Been coming here for a while now, and the fish and chips never let me down. Cod&#39;s always flaky, batter stays crisp without being greasy. Kids&#39; meal deal is decent too, keeps the little ones happy without breaking the bank. Portions are fair for what you pay. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you get what you pay for.

The tandoori chicken special with Indian fried rice was a decent feed for the price. Portion was fair, didn&#39;t leave hungry. Service was quick enough too.

The falafel bowl and flatbread were both really tasty, loved how fresh the veggies were. Great spot for a lighter meal with friends, though it did get a bit busy.

Stumbled on this place walking through town. Pizza was solid, fish and chips was the best I had all trip. Staff knew their stuff, even pointed us to a few spots worth seeing.

The trad music and general buzz in here made it feel like a proper Irish pub. Guinness was poured well and the spice bag had a decent kick. Seats near the window were a bit tight though.

Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, really nice relaxed spot. Porridge was spot on, though I wish they&#39;d a better wine list to go with it. Still, great for a slow morning.

The seafood risotto was the standout&mdash;prawns, mussels, and monkfish all cooked properly. Rich base, not too heavy. Cocktails were decent too. One of the better spots around for that dish.

Solid whiskey selection here. Tried a peated Islay I&#39;d never heard of and the bartender knew exactly how to talk about it. Outdoor seating was a bonus, though the street noise got a bit much.

Nice cocktails and a menu that&rsquo;s got plenty of options without being too much. Prices are a bit steep but you&rsquo;re paying for the quality. Solid spot for a proper dinner.

The coffee&rsquo;s decent but nothing to write home about. The free chocolate with your drink is the real winner though&mdash;always makes me stop in when I&rsquo;m passing.

The lamb stew was spot on again&mdash;fall-apart tender, just like every other time I&#39;ve been here. That pie special was decent too, though the stew&#39;s the reason I keep coming back.

The eggs benny with spinach never misses, and those roasted potatoes with hollandaise are proper good. Pastries are the real draw here though.

Popped in on a wet Monday and grabbed a flat white. Proper coffee, nice and warm in there too. The girl behind the counter was sound, didn&#39;t rush me at all. Price was fair, which is always a relief. Just what I needed to get out of the rain for a bit.

Early bird menu is decent value, food came out quick enough. Staff left us alone which I appreciate. Place had a nice buzz even on a quiet evening.

The cod was pretty good&mdash;properly cooked, flaky, not greasy. Brownie for dessert was decent too, nice and rich. Staff sorted us a table even though we&#39;d only booked that morning, which I appreciated. Place was a bit busy but we weren&#39;t rushed. Fine for a casual dinner, I&#39;d go back.

Stopped in for dinner last week and ordered the fish of the day. Really fresh, cooked simply, no fuss. Got a window table which was nice for people-watching. Service was friendly enough, though we did wait a bit between courses. Portion size felt right for the price. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped in for a late lunch and the lamb really caught my attention &mdash; cooked properly, still juicy, not overdone like most places do it. Staff were sound, no fuss. Menu&#39;s simple enough, nothing fancy, but that&#39;s grand. Place has a relaxed vibe, though it did get a bit busy around 1. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back for that lamb again.

The fish and chips were spot on &mdash; crispy batter, fresh fish. Sat on the terrace with a view of the water, which made the whole lunch feel a bit special.

Came for the match on the big screens, ended up staying for the food. The fish chowder was proper&mdash;creamy, plenty of fish, not just potato filler. Chicken salad was fresh too, decent size for the price. Place was busy but we got our order quick enough. Solid spot if you&#39;re after a bite with the game on.

Open 24 hours, which honestly saved me the other night when nothing else was open. Got the hot chocolate with the chocolate stick&mdash;nice touch, melts right in. Also tried the Moroccan tea, proper good. Place was quiet enough to sit and chill for a bit. Will be back if I&#39;m stuck late again.

The lamb shank was the standout &mdash; fell right off the bone, proper rich gravy. Had the chowder first, decent enough but a bit thin. Waiter mixed up our order but honestly didn&#39;t care, the main dish made up for it. Would go back just for that lamb.

Stopped in for a club sandwich and a smoothie. Sandwich was solid, chicken was fresh. Staff were sound, had a bit of a chat while I was waiting. Place was busy enough for a Tuesday. Smoothie was cold and thick, just what I needed. Might head back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Lovely spot right on the water, and the staff were so welcoming. Made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal.
