A lovely spot with a spectacular view! We visited just for drinks but then the menu looked great so stayed for some food. We had children with us and they did say when we arrived for a drink children could be there but only until 8. We thought that was due to drinks only and children not being able to be effectively in a pub but seems it was the same even if we were eating which is strange. I understand it's not a soft play but if you're eating and spending I did feel there was little tolerance past the timeframe which is a shame.

Hello, this place is very pleasant with a nice view, although the color of the sea leaves a lot to be desired 🤭 as for the food, I can certainly recommend it because I know the chefs and I know what they can do and what passion they put into their experience and the pleasure of surprising the customer. I ate it many times and each time it tasted just as good or even better. The staff takes a professional approach to work, but sometimes there is no smile, but I am able to understand and explain it based on the weather outside. The new menu looks tasty and interesting, so I can confidently recommend it. Regards, Chef "Ma Ma Ma Baker" 🔊📳🎶

Best view and ambience. We spent few winter evenings with mulled wine and sea food. It was so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend if you want to have a cosy sea view with lovely drinks!

Would really rate a 3.5. The mussels were really tasty. Fish and chips had a large portion and decent taste. Really nice view next to the water but the table was in an awkward position. Service was friendly but mediocre. Menu overall basic but a great location on the water.

Beautiful little place. The views are incredible and the service was excellent. We only stopped by for a drink, we hadn't made any reservations and we told the waiter that we were just popping into the bar for a quick drink because the view looked amazing - he prepared a table for us right next to the window (floor to ceiling) and we spent the next hour just staring in wonder at the sea whilst the sun set, sipping our drinks (my aperol spritz was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced). My videos don't actually do justice to how incredible the view and experience were. Also, the venue has been done so beautifully on the inside - from the outside it doesn't look anything special, but don't let this fool you. It's super cute & 100% worthwhile visiting if you're in the area. We didn't eat, but I did walk past a guy eating a bowl of mussels in a cream sauce that looked and smelt delicious. Would definitely come here in the future for a meal & drinks.

I had a low expectations before visiting and was surprised. The food was okay and little expensive but the view was worthy.

I’ve never expected to have a satisfactory experience with fish and chips. It was such a coincidence that we dropped by this seaside restaurant very randomly. We were able to indulge in the great view thanks to the lady at the entrance who offered us a great spot. Honestly this was my second time having legitimate fish and chips after Poppie’s in Camden. As my first experience was not bad but not impressive either, I couldn’t find any reasons to try the dish even once again for the last couple of years. But hell yeah, the chef knows how to fry. Both fish fillet and chips were CRISPY and well seasoned. Big portions are a great bonus. The sticky toffee pudding was slightly bland though.
