A below average quality food, 2 fish dishes lacked flavour; some parts were lukewarm. Salmon tartar did not have a lot flavour not had quality salmon. The cocktail while expensive was good. I would if you are looking for quality food seek elsewhere and in our experience any random place outside of touristy area would be better and with research def can find much better

Always enjoy being there, the food and service is always great. The only problem was, as the weather was so hot, it was a little uncomfortable.

Food and table service was good. However, experience was marred by Manager informing us at 1.50pm that we would need to vacate the table in a few minutes. Our booking was for 12.15pm and we understood it was a 2hrs sitting. The issue arose as I arrived 10 minutes early. Had I known I would have waited outside until 12.15pm. Our booking still had at least 20 minutes to run until 2.15pm - it seems inflexible to ask us to vacate while guests still had wine in their glasses. When we left there were a number of empty tables around us. I appreciate this is a busy time for hospitality, however, this really spoilt our Christmas lunch.

The venue was lovely, close to the harbour and a terrace table. Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful and gave us a good introduction to the menu and options. The food was extremely tasty and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a fish meal. Prices were affordable and this great value overall.
