We were at the restaurant when it was very busy and crowded and it felt like a volcano with a lot of pressure- not a pleasant feeling . The waiters are very unexperienced. The food was ok. The sea food pasta was good.

MoreThe place is just dirty. Filthy floor camouflaged as multi coloured limestone. Sticky dirty tables and sticky dirty menus. Still it gets crowded by people who accept these sub-standard conditions. Certainly not covid safe. The staff seldom wear a mask. No hand cleaner. Toilets always wet. The service is slow. And the food - mediocre at best. Really nothing to save it except a total different management approach. I spoke with the manager who was simply in denial and full of excuses about my concerns. They simply don’t want negative feedback. My third and last visit. Not recommended.
Less“A mediocre experience.”
