Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Hastings / Sunrise

Highly recommended by a friend (a very experienced diner), Lavidas exceeded our high expectations. All three courses were delicious, ambience cosy and conversation easy with soft background music, and excellent, professional, low-key service from start to finish. A new favourite dining destination.

Came back after several years and the food quality is as high as I remembered! Highly recommend for a unique Italian experience.

Exceptional staff, service, ambiance, food quality and hospitality. This is my third time enjoying Hector’s creations and he never disappoints. The Botanist staff is worth experiencing as much as the food. Absolutely superb quality and food pairing, wine paring and menu creativity. The menu changes with the season but if you are around in the winter anything suck, lamb or pepper salmon is and will be divine. This is a must experience!

Open on Christmas day, did not know what to expect. Reasonable prices. Comfy ambience though it was getting busier. Everything tasted great. The best was the butter chicken. Took the leftover sauce home. Would like to try again, but with friends instead of family, as well as test drive some cars beforehand (nice neighbourhood of dealerships).

Vivian was spectacular as always. So attentive, she knows exactly what we need before we even know we need it. Attention to detail, the courses came out at the perfect time. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from her and the chef’s at Diva! Thank you!
