It's the cleanest fish n chip shop you're likely to ever step foot in. And the fish and seafood is all fresh! The new owners have a big emphasis on fresh food, cleanliness and healthy food (well, as healthy as it gets with fish n chips!!), so the oil is clean and food non-greasy. A great and delectable selection of seafood, the fish and calamari are to die for and the range of salads go down a treat and complement the fried foods! Wonderful to find such a proud and appetising take out shop in the area!

As I walked inside, I was taken at how small and quaint this place was. The hostess said, "You must be Cosmo." I laughed and said yes- I must've been the only one to make a reservation that night! There was a small bar as I walked in, and I was guided to the dining room, where there were a few other diners sitting, about half full. I was shown to my table and given a menu. She handed me a menu, and asked if I wanted water, to which I said yes, tap was fine. She left me as I perused the menu, and she quickly returned with water and pointed out the board behind me, which had all the fresh fish and specials of the day. I wanted Lobster, and happily, I saw it on the board. I asked which of the prawn starters was better, and she offered a taste of both! I then ordered a lobster. I ordered green beans on the side. I also ordered a cold beer, which she brought immediately. I was brought a plate of 2 prawns which were both divine, and then another plate with another 2 prawns, and they were divine as well. I am glad I was given the option. And then my main course came, beautifully prepared, large chunks of lobster in the shell. The Green Beans were beautiful, and I must say, some of the best I have ever had! Cooked perfectly, and the almonds were delicious. The lobster was to die for- tender and flavorful, cooked perfectly. I savored each bite. I ordered a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc with my lobster, and then had a cheese plate to finish. I sat there finishing my wine and enjoying the cheese. What a great dinner! I paid my bill, and all the staff thanked me, and I left, yearning to come back one day. For now, it will be a wonderful memory...

Ribs came out no sauce on the side and one napkin and for those who know about ribs you need more then one napkin ( not in this case though) the ribs were $40 way over priced for what they were I sent them back hardly eaten explained how I didn't like them they offered me something else I said no then ended up charging me for the entire meal (not even a discount). I will never be back both service and food were very poor and for a place that has just opened is even worse.

They have fully renovated the restaurant to make it more open & spacious. This does cause a bit of noise when there are a lot of patrons, but the friendly service & great food definitely make up for it! The menu has traditional Abruzzo meals to enjoy and a good wine selection for accompaniment. All in all it is definitely worth a try with a friend, partner or large group of friends. There is also a large function space upstairs to enjoy!
