"The food was delicious! The service nice and fast. It was perfect with a beautiful view"

"I had never left a review for a restaurant before, but this is my first. Within its own standards, the restaurant was very good. I had the wild seabream, and my partner ordered the seafood pasta.
From the starters to the main course, the portions were generous, the flavors were on point, and overall it was great value for money. Some of the dishes could be a bit oily for some tastes, but nothing overwhelming.
The staff were attentive and friendly, which added to the pleasant experience.
As I said, it’s not the absolute best, but considering its location and the country, I’d say it’s the best restaurant around."

"The food was good, but we had to wait 45 minutes for it. Even after that, we waited longer for one of our four main dishes. While three dishes were served, the fourth one (the fish) was still cooking. Our soups were served between the main meals, along with the potato and salad. Because of the long wait, we missed two buses, so I do not recommend this place. However, the staff was nice, and the restroom was clean"
