What a wonderful place. We had the mussels as a starter and it was great. My husband had the fillet steak and he said it was the best he ever had! I had the rump steak one night and fresh local fish the second night and it was amazing too. Delicious panna cotta. Great local wine. We ended up going two nights in a row and we were very well pleased both nights. Service was excellent. Very happy with it all. Definitely recommend it.

Good quality seafood platter for 2 people €52.90 which is inclusive of VAT. They accept credit cards. They may want to upgrade their credit card machine to allow customers to choose the tips option, ie 10%, 20% or others.

Exceptional place. High quality food, excellent domestic wine. Top tier service that makes you want to come back to this atmosphere. The best spaghetti with prawns and steak I've ever eaten. I ate gluten-free chocolate cake with ice cream twice, but I didn't manage to take a picture before it disappeared. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful place! We’ve been here twice and every time it was a perfect experience. I only regret I can’t give 6 stars for service. The man who was serving us was so friendly and even could speak polish. Highly recommend, we will think about this place always
