This sandy stretch of land is undoubtedly aesthetically pleasing, and surprisingly devoid of litter and debris. It is a location that I would deem worthy of a visit, although I do not wish to impose my opinion upon you. If my words have aided you in any way, please feel free to express your gratitude via a thumbs up or follow. Regards, Mirco😎

We had high hopes based on the positive reviews, but unfortunately, the food didn't meet our expectations. The mussels didn't seem fresh and the nachos lacked cheese. On the bright side, the service lady was incredibly friendly and definitely deserving of a 5-star rating.
