What People Say

"Without a shadow of a doubt the best service I have had at a restaurant anywhere in the world."

Reviewers consistently praise the exceptional service and delicious food, highlighting the cozy atmosphere.

"Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent! Sashimi platter, taquitos, pan fried John Dory, ceviches, breads were all lovely and well made and presented. Nice spot on the harbour. Not a budget spot but everything was quality. I only managed a few pics as too focussed on eating"
