What our diners say!

I've been to the Mussel Inn loads of times and never been dissapointed. Actually I once ate there 4 times over two days and felt no ill effects of consuming 2 kilos of mussels per day. If that is not a testament to the shear greatness of this restaurant, then I dont know what is. Love what you do and how you do it.
