Our impression was that the focus now seemed to be on weddings and conferences, as there were only two tables occupied when we visited with our Sri Lankan friends who were staying at the hotel. We had hoped for a large fish that could feed all seven of us, but the options were either red snapper or pomfret, both of which were only large enough for two people. The food was well-prepared and delicious, and the service was attentive, likely due to the lack of customers. However, the portions were small and not worth the price. In our opinion, we have had better dining experiences at one of the Majorda beach shacks, and there are several local restaurants that offer better value for a special dining experience.

Spice Studio is only open for dinner and it offers incredible flavors. The service provided by Paveen was excellent; he took great care of us. We only had vegetarian food, but the taste was amazing. Chef Anil and another friendly chef (whose name we don't recall) even made food according to our requests. The starters, soup, and main course were all very tasty. The ice creams here are exceptional.
