    Lovely staff, food good but not special. Reasonable value but wouldn't rush back if I'm honest

    We had been to this restaurant several times last year and it was brilliant . However this time it was not . I had the beef lasagne which was pretty tasteless as they seemed to have cut down on tomato flavouring that is essential in a good lasagne ,I had had this before so knew this was inferior than previously. My husband had the Sirloin steak which he asked to be medium -well done . It was well done he. Old have used it to leather his shoe , terrible. Such a shame .

    This little restaurant provides a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. If you're wanting a quick meal this isn't the place for you. They are a small team and food can take a while to arrive but it is worth waiting for. Good quality food, friendly staff and good prices. Would definitely recommend a visit or two!

    Excellent food. The steaks are the best we have had in the town. The waiting staff are attentive and friendly. When it is busy the food can take a little while to arrive, but as everything is cooked to order that is excusable. This restaurant is off the seafront but is an absolute gem of a find. We would highly recommend..

    Very very poor service .Reserved a table and waited 55 minutes and still had not received our main course . We were the only two people to be served. We left. Useless and very disappointing

    7/10

    Enjoyable meal with pleasant and efficient service. Excellent wine recommendation and offering a complimentary port at the end of the meal was a nice touch. However, both the steaks ordered could only be described as “average” , were a little disappointing and not cooked as requested “ medium rare”. The kebabs at a neighbouring table looked good.
