About The Lounge

The ambient mood enveloping the space creates an inviting yet relaxed environment that complements casual dining or a quiet evening. Dimming lights intermingle with soft background melodies, crafting a setting where time seems to slow just enough to savor each moment. While the décor hints at understated elegance, some seating arrangements might feel slightly close during peak hours, hinting at the challenge of balancing comfort and capacity. Insights gathered from various The Lounge reviews echo this sentiment, highlighting both the charm and the occasional bustle without detracting from the overall experience.

Diving into the culinary side, the diversity evident in The Lounge menu offers dishes ranging from local Sri Lankan fare to more internationally influenced choices. A standout is often the seafood selection, demonstrating freshness with subtle, well-balanced spices that hint at traditional preparations with a contemporary touch. Photos shared online capture the colorful plating and generous portions, though occasionally, some dishes arrive warmer than expected, suggesting room for consistency improvements. The pricing aligns reasonably with the quality delivered, making for a balanced dining value, although certain specialties may stretch a modest budget.

Attention from staff fluctuates between attentive and somewhat distracted during busier periods, yet the general hospitality remains courteous and accommodating. Conversations overheard and feedback in The Lounge restaurant comments reveal a willingness among employees to address concerns promptly despite occasional service lag. Environmental noises and nearby table conversations contribute to a lively ambiance, which while pleasant for many, may detract from those seeking a more secluded meal. Collectively, this dining experience blends its strengths and minor imperfections into an accessible option for those exploring Tangalle’s eateries.

The best place in Tangalle if you want relax and don’t worry about how your meal will be cook. Open kitchen and bar, modern music, good sitting place next to beach when we can look forward sunset. We spent a lot of time in this place in our holiday. Boss is so friendly and polite guy we love him. We played in pool and darts, took a sunbath and so on. Boss and his team never were aggressive and always try to understand and explain situation what different from. Unfortunately sometimes tourists forget that they are guests in Sri and start to behave so aggressive and not understandable, they want to be Main here and use themselves rules or try not pay for ordered food or drink, and wrote a false reviews after that. It’s not fair for this beautiful restaurant and team who work here.

Such a great spot right at the river and the beach! The little boat ride to get there makes it feel extra special. The vibe is super relaxed and it’s a great place to watch the sea and sunset! Great selection of drinks and they are spot on! The staff is really friendly. Definitely a place to check out if you’re looking for something unique by the beach!

Best fish I’ve eaten in a long time. Curry sauce is right amount and that it doesn’t overwhelm the nicely cooked fish. We also had tuna starter and oysters. To have oysters for that price felt almost wrong and that tuna starter was the most tender fish I’ve ever tasted. Amazing location and super kind service. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful location and what fun arriving by raft! We had a great time there and food was really good only thing is not great veggie options (pasta or salad only at the moment) but they were lovely and the cocktails were excellent.

Great place ! If you’re into creative cuisine and would like to try new flavour associations, you should go there. We tried the starters and they were all so tasty and fresh. Staff is adorable and the location is perfect, accessible with a small boat, someone from the team will get you there. They also have different games available (snooker, darts, board games…). Highly recommend !

Had a lovely dinner here with some amazing food and a perfect view to end the day. The boat ride to get to the place was so unique and a nice touch to the uniqueness of this spot. Highly recommend this place to anyone. The meal itself was remarkable with the prawn dish being one of the best I have had in a long time. I would go for seconds if I could. The staff were so welcoming and friendly as well

We have been to this place after long week in Sri Lanka- AND- hands down this was the best place, best food and best cocktails we had so far! Also the service has been amazing- which was super refreshing after a week! The location is something to be seen in itself. Highly recommend- you won’t regret trust me! And I like my food & drinks if that helps
