Waited 20 mins for menus Waited 45 mins for first drinks, my wife went to the bar in person and ordered. Asked twice for the bill so left our seats and went to the bar for a drink, 30 mins later the waiter walked-up and asked us to pay. Food was basic and nothing enticing. Nice view from the restaurants if you like cranes and building sites.

The service was extraordinarily poor, took forever to even take a drinks order let alone food order. Our soups came out somewhat cold and the bread rolls with butter came out after I had finished my soup! The main course was fine but the waitress then had to be advised to leave the bread on the table after attempting to remove without asking if we wanted it removed. In fact my wife was still eating the bread at the time. I was continuously closing the outside doors to remove the draft from outside and the staff constantly forgot to close the doors when they went outside. Several patrons were delighted I was closing the doors constantly, to protect from the chill in the air. Overall I would not recommend this restaurant nor would I go back.

Food was very good & you could tell the Chef took his job seriously as you can see into the kitchen. Location is very nice on the water. Service was great. It’s on the edge of a party location with lots of bars, if you’re looking for that.

Had an anniversary celebration dinner at this lovely restaurant. Lovely location & ambiance. My brother-in-law & husband went “fishing” in their selection of the fresh catch of the. Salted Rock fish was an unusual but I believe very tasty suggestion. Being a vegetarian I enjoyed the veg options. Dmitri our server & the chef Mirko were very attentive & helpful too. A lively & lovely dessert celebration of their Tiramisu & Pistachio cake was the proverbial icing on the cake!!
