We had a wonderful Sunday lunch with a profuse welcome and hugely attentive staff. The food was cooked to perfection and plenty of it. I had indicated it was our daughters birthday and, without any discussion a cake was produced at then and of our meal and everyone sang Happy Birthday! How lovely and thoughtful. I can't praise too highly. We will be back soon!

We happened on this restaurant by chance and am very pleased we were able to secure a reservation. Lovely location right on the harbour with gorgeous views. The restaurant is designed brilliantly so all guests get to enjoy the view. The staff made us feel exceptionally welcome from the beginning. We had our young son with us and everyone made a real fuss off him which immediately put us at ease. Very attentive staff, delicious food and wine. Great menu for children also! Restaurant had such a lovely relaxed vibe. If you love seafood it’s a must. Will definitely be returning.

Beautiful, well crafted and thoughtful food. Really cool ambience and always a great playlist. More lovely cushions or textiles would be my only (very female) feedback. But if you love food and enjoy cooking yourself, then rest assured you’re in the right place 💚
