Came twice to the restaurant within a week and had the Fish and Chips both times, the food was very good. Such a lovely place for an evening meal unlike the hustle and bustle of eateries in the town. The views from the restaurant over the sea are lovely, get one of the window seats if you can. A nice relaxing place for a meal or a drink.
