    The food was good and their value was just. However, the servers kept forgetting stuff registering one of the items ordered, water refills, bottle of wine ordered. If you don’t reminding the servers for stuff, it’s a great place to lunch with a stellar vista!

    I booked a table in the undercover outdoor area but was given an indoor table squashed in a corner. This was confirmed electronically. Luckily we were able to use an outdoor table but had to leave by a certain time Also, it would be really easy to be given some gluten free bread to eat with the mussels. But not available. The mussels were nice but disappointing because of that. Do better.

    As someone who is gluten free I haven’t had such a poor experience in a very long time. It is absurd that in 2025 a restaurant can not offer gluten free pasta. To add insult to injury, I was offered gluten bread with my meal after the staff clearly knew of my allergy and then no alternative. For someone who is gluten free, I would not go here.
