    We were here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Everything was good with 2 minor exceptions…..the oyster shucker had left broken bits of shell in the oyster and the skate wing was very over seasoned. This was the fifth time visiting and would still go again

    First visit and it did not disappoint. Excellent service in a lovely setting. Staff friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Efficient service from all staff with minimal waiting times. Food cooked to perfection and brilliant presentation. Catered well for food intolerance. Will definitely visit again and would highly recommend.

    The fish soup was spectacular. We chose the rib on the bone, unbelieveable. You need to try this restaurant. Lovely bar on top too.

    We had a very good evening. The staff were very attentive and it was no trouble to change our table when we wanted to move. The seafood platter was excellent but a little expensive.As was the wine. However, we would much prefer to pay a little more and receive quality as in this respect.
