   The service was 10/10. The food slightly lower quality than expected. The beef brisket and the taco burger were delicious but all the fried food was still too oily. I'd definitely go back again but I wouldn't get anything deep fried!

   Firstly, the customer service we received was absolutely commendable from the moment we were greeted by FOH all the way through to each and every waiter/waitress we encountered. We ordered the surf and turf tacos, calamari, and glazed pork belly strips for starters - plus the surf and turf meals with king prawns and octopus and absolutely everything was cooked to perfection and so flavourful. I also had the strawberry and chilli daiquiri which suited my palate perfectly. If you like sweet drinks that aren’t too strong, this is definitely a must-try! We were stiffed by the time it came to desert so we didn’t get to try on this occasion but I will definitely be coming back to sample the famous cheesecake! A fantastic experience overall - a true exemplar of good food and good vibes.

   I do not recommend this restaurant at all. We went there based on the menu we saw on the website, when we got there it was not the same thing or the same prices. the starters were good but the main course we had a main course for €40 with 8 shrimps only and a steak. not even a side dish like fries for that price! not even a sauce to go with the steak! same for my partner who had a main course for €55 just the main course!! not even fries or a sauce just a bland steak and half a lobster with practically nothing to eat in it! nothing to say about the staff they were very nice. Desert was good. then new surprise at the end on the bill. the total was about 160€ which is already very expensive for 2 people without even having consumed alcohol and without having practically anything to eat in the main course. we discover that there is a 10% mandatory tip at the end which in general is not an obligation so we had to pay 16€ more just for tip. it is unacceptable

   We had a lovely family meal here before the panto. The kids loved the calamari and the cheesecake. The lobster roll and the fillet steak were top notch. Service was friendly and fast. 10/10

   Booked on a busy Saturday night They called to ask if we could push our time out by 30 mins, but realistically it was 45mins Food is outstanding, but medium rare was closer to rare Had the Octopus & Steak, the best Octopus I've ever had Sides were generous enough and the cocktails were great Staff were friendly and attentive even though they were flat out

    Food was extremely poor and overpriced. Steak was extremely tough and we asked for medium to well. Seemed like a cheap piece of meat. Would never come here again.
