"I loved this restaurant. Without doubt the best restaurant we found in the area. Table cloths, excellent presentation, friendly staff who made our holiday that little bit extra special. Toilets spotlessly clean. I mention this because some other restaurants in the area fall short in this area. Fish, garlic shrimps, meat and wines are all great. I really believe you couldn't go wrong here. Staff are very attentive and work hard but sometimes it does get very busy. My favourite restaurant in this area. They would encourage me back for another holiday in this area that overall suits my needs well. Well done to everyone working here"
