Mature couple just out for an evening meal, no special occasion. We were seated beside a waiter station which was not very pleasant, You should avoid this table. Tables are very close together, about a foot apart, we could not avoid over-hearing the couple next to us. Service was efficient, but not super friendly. It was our third time eating at this restaurant. Starters were Scallops (good) and Caesar Salad (very good). Mains were Rib eye steak (poor - maybe not a great choice in a fish restaurant) and Scallops in a sauce done in the shell (good but not great, sauce lacked flavoring), Just one dessert Key Lime pie (also good but not great). We had 3 glasses of wine (one of which was very small) and two Gin and tonics to start. Total cost €226.90 for two, very pricey especially as we only had one dessert! I would not be in a hurry back.

It wasn’t a bad experience but I wouldn’t say it’s the best. Main course took quite a while to come and it was cold.
