Amazing dining experience with a beautiful sunset at the point! ❤️

Tacky and rather expensive, the dishes arrived immediately after ordering and the place was full... We had dinner in just half an hour

During dinner they offered us a dish of gnocchi with walnuts, it was horrendous. Not to mention the octopus, we found an insect inside. We asked the waiter who smiled at us and said that it can happen. I do not recommend it.

The food overall was very good, and we enjoyed most of the dishes we ordered. If it were not for the issue described below, I would have considered this restaurant worth recommending. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with how the restaurant handled a hygiene issue during our dinner. We found a dead insect stuck to a piece of fried fish in our seafood platter. We called a waiter over, and instead of immediately acknowledging the problem, he first asked us what we thought it was. After I told him it was clearly an insect, he said it had probably been attracted by the lights and landed on the food after it was served. I do not find that explanation convincing. The insect was completely dead, visibly stuck to the fish, and covered in oil. From what we observed, it appeared much more likely that it had come into contact with the food during frying or preparation rather than simply flying onto the plate afterward. What disappointed us most was not only finding the insect, but the way the situation was handled. I would have expected a more professional response, such as an apology, taking the dish away immediately, and acknowledging the hygiene concern instead of trying to dismiss it. It was a shame because the food itself was otherwise enjoyable, but this incident and the response to it significantly affected our overall experience.
