This restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences, illustrating the thin line between culinary charm and service blunders. Many patrons rave about the welcoming atmosphere, fresh, delicious food, and excellent menu options, with standout dishes like fish bake and skate wing receiving particular praise. However, some diners recount unsettling encounters, noting unprofessional service, rude management, and an uncomfortable rush to clear tables. While the setting is described as inviting and the quality of food commendable, inconsistent service has left some customers hesitant about a return visit. A hidden gem, yet not without its flaws.

We choose this restaurant for our special occasions, and this time it was for our 50th anniversary dinner, which we celebrated with our children and two dear friends of ours. As always, the food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The highlight of the evening was the outstanding performance by the singer Irie J, who truly elevated our experience with top-notch entertainment. View all feedback.

Me, my husband and our 5 year old found this restaurant while spending a couple of nights in Holland-on-Sea. We loved it, such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and staff were great. They welcomed children, and even gave our daughter a balloon. It felt like we were in a restaurant abroad. The service was quick and the food was delicious. We had a really lovely evening and will definitely go back if we visit here again.
