Cons:

• "The hake was average - I think prices are punching above their weight!"
• "I don’t usually complain but when you’re served 2 monkfish dishes one as dreadful as the other."

• "Service a bit slow and inattentive - starters of oysters, moules mariniere and squid were all very tasty but mains were expensive and disappointing."
