Seafood forms the mainstay of the cuisine, starting with a spicy skewered grilled shrimp with orange and onion relish and moving on to entrées of peppercorn crusted yellow fin tuna with mâche and edamame salad.

A picturesque dining terrace and the umbrella covered patio help you enjoy the delicious food in the presence of quiet, natural beauty. Few people would want more than that.
