Food was ok, received a sour tasting cocktail which the waitress remade and it was so much better. Service was good!

Great restaurant. Staff very very knowledgeable! Very clear what is and isn't GF on menu with most of menu being GF. Food was delicious and was nice to sit and eat good food and watch the water front.

Very aware of Coeliac. As soon as I asked about the gluten free items the server asked if I was Coeliac and said she would note to the chef so he would be extra careful. Amazing food, drinks and location. Highly recommend.
