    The food and service is excellent, and the environment is relaxed. They make a mean Marguerita! I think there are minor adjustments to flavours I would suggest. For example a special on prawn starter - succulent, plump prawns - but the sauce - not complimentary at all. Also, the mussel started suberb, but the sauce could be less creamy and punch with much more flavour...just suggestions

    Delicious food but beers are pricey and music is quite loud. Great service from our waiter.
