Went for dinner Friday 29th August for a friends birthday. John and his team were fantastic. John made us feel so welcome and he was so accomodating, friendly and made our experience special. Riddle & Finns is very lucky to have him! The best oysters we've ever had and overall the food was very good. I love the atmosphere too. Having that backdrop of the sea is so lovely. We will definitely be back!
