"Beautiful restaurant, amazing views looking over the harbour, the sea and the town. Interiors were beautifully decorated and the restaurant was very spacious even with its more compact footprint. My vegetarian friends had no problems with the choice of meals and all of our food was too quality and blew me away considering the price. I would 100% recommend the fondue, I'm not a huge fan of cheese and yet this was one of the best things I've ever eaten, and that's not even an exaggeration. This completely blew my expectations out of the water, defo recommend!"

"This has become one of our favourite places to eat with the kids as they like the food and the colouring menu keeps them behaving! My son asked to go here for his bday dinner, he is 6. He likes the babychinos. His dessert was severed with a lovely happy birthday message."
