Popped in for a quick morning coffee. The brownie was fantastic, really hit the spot. Service was quick and friendly, perfect for a fast bite. Will definitely be back when I&#39;m in the area.

The curry goat was so tender, just fell off the bone. That rich, slow-cooked flavour with the rice and peas... honestly hit the spot. The bar in the middle gives it a nice, relaxed vibe.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch. The spaghetti with lobster was flavourful and came out fast. Sausage rigatoni was top notch too. Exactly what you need when you&#39;re in a rush.

The waiter gave us space to chat, really appreciated that.

Came for a family dinner, the portions are huge! We ended up taking half the pasta home. The staff were really quick with our orders, which was a lifesaver with my toddler nephew.

Booking was easy. Staff called to confirm, which was nice. Food arrived quickly even though they were packed.

Family-run spot, super relaxed. Perfect for a quick lunch. Had the chicken curry, came out fast and hit the spot. Nothing fancy, just good, honest food. The vibe is very unpretentious.

Always a lovely atmosphere - dog friendly, child friendly - what else would you ask for.  Wonderful staff and great food :)

We came with the family and the portions were huge. Everyone got their fill. The staff were really helpful with the kids, too. Solid spot for a big group dinner.

Nice spot for a drink after a walk. The outdoor area is good, and they&#39;re really dog-friendly with water bowls and sausages.

Had a really nice evening here. The staff were so attentive without being overbearing, which made it feel relaxed. Food was solid, and the drinks list had some interesting options. Good spot for a casual catch-up.

The nut roast was excellent, really well seasoned. Veg cooked perfectly too. Presentation was spot on. Service was friendly and efficient. Good value for the quality.

The team here is lovely. Really attentive, and they made a last-minute change to our breakfast order without any fuss. Just a nice, welcoming vibe throughout the whole meal.

First time here for a family dinner. The portions were huge, we all had to take some home. My dad&#39;s fish and chips plate was especially massive.

Popped in for a quick bite, ended up staying a while. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe. Ordered the pasta - portion was huge, couldn&#39;t finish it all. Staff were really friendly, no rush at all.

Love that they&#39;re so welcoming to dogs! Our pup got a little bowl of meat, which was such a nice surprise. Made it feel really relaxed for our group. The vibe is perfect for a casual catch-up with friends.

Nice spot for a quiet drink. The bar itself is spotless, and the staff were really on it despite the crowd. Had a decent glass of red with my steak - a solid pairing. Could do with a few more interesting wines by the glass, but it did the job.

Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips are always spot on. Same crispy batter, same flaky cod. It&#39;s just a solid, dependable meal every single time. That consistency is why we keep coming back.

The complimentary popcorn was a nice touch, paired well with my cocktail.

Been a few times now, always solid. Their pizza night is a good one - the place has a nice, relaxed vibe, the lighting&#39;s warm, and the tables aren&#39;t too cramped. Just a comfortable spot to unwind.

Lovely spot right by the water. Came for a late lunch and the chicken Caesar wrap hit the spot &ndash; the chicken was still warm and the dressing wasn&#39;t too heavy. The brownie was a nice, fudgy finish. Perfect for a sunny autumn afternoon.

We didn&rsquo;t have a booking but got a lovely quiet table. The roast beef was just right, and the sticky toffee pudding was light and fresh.

Really liked the vibe here for a full Scottish breakfast. It&#39;s a bright, airy space with nice big windows and comfy booths. Felt relaxed just sitting there with a coffee. The staff were lovely, too.

Elle was so kind and attentive. She remembered our drink order from last time and even brought an extra side of bread without us asking. Just really nice service that made the whole meal better.

Lots of veggie and vegan choices here, which is nice. Got the pasta, it was really good. Came out fast too, even though the place was packed.

Been coming here for years, prices are still decent. Had the burger again last night, it&#39;s always solid. Staff are quick, and they&#39;ll tell you a bit about the area if you ask. Nothing fancy, just a reliable spot.

Came here for the first time and loved the meze selection. The chargrilled sucuk was the highlight - so flavourful and perfectly cooked. A really nice meal overall.

Sam and the team are spot on. Attentive without hovering, and they know the wine list. My server suggested a glass of red that paired beautifully with the steak, made the whole thing just click. Professional but friendly vibe.

I took my grown Son and his huge German shepherd and sat outside to eat and drink.Service was great and the food amazing.He had the beef pie and said it was the best.I had the aubergine lasagna which was very tasty

Stumbled upon this place in Old Shanklin Village. The setting is really nice, all traditional and cosy. Had a simple lunch here, just felt like a good spot to sit and eat.
