Located right on the sea front, car park at the back (a bit tight), location is excellent. The decor is trendy tasteful, all spic and span, looks great and might even be a bit off-putting thinking you might have to pay accordingly, but, no, excellent value, really good quality, fresh, locally sourced menu. Full range of drinks and you can stay there too. Highly recommended.

The barmaid asked if she wanted doubles and my wife said yes again. The barmaid poured the cognac and placed in nice glasses over hot water. She then charged my wife £58!!!! Yes £58. When my wife queried it she said "Well it's XO and it's £12.50 per measure - I did show you the bottle!" Unbelievable and not the way to upsell. So, £25 per drink! Ok, then. We went there quite regularly when on the island - as did family. None of us will be going back so they've lost good business. It's not the way to treat people. Oh, by the way, they had regular cognac on the shelf at £4 per measure. Nice. Honest. Spoiled a birthday. Should be ashamed.

Considering we had a larger group, it was very appreciated we were all able to sit together and that it didn't take very long for our food.
