Someone said: A great restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere and excellent location. We chose the seafood platter, and it was really amazing
All the staff were very attentive; the presentation was beautiful. If you are an oyster lover, you must try the natural oysters, they taste as if they were freshly shucked right out of the water.
