Restaurant by the sea — Restaurant in Kamala

I live in the area, so I'm always on the lookout for delicious breakfast. I was told about this place by some friends who stayed here. It's a hotel that also allows outsiders to pay a B349 fee to go and indulge in their breakfast buffet.

I've been here a few times, and each time I feel like I'm transported back to the states with their service which is top notch! Everything is friendly and ready to serve. They speak good English, and always top up your coffee if you need any more.

The food itself is pretty good. It's a traditional international breakfast with an egg station and all kinds of fixings. They have fresh fruit and several types of flavoured yogurt. There's also good potatoes, crispy and soft bacon as well as an array of breads to choose from!. There are all kinds of cold cuts, from cheese to meats, with all kinds of fruit juices available..... Including Roselle! The coffee is delicious and just what you need in the morning

I'm a fan of waffles, and they constantly make them fresh, with maple syrup as an option! However, I must say that the egg station leaves much to be desired. The regular eggs, like sunny side and over easy, are done good. But when it comes to omelettes or any scramble, it's far too much butter. They also don't ask how you like your scramble, and they are always incredibly hard unless you stop them. The butter overwhelms the palate, and can be a bit difficult to chow down since it's way too greasy and oily. Also, their french toast is basically an omelette wrapped around the bread so stay away from those.

A large group went for dinner. We all ordered a variety of different dishes. Unfortunately, we all experienced disappointment with the food dishes, including: poor quality dumplings that were not hot and werevl closer to a mini dim sim (or won ton) chicken satay sticks that were tough, and not hot massaman curry that was full of onion in lieu of the meat and potato's chicken breast that was tough, not hot, little flavour and a very small serving of fries. The manager was advised of our food problems and acknowledged our concerns. She kindly offered us all a complimentary fruit plate and a free dessert. We sincerely thank the manager for her help, however, one of the complimentary desserts was a creame brulee, which was also very disappointing (closer to a baked egg custard, which was very poor). We are sorry to advise our dinner tonight was not enjoyable...

For all the negative comments referring to getting declined access due to having children - that is your fault for not doing your research first! You would have entered from Kamala Beach and there are signs which clearly display it is restaurant inside a hotel. A simple google search would have told you this is an adults only resort so they were not being rude by turning you away and it is unfair to give a poor review due to your lack of knowledge. We stayed at Sunprime and absolutely loved having this restaurant onsite. The staff were lovely and friendly, not just here but throughout the whole resort and we were very impressed with their customer service. The food was great - good portion size, reasonably priced and you must try the cocktails! 5/5 we cannot wait to...
