After reading reviews, we thought we give it a try for dinner. First impression-- NOT really family friendly. The row of bars/restaurants around the area share a bathroom that at the time were fully occupied with scantily clad working girls primping up for their shift for the the night.

The food tasted OK, but looked as if it had been liberally dosed with food colour. I prefer my dinner in a more natural state. Both meat and... More

The wine selection was good but since we had the set it came with a bottle .the food was great with good presentation.no complains for a good set. Money for value. If you wish you can make reservations or just take a taxi ride and ask for the waterfront.there are a few other food and drinking outlets around. The next... More
