The menu is heavily seafood-focused with many fish and shellfish dishes, plus vegetarian sides and desserts. Pescatarian options are abundant and clearly listed. The shared kitchen also handles meat (beef, lamb, duck, pork), so cross-contamination with meat is possible but the menu is very pescatarian-friendly.
