Tried to put us inside despite tables being available outside. We were told that they(?) had booked…. Clearly so had we but maybe Open Table doesn’t count!!! Took us 10 mins to sort that out, after which service was good. Everything overpriced but good quality.

The venue was lovely, close to the harbour and a terrace table. Our server was extremely pleasant and helpful and gave us a good introduction to the menu and options. The food was extremely tasty and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy a fish meal. Prices were affordable and this great value overall.
