A relaxing summer evening watching the sun set over the water. We shared the burrata and focaccia, then had delicious oysters and Grim Cape eye fillet ,a delicious prawn curry and rice and an amazing gnocchi,which I never normally order anywhere ,but it was fantastic. There is an interesting room inside if the weather is too hot or raining . food was great and lovely efficient service

We chose to have lunch at YOT Deck so we could stay afterward to enjoy Lisa Hunt’s performance. It turned out to be an absolutely fantastic afternoon! The combination of great friends, delicious food, and Lisa’s incredible performance made it truly unforgettable. Once again, she was outstanding!
