The views from this restaurant on the first floor across the harbour are amazing, the food is reasonably priced and is good quality. Would highly recommend a visit for the views alone, good food and beer is an added bonus. In the summer it is great to be able to sit out side and watch all the boats and ships going by.

An amazing view for a decent price. You can sit and watch the boats go by in the bay while you have absolutely delightful food. Our waiter Henry was extremely courteous--he gave great recommendations, was attentive when appropriate, and gave us space to enjoy the meal as well. He helped make the experience just that much more top notch, I really felt I was in a fancier restaurant between the atmosphere, the waiter's eye for detail, and the well-cooked food. The seabass with fennel salad was incredible--perfectly cooked fish, a generous portion of lime, and the salad had a lovely complex flavor

Very nice pub, right on the harbour sea front. Staff were really friendly. Very good choice of drinks. Prices are high. Over 12 for two pints. The pub on the other side of the road is considerably cheaper and also nice.

We had a lovely family lunch here after a dip in the sea. We love the fact that you can just watch the world (and ferries) go by. Lovely seating inside and out and a good menu to choose from. We had Mushrooms on toasted brioche, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, and the gorgeous burgers. Lovely friendly staff too. Well worth a visit!

Fantastic pub in the old town. Great views overlooking the bay. Its a Fullers pub, it was so clean and the food was amazing. They have a great selection of beers and wines. A lovely beer garden, and some great seething inside over looking the bay.
