The standout dish for me was the soup of the day, which was a mushroom soup infused with what seemed like dill but with a unique aromatic twist and a perfect blend of spices. I think it was tarhon. It was absolutely delicious and a great start to the meal.
The fish and chips, while decent, didn't particularly stand out. It was your standard fare, satisfying but nothing extraordinary. However, the catch of the day, lemon sole, was very good. The fish was fresh and well-prepared, making it a commendable choice for seafood lovers.

My husband's mixed grill was not great either compared to previous restaurants we have eaten in along the front. Overall disappointed on a rare evening...
