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.
Truly outstanding dining experience

Service was slow and the food was overpriced for the quality received and got some unreasonable charged.
