    We had such a lovely evening from start to finish. The service was fantastic – warm, attentive and just the right balance of friendly and professional. We shared the seafood platter and it was absolutely perfect. A wonderful variety of beautifully fresh fish, delicious mussels and prawns, and they very kindly swapped the fried calamari for grilled for us without any fuss. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portions were incredibly generous – more than enough for two. And the chocolate mousse… truly to die for! A perfect way to end a really memorable meal. We’ll definitely be back.
