    Overlooking the sea & beach, with lovely food. There was a really good choice menu & the dishes we had were amazing, big portions (too much for me personally lol) It was my birthday & as always I spend it with my mum. She had the sea bass followed by ice cream & I had the duck & bread n butter pudding with custard for dessert! Was all delicious 😋 would highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were efficient & friendly! Overall a lovely day!

    Wonderful service from start to finish. The four course roast lunch is excellent. If you're in the area then make a date to try, you won't be disappointed.
