Reviews
Nice little spot — a bit on the pricey side, but the view of the water makes up for it. I had the cod fritters, which were delicious, though the crispy tuna rice was a bit disappointing. The tuna flavor got lost under the sauce, which was just too overpowering. Overall, a pleasant experience! If you don’t eat fish or meat, though, I’d probably recommend another place. :)
