Dropped by for dinner last week and honestly, the view alone almost justifies the bill. City lights at night from up there are something else. Food was solid&mdash;plated nicely, flavors were on point. Service? Attentive without hovering, which I appreciate. Only gripe is the price tag, but for a special night out, it does the job.

Tried the Aquarius from their zodiac cocktails&mdash;really well made. Been here a few times now and the drinks stay consistent. Service was friendly too.

The grilled octopus was spot on, really fresh. Lobster linguine was decent too. Place is small and gets busy, but the food makes up for it.

Been coming here for a while now, and the prawn risotto is still the reason I keep going back. Had it again last week, creamy, well seasoned, no complaints. The pistachio cheesecake was good too, not too sweet. Place is basic, nothing fancy, but honestly that&rsquo;s fine when the food stays this consistent.

Eggs and ham were done right, quick and hot. Price is fair for the portion. House white&rsquo;s a bit sharp, but that&rsquo;s my taste. Good spot for a fast bite.

Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a glass of the house red while the kids burned energy in the play corner. Rooftop seating was a nice call, caught some decent sun. Food was alright, nothing wild, but the wine list had a few solid picks. Service stayed friendly even when it got busier.

English breakfast was solid, croissants decent. Staff friendly, not hovering. Price felt right for what you get. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Been here a few times now. The pizza&#39;s got that proper crispy base and they don&#39;t skimp on toppings. Paid about &euro;12 for a decent sized one. Not the cheapest in town but you can taste the difference. Honestly, it&#39;s probably the best slice on the island for that money.

Stopped here while wandering through the Citadel. Had the traditional platter &ndash; the local cheeses were fresh, capers added that nice tang. Sun-dried tomatoes tasted like they were actually dried in the sun, not just marinated. The Maltese bread was dense and chewy, perfect for scooping everything up. Simple food, honest ingredients. Wish I&#39;d had more time to sit and enjoy it slowly.

The lemon cake was a nice touch, but the cheese platter they brought out for us drinkers really hit the spot.

The pulled rabbit starter was stunning, and the duck was so tender. Lovely spot, though the outdoor seating is pretty limited.

Came back here again last week, still my go-to for seafood by the bay. The platter was fresh as always, though it took a bit longer to come out. View makes up for it though.

Great spot right on the cliff, sea views are hard to beat. Pizza was decent but the dough came out a bit too crispy for my liking.

The grilled octopus here was properly tender, not rubbery at all. I&rsquo;m picky about seafood freshness and this didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Portions are generous for the price, which I appreciate. Sat by the window watching the boats while eating&mdash;simple and nice. Only wish they had a few more vegetable sides, but the calamari made up for it.

Loved the waterfront vibe here&mdash;sat outside and it felt properly local. Food was solid, portions generous for the price.

The homemade pasta is a must-try. I had the carbonara and it was spot on. Wish the portion was a bit bigger though.

Burgers were solid, came out quick even with a full table. Service did the job, no complaints. Good spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to mess around.

The cappuccino was spot on and the smoked salmon bagel hit the spot. Plenty of power sockets around, which is handy if you need to get some work done. Solid little spot for a coffee break.

Stopped by this little place in the craft village for a quick bite. Got the salmon ciabatta and a ftira &mdash; both were solid, bread was fresh. Staff were friendly enough, smiled when we walked in. Place is small but fine for a short stop. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.

Fresh seafood right by the harbor &mdash; the tuna fillet was a solid, generous portion. Staff knew their stuff when I asked for suggestions. View didn&#39;t hurt either.

Stopped by for a quick dinner. The tiramisu was solid&mdash;clearly homemade, not from a box. Wine list covers local and Italian well enough. Prices fair for what you get. Service was a bit slow midweek, but nothing painful. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t want to overthink it.

Loved the tagliatelle here &mdash; pasta was fresh and the seasonal sauce actually tasted like it came from the garden. Terrace view of the church is a nice bonus. Service was a bit slow but worth it.

Nice spot for a casual bite. The view over the harbour and Manoel Island is the real draw here. A glass of crisp white matched the seafood well. Service was friendly, though it got a bit busy around noon.

The food was decent and the plating looked nice. Service was friendly enough. Grilled veg came out more steamed than grilled, which was a bit of a letdown. Otherwise, pretty good meal.

The octopus was properly tender, not chewy at all. I had the oysters too and they were really fresh. Portions are decent for the price. Service was friendly without hovering, which I appreciated. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, the chairs got hard after a while. Still, a solid meal if you&#39;re in the area.

Took the kids here for a birthday. Food was decent and the waterslide kept them busy. Staff did their job, no complaints. Price was fair for what you get.

Tasting menu was solid&mdash;glazed pork skewer really stood out, tender and juicy. Aman handled service well, no complaints there. Good spot if you want variety without overthinking it.

Cozy spot inside, feels like a different world from the street noise. Had a good meal, service was friendly enough. Parking&#39;s a pain though, took me ages to find a spot.
