    We enjoyed our lunch and the atmosphere of the restaurant as we were able to sit on the terrace and appreciate the view. However the booking I made seemed unnecessary as no one confirmed our booking on arrival. The waitress was very lovely but did seem a bit under pressure so maybe the other waiter that appeared later should have been there the whole time as the place was quite busy.

    Great restaurant. The food was great just enough for brunch and very tasty. Our waitress was brilliant. The only thing I will criticise is the noise level. There was a DJ who was playing some really good upbeat music but it was just way too loud. We wanted a girly chit chat/catch up and had to shout at each other! I ended up with a headache. Shane as everything else was so good. They just need to turn the volume down a bit!
