    Loved returning here, the food and service are excellent. It’s a small menu but it’s authentic and executed really, really well. The service is excellent and the menu and specials seafood is explained and any questions answered. Our most recent visit was a group of four, and we all loved it, and all rated it as some of the best food we’ve had in the area. It’s really reasonably priced too. All in all, a great experience and we’ll be back again in our next visit. The lemon cake is excellent!!

    A very convivial lunch. Food and service first class with a good wine list . A tad on the noisy side which made conversation a little more difficult but didn't stop us enjoying ourselves . We will return
