Delicious fish of the day, meat, soup, and seafood rice. The portions were very big — the seafood rice is easily enough for two people, you can order just one. The soup portion was also very generous and absolutely delicious. I couldn’t even finish half of it. The service was fast and of a very high standard. We will definitely come back again.

The location is quite nice on the ocean front with the sound of waves in the background 🌊We took the tuna bacon cream main, it was fresh with a new twist compared to the other dishes we ate elsewhere. There was a band singing in the background🎤 The waiter was friendly and attentive and offered us a taste of the local grog and punch. The plates are more expensive than the average on the island but the atmosphere justifies it.

Quite disappointed with the dinner, I sat down and waited for over 30 minutes for my bread and butter, the waiter did suggested to split my order in two courses as I ordered two starters - soup and percebes. However the percebes came first, then plate was returned to the kitchen as the soup supposed to be served first. The second time the percebes arrived at the table were stone cold, I returned the plate to the waiter and the 3 rd time the percebes arrived to me, they were destroyed - imagine a seafood so delicate and delicious was cooked 3 times and just unbelievable the audacity of serving them 3 times. Three tables around me already had left as they have had their food, I was left with big disappointment and terrible experience. When shared with the manager and asked for the bill he did offer a digestive on the house but it was too late the situation to be fixed. The other tables looked happy maybe just my luck of being the table that order will be mistaken, don’t really know. For the prices service should be better and on top of the every table.

I was quite disappointed with this place. I ordered the seafood pasta, but it was a letdown: the pasta didn’t have any appealing aroma or flavor, and the seafood itself was completely minced, so it was impossible to recognize any distinct pieces. I spoke with the manager about it, and he told me that the cook said it’s supposed to look like that. I suppose I can accept that, but it didn’t make the dish any more enjoyable. My dad, on the other hand, was happy with his steak, which was the only positive of the meal. Overall, I would say the restaurant is heavily overpriced for what they actually serve. Additionally, there was a female photographer who was moving around quite actively, taking photos of guests in a rather persistent and attention-seeking manner. The pictures were clearly intended for sale, and when I politely asked if she could offer a better price, she became quite rude and dismissive. It made the whole experience feel uncomfortable and unnecessary ;)

A lovely restaurant with great food and service. The views are amazing! The staff are very attentive and the food menu options are excellent. Remember to book a table in advance especially if you would like a sea view table. Highly recommended : )
