"Great atmosphere for good seafood and a bar night out feeling. They staff are very polite and cordial and the food is quite good too. It could be a little loud, almost like a club feeling on Thursdays and Fridays but I guess there is a crowd that are attracted to that. Overall, lovely place and worth the money."
