This is one of the best restaurant meals we have had in a long time. Everything we ordered was delicious: three appetizers, octopus, salmon, and scallops; salad; chips, and tiramisu and pane cotta for dessert, with a couple of tasty Italian beers to accompany our meal. The serving staff were absolutely charming and the atmosphere of the little restaurant is very nice. The music, acoustic versions of classic and recent hits, augmented the experience nicely. But again, THE FOOD was so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully-presented, we were delighted. What a find! Generous portions of great value because everything on every plate, even the garnishes, was delicious. Highly recommended!

An absolute (hidden) gem if you love seafood! This place took my oyster virginity and I don’t want it back! It’s an intimate little restaurant offering a variety of fresh seafood dishes, including octopus, whole sea bass and a variety of other delicious treats, I’ve not yet tried 😍 The cocktails are expertly mixed- we requested mojitos. They don’t serve mojitos. We got mojitos 🥹 so yeah, service is top notch too!

I came here as part of a large group on New Year’s Eve. The lad who took care of us, Ewan, (apologies if I’ve misspelled that) really brought his A-game. He clearly knew his menu and his wines and was very helpful with recommendations. His banter was on point as well. Food was beautiful, I had sea bream which was meaty and full of flavour. My friends were a bit more adventurous with octopus and other seafood which they all seemed to enjoy very much. The menu also had options to cater for those of us that aren’t quite so keen on seafood although my top choice, which was beef ragu, was out of stock at the time. Otherwise, great food, great service, great time and would happily come back again in the future!

Visited last night the food was delicious and tasty. A good portion of prawns for starter and then sea bass, chips are home made and then the panacotta best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Very good friendly service.
