Beautiful setting and pleasant enough staff but unfortunately that's as far as my experience went, food was of a very low standard and very highly priced scallops overcooked squid overcooked whitebait soggy prawns overcooked so much we couldn't even shell them grilled fish soggy and not the freshest either I'm a fisherman and I know what fresh fish is! Was so looking forward to this meal as was a treat for our honeymoon.

The staff and the service were wonderful but were let down by a sub-par meal. The only vegan main on the menu was a panzanella salad that was overpriced and so vinegary it was almost inedible. I left hungry. My partner enjoyed the hummus starter but thought it was expensive. Such a shame as a great view of the harbour and friendly people but wouldn't reccomend.

The nicest thing was the view. The food was awful, the staff looked like they didn't want to be here. Gave off a uncomfortable feel to the place. The squid was like rubber the sauce that came with it had a thick skin layer on top, the scallop dish was awful and burnt the gem lettuce was slimy the side salad was coverd in a dressing that was very bitter. The other main dish was a selection of fish all over cooked, couldn't shell the prawns, squid again was like rubber, the white bait In it was soggy, the grill fish was mush. My husband is a fisherman so we know fish and how fresh it should be
