    Lovely restaurant and attentive staff. We had a beautiful table next to the window which had amazing views. The only thing was my cod came with no homemade bread as advertised on the menu and i asked for a few decorations on the table as it was Husbands birthday but there was nothing which was a shame but apart from that, we had a lovely time. Thank you.

    I had a lunchtime special 3 course meal with a friend and the food was lovely. The Seabass was particularly good and the Tiramisu was lush. The staff and service were excellent too. I would thoroughly recommend. 😊 The only downside is there is no disability access so one of the party was unable to attend 😔

    Cant think why I haven't discovered this restaurant before, it is really lovely. Not just by the sea but practically IN the sea- perfect view. Good service and good food.

    The restaurant was very quiet,only two other tables were occupied. Having ordered within five minutes some forty minutes later I asked when our food was going to be served, the waitress told us one of the dishes we were waiting for had been spoilt in the kitchen.At no point until I asked how long our food was going to be was I informed there was to be a delay, also in all the time in the restaurant were we asked if we required another drink or if everything was OK. The quality of the food was very average and unfortunately I will not be returning. A dissappointing experience.
