I don't like to post negative reviews but something needs to be said. 50 minutes to get served when 90% of the food we ordered was cold and only needed to be placed on a chopping board. A chopping board which of course had to be was in swathes of spring onion. Now it seems churlish to say this but food is allowed to be savoury, every single dish was served with either a clawing pickle, chutney or balsamic reduction. Now to the cooking ... The curried muscles tasted precisely like muscles lightly warmed in coconut milk. No spice, no curry nothing. The tapas selection is where it went horribly wrong. Patatas Bravas is a simple simple dish cubes of fried potato in a spicy paprika sauce, not 2 soggy hash browns covered in chipped cooked tomato and onions. Pan con Tomato is another simple dish fresh bread covered with fresh tomatoes in olive oil and seasoned, not toasted bread covered in the same cooked tomato and Onion that swamped the the potatoes. Fried Serano Ham is a strange choice, fried Serano Ham in Balsamic vinegar is an abomination Tapenade is NOT a sweet tangy relish. It is ostensibly mashed olives this one like everything else was doused in sweet vinegar and quite quite unpleasant. The frozen chips were well cooked though. I'm giving it 3 stars simply because I don't like posting negative points, especially for a restaurant on an island where the food is universally awful.

Took about 2 hours to serve a cold charcuterie board and 2 mussels mains and the place wasn't full with only 2 other tables occupied. Food was ok, but felt it was overpriced especially the wine options! Towards the end of the main meal the dishes started to get cold as the plates were cold to start.

Service was incredibly slow, there were only two other tables and it took two hours for a charcuterie board and mussels. Food was average, definitely not worth the price considering my wife had several closed mussels and the bread was rock solid. Food also cooled quickly as it was not served on warm plates. The wine list prices were extortionate. Limited choice in the village but would not recommend.

Had a wonderful dinner here on September 15th. The bistro is lovely, the staff was excellent. The real prize here is the food though! A small but diverse menu where every meal and dessert is delicious. The owner/chef has incredible culinary skills and deserves high praise! One warning though...If you are interested in trying this place out MAKE A RESERVATION! It's small, fills quickly and with good reason.
