Reviews Rhosyn Restaurant

A romantic location. The décor and building are stunning. The service is immaculate. The wine list is comprehensive. The food, while good, isn't quite up to same standard. The modern British tapas-style menu is limited and, while the presentation of the dishes is strong, the flavours aren't consistently at the international fine dining level you might expect given the price and surroundings.

Lots of potential for this to be a fantastic restaurant but a few basics letting them down at the moment. ✅ setting, views and ambiance - lovely balance of traditional and contemporary decor. Nicely spaced out tables for privacy. Gorgeous sweeping views over Tenby golf course and to the sea. ✅ 2-3 of the dishes we had were truly fantastic. Cut above normal ‘good’ restaurants (cauliflower rarebit, cheese cabbage and lemon dessert). This is why I say it’s got great potential. Other dishes…. Chicken was delicious (sauce was great) but was a bit salty. Fishcake was close to being fantastic but a touch dry and the sauce could do with a bit more umph ✅ young blonde lady serving food was very friendly and professional ❌ it sells its small plates menu (only one available when we want) as ‘Tapas’ style yet we were pressured about 4 times to order everything up front because “the kitchen prefer it that way”… well the customers won’t prefer it that way and that’s not tapas style. We were promised the dishes would be staggered (I didn’t believe this but chose to not continue debating it) …. Sure enough we had 4 of our 6 plates delivered at the same time. To sum this up I asked to order some bread and olives to go with our martinis before dinner and was told “I’ll have to check with the kitchen as they like the order at the same time”….. for bread and olives!! That sadly set a very small but negative tone for the meal. Advice - do what’s right for the customers not what’s right for the kitchen. Either order up front and make sure you stagger it like a tasting menu… or let people order as they go. ❌ aside from the food server the service was a touch lax. Nothing major just basics that tilt a place from good to a great experience. Talked about the pressuring / rushing above. Didn’t ask us how the meal was at the end. When asking for the bathroom ‘oh it’s round the corner’ in a “whatever” sort of way etc. Asked for the bill and didn’t get one for 10 minutes so had to go up to ask again / pay. Small things that wouldn’t cost anything to improve ❌ lamb dish was overcooked and too salty

Lovely location for a delicious afternoon tea. Service was superb, and we would definitely return.

First time visit but definitely not the last. Food was wonderful. Service was excellent and setting was fantastic.
