We dined here late afternoon/early evening . The dinning area is large and airy and will have a nice view when the building boards are moved once the works are completed in the area. We were made very welcome by all the staff. The food was delicious. It was all fresh, tasty and nicely presented. We particularly enjoyed the octopus. As it was early, there were not many other dinners. Our only slight complaint was that the staff were all very little too quick to clear our table, but that was because they were quiet I am sure. The prices are I think, reasonable.
