The star of the show was undoubtedly David, our waiter. In all our dining experiences, we’ve never encountered service quite like this. His professionalism, warmth, and genuine friendliness made us feel truly special throughout our visit.
The setting itself was outstanding – the atmosphere and ambience created the perfect backdrop for a remarkable meal. And the food? Absolutely superb. My trout fillet and my wife’s champagne hake were both cooked to perfection, showcasing genuine five-star quality in both preparation and flavor.
The highlight of our dessert was the presentation – the crème brûlées arrived in a stunning canoe-shaped dish featuring two different fillings. They tasted every bit as good as they looked, providing the perfect sweet ending to an excellent meal.
This is the kind of dining experience you remember and talk about for weeks afterward. If you’re fortunate enough to have David as your waiter, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommended without reservation.
Service from Simon and David is superb
