Sunset Seafood on Jimbaran Bay
Beachfront Setting
Right on Jl. Pantai Kelan, tables sit almost at the water’s edge with uninterrupted views of Jimbaran Bay. The sunsets can be spectacular, often paired with live music, Balinese dance and the occasional fireworks when beach vendors make a sale. Planes landing nearby add an unexpected backdrop for aviation fans.
Seafood Platters and Packages
Menu centres on fresh catches – lobster, crab, prawns, fish, clams and squid – often sold as shared baskets or set menus. Some diners relished the grilled fish marinated Balinese-style and plump clams with lemon (Google 2023). Others felt portions could be small for the price, with examples like three tiny prawns or squid skewers of only one piece each. Pricing noted in reviews ranged from 900k to 1.9m IDR depending on set size and inclusions.
Service Notes
Staff are frequently described as warm, attentive and willing to accommodate last‑minute changes. Names like Paloh and Allie come up with praise. However, reports of slow serving times – up to 45 minutes – appear alongside occasional mix‑ups about which seafood was being served. Some guests mentioned needing extra plates, napkins or handwashing bowls when tackling crab and shellfish.
Atmosphere and Extras
Evenings often bring a singer‑guitarist, live band or fire dance. Handmade jewellery sellers pass by, sometimes warning families with toddlers ahead of fireworks. Lighting by beachside tables can be dim, and a few guests suggested more lamps so food is visible after dark.
Mixed Impressions on Quality
Several visits yielded praise for juiciness, clean preparation and “best seafood in Bali” claims. Others criticised over‑sweet sauces, overcooked lobster, frozen-not-live crab, or lack of authenticity in seasoning. A couple of harsh reviews cited very poor freshness, food poisoning, and overly forceful beach vendors.
Verdict
This is a place for diners who value mood, sea views and the theatre of dining right on the sand, especially at sunset. Come with a relaxed pace and appetite for seafood, but be aware that experiences can range from memorable to underwhelming depending on the night.
