"Really nice. Stopped here for lunch and the food was good. Really liked the tartar sauce with the fish and chips! Really friendly staff and clean facilities inside including baby change :)"
Rebecca Galang
"Luxurious food in a non intimidating environment. We had two local oysters and mussels in an excellent white wine sauce (pictures), fish and chips with locally caught fish, margherita pizza and a strawberry milkshake. It was all perfecktly cooked. The beach bar looked great and the view along the coast is breath taking."
Thomas Kuschel
"A wonderful place at the beach with super delicious sea food and also pizza and fish and chips. Among other things we had some oysters and the mussels - both were a dream! Warm blankets for cold weather are a lovely touch, although we were lucky to get a place indoors, and even outdoors was well protected from the wind."
