    Service was terrible it appears that they were understaffed. Ambiance was good however the food was deplorable. To say this restaurant holds itself to be a fish restaurant all the fish we had was overcooked. The steaks the party received were acceptable however the veal had a rancid taste. When we complained after one of our party being sick we received nothing but attitude from the management and said pay what you want knowing that if we did not pay the full bill they would call the police. We will not be frequenting this establishment again

    Staff did a great job on a busy night, and some orders were rushed. But the food was good all the same. With a lovely atmosphere, not my first time there and won’t be my last

    We have eaten here several times over the years and have usually been pleased. This time, not so. The starters and dessert were fine. We both had lasagne for the main course and it was the worst one both of us have ever had. There was no lovely rich tomato sauce between the layers of pasta which meant that the meat was very dry. I’ve made better lasagne myself and bought better from a supermarket.
