Mussel share plate is a must - they were sweet, properly cooked and the accompanying sauce was tasty - we were very pleased with this recommended dish. The pizza was a perfect for sharing between two and had a generous number of prawns and abundance of rocket. The meal was served at a relaxed pace by enthusiastic and friendly staff. Highly recommend a visit.
