We went there because we saw the view and the ratings. We wanted a breakfast but left only with a coffee (that was actually good). We don't know how the food taste because we left after waiting for more than 40 minutes. We asked 3 times for water but we stayed dried. It may be a bad luck. If there is someone missing in your life, he may be stuck waiting there.

Overlooking the sea. Very welcoming including to our dog. They were helpful and friendly. Really tasty food. Would definitely return. Music making you feel you were on holiday but not so loud you couldn’t talk!
