    6.5/10

    Very friendly service, mediocre food. Way too much sauce on the meat, soggy fries which we returned and a bland boring salad with no dressing and taste.

    The food, one of the best linguini I have had - the food was out of this world - worth the wait

    Beautifully tender octopus washed down with an excellent vino verde. Very friendly and helpful staff and on Saturday night a crooner singing In the Ghetto while sitting in a quite exclusive looking community of huge villas.

    The menu choice was very good and all dishes were well presented. Service was very friendly and efficient. Unfortunately there was no atmosphere as only one other table was occupied. Maybe will go again on a busier night.

    The restaurant is nicely decorated with interesting features. The kids really liked it. Service was very attentive and professional. Food was excellent, every dish we had was delicious and large portions. We had prawns in garlic, salted mushrooms, the house steak and chicken dishes and black pork kebab. All highly recommended. Kid's menu meal was quality food freshly prepared. The house red wine was good and great value.

    Family staying and we introduced them to this local gem. On this occasion there were few diners but the service, food and ambience were just the same. Can 100% recommend this for a special meal. It seems the lunchtime menus are popular too, always many cars and vans outside.

    I visited with two friends on 14/12/23 - a Th ursday night. We were aware of the fact that the restaurant had in the past been a workers cafe and indeed is still very popular at lunchtimes. We also knew that they were aiming for a different menu and clientele in the evening so we thought we would give it a try. So glad we did. The service and food was fantastic. Not the cheapest but definitely worth going. We will be back.

    What a fabulous night. We have driven past here during the day when it’s very busy so decided to give it a try at night. The food was amazing and the staff were very attentive it was just a shame there weren’t more people in. We will definitely be back
