    Eaten here many times and it's been faultless. However, one relatively minor gripe this time. My Hake was slightly overcooked, probably a minute, and hadn't been pin boned properly. Mentioned it to the waiter, who said he'd pass it on. 5 minutes later the Restaurant Manager came over, apologised profusely, and offered us 2 desserts on the house. The rest of the meal was perfect, as usual. Wonderful Prawn Cocktail, perfect Monkfish/sauce/vegetables. Excellent wine, perfect service.

    At the risk of repeating myself on a regular basis. Perfect. Tried the Express menu and great value with beautiful ingredients cooked with care and great presentation. Never fails and all the Team are lovely.

    Fantastic food. We had oysters, king prawns and the Tuna steak and it was all fantastic. Staff were lovely and the Chilean Sauvignon Blanc was a perfect match.

    Excellent as always. I had oysters with vinegarette followed by fish curry - delicious. Delicate and fragrant. My husband had prawn curry which was very good- spicy and flavoursome followed by plaice, jersey potatoes and asparagus. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

    This is the 4th time I’ve been here. Service (Dale) was amazing attentive and made us feel special. The food was outstanding and it was an honour to watch the chefs work and they also checked in to see how the food was and were so lovely. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! It’s a special treat for the platter but it’s what I always order. Thank you team 🤍
