Unfortunately the food was disappointing We ordered the meat platter and the lamb had no taste and the other meats were average. Since the change of ownership the food quality has declined. We have been twice since then to give it a couple of chances but we won’t go back. It’s a pity as it was one of the best eatery in the island.

Made a special occasion reservation for 8 guests and we enjoyed a great meal. Attentive but unimposing staff did well proactively providing table water, and the main course delivery was impeccable and nicely timed. We enjoyed the classy but relaxed atmosphere and would be eager to recommend the establishment.

We went early, so not many people were there. We ordered the spicy seafood linguine, the mussels were cooked to perfection and the rest was just yum. I would recommend
