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.

I love this stylish venue, situated literally at the edge of the sea. I always request a window table, the better to watch the rise or fall of the tide as I eat (although the clever placement of mirrors around the room allow 'inside' diners to enjoy the view as well.) The staff are unfailingly charming, from the friendly hello to last goodbye. And the food is always interesting and delicious. It's particularly good if you enjoy fish and sea food of course, but there are enough alternative dishes to keep most people happy. There's an extensive wine list, with offerings to suit every budget and taste.
