Customer Review Summary
The criticism is more specific than the praise. One Valentine's diner found the prawn skewer starter and the lobster cold, the sea bream bony and the potato undercooked, and called the meal overpriced. Another was told cocktails were half price until one time, then told it was earlier, and two replacement cocktails came back flat. One felt the shrimp lunch lacked variety in flavours. Another wanted a bowl of water for hands when eating shellfish instead of a small wipe, and had to ask for the table to be wiped between courses.

“We booked for 5:30 pm on arrival we ordered starters then mains. We received the lot all at once. Cramped most definitely. Delicious food. We ordered drinks along with cocktails. Advised half price until 7:40 ( happy customers). Only to be told when ordering more that it was 6:30. They apologised for wrong information. We ordered different cocktail which was flat and tasteless (returned). Shortly after ordered a further cocktail which was also flat, which also went back. Our day out could have turned out perfect. Doubt we will return.”

“Wonderful seafood and brilliant options. It was a shame not to be given a bowl of water for your hands whilst eating seafood with shells. Small wipe provided isn't really enough for such a hands-on meal. Service was brilliant, really friendly and attentive but also we had to ask for the table to be wiped between courses - would have been nice for this to be standard. Overall a great experience, great location and good food”

“Can't comment on the food yet because I've only had frozen margaritas here, but those are really good and I will be back for more soon. Great service also.”
