It’s definitely worth it for the great live music and atmosphere, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. But the prices are a bit steep and I found the fish from the fish and chips a bit bland, some more seasoning could have gone a long way. I’d say it’s worth going once to see what it’s like and enjoy a nice date, but it’s not a place I’d become a regular at.
