    The atmosphere was relaxed but vibrant. What a treat to sit and look out over the sea while eating gorgeous food. I had the calamari and the sea bass and it was superb. The staff were friendly and attentive.

    So food is amazing, really tasty. Before we explain lol we asked to take a seat on the deck before our table was ready and they said it’s table service but it took nearly 30mins to get a drink and we had to go back up to the bar to order as they had forgotten us ;( our intro to the menu was very basic compared to the service on the table next to us they had a full explanation of everything. Not a biggy but we felt left out. Then an optional ! Service charge of 12.5% was added to the bill without us being aware. We worked it out when we left. No wonder their service is not as good as expected. Although food was very good the cost of a burger that was just a burger was a bit much. But hey you live and learn. Not a cheap night out ;) service could be better
