Service was friendly and the owner came to greet us at the table. Food was great, a pity that many dessert items were not available. Great location and views. We will definitely be returning.

The food and service were excellent. There is an area for the children to play while Mom and Dad can sit and relax. The view is absolutely beautiful. I will recommend the restaurant to anyone
