    Fantastic Valentine’s Day Experience! My wife and I had an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner at Krakatoa Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect mood for the evening. The service was excellent—attentive without being intrusive. The food was outstanding! Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. We especially loved the Rendang Sapi, which was cooked to perfection. The wine selection were equally impressive, and the dessert was the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful night. Overall, everything about our experience was top-notch. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Krakatoa to anyone looking for a great dining experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We are a clearly visible lesbian and we were treated like any other couple and it was very reassuring and we felt safe and comfortable. We had a wonderful waitress who was very attentive and funny and even said we were a cute couple! I’ve been eating at Burlock Coast for a few years now with my family and now my partner and it’s always a positive experience.

    It was delicious! A lot of the usual buffet food’s but the taste and quality was amazing. They also had small crème brûlées in espresso cups for dessert that I am now obsessed with.
