“ The location is perfect, you have a great water view. There are a lot of options for food, desserts, etc. There is an outside seatings as well. Parking would be little bit far in docklands drive, you may pay if before 6:30 pm. It is worth visiting. ”

“ Great food and ambiance. Staff is friendly and everything keot running well. We sat in the outdoor area which had heaters going. Slightly on the expensive side but overall a great experience. Place is usually busy on weekends but we managed to get a table for two. Service is quick enough. No drinks available here but may bring your own. ”
