    Another great meal in one of our favourite restaurants. From the outset the service was oiutstanding; all the staff are very nice, professional and friendly. The food's excellent, two of the highlights being the oysters and the skate. Highly recommended.

    Amazing food! I booked the 'Festive Party Menu', the Rocksalt fish soup was full of flavour and the dark chocolate mousse was the best dessert I have had in a while. Lovely views and Christmas decorations. I would definitely recommend to a friend and would love to return in the summer.
