“ Well we came across this restaurant by chance because a lot of the restaurants hadn't actually opened up yet for their evening service. I absolutely couldn't fault the food. We eat out a lot when we are on holiday & we had a wonderful meal and the service and quality of the food was delicious. We ordered mains of moules and salmon. I've seen other reviews now whilst writing mine & I'm quite taken back there are some low reviews. The staff work exceptional hard in sweltering heat and try to do their very best to speak English and help us under there menu. This restaurant actually had a translated version of their menu again which is extremely rare. We would definitely go back. ”
“ Huge portion of mussels and the basque chicken was yummy and very large and filling. Good quick service and nice location. Enjoyed. ”
“ We were looking for a place to have small dishes but we ended up here and order menu, only one. It was nice of the owner who allowed us to order only 1 for 2 people. The food quality is average but not bad. ”
“ Great family lunch! The food and service was perfect! We will definitely come back when we are here! I had the veal, my wife had the shrimps, my son had the hamburger, and our grandson enjoyed the show. ”
