    Staff not very helpful spent most of their time chatting to each other. Comment of standard of one of the meals was shrugged off instead of being addressed. Such shame as the location and high standard of this private beach is excellent.

    The beach breakfast served in the restaurant was delivered with enthusiasm and was very tasty. The coffee order lagged the food which was dissapointing.

    Enjoyable meal with fantastic view. Lunch menu a bit limited and perhaps maybe extend a bit or have daily specials?

    We had breakfast this morning . Sat on the balcony with a wonderful view of the sea. The food arrived promptly and was absolutely delicious! The staff couldn’t have been nicer and so accommodating. Would thoroughly recommend and will be returning soon.

    The setting is the draw, to then find that the quality of our roast beef Sunday lunch was first class. Despite it being incredibly busy outside upon the beach, the ambiance was calm inside the restaurant: Lovely staff. Enjoyed the music. The coffee excellent. Loved it, full credit to the owners and team. We will certainly be back... often.
