The staff were absolutely lovely, great location but unfortunately for a venue on the water I wouldn’t count on having a seafood dinner. The seafood linguine came out in a Napoli sauce… if you know you know The seafood food also overcooked and tough. Seems like such a missed opportunity to to have a beautiful place on the water, beautiful view but not invest in a menu of fresh seafood. Even to have something simple like fresh oysters would’ve been amazing.

Food was excellent, just did not get the vibes or views I was expecting at all having been seated to the side of the venue. you will either get a great view of san remo or a pretty average view to the left of the pier.

Venue is well located right on the water overlooking the San Remo bridge. Venue is quite modern with friendly staff. Food menu is quite comprehensive and food quality is excellent. We attended on a Saturday night and it was a little busy. Food can take a little while to come out but let me tell you it was worth the wait. Good portion sizes and excellent quality and flavours. Well done and thanks for a great night.
