Moreno Beach Bali — Restaurant in Denpasar Selatan

Tables on the sand, under the shade. Sounds romantic, right? It is, until you realize sand is basically nature’s herpes. You’ll find it in your shoes, your bag, and possibly in your soul. Still, the setup looks straight out of a Netflix rom-com montage. Very “Zac Efron brooding while holding a coconut.”

Calamari: golden, crispy, edible. Hard to screw up fried squid, unless you set the fryer on fire, so points for not burning the place down. But the pesto dip? That was a weird plot twist. Like finding Jar Jar Binks in an Avengers movie. Nobody asked, but here we are.

Pizza: thin crust, soft, floppy. It looked like it wanted to be a cool artisanal Instagram pizza, but deep down it’s more like a reboot of a reboot. Zucchini slices doing interpretive dance on top, ricotta crumbles posing for a headshot, and then—boom—pesto again. Average at best, like when Disney insists on “live action” remakes no one demanded.

Tuna salad (aka sushi bowl in disguise): finally, some redemption. Tuna was fresh, avocado behaving itself, veggies crisp, seaweed hanging out on the side like the cool extra in a teen movie. Actually tasty. If the menu were a band, this would be the lead guitarist everyone’s secretly here for.

Smoothies: sweet, fruity, refreshing. Basically the Freddy Mercury of the table. Everything else was trying, but the smoothies were just casually owning the stage without breaking a sweat. You sip one and immediately flash back to ’90s Capri Sun commercials, except now you’re paying adult money for the privilege.

Final verdict: Not a disaster, not a culinary Oscar-winner. Think of it as that friend who always wears flip-flops, insists “it’s a vibe,” and somehow gets away with it. Come for the view, stay for the smoothies, and don’t let the pesto gaslight you into thinking it...

This is our second visit here. I would like to mention that in my first review I gave 5 stars. Since we liked it, we wanted to come back again a week later. We made a reservation for 19:00 and when we arrived at 19:00, we asked to postpone it to 19:30 and received confirmation. However, when we returned at 19:35, other people were sitting at our table, and we were told that we hadn’t arrived at 19:00. We reminded them that we had postponed our reservation, and they confirmed it. They moved the customers who were sitting at our table to another one, but when I signaled the first waiter for an order, he gestured that he did not want to serve us. The second waiter we called helped us. This is a situation I would never want to experience. I have traveled through hundreds of cities and dozens of countries, and eaten in thousands of restaurants, but I have never seen such rudeness. Incidents like this lower our mood and overshadow our evening. My rating for the restaurant is 5, but for what happened today my...

the atmosphere was really good, so is the food and coffees BUT im kinda questioning the chicken wings i ordered, it was sour (very, like from 1-5 it is 6) i do notice it has pickles on top of it as garnish which is ok but i really didn't expect the whole wings also tasted like pickles?

however i think Moreno need more improvement on the service. i reserved a table through whatsapp but after i sent the required details, i got ghosted, no further confirmation at all, tbh it made me confused whether you guys received and confirmed my reservation (and special request) or not and should i go there or not.

dan seperti beberapa review yg lain, sepertinya service terhadap locals dan juga foreigners agak terlihat perbedaannya ya?. kurang cukup ramah dengan locals kayak “oh yaudah” doang sedangkan dengan foreigners servicenya lebih woah. padahal bayar tax service juga sama bayar juga, kalo liat order juga keliatannya banyakan saya,...
