    Brilliant customer service - we were made to feel very welcome and were well looked after throughout our meal. We shared a grilled lobster which was delicious- but were spoilt for choice with the menu. Loved the cup of chowder as a starter! An added bonus was being able to bring our dog. Can’t wait to go again- delicious food representing real value for money. Thank you

    We booked for a lunch as most evenings were fully booked. Unfortunately we had a noisy, rowdy party nearby which slightly spoilt the experience. Overall the food and service was excellent. I wish I could say it represented good value but on the whole most dishes were quite expensive. Overall a fairly pleasant experience.

    We called on a Sunday night 7pm. Great venue and friendly staff. The choice of seafood was fantastic. My only complaint is the price of the drinks. I go drinking occasionally down Manchester and don't even pay £6.99 a pint and £4 for a coke, wow. Draft coke is just watered down syrup. My friend has a pub, he tells me the mark up on soft drinks is massive. But besides that the food, which is why we called, was fantastic. My boy loved the lobster. I would definitely recommend the food. Matt
