"We had a lovely family meal in the restaurant.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the staff were polite and nice, the views were amazing.
It was very quiet when we arrived, but the restaurant slowly filled in as the night progressed.
I had the most amazing grouper with pistachio crust ever! I absolutely loved it!
They have a good selection of single malt whisky and a decent selection of gin.
The cocktail presentation was beautiful.
The only issue was people smoking on the terrace as the restaurant opened the roof in the evening. It was just unpleasant to eat my dessert, smelling cigarettes. I personally think smoking should not be permitted in the places where the food is served."

"Very interesting, nice, classy restaurant with a unique location over the bay. An experience in any weather. Good food and extremely friendly service. The impression is somewhat spoiled by unnecessarily loud music with very poor quality reproduction."
