Went with family for a birthday/small scale reunion. Fantastic wine suggestions, highly suggest the Sicilian white. Actual food was incredible - best mussels in Glasgow. The menu changes and we’re very excited for the next one :). We had a chat with the owner who is just the nicest guy, and had three cocktails made, all of which beyond hit perfectly, from dessert drinks to a gorgeous mix between a margarita and a paloma! Also, a really lovely music choice with great volume - could appreciate the tunes and still chat. Great prices, great people, great environment, and a really nice sense of community. You will love them if you love good seafood and good cocktails :)!
