    This cute but extremely noisy venue detracted from the food which was well presented and tasty. We decided not to have dessert because of this. On asking the staff how they tolerated the noise they said they wore ear buds!! Says it all! I advise to sit outside if you can and weather permits!

    Unfortunately the food was disappointing We ordered the meat platter and the lamb had no taste and the other meats were average. Since the change of ownership the food quality has declined. We have been twice since then to give it a couple of chances but we won’t go back. It’s a pity as it was one of the best eatery in the island.

    Made a special occasion reservation for 8 guests and we enjoyed a great meal. Attentive but unimposing staff did well proactively providing table water, and the main course delivery was impeccable and nicely timed. We enjoyed the classy but relaxed atmosphere and would be eager to recommend the establishment.

    Perfect night with great food. The concise menu makes for easy choices that you know will have been perfected. The wine selection is impressive and the cocktails delicious. You couldn’t ask for more.
