Beautiful setting with a great view, friendly staff and pleasant music. Carpaccio and mushroom risotto very good indeed, arancini dry and without flavour. When told this, waiter said “Oh” and walked off. Expresso martinis very good. Would absolutely return but please fix the arancini !

I had to ask 3x for drinks that were ordered upon arrival. All the food came at once - every single starter, sushi and main dish as well as kids food. The table was quite cramped. Normally kitchen and wait staff will pace the meal for you. Drinks still hadn’t come even though all the food was there. It was frustrating

From the start to the end, the service and attention to detail was outstanding. Then comes the food, which was sensational. We were intrigued about the PW Corn/Corn/Corn (not a typo) and decided to order it......all I can say is, wow! This alone is a 5+ star dish and was simply divine. A wonderful experience overall, highly recommended and will most certainly return soon.
