The food was very of very good quality, however, there was a gap of around an hour and fifteen minutes between our starters and mains, which we felt was quite a long time in between meals.

Exceptional marina and bastions views, very open decor, flooded with natural light and internal greening. The food is exquisite and a nice change. Above all, very knowledgable and friendly service (thanks Dennis!). Family friendly.

Very nice Food experience for a group of 10 at Samizu Restaurant. Service was very good and the food similarly very good. Would definitely recommend this Restaurant. One point that I would comment on is that the noise level in the Restaurant was a bit on the high side.
