“I went today with my husband for my birthday. The view is spectacular. The wonderful waiter made my birthday special. He took us to other dining areas to take photos of us. The food was delicious. We shared oysters ( the best we’ve had for awhile) we then shared the PESCA burger and the crab salad. Just divine. Finished off with a lovely little birthday cake . Highly recommend going there for a lovely quiet lunch. We will be back soon” - OT Diner, OpenTable

Signature Dishes: A Culinary Journey Awaits

Our menu is a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation, featuring signature dishes that are sure to impress even the most discerning palate:

Indulge in luxury with 30g of the finest caviar, harvested from sustainable sources. This delicacy is served with traditional accompaniments such as blinis, crème fraîche, and finely diced shallots, offering a perfect balance of rich, briny flavors with a creamy, refreshing finish. Every bite promises a moment of indulgence that transports you to the pinnacle of gourmet dining.


A vibrant, fresh blend of premium-grade ahi tuna, diced and mixed with silky avocado and a zesty citrus dressing that brightens the palate. The dish is artfully presented, topped with microgreens and served with housemade taro chips, providing a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the smooth texture of the tuna.


A grand display of the ocean’s finest offerings, this platter features succulent lobster tails, jumbo shrimp, tender scallops, and the freshest catch of the day. Each element is perfectly chilled, accompanied by classic dipping sauces like mignonette, cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges, ensuring a symphony of flavors with every bite.


Marinated to perfection and grilled over an open flame, this octopus is incredibly tender, with a slight smokiness that enhances its natural oceanic flavor. Served atop a salad of mixed greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers, all tossed in a tangy housemade vinaigrette, the dish offers a delightful balance of savory and fresh.


Plump, succulent shrimp are carefully poached and chilled to preserve their natural sweetness. Served with fresh lemon wedges and a tangy cocktail sauce that delivers a perfect kick of heat and acidity, this classic starter is both refreshing and satisfying.


Experience the essence of the sea with fresh oysters served on a bed of crushed ice. Each oyster is shucked to order and presented with lemon wedges, a tangy mignonette sauce, and a zesty cocktail sauce, allowing you to enjoy the briny, slightly sweet flavors of the oysters in their purest form.
