LUSI DAN PAKAN BY THE RIVER — Restaurant in Denpasar Timur

So i went here on satuday evening 8 May 2021 around 4-5 pm with my girlfriend. I'm gonna rate it on place and food, but i will criticize more about the food.

1st The Place Actually it was very creative way to turn river side into a nice dining space. It was pretty cozy. One thing i like the most is the place was full at that time, however i didn't feel crowded at all. Maybe because the place is outdoor and we can see a lot river green vegetation which successfully create a calm and cozy atmosphere. They also have a unique table made of a broken old sewing machine, which also successfully create a cozy and also vintage sensation. The service was also good, the waiters were all polite, easy to call and quick to act (I gave tips to the waiter which i seldom do, because the service is good). The duration between time we ordered the food and the food being delivered to us, was also good. Considering how full the place at that time, they didn't make us wait too long.

2nd Foods Actually I'm not really pleased with the food. Me and my GF ordered Caesar salad for appetizer and chicken wings for finger snack. The Caesar salad was not bad, but nothing special actually, just like ordinary Caesar salad (7/10). However the chicken wings was good. The sauce was good, and the chicken was, well... not bad (8/10). And main course, i ordered fish and chip (with wedged potatoes) and my GF ordered Squid Suna Cekuh with rice (Garlic and Galangal spice). For my dish, well the fish was actually a bit overcook, the protein actually tasted a bit dry, and the wedge potatoes were a bit undercook (it was a bit hard in the inside when i tried to cut it with the knife, and i can still feel the earthy plantish taste at the end of my tounge),but the white sauce is not too bad (so-so i guess), i will rate it 4/10. As for my GF food, the squid was cook well enough (not under or over) however i believe it needs a bit more seasoning (a bit more salt and pepper will do), i will rate it 6/10. And for desert at first i actually ordered coconut ice cream (i forgot the name) however it was sold out, and i ended up ordering fried ice cream. The ice cream was actually not bad, and the fried bread was not bad either, however the liquid around it (kind of sauce) is a bit too sweet for both of us. I will rate it 6/10.

Conclusion: If you are someone that really dig into the food (like food appraiser), and you passionately into the food, i don't think it will meet your satisfaction, especially the one that i ordered, however i haven't taste all the food on the menu, i only say this based on the food i ordered, but i do want to go back and taste the other foods that is on the menu. If you are someone who like to hangout, looking for the experience of the place and food is not really the thing that you concern, this place is recommended.

I do hope that the place will be better not only on the food but also on service etc. And i do hope the place will last for...

The food is incredible, the atmosphere is top tier. We went at night and the lights made it look like it was out of a movie. The staff is very friendly and always keeping an eye out for their customers. I've read on a review about this place that the mosquitos we're disturbing their dinner. I think the restaurant read it and acted upon it. The staff was handing out anti-mosquito spray to all of it's customers.

The price was reasonable for the food they produced. Was not expensive at all for the quality. They offer a wide variety of food and drinks and I'm sure there's something for everyone.

Speaking about movies, the night we went had a movie night on, it was an Indonesian movie with English subtitles, and it was weird but addictive ahah.

It was a but hard to find the place at night but definitely worth to look around for. If you're in the area I definitely recommend to go to this place, just wear some long sleeves if you're worried...
