    Seafood was reasonable and generally good quality although some shellfush was still gritty. Ambience was vert quiet - maybe just where sat. Kids food looked microwaved - for the price this was poor. Vegetarian options lacked flavour and texture.

    My wife is a Chef and we selected the Copper Clam for our NYE dinner because wanted a special closure for 2024 and we couldn’t have been more certain. The food quality and friendly service is amazing! Really worth the money for a special ocasion!

    Food was lovely especially the monkfish small plate, service could have been better but that quality of food made up for it. Will be going back again

    Very quiet Sunday night, great view, had several seafood tapas style dishes, fresh seafood ( unfortunately run out of oysters). Good wine list with a variety of offerings. Prompt friendly service. Very happy with our dinner.
