Great experience in this small seafood restaurant. The food was tasty and delicately balanced with spices. It didn't look big but we left with full tummies and a big smile! Very happy!
The waiters were nice and friendly. The food was delicious and expertly cooked. We ordered a total of 9 dishes for 4 people and yet we couldn't get enough of how each dish has their own flavor unlike most restaurants whose dishes seem mashed into one common, boring flavor
Great place, excellent menu choice, attentive staff. Good location and vibe. Reasonable prices. Delicious food, highly recommend
We had a massive group of 22 friends and from start to finish the staff were fantastic. The food was so tasty, with my highlights being the chilli crab and mussels and grilled jumbo prawn. Our wait staff were so friendly. Will definitely go back
