The place is as just amazing, the food very tasty, the wine delicious and at the right temperature. The waiter was courteous, knowing every single item in the menu. The view was great. Thank you. For sure we will be visiting again! P.S: thanks for the surprise ‘ Anniversary ’ desert. My wife was delighted by your gesture and by the taste .

The food is lovely but just doesn’t quite get to ‘wow’ status which makes me doubt whether it’s worth the hefty price tag for the normal a la carte menu. On my second trip, I tried the set menu which is more reasonably priced at £35 per person. Starter (fish soup) and mains (pan fried hake) were delicious but the desert was really disappointing it was meant to be a tiramisu but the sponge was hard and the cream was runny like milk. Service can be a bit off too it can be very busy and it can feel hard to get attention when you need it.

We did not book, but it was a Monday and took a chance that we would get a table. We were lucky and were given one overlooking the harbour. It was perfect. Staff and food were excellent and we would definitely return if we were in the area.
