    Excellent food and service, I made the mistake of booking to eat at the bar but was placed at the window. A minor issue compared with the quality of the food and the friendly service, thanks to Devi.

    Second time diner. Food and service was excellent .Recommend a visit to this restaurant . My picks were the grilled Kingfish main and the creamed corn side.

    On Saturday night, hostess was completely rude, the food was above average but not fantastic, they also kept pouring flat water every time we ordered soda water. For that price point I expect a lot more. Do better next time.

    This was an exceptional experience. We loved the service and the quality of the food. White anchovies on toast were the perfect starter. Then the steak was to die for! Perfect. We really enjoyed our time here.
