Unfortunately over-hyped by your average Joe Bloggs because of the amazing views from atop its roof terrace. Had high hopes after reading such great reviews but unfortunately mediocre food I suspect oversold via reviews because of what are very, very surreal views in the evening. My fiancé had the marinated sardines which were essentially tiny, tinned-like sprats or anchovies on toast. I went for the mussels in garlic and onion. Mussels cooked well but bread had been left to soak in the bottom, so mussels left on a bed of mushy and soggy bread? Had the spinach and ricotta ravioli with sole; again, ravioli I suspect was from a tin or packet and the most minuscule amount of sole mixed in. Fiancé had the crumbed squid, again, nothing to write home about unfortunately. Finished with the mascarpone and chocolate mousse; thankfully this was really, really good and somewhat saved the previous meals. 4 oysters, 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 4 gin and tonics = €112 - quite a bit for mediocre food, but can unfortunately get away with it for the view.
