You need to try the mushroom pasta! So many people talk about how good the lasagna is (which it is), however, their pasta is also incredible. Have one of the best evenings ever!

What an amazing place! Food was lovely, all seafood! The atmosphere is great, but impossible to talk as really loud with live music right next to you. Exceptional service and an overall cool concept with paying what you think it's worth.
