"There is nice variety of vegetables on Tuesdays. Spice shop is big, however check for freshness. Restaurants cook fish."

"Fresh and delicious!
Choose your fish and then grill it at any restaurant. The restaurant will provide you with delicious salad and bread.
Really nice experience"
Dana “D A N A” Amer
"Service was not bad, crab legs were way over cooked to the point of not been able to get a decent piece out of the shell.
Of course, they saw three tourists, so they thought and charged a price as if we were at the Ritz except the settings did not match the prices.
So I will stick to places that understands that customers are for the long term!"
