Everything was just perfect. Soup was hot, the main meal too. Delivered on table fast and we could hear that it was made fresh for us. The owner was interested in service, walking between customers to see if someone needs something. Also good thing is that he asked if he can serve the main meal now, or to wait yet. Usually restaurants don't care about that. Prices are very good, taste too, and location is very close to the port. Absolutely worth of coming by there! I recommend!

Lovely service, very accommodating. The sushi entre was nice but nothing crazy but the duck was absolutely delicious. Crispy skin, cooked perfectly and delicious flavour.
