Best seafood platter, except the oysters were not attached to the shell. But the staff, the owners, absolutely looked after us. Great laughs and cocktails . And I can't forget the free gift of the salt and pepper shakers, that I wanted to put in my handbag, except I didn't have one
Thank you so much for a great start to the rest of our evening
