"I have never written a review but felt compelled to write one as our experience for our daughter's baptism at Lucias by the sea was INCREDIBLE. We & our guests were blown away by the venue, service & food... the service, timing & communication throughout the event was excellent. I appreciated being so well informed of everything & all that was discussed prior was delivered above & beyond our expectations. So glad we had our event here. THANK YOU!" - Helen, February 2022

"THANK YOU guys for an amazing event! Starting from the organisation with Gabi which was faultless - every detail was considered, we were able to postpone the event seamlessly, & your patience with COVID issues & guests number changing is so appreciated. Now to the food - AMAZING. We had so many compliments about it & the amount as well - everyone was saying how full they were which was music to our ears! Service was 10/10 as always. Your waitstaff were excellent - always tending to tables & taking drink orders. I never had to wait for a drink! The communication between me & the waitstaff also was great, they would always come up to me & keep me informed about the kitchen, when we wanted food served etc. Everyone had an amazing night & we will continue to recommend you to everyone we know for events!" - Cindy, January 2022
