This will be the most difficult review I've ever written. Not because of any negative aspects, moreover, because this hidden gem of gastronomic delight will soon be overrun with bookings, if not already. I won't repeat much of what we read in previous reviews, the stunning setting, romantic atmosphere, excellent wine choices, etc. as it's all true! We were lucky to book a table on a Saturday evening, the restaurant became full and very busy quickly. Despite this, the amazing house staff were very warm and welcoming, never forcing a smile, and we never felt rushed at all. Plenty of time was given to enjoy the fabulous courses. We ordered the house speciality cod cerviche, having never tried this dish before and after reading the reviews. This time around, it was served with the seasonal strawberries and finished with some toasted coconut shavings (despite my aversion to coconut!). One word - WOW! A gastronomic explosion of flavours ensued. Incredible texture/flavour combinations. Fully converted to this incredibly executed dish! My partner took the beef tenderloin 'black-jack' with the tallow fries, and I continued the fish/cod theme with the fillet served with lobster sauce and Joël Rubuchon mashed potatoes. These main courses were perfection in all ways. Vegetable and salad accompaniments were perfect in every way. Again, WOW...We normally struggle with three courses but are happy to write that we both took a dessert option, ice cream/cream with Max's Belgian chocolate sauce was awesome, the chocolate souffle even moreso. Our evening finished with a cheeky rum and then Max's 'special' rum. The biggest issue for us was making our menu choices, but we overcame this by rebooking before we left so we can try some more dishes before our short break ends. Hate to say this, but if you don't book here at least once in your lifetime, then you are simply missing...
