    The online booking system works well. Plenty of parking in local streets. The greeting we received on arrival was warm and friendly. I enjoyed the sesame crusted tuna with pumpkin and bean salad. A good size piece of tuna which was well cooked. The salad was a great accompaniment. Will visit again.

    The staff here are always so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is great and not too loud at all, so the perfect place to go out and still be able to have a conversation. The food is absolutely incredible and servings are extremely generous. There is such great variety when it comes to the dishes; my must haves are definitely the fish wings - we get these every time without fail! The Chowder and the Fish Curry are delicious too. Highly recommend.
