"It has delicious food and nice sea view."
Tesfay Gebregiorgis
"Went there for dinner with friends who were hosting us for the weekend. The location is very nice and the hotel has a nice decor. The antipasti and primeri were nice but then it took them an hour to bring the fish, which was clearly rushed as they didn't descale the fish, I was still picking them out of my teeth later that evening. So while the dinner started well it went downhill fast."

"An excellent experience right next to the water. The wait staff made wine suggestions and told us about the region where our wine was from. We arrived at the beginning of the night and our service was quick and the food was delicious. I will have to cisit this restaurant again this summer to experience the outdoor setting."
