If you like your seafood, this is the place to be. 4 of us had the seafood Taki Taki platter for the main (wow) and my daughter had the Chicken Fajita.

Will go again if back in Caslebar.

  Overrated and over priced - Little personal attention and couldn’t care less attitude. Food was fine but is expensive and pretentious

I had the salmon for my main course. My husband chose the hake. He's not really a fish fan but he said it was absolutely delicious. We also shared a dessert which was yummy. We just had a couple of beers to drink. My only complaint is that the beer wasn't really cold enough but that's a minor issue. The service was up to the usual excellent standard that we had on our 1st visit some time ago. Lovely, lovely place, small with a feeling of intimacy. Well worth a visit. Thank you to all.

... read more /> We were shown to our tables and enjoyed a few minutes chatting with Peter, he is very engaging and genuinely listens to what you have to say, having come from the UK .It is really refreshing to find someone who wants to take time and talk..

We ordered food which was soup for me (piping hot). Arrived promptly and was really delicious and filling almost didn't need anything else, almost!!

My main was grilled hake on a bed of mashed potatoes with veg, I'm not normally a fish person but this would change your mind straight away, just fell apart in the best possible way and so tasty, my wife had baked chicken and salad which again she thoroughly enjoyed..

Peter checked on us regularly and made conversation between courses.
Dessert was raspberry and vanilla cheesecake with ice cream, again just perfect and generous portion sizes.

We finished with two lattes these were nice and hot, we have found in the past by time you get them there nearly cold..( not here, just a generalisation of other restaurants)

We would whole heartedly recommend this restaurant to anybody that enjoys good well cooked fresh food , with a good atmosphere and a very charming host.

we will be moving out of the area soon but have said we will be back, that's a given.

Thank you for wonderful evening .
