Amazing location with a great view of the harbour. Meal was tasty and the service was excellent! Would highly recommend. 🙂

There were 8 of us seated after the Nutcracker. We had our choice of the dining room or the bar. We chose a high topper in the bar. To put it simply service was excellent from the minute we were greeted at the door to taking our leave. The food was exceptional with a large and varied menu that provided everyone with what they wanted. Ordering came down to trying for as wide a selection as possible which was easy. My food recommendation - get anything that looks interesting to you. We will definitely come back to enjoy again.

I'm both vegetarian and celiac and you would think I'd have trouble dining here but a true thing is that if a restaurant WANTS you to have a good experience, you can and will. I was accommodated easily by ordering a la carte from what I could see was available. Fresh grilled asparagus, a baked potato and scrumptious grilled brussels sprouts! My friend never cleans her plates and her Dilled Salmon with asparagus and garlic fried rice and asparagus were fully enjoys with a tiny amount to take home with a few sprouts. We had a great time.

Food was excellent as always, however, the Thurston Wolfe GSM [Grenache Syrah Malbec? not the Mouvedre used in southern France) that was recommended by the bar as a substitute for the Tempranillo did not fly well with the meat dishes. The Corsican vermentinu was excellent with the fish dishes - crisp, dry. The dessert carrot cake is what all carrot cakes dream to be, the gingerbread ice cream is spicy, and the chocolate garnache is for chocaholics!

The food and service were excellent. The only complaint I have is that the lights were WAY too bright. When one has an evening meal in a lovely setting - it shouldn't be necessary to wear a ball cap so the lights don't glare in your eyes. Besides the regular hanging lights which were pretty bright - there were can-lights in the ceiling with very strong bulbs in them. This really ruined the ambience. Made it feel more like we were dining in a cafeteria instead of a steakhouse. All - in all, that is the ONLY thing that made this meal deviate from being absolutely perfect. The chef even made my salmon well done - as I requested. (I know they don't normally appreciate cooking something differently than what is considered proper.) But, I REALLY appreciated that. The calamari were excellent - fresh and tender. My 'extra dirty' martini was even perfect. This is our go-to place for bringing out of town guests because we know the food and location make it a very special place to eat.
