    Great service. Beautiful location. Very noisy inside so best to book an outside table subject to weather. The food was excellent quality.

    Very noisy and busy, which detracts from the ambiance, Coffee took a long time to come out. Like only just before the lunch was served. Very crammed inside and hot. Food was nice. Over charged for add ons. Staff were pleasant enough. Over all ok , would go back at a less busy time to appreciate the view.

    It took 45 minutes to be served breakfast after finding our own waitress to order. The food was excellent. The noise level very high hard to make a conversation.

    Good location, very friendly. Need signage for entry as you can get lost finding it if coming from the other side. Also nearly left without paying as when we ordered they did not take our payment at the same time which I thought was odd. The problem the most is walk-ins, all tables are normally reserved and there needs to be someone right at the entrance telling people this not as they are sitting down at the tables.

    Restaurant renovation looks nice, the cafe feels like an after thought with a sliding door that is awkward for customers and staff to get through, it’s quite squishy in there. Staff were friendly, food was alright - not much atmosphere unfortunately was dead quiet when we got in - music was turned on a bit later. If you’re after a quick casual bite with a nice beach view then it’s the perfect place.

    A lively cafe with lovely staff. Service was quick despite cafe being busy for Valentine’s Day lunch. We enjoyed the pizza and great coffee. Wonderful sea views.
