I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! The service was excellent – the staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. One of the highlights was being able to choose our own fish, which was prepared to perfection. The flavors were incredible, and every bite was a delight. The only downside is that the place is a bit on the noisy side, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be coming back!
