Pimm’s spritz was so good we went home and made our own!
Try the famous Salty Dog Prawns, Apparently they have been on the menu for 27 years, and rightly so!
This is the sort of place that we can see ourselves enjoying many cocktails in the sun on a kid free day!
I treated myself to scallops and pork belly to start with and I continued with Tagliatelle and local lobster. I loved all of it! Never had the lobster covered in cheese, it was so delicious!
Finally the service and the ambience: very friendly staff and regularly checking if it was everything good. The restaurant itself seemed beautifully renewed recently and their external area is also lovely on a sunny day!
Highly recommended!!
The food was very expensive for what it was, it didn’t have much taste. The starter risotto was quite big but very bland and the steak with scallop and prawn main was not cooked very well. We asked for rare but it was definitely medium and it was very chewy. Scallops cooked well though!
Not sure we’ll be back!
