Good food, attentive staff and pleasant atmosphere (with no loud music).

We're always happy dining here because of the excellent service and food quality. Last night's charcoal fish was a bit of a disappointment, though. However, service was excellent.

Lovely owners and staff - great food - warm and cosy with Fireplace

It was cold out but nice and warm inside even before we got to the yummy food! Absolutely full by the time we were done, great service from the team there and every morsel was delicious! Highly recommend the Calamari!

Absolutely yum food. Definitely charcoal influenced but not overbearing and lots of other flavours in the rubs and dressings. Lovely staff and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended

We decided to try Someplace Else for a change. Fabulous. Food, atmosphere, staff and price were all excellent.

Staff were awesome and set the atmosphere for a great night. We knew by the staffs interaction straight away and information about the menu and drinks they gave us. Listening to our needs etc,checking on us regularly. Just an awesome experience that we haven't had in quite a few years. Food was so good and we are so coming back with friends 😋

Lovely dinner thank you.the staff were very helpful, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely.

Special birthday dinner and we loved our meals; my husband gave 8/10 for his charcoal grilled scotch fillet and same from me for my delicious Grilled Eggplant & Halloumi. The service was excellent- warm & friendly & very attentive. We will definitely return.

Charcoal Eatery delivered an unforgettable dining experience with a perfect blend of authentic Lebanese flavors and modern presentation. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, with an inviting and warm ambiance. The staff greeted us with genuine hospitality, providing excellent service throughout the meal. We started with the prawn appetizer, and it was simply outstanding. The prawns were perfectly grilled, tender, and seasoned to perfection, with subtle hints of Lebanese spices. The fresh vegetables that accompanied them added a delightful crunch, creating a well-balanced dish. For the mains, we savored both the chicken and fish dishes. The chicken was moist, tender, and infused with rich, smoky flavors from the grill, while the fish was delicately cooked to a flaky perfection. What truly elevated the experience were the accompanying vegetables, all roasted to bring out their natural sweetness, and the exceptional mango seasoning. The mango added a sweet and tangy twist that tied all the flavors together, making each bite more enjoyable than the last. To complement the meal, I indulged in their beautifully crafted mocktails. The drinks were refreshing, vibrant, and balanced, offering a perfect non-alcoholic option for those seeking something light and flavorful. Charcoal Eatery exceeded all expectations. The authentic Lebanese flavors, paired with top-notch service and a welcoming ambiance, make it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a unique dining experience. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

Calamari not good at all. Steak taste nice but thin piece Garlic bread more like naan. Won't rush back

We love visiting someplace else, exceptional food wonderful service and a personal greeting! What else do we need! Xx

First time. We liked the food. The music was good choice and just the right volume. We had a nice table on the beach side. Overall a good experience. We liked the menu, not too many choices, but enough to choose from. The service was a bit too quick, but efficient.

Heard many good things about Someplace Else, so finally got to try for ourselves. We were not disappointed!! The front of house staff were exceptional and delivered service with a smile and a bit of banter. The food was delicious and the overall ambience and feel for the room was welcoming. Definitely be going back "Sometime Soon"!

Ambiance and view was awesome. Service and food was great.

The food was amazing! Staff were great and went the extra mile. The restaurant is beautiful. Would recommend it to anyone

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Lucky enough to sit by the open window with beautiful view across to the water. Good value food. Tasty, good amount and nicely presented. Nothing flash but felt like you get your moneys worth which doesn't feel like that at most restaurants these days.

Great food & good service. Friendly & attentive staff. Value for money

Two of us had dinner. We both had the blackened fish and that was superb. Our lovely table looked across the road to the reserve and beach. Attentive service. Will be back.
