We visited twice as it was quite crowded the first time. (Booking is recommended) The food is great we especially loved the PT&G and the ceviche. The drinks were great too, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I personally prefer my aperol spritz with a bit of soda water, and though they usually make it only with prosecco, they were happy to accommodate my request. We’d love to come back next time we’re in Goa. Imma just start with WAAOOHHH... LIKE WHAT EVEN DID I EAT. This place is pure luxury, the food is something crazy experimental, the drinks are absolutely phenomenon. We had dish Hummus dish that had eggplant in it, a fusion that was unexpectedly amazing. Next was this starter I don't remember the name but they say it's the best and most preferred on the menu, and that's true I can assure you. I tried Mango wine cocktail, ohhh boii 🤌🤌 Followed by a beef dish, chicken taco & pork ribs... All of them highly recommended by me to try, you'd be full and honestly the flavours are unique blend. Go ahead guys visit the place and eat your heart out. Pure fine dine level quality, taste of food and cocktails. Chef Jyoti deserves recognition for his creativity and art. Food and drinks delivery was real quick Tried beetroot humus, chicken pizza, beef with caramelized onion on a bed of potato humus Beef burger and the chocolate desert (There exist original names for each of these) Must mention each dish tasted just perfect and was really unique The road access to this place feels avg but once inside the property, it feels nice. There is a rustic feel to this place and there is option of seating in verandah too Prices are €€€ Overall a must visit for me Service is quick and friendly Valet parking is available

Good food with good atmosphere. The staff were attentive and kind. Enjoyed all the food. Did feel it's slightly pricy but still happy. I would suggest the PT&G it was amazing.

Major Letdown at "The Second House," Goa Let me be blunt: save your money. "The Second House" is wildly overhyped and delivers a truly disappointing experience. Our meal was a parade of mediocrity, starting with the mango chia lemonade which tasted suspiciously like bottled juice. The Chicken Tacos were painfully average and bland—our request to make them spicy was completely ignored. To make matters worse, we waited ages for our drinks; the beer arrived only after our starter was completely finished, a clear sign of poor service coordination. When we finally asked for a spicy dip for the bland tacos, the waiter simply ignored us. Even the supposed signature item, the PT&G, failed to impress. The place was overcrowded, yet I couldn't grasp the hype whatsoever. After this awful lunch, I started feeling genuinely pukish. Verdict: Overpriced, under-serviced, and a sure-fire way to ruin a Goan afternoon. Avoid.
