Our visit with friends today was an experience of two sides. Location very good overlooking the Bay and the service and promptness from the Waiting Staff was excellent. On the negative side the Gnocchi served was just luke warm and was tough, like eating rubber balls. The serve of Prawns seemed to lack substance, and the cost of the Scallops was exorbitant. As mentioned, the service was good, but the table locations were so cramped, that each time the Waiters were serving other tables they were always brushing against those at our table. Sad to say this experience was most disappointing.

Lovely view & great service however 4/5 dishes were lacking flavour. The King Fish Crudo was a standout dish with us resorting to using the sauce from that dish to add flavour to the other dishes. We felt they required a bit more thought into adding some herbs/spices and citrus etc.
