And it was quiet and not busy though it had a tired and scratched vibe to it, so that's probably why. The food was bland it wasn't bad, but it was somehow lacking the taste where taste is usually present (like salmon steak). So it's a decent place for a glass or two, but for food not as much.

We were not disappointed, service was pretty good, the food very good and it's right by the marina. The only issue was the squeaking noise made by the ramp to the pontoon in the marina as the pontoon went up and down with the waves

It is in a good location next to the marina and has a decent range of both food and drink options. My husband had a cheese and tomato toastie which was fine except that the bread wasn’t really toasted! I had the almond and sugar cane syrup pancakes, which were very nice although having whole almonds scattered around as the almond component was a little odd. We both had a smoothie: my husband’s tropic one tasted nice but was quite watery whilst my pina colada one was definitely full of pineapple! Our group as a whole had similar “ok but not great” reactions to their food to be honest. Service was friendly if not particularly fast; our server spoke excellent English.
