Waitress was rather miserable and service poor. Prawns over cooked, scallops over cooked. And served coke in a can on the table - not what we would expect.

This place is truly a hidden gem. During the day, it offers stunning views in a charming setting, and by night, the cozy fire creates such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food tonight was absolutely delicious—flawless from start to finish. And the service? Always friendly, with prompt and attentive staff who make the experience even better. See you again soon!
