Reviews
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. A truly star-level chef, incredibly delicious food, beautifully presented, and outstanding service from the moment we left the hotel until our return.
The restaurant’s view over the marine life is simply breathtaking and adds a magical touch to the experience. Some tables offer better views than others, so it is definitely worth reserving in advance.
The warmth and kindness of the staff made the evening even more special, along with the beautifully curated music that perfectly set the mood. The Christmas menu was simply succulent : every dish was a delight.
This is an experience to do and redo without hesitation.
Big thanks to Sumit for being so kind and welcoming!
The journey began with a boat ride from the island, led by Sumat, the maître d’, as we approached the restaurant, set in the middle of the ocean, we were greeted by Yuni and Vikash, waiting on the platform, ready to greet us. The entire arrival was theatrical, you felt like you were in a James Bond movie.
Once inside, the magic continued. Surrounded by vibrant marine life, including lemon sharks, reef sharks, and schools of fish while enjoying a gourmet meal was surreal.
The food was exceptional, each course a masterpiece of flavour and presentation and the service from Sumat, Yuni, and Vikash made us feel like honoured guests. Their attention to detail and warmth elevated the experience into something deeply personal and celebratory.
Dining beneath the ocean on our silver anniversary was a dream come true. How often do you get the chance to enjoy a Michelin-starred meal while surrounded by the wonders of the ocean? For us, it was worth every penny and would highly recommend it.
But to be honest the food just isn’t that great, it’s not bad food, but it’s simply not a fine dining restaurant standard.
I would still definitely recommend this restaurant for the experience alone, because the view is simply breathtaking, the view alone is worth the price.
We booked a few weeks in advance and got one of the best tables in the house (under the glass dome with 360 views of the sea life). Definitely book as early as you can, especially if it is an occasion. We visited for the 6.30pm sitting which was a great time to go, as we got to see the exquisite marine life in the daylight, at sunset and after dark.
The food was excellent (we had the meat menu on recommendation from a couple we met at the main hotel). Anyone who has said anything about the food ‘not being warm enough’ simply has not eaten at fine dining restaurants that offer tasting menus. Tasting menus are not meant to be super hot, because the he heat kills the flavours in the food. We were incredibly impressed by the quality of food offered as well as the attentiveness of the staff.
It is an expensive meal out, but so incredibly worth it for a special occasion!
Tip: Everyone dresses nicely to go here, but heels are not essential. I would carry a small fan if possible as it can be a bit warm if you are seated at 6.30pm or lunch, as the sun is very bright overhead. But it soon cools off once the sun starts to set.
From the very beginning, the welcome was warm and friendly. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, offering a unique underwater atmosphere that feels truly special. We visited for lunch, and the food was very good, beautifully presented, and enjoyable.
The staff were kind and attentive, and we especially appreciated the personal touch — even the chef came to greet us, which made the experience feel more intimate. We would also like to thank the manager, Sunil, who made sure we were well taken care of and comfortable throughout our visit.
Based on our experience, we would recommend dinner rather than lunch, as the fish are more visible in the evening. The underwater lights attract more marine life, creating a much more spectacular view. During the daytime, we didn’t see as many fish.
Overall, H2O is a unique and memorable experience, and definitely worth visiting, especially for dinner.
Details in service and food have room for improvement, so marketing it with the Michelin name feels misleading:
– No tablecloth or settings. Wobbly glass plates meant the dining room was noisy from glass on tile
– Used fork and knife were dropped on my partners lap without apology
– Napkins weren’t folded when stepping away
– Some dishes like duck ravioli and sea bass weren’t very flavorful, good but nothing exceptional. Others like the mojito shrimp were unique. Dessert was a bit too strong w smoke smell/taste
– Was told H2O wouldn’t do anything for our honeymoon, but other tables were given (birthday?) cakes which rubbed us the wrong way
Service staff were overall kind as always. Vikash (if I caught his name) was amazing with photos for us!
food excellent and stuff very kind and available.. Sumit is so kind and professional and he makes the possible to make your dinner a moment to special and unforgettable!
A must visit when you’re coming to the Maldives. Truly exceptional experience – thank you chef.
