“ Absolutely love this place, food is always excellent. Seafood platters, burgers are all amazing. Good cocktails. Friendly staff. Highly recommend midweek or weekend ”
“ Had the 1/2 lobster and prawns and mussels seafood platter there. Lobster is really fresh and taste good when it’s hot. Happy hour 5-6pm deal is amazing. Kids meals eat free and 20% off the food. Cocktail and pints are good deal. Ribs we order are massive and we have to take away half of it. Nice little restaurant and good service. We had a good evening there. ”
