    Last night was an absolute culinary delight. We had the pleasure of enjoying two standout main dishes that deserve special praise. The fish dish was beautifully cooked — tender and flaky, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a vibrant herb garnish that brought freshness to every bite. The delicate sauce underneath complemented the natural flavor of the fish without overpowering it. A truly balanced and refined plate. The steak fillet was another star of the evening. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, it was incredibly juicy and flavorful, topped with a subtle yet punchy chimichurri-style dressing that added just the right amount of acidity and spice. Every slice was melt-in-your-mouth delicious — a real showstopper. As for the cocktails, they were crafted with care and creativity. Both drinks were refreshing and visually stunning, with just the right kick to set the tone for the meal. Whether you’re a fan of fruity or more citrus-forward mixes, they had the balance spot on. We wrapped it all up with a dessert that was just as impressive. Beautifully plated and rich in flavor, it wasn’t overly sweet — just the right touch to end the night. In short: incredible food, fantastic drinks, and a visually stunning presentation. Highly recommended!

    We had a group booking and everyone was really happy with food and service. There were lots of great food options and the hardest part was what not to order. Loved the small plates concept which is ideal for a group. Ambience is great too and staff were excellent on a very busy night.

    I booked for the view and was surprised with the food and service offered. Excellent waiter, professional and friendly 👏. Food was amazing, I didn't expect it to be good since it was described as a bar/ restaurant. I had a very happy experience which i would definitely repeat.
