Great service but food slightly disappointing

Decided to try out this beautiful establishment and couldn’t fault the friendly service and enjoyed the decor and view. I was slightly disappointed with the vegetarian options as the chickpea dish was more like a soup than it sounded on the menu and the stack...was lacking in flavour. My husband enjoyed his smoked salmon Terrine but his steak was over cooked from what was requested although quality of meat was good. Portion sizes were generous so didn’t have room for dessert.More

Good home cooking

My wife and I visited a few weeks ago. The lamb shanks were divine, and the all day breakfast first rate

Incredible Dining Experience

What can I say other than OMG ! We have dined in many fine establishments but I’d have to say this rates as exceptional. From the moment we walked through the door we were treated like royalty. The decor is Devine. The menu, how did...we decide ...... everything sounded delicious. I chose the Chicken and my husband the Steak. Both meals were incredible, tasty, hot, well presented and of generous portions. I only wish we were staying another night so we could go back. Thank you so much. We will totally recommend your restaurant.More

Really great food, licensed and lovely views. Garden.

Lunch was finished but the cafe offers a warm welcome so Pauline and Barry let us slip in. It was worth it. Delicious lunch at good prices and a beer to wash it down. Doesn’t get any better.

Divine!

We visited on a beautiful evening, so had gorgeous views of the harbour from the restaurant. Very pleased with the menu, good choices for vegetarians. Fantastic customer service, it appeared to be a family run business. The food was enjoyed by all in our family.
