A pub style dining experience with a million dollar view ! Come during daylight to make the most of the experience! The food quality is excellent And there is a variety of different sized meals. Plenty of drinks on offer too. I have eye fillet. The serving was as stated and flavour was spot on. We also enjoyed seafood risotto, calamari and bolognaise. Bread and dips as starts. All very good too.
