Really nice food all around. I was impressed with the flavour of the vegan pizza as vegan food can be bland. Big cocktail and wine menu so plenty to choose from

The food and service were both excellent on the night we went. We had a butterflied whole sea bass which was cooked on hot coals and it was fab! The waiter was very knowledgeable about the whole menu and did a great job of serving a busy restaurant.

The food was excellent apart from suqet?( think that's how it's spelt) it was way too salty. The waiter said it's heavy with shellfish that's why. Shellfish is delicious and has a fresh taste. It doesn't make a dish salty... , just accept what the customer has experienced instead of condescending incorrect advice.
