“Not so good given the location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013

We had a very simple fish meal but not impressed. Very costly. Food was okay but a little tasteless. Service was okay but one felt that you had to be on your way once you had eaten - ie table cleared far too quickly and no warmth in staff.

Was a lovely meal, we thoroughly enjoyed it and would go back if ever back in Fiji. The prices were totally acceptable and myself and my partner both left very satisfied.

“Has become very expensive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013

We loved this restaurant in 2012 because kids were spoiled with great food at great prices and mum and dad got a great setting and menu. But in 2013 peak season, kids' portions were small (aimed at under 5s i reckon) and pricing doubled. What annoyed me the most was that as we left the restaurant, we noticed the 2... More

Great eatery on the beach at the Sheraton. Ate here most days for lunch as it was convenient and plenty of variety. Staff were fantastic. Particularly Oni and Laitte.

“Inconsistent Food”

We went to Flying Fish for lunch twice. The first time we enjoyed our lunch so much we went a second and ordered the same 3 dishes but also ordered an additional dish of dumplings. The second time the food was disappointing compared to our first experience just days earlier. For example the pasta came in a big clump and... More

“There is a god!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2013

As a chef, I find it hard to find good places to eat in Fiji when I want a special meal. Last night I found flying fish. Great food, I'm still thinking about it 24hrs later! Confit pork belly was so juicy, prawn dumplings took me back to my time spent in Beijing, wagyu beef was so flavourful and paired... More

“Great food, nice wine, with sand in your toes”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2013

This was the best meal we had during our week in Denarau. We visited from the Hilton, and had made a reservation. We were given a table on the sand (as requested), and were right up the front, with nothing between us and the ocean. Fantastic! Despite the casual, optionally shoe-free beachfront setting, the restaurant is all class. Service is... More
