My girlfriend and I had our very first date at this restaurant, and now, nearly 5 years later, I decided to contact them with a special request. I wanted to propose to her in the same place where our journey began. The restaurant staff couldn't have been more wonderful, helpful, and accommodating in making this momentous occasion perfect.I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious, the drinks are superb, and the staff is simply brilliant. Their willingness to go above and beyond to make our engagement unforgettable speaks volumes about their commitment.To the entire team, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You've created lasting memories for us, and we'll forever cherish this place and the love it has witnessed throughout our journey.

Lovely restaurant and bar. The fellas were very quick and friendly. Food and coffee were very nice. The lady server was a bit abrupt.. apart from that, it was fab!

What an amazing place. Went for dinner upstairs and then drinks downstairs. The meals are phenomenal, all freshly cooked and full of flavour. The menu has an amazing selection with a great choice of starters and mains, and then deserts. The bar downstairs is cozy and comfortable with a great selection of beers and wines. Outside is a large seating area. Friendly staff and amazing atmosphere.

Such a fun spot right on the water. We enjoyed some good banter with the bartender, who also guided me on a tour of some Irish whiskeys. The food portions were large and we left satisfied and very pleased with the experience. It's an incredibly busy restaurant, so booking ahead is a must. That being said, we only waited 30min for a table.

Food looks nice. We didn't take drink there. But the beer proposal wasn't so nice, and the waitress was rushing... I moved from outside to inside and it was much better!!! Very nice place (inside) ?

Beautiful characterful pub overlooking the sea. When you first go in it feel Kim's walking into a cosy little boat, but the place is deceptively spacious with lots of seating upstairs. We went for lunch on a Friday and the atmosphere was brill.We had chowder (seafood and meat) and shared the chicken flatbread. Everything was full of flavour, generous portions and very fresh.Service was wonderful and friendly. Nice mix of clientele. Seating upstairs has brilliant views out of over the sea.Highly recommend!

The fish and chips were excellent, the tartar sauce was very good. The crab claws weren't great but the prawns and tomatoes were good. The garlic chips were also quite nice. The sticky toffee pudding was yummy. Overall a decent meal and experience.

Amazing food and staff recommendations were great. We shared a starter of the crab claws and prawns. Absolutely devine. Surf and turf cooked to perfection and I had the pork belly and calamari. Omg. We have never tried dessert because we are always too full. Maybe next time.

Stopped by here for a spot of lunch while on a walk along the coast. Despite being busy and having no pre booking we were given a table fairly quickly. Enjoyed a Guinness and the Smoked Haddock with creamy Champ and seasonal vegetables was absolutely fantastic. Very reasonably priced, we shall be back.

Very busy pub. They're lucky to have such hard-working staff. Lovely surroundings and garden. Food is pretty good bit also pretty forgettable. Toilets are way overcrowded and much too small for such a large pub. Dogs welcome
