Fantastic food. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. Quite slow service, but with all the food cooked fresh to order, not too long really. Not somewhere to go if you’re in a rush. That apart, would highly recommend for quality of good.

Really great food and service. Good choice on the menu. We had oysters to start, beautifully fresh and nice choice of accompaniments. We chose 5 tapas to share with bread and side of chips all delicious. I’d definitely recommend, I’d suggest you book in advance it’s always busy.

We ordered the seafood platter which is almost £60. First there were no mussels, then there were no oysters, then they “found” some mussels from yesterday (which tasted dodgy) they said they would add more prawns etc. we asked for a discount for no oysters but didn’t get one. Staff were lovely though.

Because I hadn’t stated at time of booking we were at barstools initially but moved when a table became available. Paella was ok but an expensive bowl of rice with some prawns and seafood in. Two girls working that evening one was quite pleasant the other was curt and unfriendly didn’t smile once maybe she was having a bad day. We are fairly regular customers and when the more experienced staff are working the atmosphere is very pleasant. The food also not as good as in the past

Overall, food, atmosphere and service were great. This will become a regular spot for us. The scallops and the garlic mushrooms were a little underwhelming but at least the scallops were well cooked. Beautiful view and the terrace is a great spot on a summers day.
