KISIK Seafood and Grill — Restaurant in East Nusa Tenggara

Dining at Kisik Seafood & Grill is more than just a meal—it’s an experience woven with romance, fresh ocean air, and the sound of waves meeting the shore.

Set right on the sand, candle-lit tables flicker under the night sky, creating a setting so dreamy it almost feels surreal. The highlight? A perfectly grilled seafood platter, fresh from the sea. The lobster, fish, and seafood skewers were expertly cooked, infused with Balinese spices that enhanced the natural sweetness of the seafood. Every bite was a celebration of flavors—smoky, buttery, and slightly tangy from the sambal.

To start, the Rujak Buah Waecicu was a pleasant surprise—a vibrant mix of tropical fruits drizzled in tamarind dressing, balancing sweet, sour, and a hint of spice. And to finish, the Tiramisu was everything you want in a dessert—silky, indulgent, with just the right hit of espresso.

The staff was warm and attentive, ensuring the entire experience felt intimate and special. Whether you’re here for a honeymoon, a romantic getaway, or simply to indulge in the best seafood in Labuan Bajo,...

There’s a huge gap between expectations versus the reality of the food given the expensive price tag. I did enjoy the grilled squid though, which was probably the only redeeming dish for...

The truth is that the place is very beautiful and the service is excellent, but the food is not worth what we paid. We ordered lobster cooked in bamboo and fish in bamboo as well. Both dishes tasted exactly the same. To make matters worse, they were cooked with so many spices and herbs that the natural flavors of the fish and lobster were completely lost. In short, both dishes tasted identical to each other, and for foreigners, they might even taste just like street food, since they were overloaded with herbs and flavors that completely masked the main ingredient. For my taste, it was not worth it. We paid 2,000,000 rupiah for a meal that I honestly don’t think is worth even a quarter of what we paid. Very...
