5th September 2011 We found the portside when we went looking for the little blue penguins so decided to eat there, no menus on the outside glass cabinets but in we went . We were greeted immediately by a very friendly staff member . Service was efficient, friendly and very professional. The wine list is pretty good and not overpriced.Our food was presented quickly, and the seafood fettuccine was divine,my groper was a huge portion but needed a sauce as I didn't think the salsa was enough moisture for this dense fish, Then dessert, the children at the next tables ice cream sundaes looked fantastic. We choose almond and pear cake and fig and date pudding both with cream and ice cream and very good, great setting by the sea.

4.0Well I guess if you are on tour "not overpriced" means a different thing to that of a local. However good food and good service.
