"Dolphin restaurant is one of my favorite restaurant in the world.
They specialise with seafood and fish.
The small salad plates are so good.
The Bavarian cream cake is one of my most amazing favourites retro desserts.
The place looks like your in a restaurant at the 80’s and that what makes it unique and magical."

"One of a kind restaurant! Seems like nothig here changed since the 70's including the waiter, the food and the interior, but hey, if something THAT good, why to change anything?! 😃
One of my favorite fish restaurants! Nothing fancy, but super delicious. The salads variety (and quality) is overwhelming.
Especially worthy to go for the business lunch!
Definitely a place to come back.
Highly recommended!"

"The food was decent. We ordered fried crabs, oyesters, and catfish. The oysters and crabs were fresh, but the catfish was overly salty. Regarding service, one of the two waiters was arrogant, while the other was exceptionally nice."

I would like to recommend one overall dish, which is a bit unusual, and that is Dolphin's business, which is served five days a week. True, you can easily be mistaken and think that you have arrived at an oriental restaurant, because the table is covered entirely with saucers with salads.
