The menu centres on seafood prepared in different ways, including grilled options, alongside freshly made sushi, sharing platters and family favourites. Generous portions and accessible value are part of the restaurant’s character, making it suitable for diners looking for a straightforward seafood meal rather than a formal dining experience.
