Get there in a group of four for dinner. We ordered chilled seafood platter, hot shellfish platter, mussels in white wine sauce, fish soup and raw oysters. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The fish soup was so good that you'll sip a large bowl easily. The mussels in white wine sauce were excellent with the specially made sauce. Don't miss the dessert before you go. The watermelon sorbet, creme brulee, chocolate cakes or mousse were extremely tasty.

Last minute plans for a seafood meal had us ring short notice. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and squeezed us in.
The space is warm and friendly and has a lovely vibe. The staff at excellent and clearly love working there.
Every dish was superb from start to finish and the wine was equally good. We tried the house red on the second night and it easily matched higher priced bottles in the wine list.
We can't recommend the place enough :-)

A quaint little restaurant on several levels with a wooden interior. The atmosphere was vibrant and buzzy. A reservation is recommended as it is busy. We went mid-week for lunch and had to wait for a table as no reservation was made!!
The food was delicious. We were a party of 6 and between us we tried most things and it was all great! There is a munch time menu too that is very reasonable.

Went with my son for a late lunch. Lovely inside and there 2 courses for £15 was great. We started with the trout & calamari and then we both had the King prawn curry. The food was all very well presented and excellent. Well worth a visit.
