Luis was our server and he was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is limited to only a few items. But we got the mixed platter…chicken, lamb and beef… so flavorful. They have a sweet brown sauce I wish I could have a bottle of! Small place. Make a reservation. Order a bottle of wine and enjoy!!

Our first experience with Indonesian Food. Very welcoming response upon entering despite fact we were late for our reservation. Attentive service throughout the meal, food was excellent, extremely flavorful, served with a variety of home made sauces and dips. Very nice portions, able to share easily, and they served special dessert to person celebrating birthday on the house. I very minor complaint would be the fact that they were playing some jazz music rather than something more closely identified to Indonesia, but apparently the owner likes jazz, nothing wrong with that I suppose. Would recommend to anyone thinking about experimenting with a cuisine that is a bit outside the traditional box, anyone who enjoys Malaysian food will really like this place.

The unique menu has many options for vegetarians. Our dinners were so artistically presented that we hesitated to dig into them but once we did we could not stop eating since everything was so delicious. Be sure to save room for the avocado ice cream which is out of this world!

Awesome service and food. I took friends from out of town who had never experience Indonesian cuisine. They loved the food, the ambiance and the great service. I have recommended this place to a number of folks and every one has raved about the food. If you have never tried Indonesian cuisine give Krakatoa a try. I suspect you won’t be disappointed.

Indonesian cuisine was new to us… the co-owner helped us order the right amount of food. The mie goreng with shrimp, corn fritters, and main course chicken were delish. We were not fans of the avocado ice cream. We liked the coconut pancake desert. All in all a great change of pace… a little on the pricey side.
