We had a wonderful meal here as a family of three (we sat on the terrace area with our dog). The service was polite and prompt. The gluten free menu had lots of choice and we opted for a mix of gluten free and main menu meals according to dietary requirements. All meals were really well enjoyed, they were fresh, tasty and well presented. The staff were attentive throughout and we had a wonderful time. We have visited before but I feel that they deserve a review to reflect the high quality of floor and service.

Should really be called The Potted Dog Hotel
We booked a table for a birthday meal with 5 of us including 3 kids and were shown to what can only be described as the ?dog corner.? Not one, not two, but four dogs were seated next to us, one of which barked so often it felt like it was on the menu. Not quite the ambience you would expect from a restaurant that markets itself as a seafood spot.
To the food. The calamari starter was delicious and I would recommend it. The mussels, however, had to go back straight away. Every single one I tried contained grit or stones, clearly unwashed, which is pretty disappointing when seafood is supposed to be the speciality here. These were taken off the bill.
For mains I ordered a medium rare steak. It arrived rare. The blue cheese sauce was watery and unpleasant. I ate the steak, sent the sauce back and that was also deducted from the bill.
Overall, for somewhere that carries a reputation and the price tag to match, the experience felt closer to dining in a kennel than in a restaurant. Unfortunately, despite one good starter, this is not a place we will be returning to.

Had a great family meal here. Everybody that served us was very friendly and helpful. The sun was beating down and they kindly adjusted the outside canopy to provide some shade for those in need. All the food ordered was freshly cooked and served well. Wouldn't hesitate to come back again.

I've dined here several times now with friends and family, the most recent being this week - the food has always been excellent; most recently i had the steak tartare starter, followed by the hake main course, and it was exceptional. The decor in the restaurant is lovely and there's always a good vide in the PL, the terrace is lovely too when the weather is good. The service can sometimes be a little slow, hence the 4* for service, but it's normally when it's very busy so it can be forgiven.
