We stopped by after hearing positive recommendations and weren’t disappointed. The waterfront setting created a lovely atmosphere, while the meals arrived fresh, generous and full of flavour. The team were welcoming from start to finish and made us feel genuinely appreciated as guests. We’d happily recommend it to family and friends.
The location alone makes this place worth visiting, but the food and service were equally impressive. We enjoyed a long lunch overlooking the water, with fresh seafood and beautifully prepared dishes throughout. Staff were attentive without hovering, creating a relaxed atmosphere that made the afternoon incredibly enjoyable.
Our group had a wonderful lunch here over the weekend. The menu offered something for everyone, the desserts were excellent and the drinks list included plenty of local choices. Sitting by the water made the experience even more memorable, and the friendly service completed a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
