Sunday lunch was amazing. Good size portions as well . Service was a bit sparodic but they were still polite and helpful. Maybe just needed to explain the process once we sat down as we were first time customers.

The food was exceptional. We all cleared our plates as it was delicious. Presentation of the Sunday dinner was excellent and more than enough for us hungry girls.

Wait time was rather long although we were a big party so that maybe why? Mixed thoughts on food some enjoyed whilst others weren’t impressed.

Good menu choices and variety of drinks on offer. Great sea views from our table. Service was efficient when taking orders but slower when it was time to leave. Need sharper knives for the flatbreads though!

Food was absolutely lovely and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be going back again, and would highly recommend to others. We were lucky to have a table in the window, and with the sun shining, made for a beautiful view. Thank you.

Arrived for Sunday lunch expecting a full main menu as well as a Sunday roast option as it seems to indicate on the website only to find that it was Sunday roast only. Although the food was ok I was not Impressed by the limited choice provided.

Disappointed that the menu has changed from last time we were there a couple of months ago. We waited quite a while for the food to arrive and no one explained why or apologised. However when it did arrive the meals were OK. The 3 for 10 small bites are not as good value now, one that I chose in error was 3dips and a few small tortillas.

Very disappointed. Our family have been long wanting to go here so decided to pop in last Friday. First of all, the reservation that I booked right here wasn’t showing there. The menu - unless you like cheese and mushrooms, very little choice for the vegetarian. Hardly anything for my lactose intolerant wife. The starters - took an age to come then eventually presented with 3 tiny ones for a tenner. Combined they would have been a decent starter. Mains - again, took ages to arrive. A tenner for some very dry ‘shredded’ pork stuffed in a burrito with rice. No black eyed beans. No sauce or sour cream. The meat was cut up into big chunks. A tenner!!! Had to order chips on the side to fill us up. Your usual kids menu of sausages or fish fingers wih chips or mash, not a green vegetable in sight. It cost £65 for two adults and a child which I hunk is outrageous. A real shame as the concept, the position of the restaurant etc. is great. However, an overall disappointing visit and a typical example of a restaurant getting away with poor service, food and prices. Won’t be back.

The food was delicious although my partner got the wrong order but they gave us 50% his meal. The service from one waitress was outstanding but the others within the reserved area were lacking. Would definitely return though.
