“Visited at lunchtime, we had rock oysters and kentucky soft shelled crab to start, scampi and the cajun tuna, and shared the mango cheesecake sundae. All the food was very good, well seasoned and presented. The star of the day was the tuna, it was outstanding, served rare, the sear and seasoning was perfect. Highly recommend and will visit again.”

“Had such a brilliant meal here last night. The setting is stunning, looking out over the harbour, perfect for when the sun is setting. The staff are all very friendly and service was super quick, given how busy it was. But the real winner was the seafood - it tasted so fresh and delicious and the prices were really reasonable. Highly recommend the cold seafood platter and the salt and pepper squid.”

“Went there today - booked a table for 2 on a 4pm Slot. We were greeted by Charlotte who was also our waitress! She was amazing. Instantly built rapport with us, was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive without being annoying! Just her alone would make us want to go back but also the the food was great. We had three courses all very good and reasonably priced. also a lovely view across the harbour - Should you go? YES!”
