My whole family love this restaurant. Antonio the owner is simply a perfectionist, the service is excellent even when very busy.

The service is very friendly and highly efficient. Cannot recommend too highly. They have fairly recently taken over the bar across the road and it operates to the same high... More

Recommend you book 24 hours in advance and place your order for the duck house special or other delights they offer. The El Rio pancake, lemon salmon, steak were all lovely and at excellent prices for such food. They offer an excellent... More
