I highly recommend Breeze Bar for its excellent service and delicious cocktails. The staff goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable.

The lagoon-side tables are the way to go here. Sunset was gorgeous, breeze kept things comfortable. Had a decent bottle of wine with the grilled prawns&mdash;nothing fancy but paired well. Service was a bit slow between courses, but honestly didn&#39;t mind since we weren&#39;t in a rush. Good spot to unwind.

The beef lasagna was really good&mdash;freshly made and full of flavor. Cozy spot, though the wait got a bit long when it got busy.

Coffee&#39;s hit or miss here. My cappuccino was decent, but a friend said the Americano came out weak and watery. Stick to the food, probably safer.

Came for the sunset view and honestly that&rsquo;s the main reason to go. Food was decent, nothing crazy. Service took a while though, we waited a bit between dishes. Still, sitting there watching the sky change made it worth it.

The shrimp curry was the star &mdash; big juicy prawns in a sauce that had real depth. Sides were decent too. Fried rice fell a bit flat but honestly didn&#39;t care once I got into the curry. Fresh juices are a good shout if you need something cold.

Came here for the grilled prawns and they didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Fresh, juicy, decent size for the price. Sitting right by the beach with the breeze made it better. Service was friendly, nothing fancy but fine. Place gets a bit busy around sunset, so you might wait a little. Still, a solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and want seafood without the tourist markup. 🦐

Seafood platter was massive. Fresh too, easily fed two of us. Waiter Maditha looked after us well. That&#39;s about it. Solid spot if you&#39;re after a feed.

The veg curry plate in Negombo was really good&mdash;five different curries, each one fresh and tasty. Price felt fair for the portion. 🌊

Clean place, tables had fresh cloths which I always notice. Menu was straightforward, no squinting to read it. Prices seemed fair for what you get. Staff left us alone to look things over, no hovering or pushing us to order. That kind of calm is nice when you just want a relaxed meal.

We stopped by Olu for lunch while staying at Anantara. Ganganath looked after us well, friendly without being pushy. I had a glass of their house white with the seafood&mdash;decent pairing, nothing fancy but it worked. Food was solid, though the service was the real highlight. Place was a bit quiet for a weekday afternoon, which suited us fine.

Came here for the grilled fish and prawns&mdash;both were done right, fresh and simple. Sunset view from the beach is hard to beat. Staff were friendly, didn&rsquo;t hover too much. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but for the location it&rsquo;s fair enough. Decent spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Solid pub, decent drinks list. Food&#39;s alright and portions are big for what you pay. Gets pretty loud on weekends though, hard to have a chat.

Had the lentil dal with rice at this place. Simple dish but honestly the best dal I&#39;ve had in a long time. Portion was decent for the price too. Staff were friendly, didn&#39;t rush me at all. Wish I lived closer, would come back just for this.

Nice spot to catch the sunset with the bonfire going. Drinks were good, staff friendly enough. Music was decent too. Bit of a walk to get here but worth it for the vibe.
