What a great experience! The food was great, lots of flavour, well cooked and perfect portions. The atmosphere was also great, if I do have to criticise something is that our table was a little close to the overhead speaker and the music was a little loud. But after a few glasses of the house wine, we forgot about it! Great service and hospitality, would easily return and recommend.

What a treat to sit in the lovely autumn sunshine being offered excellent service by Emmanuel and others and eating delicious food at good value prices. Menu has sufficient variety for everyone to make choices. Wine specials were great value too. We didn’t manage to have some oysters but what a good deal together with the bubbles special on offer. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff including upping and downing the blind so we could enjoy the sun without it being too hot. We’ll be back and very glad we made the 45 min drive to Seapoint - well worth it.
