The food is always delicious. The new Chocolate Mousse (probably to share) just added to the menu is very delicious. Soo delicious that I could eat the whole dessert without even sharing. The staff are always so obliging, friendly and helpful. Thanks to Daniela and Peter for making our last visit perfect. The beach and water looked glorious in the winter sunshine, and the dogs enjoyed their beacch time with very few people. What a relaxing delectable afternooon.
