The salad was not very tasty, too much fatty bacon and too much honey which made it a bit fad, fat and sweet. The mussels very great and lived up their description without being extraordinary. Nice fries again nothing special. Would come back if I could remember it. Chances are I won't.

The fish soup was also quite good, although a bit on the salty side. My daughter and I shared the duck breast. It was good, but I have had better. The piece de resistance and the reason I give this restaurant 5 out of 5 is the tar tar. It is by far, the best tar tar I have had. It was an original concoction with walnut oil and thai basil instead of the traditional ketchup/tomato based sauces. It was fantastic and so much taste. It was a nice change to all the seafood and well worth the trip. The staff were also very friendly and especially kind to kids. Although housing only a few tables, there were about 6 young kids in the restaurant and the wait staff found it all entertaining.
