Four of us visited herein the evening. A limited menu particularly starters. The line fish was a huge portion served on wet tasteless mash. the mussel starter was again tasteless. Steaks were well cooked but again lacking in flavour. The lunch menu looks more promising but I cannot recommend the restaurant in the evening, we found the bright lighting and... More
