This restaurant is located upstairs with a nice view over the ocean. I would recommend the chicken sizzler, it was very good! The staff is nice and the atmosphere pleasant. Worth a visit!

I eat all my meals here. They would change the menu for me. They would also let me move tables and sit for as long as I liked while reading my books :-) Its a very friendly and relaxed place with a great view and sea breeze.
