    Exquisite food in a beautiful setting. Our waitress was attentive and informative. We started with the oysters, croquettes and the stand out were the prawns. My pipi pasta was superb. My friends had the blue eye fish accompanied by char grilled cos lettuce. This was delicious as well. The menu is small but everything is cooked to perfection. The seating area was intimate but there was a lot of noise that took away from the experience slightly. It would have been great to have more on offer for dessert. But overall WOW WOW WOW.
