2 weeks agoWe went two nights in a row for ice cream. They had a huge variety and a good amount in a display case attended by a very young, attentive, and polite young man.

2 weeks agoGreat for evening meals for my wife and I. Casual dining, live music, great staff and great atmosphere! We were fortunate enough to go during the World Cup and watched a few games there. King prawns, cheese board, lamb chops were delicious! Thank you Cristiano, Sunil, Rafael, Hamed, Pedro and Fernando and of course the staff in the kitchens and bar for looking after us every time we went there. We were made to feel special every time we visited :) Thank you all. Highly recommend.
