    The venue was lovely, close to the harbour and a terrace table. Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful and gave us a good introduction to the menu and options. The food was extremely tasty and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a fish meal. Prices were affordable and this great value overall.

    Food was tasty and full of flavour. Service was not great, staff were mostly pleasant but restaurant was very busy and I think understaffed. We waited a long time for our drinks. We also asked for water, which we received after our meals were finished. Good food but don’t go at busy times. We asked 3 times for the bill and in the end we just went up and got it as we had to go to a show.

    This was our wedding anniversary. Staff were helpful and friendly. Food was amazing. A bit of noise from the bar downstairs but not intrusive. Cruise ship was delayed and ended up parked outside our window. We were grateful that the restaurant refunded our booking fee. All in all a great night, very happy.
