The culinary journey at The Sundeck was equally impressive. The menu boasts a diverse selection of delectable dishes, catering to various palates. We opted for a seafood platter, burrata salad, and Pad Thai, each dish prepared to perfection and bursting with flavors. The seafood platter was a true delight, featuring fresh catches of the day, while the burrata salad was a refreshing and flavorful starter. The Pad Thai was a classic Thai dish executed flawlessly, with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory notes.
To complement the exquisite cuisine, The Sundeck offers an extensive cocktail menu. We indulged in a few handcrafted cocktails, each expertly mixed and presented. The Sundeck’s bartenders are true mixologists, creating innovative and refreshing concoctions that perfectly complement the dining experience.
The service at The Sundeck was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure a memorable dining experience. Their friendly demeanor and professionalism added to the overall charm of the restaurant.
