    Beautiful dining room, superb view, and a fish menu—exactly what we were looking for. But the atmosphere was rather cold, perhaps due to the current situation, with regulars. We ate well, but the waiters were barely there. The toilets were outside (understandable, it's a hot country), but hot water for washing hands would have been welcome. As for the owner, he stood us up at the till without a greeting and asked someone else to ring us up. Strange.

    Delicious food in a superb setting. Unfortunately, the service was too slow. Perhaps the staff was too small for a day with exceptional weather. I don't know. But there was too much time between our arrival and the order of our aperitifs being taken, and then more than 20 minutes between the main course and the cheese/dessert course. The time between the starter and the main course was just enough. It's a shame, as it somewhat spoiled our 6-month wedding anniversary celebration. I think, however, that with a more appropriate staff, during peak season for example, it must be truly delightful to have such fine cuisine in this superb setting.
