The food here is fantastic, the bugs were delicious - melt in the mouth - cooked to perfection - came out of the shell so easy!!! The marinara is packed full of a wide variety of seafood - awesome flavour. The terrace dining makes for a quite relaxed environment, but I'm sure later in the evening it's energetic. Our visit was pre-concert, so timing was of the essence, we arrived at the concert easily on time.
