“ The place is beautiful, clean and neat. The parking guard outside was helpful assisting outside. Staff is friendly, helpful and always close by to assist and would check in regularly if we were ok. The food was fantastic, we had calamari and trinchado for starters and moved on to ribs and prawns for maincourse. We unfortunately had no space for dessert but will definitely be back to try it. ”
