Perfect location even if you don’t manage to catch the glorious sunsets. The service in the evening we had dinner here was exemplary and the food, even though overpriced, was also very good.

The venue is fabulous with terrific views and a pleasant ambience (despite the unfitting 90's playlist). The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was the primary 'let-down' of our experience. Over-cooked chicken and tough, chewy squid tentacles were particularly disappointing. I also felt the meals were overpriced for the size of the servings. To cap this off with a Sunday surcharge and additional 'card' fee was excessive price gauging in my book. Sadly, we are unlikely to return anytime soon.

What a beautiful place with wonderful staff and amazing food! Honestly has been the best place we have visited so far. So rare to find a dog friendly place where they genuinely love dogs. The craft beer selection was fab too. Will definitely be back!

The Restaurant’s position on the water can’t be bettered - amazing. The only downside was that the music was really great and suitable but too loud! We were a group of 9 but found it hard to communicate over the music. Food was excellent, very different, large serves, would suggest smaller size options so different dishes can be tasted? We will be back with our next visitors!
