Seafront seafood restaurant. Fairly modest surroundings, with the most excellent tasting fayre. The halibut was full of flavour, served with a delicious mushroom sauce which complimented it perfectly. We visited on an evening in November, so inside tables only. There aren't very many and they we're all taken, so advanced booking advised.

The staff are all polite and friendly. The food was served quickly with minimal time between courses. All our meals were delicious, pan fried bass, and the languinis can be recommended. will definitely return.
