    We had a lovely meal the food was fantastic and very tasty. However the table we sat at was very noisy due to a speaker being near the table. Would have be better to not sit near a speaker. Where we found it difficult to hear one another. We would have asked to be moved but it was very busy and no tables were available apart from being outside which we didn't want to do.

    Had a good meal. Disappointed with music which got louder and louder. Plus asked to leave table dead on dot of 2 hours because someone wanted our specific table (plenty of other table options). Main course took 45 mins to arrive so we were v irritated when told if we wanted a pudding we’d have to move table. We left.

    We are local and chose this restaurant as it lists GF food and my wife is a "serious" Coeliac. Our meals were tasty and priced as expected for this prime location and standard of service/menu. Limited real GF options and too many GFOptions listed. The restaurant has many different levels internally with steps that are not easy to see and if you have mobility limitations these are a hinderance as they are not highlighted on the floor. Overall a very pleasant lunch time meal with good polite service, but take care on those steps.

    Great position overlooking the sea. Easy parking. Best to visit if you can and select table before booking, although they will shuffle to suit if they can.
