    This restaurant does uncomplicated, delicious, beautifully cooked food. Relatively short menu but everything sounded great - I fancied everything! The fish I had was fresh and perfectly cooked. The vegetables were also perfect. Everything was hot, straight from the kitchen which was 3 metres away. Waiters were easygoing but efficient and friendly. We were there early before a gig - the Early Bird menu was such good value.

    I absolutely love this place! The ribs are the main reason I keep coming back—they’re simply unbeatable. The food is always amazing, and I truly hope nothing ever changes. Keep up the great work!
