    I've been looking forward to trying out this place since it opened. I came with my parents for Father's Day and was glad to see a range of folks, families and couples coming in too. The service was perfectly attentive and warm, lots of great recommendations on wine and food. I would only suggest a wider range of soft drinks for those unable to drink alcohol. I had a fruity mocktail which was basically fruit juice and mint... Maybe having Seedlip or other botanical non alcoholic options offer something more sophisticated to go with the high level of cookery. The food was incredible! We all had fish, Hake, Skate wing and swordfish, all really fresh and seasoned beautifully. Though the swordfish had a lot of salty elements with capers and olives so maybe could have be seasoned more lightly as I was very thirsty all evening after it! But very tasty nonetheless. I highly recommend this lovely establishment, adding to the great variety of restaurants in Stokey.
