The seafood chowder is excellent!!! The portions are enormous. I ate here three times during my stay at the hotel. Service is excellent. I never finished a plate. Spaghetti was enough for two people. Reasonably priced.

This was one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in and would highly recommend coming here, even if you're not staying at the hotel. Food was fresh, appetizingly displayed, and a pleasure to eat.

Food was bland or not cooked properly, or not paired correctly with other things on the plate. Pork belly was more like pan-fried pork.

We were staying just across from the Pillo in the student accomadation so this place was very handy for a meal when we didn't feel like cooking. The bar meals were absolutely excellent and we went back for a second time. I honestly cannot reccomend...the burgers highly enough. The atmosphere is also fantastic and they have an exceptionally well stocked barMore
