It's ok. Not awesome, but ok. The service was very polite, though it took 20 minutes for the manager to see we hadn't had our order taken and then all of a sudden service was everywhere.
The food was good, rather nice and not too strong Bisque and we had the grilled fish. Again good, but not "wow".
The Bream was rather impressive, but this was let down by a rather badly cooked Gurnard fillet (it smelt and tasted fishy). The salmon and Bass fillets were also impressive but these usually are in most fish restaurants.
The restaurant also nearly forgot the birthday plate I ordered for my wife, but this was remembered with the bill and came with some complimentary truffles.
It was a very good restaurant and I wouldn't mind coming back again, but it somehow missed the wow factor, there's lots of things it does right, but we had a few things missed that took the sheen from it.
That being said I know of no better seafood place in town.
I apologise for the mixed review, but I was left with mixed feelings by this meal, it was close to fantastic but just missed the goal.
(check ahead for the native oysters and crab, despite it being a Friday they had run out by the time we arrived for dinner).
