What a wonderful culinary experience. We started with a bottle of the Tyrells Doyles Semillion. Later ordering the hot and cold seafood platter for two. A great selection of seafood that we are afraid to say we could not finish however walked away satiated. The service from our waitress Rosie was impeccable as was our view of the ocean lapping the shore. What an amazing way to spend the day.

We had the set menu for $100 including drinks. Absolutely outstanding food, birria taco’s a little too salty but that can be down to the stock being over reduced but still, really really good food and delicious margaritas. I would definitely go back again. Cute little date spot too. Service was also 10/10 and so the cute scouse guy delivering the goods 🌮
