Reviews

Love the vibe. Perfect for people watching. Bar tending was superb. Lovely sitting at the bar and ordering off the menu where the bartender was more than happy to oblige. Upstairs is perfect for a date or a quiet chat while many are sitting outside facing the water. Drinks are well crafted and made with good spirits.…
