    Great, friendly service with a very impressive menu! Our meals were excellent - whitebait to start (big enough to share) and Seafood Linguine for main (fabulous) and served in a timely manner. Very good wine selection and the restaurant has a calm feel. Can’t wait to visit again!

    Really nice food and good service, just ambience that's lacking, dimmable warm white lights would make it more welcoming

    Unbelievably good! Our meals were out of this world. I don’t like fish but my husband made me try his, well I do eat fish now!!! The halibut was incredible, I’ve never tasted anything like it. We will definitely be back.

    Great little find with an excellent menu and good value wines. Table not ready on arrival and although we were offered drinks, an order was never taken. Overall though, a great lunch.

    We had a late lunch about 3:30pm on a Sunday. The restaurant was quite quiet, which was good, as we had the table by the open window. Nice to watch the world go by. We started with pre-lunch drinks, prosseco for my wife, and a small and interesting beer for me. We both had mussels in a cream and white wine sauce. They were extremely good. I had a large glass of sauvignon blanc with them, which was good. We shared a sticky toffee pudding, which was very good. A very enjoyable meal. Would definitely use again, when in the area.

    Absolutely outstanding food and service! Couldn’t have wanted any better. Food is fresh and nothing is too much trouble. Service was amazing, all by herself but handled it with ease. Honestly one of the best meals we have had in a long time.
