• "The seafood mix grill is great, absolutely delicious."
• "The provincial fish stew is delicious, (it's not tomato or cream based) and the chef revealed the magic is in the stock."

Cons:

• "AVOID! If you want a decent fish and chips look elsewhere. The chips were cold and the fish was so oily that I could not enjoy it."
• "Came here to try the lobster thermidor. It was nicely cooked but there seemed to be an imbalance of cheese and what tasted like mayonnaise."
• "The cod was nice, but a little over-fried."
• "Only downside was the giant African prawn.it was undercooked, rubbery and not gutted."
• "The food is just terrible, tasteless overcooked."

• "Very expensive."
• "Tricky part came when I asked for the bill and for 2 people I paid £110 (no drinks)."
• "We paid £80 excluding the drinks... definitely not worth the money."
• "When our bill came nearly £70 big difference from £19 each person wouldn't go again very misleading and needed more seasoning."
• "The food is coming late and the food is not cooked well 5 different fishes they test the same not salty enough and very expensive."
• "When our platter came we had fillet sea bass, jumbo prawns couple prawns, medium lobster, goujons, salad platter and taste horrible garlic bread burnt, it taste like lighter fluid, in all we would of like our sea food cooked more longer with more seasoning."
