The staff, food and atmosphere were all very nice. We visited for lunch as 2, and tried the seafood pie and barramundi which we enjoyed. The restaurants menu is pretty interesting, they have Moroccan touched as well as south east Asia (sambal) touches. There are different dishes that we would like to try next time.
Service was okay, had to wait and go inside to be served. Waited about 40 minutes for our fish tacos and they were the exact same as the ceviche we just had, just on a taco. Also had to wait about 10 minutes for our wine everytime. Vibes could be better.
This restaurant on Hardware Lane was definitely a great choice of my friend. We had a great time here and we ordered a pitcher of Sangria to start. Then we all ordered our mains which I ate Paella my friends ordered pasta and swordfish. As a fish lover, I really enjoyed the wall of cartoon fish and random fish decorations. The waitress that helped us was really nice and gave us great recommendations for food. Upon leaving I had to use the restroom, though the backdoor was closed. So, the chef then ripped apart the tape from the door and went so I did the same. Honestly that was the best part of my dinner. But overall great place, and yummy food.
Food was delicious. We ordered 7 dishes. We loved all of it, except for the paella.. a little under seasoned. The rest was amazing 👌. Natural oysters, Moroccon Claypot Barbarossa, clam soup, king prawn grilled in the shell, seafood paella, Turkish eggplant, and tabouli salad. Would love to come back again.
Excellent and fresh seafood in the middle of the CBD, with changing seasonal menus. Many of their dishes are unique and inventive, combining ingredients in interesting yet complementary ways. For the price, the portion size and quality were superb, and the staff were extremely friendly and delightful to talk to.
