    Service and location are fantastic, but the food was mediocre at best. I was fully aware we’d be paying a premium for the location but had really hoped the food would be better. The calamari was chewy and the oil seemed burnt. My seafood risotto (35 USD) was an odd mash of under and overcooked rice, pasted together with bland tomato paste, one HALF of a scallop, one single rubbery octopus tentacle and 4 dodgy mussels with 4 anemic shrimp. My husband’s steak and shrimp ($75) was better; they do know their way around a grill and the meat seemed to be a nice cut. I left feeling like a foolish tourist for trying a meal instead of just drinks at a waterfront restaurant in a busy tourist area.

    Very delicious dinner and beautiful seaside setting. Our seafood was cooked to perfection and the bartender made a mean cocktail. Was superb.
