“ Called in for lunch with my wife. Service was excellent and the waitress was very helpful. She suggested I try the hake and ham hock dish. I am very glad that I did. A perfectly cooked piece of hake served with an amazing warm potato salad containing a good amount of shredded ham hock. A very-well thought out dish. My wife had the fresh Portavogie prawn scampi, and declared it delicious. Service was most attentive, and our dog enjoyed the sausage provided. We will certainly be back again. ”
