    The food was delicious and everything including the amazing sea view made our anniversary very special. I had the best fish in batter I’ve ever eaten and my husband had the Korean belly pork. The desserts were also delicious and the mixed berry eton mess was just perfect. Thank you staff and chef - highly recommended.

    Cheerful but could be cheaper. Service a bit slow but might be new so not that much of an issue. Sticky floor from previous nights adventures! Food was very good though. TV’s in every booth is a great touch.
