They were able to accommodate us at the last minute, even with our children and dog in tow. We were very grateful for that. The children enjoyed dishes like pasta bolognese and a vegetarian option, while the adults savored seafood dishes like oysters, scallops, and mackerel soup. Desserts were delicious. We will definitely be returning and will make sure to book ahead next time!

The food was full of flavor and we had plenty of options to choose from. We enjoyed the soft shell crab, scallops, curry with rice and slaw, sea bream fillets, blueberry and almond tart, and crème brûlée. Each dish was well thought out, and our waiter even recommended extra bread to soak up the sauce from the scallops. We ended our meal with a coffee. The restaurant is not very large, but the staff was very attentive. Located next to the beach, we took our dog for a walk before dining. Despite the upscale atmosphere and prices, we felt comfortable in our casual attire. It is worth noting that a window seat is not guaranteed, and sitting next to a window may provide a different dining experience.

We left very disappointed at 6:05 with no lights on. Do not trust!! Poor, we would like an explanation. Although they took a mobile number we did not receive a call at any point. Terrible service
