to space. Verdict? recommending mainly because of the view. The food is comparable with the nearby shops along the area so you have other choices if view ain't in your number 1 curiosity.
