Super restaurant but food is slow - I guess just a victim of being too popular. If you are relaxed about how quickly you are fed it’s very good! Would go again

Great restaurant in a nice location overlooking the small harbour. I had three scallops to start, followed by the beef (bocconcino?), and Tiramisu to follow, with a half bottle of Chablis. Great service and good value. Would definitely return.
