CLOSED DO NOT BOOK! Even though I had a re confirmation email a week before we arrived and it was closed and look like it had been for some time. The least they could have done was inform us!!!

Disappointing. Food took over an hour to be served. The table next to us were told there was no food left after waiting an hour for their meal. The two staff members were doing their best but obvious big problems in the kitchen. My curry consistent of 4 tiny pieces of chicken floating in an over curried soup, aglio olio spaghetti appeared to have no garlic. No cutlery provided when meals arrived as staff were placating other diners. We served ourselves from the kitchen bench. Many disgruntled diners. Of note the restaurant was closed the next 2 nights. Best to check the restaurant has food and a chef prior to going. Hopefully they get organised!

Decent food with an grossly overpriced wine list. Service was very inattentive even with only 12 people in the restaurant. Nothing more annoying when the staff are more interested in chatting than serving.

Nice food. Menu description inaccurate. Waiters are not trained but very helpful on local tips and tours. Music too loud indoors with regard to the setting.
