We just celebrated my wife's birthday by having a fantastic seafood spread. This included lobster, prawns, squid and seabass cooked in styles of our choice. It all was excellent and flawless. The staff are all very attentive to our needs and friendly. A long wine list and cocktails available 👌. The atmosphere was so romantic and memorable for the Wife. They even served a cake and sang to celebrate the occasion. All around fantastic. 👍👍👍👌👌👌
