Much smaller than expected, with only about 5-6 stores in total. The cheese scallops were disappointing - mostly rice with tiny pieces of scallop. The lobsters and king crabs were impressively large, but not worth ordering for just two people.

We opted for pre-cooked items: grilled lobster tail, octopus skewers, grilled salmon, and cheese oysters, which we enjoyed at the waterfront pier. Perhaps due to the wind, the food cooled quickly and was rather ordinary, nothing spectacular. The meal cost around $400, which was reasonable, though serving everything in paper boxes made it feel less premium.

Still, dining by the sea was a lovely experience - watching the crystal-clear water, flocks of seagulls, and two pelicans swimming about was quite delightful. Put on some sunglasses and you'll feel pretty stylish!
