Sensational sea food, views and service! What more could you want? We were made to feel so welcome, the lovely waitress chatted to us about the menu and helped us with our choice! Food was piping hot and so fresh! Would come back in a...heartbeat! Just be sure to go hungry - portions are huge! I also recommend the Maltese Rose wine - very nice!More

We went there during the beginning of dinner time. The portions were big and the food was delicious, although the octopus was a bit too chewy for our taste. Our waiter was attentive and helpful and everything went smoothly. We were happy with our experience...and the price range compared to Valletta's.More

Horrid staff. I booked a table for the 19th of July and received a message on the 12th asking if I was still coming. Bizarre to be asked a week beforehand but I confirmed anyway that if our taxi arrives then yes we will be...coming. I then receive a further message from them: “Thanks for telling us that you are coming and we kept the table for you even though you reserved at 8:00. I even messaged and you still confirmed you are coming. A complete waste of time” I dread to think what their service would be like in person. I’m glad we aren’t going here. Disgusting behaviour from the staff!!! Avoid!!More

Hi Tuesday. As we have allready explained, your reservation was for the 19th of July. When taking your booking we made a mistake and wrote you down for the 12 July at 8:00pm. We sent a confirmation message at 8:30 asking if you would still...More

A delightful setting to have a really fantastic meal. We had catch of the day (a scorpion fish and a rock fish) and the sea bass with breadcrumbs. All was absolutely delicious. Wonderful, attentive service too. Highly recommended !

Small family run restaurant on the Marsaxlokk strip. We went on a Thursday lunchtime and it was quiet and we had excellent service from the waiter whose name I didn't catch unfortunately. The whole red snapper was excellent as was the accompanying Maltese wine

A warm welcome, Nice choice (at the harbour, so most fish and seafood), moderate prices for really good diner, even the side-dishes had some extra. All served with a smile, strongly recommended.

I had a delicious lunch here on Sunday. It’s a very small restaurant with a small menu and from my experience excellent food. I ordered the sea bream and a beer. The fish was cooked to perfection and came with delicious roasted potatoes and a...small salad. They also brought me a small appetiser of pate, olives and bread which I fully expected would be charged as a cover charge but was not on the bill and was provided on the house. The lady who was serving was incredibly friendly, probably the nicest service I’ve had in Malta. All round delicious and good value lunch.More

We had a delicious seafood platter at this place, which came accompanied with some vegetables. We loved the mashed potatoes with truffle. The service was great too! Don’t miss out to try the Kinnie, an iconic and popular soft drink in Malta.
