The food was delicious and came very fast, all the fish was fresh and cooked mouth-wateringly well! The service was very attentive and welcoming. A lovely new find that I’m excited to try more of the menu.

A pleasant, comfortable restaurant with diverse menu. Very attentive and kind staff, who looked after us and were eager to please. I liked the atmosphere and the gentle lighting (but not too dark). The food was delicious and there were many other options on the menu that I would like to try. Will return.

A great fish restaurant just on the edge of the city centre. Service was good, the food presented well and tasted great! Highly recommend and we will be returning.

Good choice of items on the menu. The mixed grill was delicious.

Visited on a Sunday night, and it wasn’t too busy, which was nice. The atmosphere was great, and the service was attentive. However, the portion sizes were smaller than expected, especially given the high prices. If the portions were larger, the cost would feel more justified. The food itself could have been better in terms of taste and flavor—nothing particularly stood out. Overall, a decent experience, but there’s room for improvement in the food quality and portion sizes.

Cute restaurant with yummy food!
The muscles were very good since we’re not close to the sea and the marinière sauce is yum!

The salmon pasta was definitely a highlight😍
It was a very rich dish and they gave me a very large portion too!!
I would definitely come again especially with family since the prices aren’t catered for students xx

Small portions for a big price but the food was good and the service friendly. There even have been vegan options. We visited on weekend for early dinner. It was not too full.

Came here for a graduation meal on a Saturday. No trouble getting a booking. The service was wonderful, the lady who I assume is the owner or manager was so lovely and helpful. I left some cards on the table and she kept hold of them for me. Food was divine and not excessively expensive

Lovely seafood restaurant in Oxford where we tried the mixed fish grill for one and the Mediterranean fish soup. It’s a bit pricey considering the portions aren’t very big, so you may want to order a few dishes per person to feel full. Overall, the food is nice and the service is ok.
