If I could score lower I would.
Absolutely awful place.
We first walked in and all seemed nice and relaxed. However, the manager on that evening (a young lad with tattoos) was so incredibly loud and rude to both his colleagues as well as trying to make "funny jokes" which were just disgusting to everyone else. We ordered the food which came out pretty quick. Food wasn't anything special but by no means was it bad .... so I thought.
As the evening went on I started to feel quite woosy and thought it may have been the sea air or a cold.
At about 2 in the morning I woke up to explosive sick which went on until about 5 in the morning. The food poisoning lasted to make me feel awful for the next few days but I can honestly say I have never felt so ill.

AWFUL!
Can not recommend for you to avoid this place enough.

We have found our new favourite place to eat whilst on holiday,and the added bonus of them being...
Read moreNic and the crew did a bang up job accommodating for our large group on a busy Wednesday evening. We had pre ordered the food after great, fast communication with the team and had been reserved a lovely spot in their beer garden. There was not a single complaint or whine from anyone in our group about the food. It was FANTASTIC! Great portion, everything cooked to perfection and a PROPER spicy sauce! The biggest win for me however is the quality of the service. The bar staff and waiting staff were incredible from start to finish and couldn't do enough for our group.
I cannot recommend this place enough if you are...
