Fantastic food and service Celebrated our anniversary with a wonderful three course lunch. Each course we had was delicious. The service provided by Molly made the whole experience perfect. Can’t wait to return.
One of the better restaurants We dined in Hanson at the Chelsea on a week night in early August. we had brought our boat to Swansea Marina and the restaurants in that area did not appeal, so we walked uo the street to look for something better. Hansons were close to fully booked, but were able to accommodate us in a small basement space- not the most cosy area as it featured a dehumidifier which remained on show throughout service, but they did well to fit us in and the result was fine. Several other tables were also sat in the basement and we enjoyed some friendly chat with them, which made the night good fun. The food was of a high standard and brought out in a timely fashion given that the restaurant was very busy. One or two minor service slip-ups occurred- athe table next to us never got their olives and we didn’t receive a jug of water- but these are minor points. Recommended (especially against the chain-food wasteland that seems to be the rest of Swansea’s commercial centre) and we would visit again. Excellent Lunch I dropped in for lunch with a client without a reservation and quite late but was still accommodated.Lunch was excellent, starters were sardines and smoked salmon, mains were fish and chips and hake fillet followed by Creme Brulee. Food was full of flavour and well presented and the total came to £57 including drinks.Friendly staff and good background music at the right volume.Definitely on my return list and highly recommended. Great lunch Wonderful food – all enjoyed; especially the fish cakes and belly pork. Friendly staff but a bit overwhelmed at times. Good location and well presented food. A must try in Swansea. MOST CONSISTENT RESTAURANT IN SWANSEA I eat out a lot and probably 3 or 4 times a week in Swansea alone… I have reviewed this establishment before but felt that I wanted to review again to say that this is probably the most consistent restaurant in Swansea for excellent food and service. So many places have ups and downs depending on who is cheffing and who is serving but every single time that I have been to Cheslea everything is so consistent to such a high standard. Its probably because the head chef and I suspect the head waiting staff never change, but so many establishments could learn from them as there is nothing worse than having several good meals somewhere and then it suddenly taking a dip every now and then. If you want an excellent meal then you will not be disappointed here whether you are dining alone, as a small party or a large party of a dozen or so, the food and service is exactly the same. Above average but could be excellent We had a lovely lunch here. It’s a small place and our server kept apologising for the waits which were fine and not excessive! Very reasonable lunch menu- we both loved our starters. The mains were fine but not as good as the starters. The reason I can only give 4 stars. The service needs a few tweaks. Two servers on duty and they were both lovely and friendly. But… we had to ask for a spoon for the soup starter, a steak knife for the main course and our Prosecco was brought to us in an ice bucket but once the bottle was dispatched into the table the ice bucket was taken. Also I was asked to place orders for me and my partner while he was in the loo. None of this are dealbreakers- they were lovely and I hope this is constructively (recognise they were busy!) – but the focus seemed a bit off. We’ll come again probably! Gourmet Excellent food with diverse choice in an unassuming location. So close to Christmas we were lucky to get a table. Good food good service Eight of us ate at Hansons the food was good as was the service. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Only down side was there are lots of covers in a small area. 
Fine and original combination of tastes Excellent restaurant. Traditional but original combination of tastes giving a nice arrangement on the plate and a delight in the mouth. And also very friendly staff and very cosy atmosphere. Summary: perfect! A gem This restaurant is an absolute gem. We were welcomed and seated on arrival perfectly. The restaurant is quite small but has a lovely atmosphere. The food was extremely good, I would recommend and definitely return. Outstanding Great atmosphere..amazing food..and friendly but professional service all adds up to an outstanding afternoon! Best Restaurant in Swansea. We frequently dine out as a group of middle aged people and have tried the majority of restaurants is Swansea and in our opinion The Chelsea Cafe is “The Best”.A lovely atmosphere, very good service and outstanding food at reasonable prices.We have eaten here many times both for lunch and dinner. No matter what we pick everyone thoroughly enjoys the food.We cannot recommend the place highly enough. mmmmmmm bop Wind st to the left of me, The Cross Keys to my right.Here I am stuck in the middle with….. Suprisingly nice food!OK so for my first (of many) trip advisor reviews, here goes;The service was great, I was really impressed by the speed of service, politeness and friendliness of our waitress, another good thing is that although it wasnt too busy she wasnt hovering around us which can often be off putting.Its a nice, cosy place clean and the music was nice enough and quiet enough but not silent. The toilets were very clean which was great but its worth mentioning that you have to climb a steep and narrow (although fairly small) staircase to get there.Now, the important bit- the menu/ food… The menu is great in terms of choice, although a minor complaint is that it wasnt easy to read- pretty heavy on the italics!! I really struggled to make a decission as basically Im greedy and wanted all of it! luckily the friends I was with are a generous bunch and so I tried a bit of everything. I ate the pork starter followed by a seabass special for main- both of which were incredible! The set meal options looked pretty good value and quality too.So, in short- I am very happy to recommend this place! Beajouliase Day Excellent meal and service as allways good choice on menu wine was excellent good value best meal in Swansea on thi sday we have tried all the other well known establishments we shall return Excellent food and service… can’t fault it! Wow… we dined here on our first night in Swansea and what a delight. Starting with Scallops served with black pudding and duck rillettes with a duck egg and toast and followed by the Welsh salt marsh lamb, this was a delightful meal. The lamb comprised 3 large lamb cutlets, served pink, and a small pan of gorgeous shepherds pie… the accompaniment was dauphinois potatoes, mash and a root purée…. we ordered a side of mixed vegetables merely to add a little contrast to the richness. To finish the meal we shared the dessert platter…. wow! Three desserts -all amazing – bread and butter pudding, Creme brûlée and cheesecake and a small selection of cheese and crackers…. an amazing finale. We left with a very full feeling, hoping that the standard would be repeated the following evening at another Swansea restaurant…. sadly it wasn’t! A ‘must visit’ if in Swansea. Hanson at the Chelsea Fantastic little restaurant specialising in seafood. Food was great and the service friendly. We were a large party but even though the restaurant is small the staff coped well and all the food was on time and hot! Book to avoid disappointment. Excellent 🙂 You pay for what you get.Myself and my partner tried it for the first time and weren’t disappointed. Service was great, atmosphere lovely and the food was fantastic. Choices were more than enough.Can’t wait to go back 🙂 Simply great! My husband and I have been here a few times and have taken people here too. It’s our favourite place to eat in Swansea. It’s not all chrome and shiney things, it’s not pretentious, it is just – simply great!It’s not big and it’s not overly fancy but it does really good food choices, with quality ingredients, cooked really well, served by friendly people and the price is incredibly reasonable. We are always surprised that it is not busier given what it offers. We don’t live in Swansea so we aren’t able to be regulars, but if we lived closer we would be. Fantastic evening Haven’t been here for some time but glad we did. What a superb welcome by staff at Hanson at the Chelsea. We ate superb food and enjoyed some lovely wine. The starters were scallops for my wife and I had the fish cake with Perl Las. For main we had the belly pork and the steak which were cooked to perfection.. Thanks to Andrew Hanson and his staff for a great evening looking forward to returning soon. Amizing quality and value Hansons just gets better, faultless. Great wine and amazing food. The scallops with haggis are fantastic. I run out of superlatives. I am dairy and wheat free, this is never an issue. Great restaurant, staff are great. Amazing value for the quality, i just wish it was closer, we live in Nottingham. One of the Very Best Restaurants in or around Swansea. We often have lunch or dinner at the Chelsea Cafe and have done for a number of years.The food and service is always first class and the atmosphere is very pleasant.The menu is extensive and there are also daily specials to choose from, so there will be something to suit all tastes.The wine list is also good, albeit a bit pricey, but not more than other comparable restaurants.We highly recommend the Chelsea Cafe for lunch and for dinner and for special occasions. Fantastic restaurant in the centre of Swansea Went here with friends (2 couples) on the basis of trip advisor and was so pleased we did. Service was great and the food was incredible. They were very good with my gluten free requirements (I’m coeliac) and the food was delicious. The scallops and smoked salmon starters were great and the lamb main and duck main were very tasty. Great find off the main strip of Wind Street and would definitely return. Fine and original combination of tastes Excellent restaurant. Traditional but original combination of tastes giving a nice arrangement on the plate and a delight in the mouth. And also very friendly staff and very cosy atmosphere. Summary: perfect! Evening Meal with a friend We asked what the chef recommended. He said, via the waitress, Mollie, that the Halibut was exceptionally good that day (6th June). We took his advice. It was ‘melt in the mouth’ delicious. Always an excellent meal whether day or evening. As my old school friend who now lives in Canada was over at her birthday time.. I naturally took her to the best restaurant in Swansea. Many visits. The venue is nicely intimate, and the food great.The atmosphere is most pleasantand the staff polite and efficient.Been many times and never disappointed. chelsea cafe Advance booking needed.Small with a lovely cosy atmosphere.Very frendly staff. Excellent food, reasonably priced.Duck egg & pate with soldiers a very nice starter as was the salmon fishcake.The lamb main was absolutely delicious,unfortunatly we didn’t have space for a desert after the first 2 courses.This place is consistantly excelent. Sneaky Supper Took advantage of a free evening and a very handy voucher that gave us the 6 course taster menu at an amazing price. Our second visit to this restaurant did not disappoint. The food is excellent, service to match. We will be back, soon hopefully. Great but… Fantastic service, great food, but a very uninspiring cheese board to finish with. Would have expected more local cheese than those served. A very nice and pleasant lunch for two. 🙂 My wife and I visited for lunch, we arrived just after 12 and found the place empty, within minutes of sitting down many of the tables filled up, some of which were obviously very regular. We were served by a pleasant young lady who took the time to discuss the various options on the menu. My wife ordered, Starter = PateMain= Hadock She says her food was Beautiful !I ordered, Starter= Popcorn Cockles.Main = Fish and chips .My food was lovely as well. We were tempted by the three courses but decided to stay with the two course’s for £12:95 which was a fair price. My wife and I would recommend this restaurant however for me I should have picked something more exciting than the Fish and Chips. To the owner, thanks for a lovely lunch. Lovely food!! Dined here with my wife on NYE 2011 and was totally impressed with the 5 course meal on offer for £40 per head. The rack of lamb was to die for…. absolute heaven!! Staff were polite and attentive. Reasonably priced to considering the quality of the food. Book a table in advance as restaurant is quite small. Will defintely return. A nice find Went here as part of my father in law 70th Birthday celebrations. We booked a table for 12 of us. It’s a small restaurant but has a nice atmosphere. We all had starters and mains. I brought my five year old. The website said that they do a children’s menu but they don’t. My son just had some chips.I had the Swansea salmon with melon, capers, pickles and horseradish to start. It was lovely. My husband had the scallops and laverbread and cockle crumble. I had the duck confit. It was nice but a bit greasy. The potato gratin was tasty. My husband had the steak and from the varied meals everybody enjoyed.The restaurant is close to wine street and was a few drunks around and loud. Worth noting that the only toilet is upstairs, and very steep stairs. It isn’t cheap but you are paying for quality. Local food well cooked and presented As usual Hansons was good for a business meal with good choice from the main menu and the specials. Fish, meat and veggie options and yummy puddings and wine. A good safe choice. Birthday celebrations for my dad Once again we chose to celebrate my dads birthday at the Chelsea Cafe, as usual everything was delicious, service was excellent and to top it all they had my dad’s favourite liquor (Kaluha) for him to enjoy with his coffee after a stunning 3 course meal. Will we be back ? Definitely – but we won’t be waiting till dad’s next birthday !! Amazing lunch This restaurant is so good. Food and service are excellent. We had a delicious lunch from the reasonably-priced menu. Surprise visit for birthday meal My husband booked Hanson’s for a birthday meal with my family. We haven’t been there as a couple for quite a few years (anniversary I think) and I had forgotten how wonderful the food is. We visited on a Tuesday evening this time and were surprised to see a few couples there aswell. For such an exceptional restaurant, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The waiter (sorry I’m hopeless with names) was very friendly and attentive without being imposing. Although the menu and environment is probably more suited to adults, my teenagers enjoyed themselves immensely (which probably increased my enjoyment) and ate more than they usually do!!! I don’t know why it’s taken us so long to return… I really don’t… but top brownie points to my husband on my special day! My favourite place Just love this place. Don’t be fooled by the plain exterior. Word of warning, don’t go if you are in a rush or want fast food, and this is by no means a criticism!! The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is as excellent as the food! Nothing too much trouble, you don’t get hassled to order, to finish, to pay..I cannot recommend restaurant enough. I have visited over years have never had a bad meal. I just love this place!! Take someone special…You won’t regret it, I never have 🙂 Nearly excellent but not quite Service was attentive and helpful.Scallops delicious but rice slightly underdone.Gower lamb was excellent- cooked to perfection. The combination of accompaniments was very well chosen. Chocolate tarte was superb.To improve:1, need a selection of the excellent local beers and cider. Would recommend Afail y Craig cider.2, when you clear a table and twelve people have been sat there talking, laughing and eating over the glasses- never, absolutely never put the unused glasses back on the clean glass shelf. I was horrified! Those glasses had not been drunk out of but were covered in germs from the talking, laughing and eating. They needed to be cleaned. You can’t have your Micheline star – not yet. But you have the potential. So get that sorted and you will be great. “BEAUTIFULLY COOKED AND PRESENTATION WAS STUNNING” Visited this restaurant last night September 15th, along with my husband and 11 year old son. We all had a three course meal and every plate was beautifully presented. My husband had the french onion soup, which was to die for. My son and I both had the scallopes, which were beautifully presented and tasty. The duck was also to die for….just melted in the mouth. My husband had the bass and my son had the sirloin both of which were also lovely. Desserts …. Well what can I say…..All homemade, the lemon tart….Gorgeous…..The chocolate pecan tart….Gorgeous. As for the restaurant, it is a lovely relaxing atmosphere, and a lovely helpful waitress.I definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasion and will certainly be going back there. Good (rather than very good) lunch time visit We have eaten here before but not for a while so thought it was about time we revisited. In our opinion the exterior looks a little in need of a bit of a make over but it doesn’t help that the place opposite is undergoing a refurbishment. The interior is only small (around 10 tables) but it has a nice atmosphere. We ate from their lunch time set menu 2 courses @ £13.95, 3 courses @ £17.95 (they also have a specials a la carte menu.) An enjoyable lunch, friendly efficient waitress, good cooking, nicely presented food and good value for money. We would return. PS – One thing worth noting however is that the toilet is up a steep flight of stairs – there is no ground floor disabled toilet. Superb I had dinner at Hanson at the Chelsea with a work colleague in early August 2014. This was my second visit to the restaurant and in both occasions the food and service has been superb. The restaurant is quite small and has a nice atmosphere. The menu and wine lists are both extensive with specials added to the chalk boards and the friendly and knowledgeable staff will also help and advise. The deserts are a particular treat.I would warmly recommend this restaurant whatever the occasion. Top Notch, go there How is this place not number one in Swansea. Been to pretty much all of the better restaurants in the area and this place is well up there. It’s actually up there with some of the better London restaurants. Deserves its good ratings. Good quality wine list is also well priced Local food, beautifully cooked This is the third time I’ve been here mainly for work, it is a small restaurant with a nice ambience. Food is based on local and welsh produce and is pria daily meat and fish, but does have a small range of vegetarian options. A good wine list complements the food. I had butternut squash soup which was nice, though a little under seasoned. For mains I had salmon with mozzarella, figs, avocado … I could have done with some more vegetables on the table. Dessert was a trio which were really nice. All in all, a nice meal though service was a little slow, especially towards the end of the evening. I would recommend it. A Gem ! small and unimposing . Def worth visiting! Family Meal – Travelzoo offer for 4 – Taster Menu. I am vegetarian which is not specifically catered for on the menu but i was offered lovely options. From delicious soup in quaint mini cup and saucer – to the delicious pretty after din chocs the whole evening was wonderful. Exciting to see what was coming next! Luckily they didnt have the duck so my husband and teenage daughter were offered fillet steak which they much preferred. We arrived at 7and left 9.45pm so dont expect a quick meal. We loved the atmosphere and had such an enjoyable evening as we were not sure what to expect. The choc brownie was really delicious! We were all full! The young servers were lovely. It was very warm in the restaurant. I would def recommend and we all agreed the evening for my husbands birthday was a resounding success!! Thanks all xxxxjoy salini xxxx Must be one of Swansea’s best! Although I haven’t tried many of Swansea’s restaurants this must be one of the cities best posh nosh places! As I live in London I won’t be visiting again soon but it’s defiantly on my ‘recommend to a friend’ list.The restaurant has an intimate feel. Great for a date although there was a selection of different groups eating including friends and family tables. It can get a little noisy if you are next to a loud table, the table of four next to us had enjoyed a few drinks and could be a little distracting.I was there having dinner with my mother and at £8.95 we both had high hopes for the starter. We were not disappointed! Three scallops, excellently cooked, on a garlic bread slice with a pot of crumbed lava bread on the side. Excellent! Although the generous starter sadly meant we had filled up before the main even arrived. I had the steak and my mother the pork belly. The pork belly was very rich, as it often can be, and the cracking was disappointing, as it often can be. My choice however of the fillet steak was much better, reasonably priced at £19.95 and cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. The food was rich but full of flavour…an excellent place for a treat meal when the occasion arises!The staff were on the whole friendly except for one very miserable waitress who served wine (don’t ask her for anything else!). However the service was slow, no apologies were made for the wait and we had to go to service counter to pay.My advice go hungry, choose carefully and leave plenty of time! But with that in mind, the Hanson at the Chelsea should not disappoint. Faultless Went here for the first time for my birthday with my partner. Honestly one of the best meals I’ve eaten, starter and main ( no room for dessert, unfortunately). Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was just right. Cannot recommend enough. Best restaurant in Swansea Hands down the best place to eat in Swansea, I’ve eaten here twice, the food is gorgeous and the staff are so lovely☺️ Very good food, poor waitressing Had to book a couple of weeks in advance but was understandable as the restaurant is one of the best in the city and holds 2 AA Rosettes. I booked here as my parents were coming down to visit me at University. We arrived and were immediately seated , the first waitress that served us was quite cold and didn’t seem like she wanted to be there. The other waitresses were helpful but not attentive as we had to call to ask for the dessert menus and the bill despite our plates not being cleared, this was the same for a couple of other tables. We all ordered different starters, mains and desserts and all thoroughly enjoyed, just wished that the service was as good as the food. excellent food, grotty staff! food first classstaff rude – one in particular, stinks of cigarette smoke!very unfriendlyspent over £400, not even a thank you or good bye. Excellent meal Went to the Chelsea Cafe last night with family to celebrate a 25th wedding anniversary. This is my second visit to the cafe, the first being a lunch and this being my first dinner. The place was busy with every table full and had a nice ambient feeling of conversation. The place isn’t the biggest so it is quite intimate and although being full there was no sense of urgency or panic from staff you get in some places. Service was swift efficient and relaxed. At no time did I feel rushed or that the server was rushed. For starter I had the mackerel with creme fresh, beetroot and capers. It was absolutely beautiful. The fish was perfectly cooked, moist with a lovely flavor and when complimented with the creme fresh was perfect. There was just the right amount to set me off for my main which was a good old fish and chips. Now I order fish and chips everywhere being it is one of my favorite dishes. Here it was beautiful. The batter was crispy and full of flavour and the fish itself was juicy and succulent cod. The tartar sauce was perfect and the chips… The chips were incredible, cooked in duck fat they were a treat themselves. The desert I had the vanilla cheesecake with vanilla and mascoponi cheese with raspberry coulis. This was full of flavour and although started light got a bit rich by the end. It was nice to get a real size portion though. The entire trip was excellent. Food, service and price for what we had. The bill came to around £230 for eight of us, three courses for all but two, coffees and numerous bottles of wine. Starters were around 6-10 mains 12-25 and deserts just shy of 6 pounds. A great place to eat be it for lunch or dinner. Well worth a try some of the best food in swansea. Also try and choose fish, it is the speciality and you will not be disappointed. The only flaw was that they didn’t serve custard with the crumble. This isn’t a huge deal but if you like crumble you tend to like it with custard. saturday afternoon visited with friends after colleagues had recommended it. we went for the set lunch which was excellent – the food was well presented and everyone enjoyed their meal. although we were the last customers to leave we did not feel under pressure to leave and was face with warm and friendly staff. if you want a table in the evening be prepared to book early due to the fact that they appear to be fully booked weeks in advance. i am sure if you visit you will enjoy!! Fantastic food in a little hidden gem We visited on a Monday night and were delighted with the food served and the atmosphere at this fantastic little restaurant. The menu choice was extensive, and reasonably priced for the quality of meals we received. It’s location at a lane adjoining wind street means that sometimes the area outside can be very busy but don’t let that put you off! It’s well worth a visit but I would suggest making a reservation would be the best option as its not a large space, and even on a Monday night it was very popular. A Perfect lunch First class and great value lunch time menu at Hansons! Food was delicious, service was lovely. Will be going again soon (if we can get a babysitter). Well done Hansons… You’ve got it just right! A little gem Took a friend out on a special birthday lunch didn’t know what to expect and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is small and friendly, the food was excellent, as was the service and the house white was delicious. Cant wait to go back. Beautifully gorgeous Visited with a group of girlfriends for lunch today. Lovely welcome even though we were slightly late. The staff were warm and friendly but also professional. The food was gorgeous. The mushroom soup was to die for. The salmon was beautifully done. Others had the steak which was completely tender. Would visit again and again Quality all the way! Superb menu choice, could have picked so many dishes, amazing flavours, everything done so simply well – not a surprise I guess from a chef trained in a well know London establishment. We’ll be back v soon! SUBLIME Meal was simply outstanding. Husband had the mackerel to start I had the goats cheese, duck and fillet of steak for mains. Service was sublime – highly recommended and will return. 5 star service & food!! A long overdue visit for us, and a lovely experience all round. We went for the 7 course “taster” menu, amazing value for money at only £40 pp for such excellence. Have paid far more than that at other more pretentious restaurants, and have come away feeling hungry, unlike the generous taster portions we enjoyed this evening, As a footnote, credit is due also to the amazing Molly, who single-handedly waited on a full restaurant this evening, such efficiency on her part added greatly to our experience👍👍 surprise find Wonderful food beautifully presented their speciality fresh fish. Extensive menu. A lovely ambience. Good service. Abrilliant find in the centre of Swansea Fantastic Went for lunch for our anniversary. The meal was absolutely outstanding. My wife had the 7 course taster menu. She said it was the best meal she ever had. I had the venison Ragu to start, ribeye for main and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I don’t think I gave ever had a nicer steak. It was cooked perfectly all the way through.Andrew , the owner came out after he had finished cooking and sat down to talk to us. Such a lovely touch. I would recommend anyone to go and have food at the restaurant as I believe it is the best restaurant in Swansea We will definitely be going back! Good food and Great Service Have to call to book a table for four. It was a bit hard to locate due to poor street lighting. Finally had to ask for directions. Got seated and started to order our starters and followed by the main dishes. I didn’t have to wait too long and the food was served. The food tasted great and I was happy with the service as well. The premises were small and I was told it could only accommodate 32 guests. I would recommend and will definitely come back if I am in Swansea in the near future. Very good food, average atmosphere Me and three friends had a nice dinner at Hanson last weekend. Their food is delicious. Very nicely cooked and full of flavour. I especially enjoyed their Halibut steak fillet served on a bed of mussels and clams. Yummy! Overall, we had a great evening, but to be completely honest I think the place lacks in ambient and atmosphere. The room is a bit too boring and plain. Moreover, the service went up and down during the evening (the service provided by the male waiter was very nice, while the ones received from the female waiter was not). Excellent Lunch I dropped in for lunch with a client without a reservation and quite late but was still accommodated.Lunch was excellent, starters were sardines and smoked salmon, mains were fish and chips and hake fillet followed by Creme Brulee. Food was full of flavour and well presented and the total came to £57 including drinks.Friendly staff and good background music at the right volume.Definitely on my return list and highly recommended. Hervorragendes Restaurant Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend in diesem Restaurant. Das Ambiente ist sehr angenehm und es ist sehr ruhig zum Essen, anders als in den vielen Pubs und Restaurants in der Wind Street. Das Restaurant liegt sehr zentral nur 50 m in einer Seitenstrasse zur Wind Street. Das Essen und der Service waren hervorragend. Wir können das Restaurant auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen! Reliably good food Lovely food, well cooked and nicely presented. Prefer lunchtime as more reasonably priced. Pity vegetables cost extra in evening. Well worth a visit!! mu husband and i went for dinner last night. We are my no means regulars but try and go twice a year. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! The food is amazing, great atmosphere, lovely staff and an all round great experience. Miss it miss out!! Fabulous food,amazing staff We love this resturant, our favourite. The quality of the food, the different tastes, the presentation, the wine, cant fault anything.Andrew, Molly and all the other staff are friendly, nothing is too much trouble.This time we visited we took my brother and his wife, they were truly impressed. Thank you Andrew, Molly and all the other staff.See you soon. Quality in a small setting Took advantage of a Travelzoo offer and had the special menu. Good choices, well cooked. Well presented. Very tasty, although a bit too rich. Excellent service and a great atmosphere. Will go again Great food – a bit cramped To be fair we ate here because of the reviews and menu and we weren’t disappointed. Excellent choices from a short-ish menu and some good wine options. We were downstairs and knew we’d be there when we booked (don’t leave it late to book!) and this was the only real downside to the evening. I had my back to an entrance which the servers came through from upstairs – and, wasn’t able to see them coming so it all felt very closed in and slightly uncomfortable. Had the table been set the other way then perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. Though had it been done like that there may not have been enough room for us!)I’d definitely go here again despite the noise & heat the small rooms generated – the food is definitely worth it. Great food, nice service, very friendly. For me the portion size was perfect. The food was cooked to perfection and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend, but not if you have a massive appetite. Reasonably priced for 2 courses. Warm welcome on a cold night As a lone female business traveler, it is a great comfort to find such a welcoming place to eat. The waitress even remembered that I had been there before – very cheering!The food is superb, with great credit to the chefs for the variety and inventiveness of dishes, so that the best use is made of local products. The crab and local salmon dishes are recommended.There is one huge fault…this restaurant is in Swansea… but I live in Cambridge. However, I will visit this splendid place whenever I can find an excuse to be in the area! Very Good first visit I certainly didn’t have high expectations having used hungry horses locally. Excellent service food was speedy and more importantly well cooked. Everyone was very professional and the facility very clean. Location/parking brilliant. Great food Attended this restaurant today for a baby shower,we were downstairs.I had read that the food was excellent, and it was,very very good.The only drawback, was the size of the rooms,it was ok where we were as we were all together,and was great that we could make a lot of noise.Upstairs would put me off going, as everyone was on top of each other,with no privacy.But as I say,excellent food,really great. Very good meal I visited this restaurant with a group of friends. I was very impressed with the dishes offered on the menu, many of which you would not expect to see in an average restaurant. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal (all three courses!). The service was also good, friendly and attentive. My only complaint would be the location of the table on which we were sat. It was so close to the kitchen/serving area that I was constantly aware of the waitress walking behind me with plates and dishes (don’t know if there is a health and safety issue with this). If I go again, I would ask to be sat at another table. Lunchtime visit. Visited for birthday celebration lunch. Small restaurant in the middle of the city – seats approximately 30. Good choice on menu. Chose from lunch time menu and had chose the two course menu not three course. There was also a set lunch menu. Service was quite slow but enabled us to catch up on news as we hadn’t seen each other for a while. Would visit this restaurant again on a special occasion. Shame I don’t like fish! Excellent meal but when I went limited choice of meat or veggie dishes – it was a long time ago so check – this may have changed, Absolutely Superb It was my birthday and we arrived early, my wife and my elderly parents. The staff were attentive and chatty, and gave recommendations, they were faultless, we found out later they were actually mother and daughter.Food was superb, starters consisted of scallops with quails egg, Smoked salmon and cream of mushroom soup, all of which were excellent. mains were Pork, Hake and lamb which again were inspired. I am allergic to cows milk and wheat but they made sure I was catered for. No desserts just liqueurs, our second visit since March and will return soon, faultless and excellent value. Birthday lunch Just had a beautiful lunch with my friend for our shared birthday. I had the cod in tempura batter which was superb white fish in the lightest of batters. Followed by a perfect creme brulee. Service was excellent, only downfall was that it was a little noisy. But will definitely return. Best restaurant in Swansea Such a find I just wish I’d found it sooner! Honestly the food is amazing, brilliant flavours, cooked perfectly and makes you want to go back time and time again! The chef is without a doubt on another level than most in Swansea and creates a range of mouth watering dishes throughout the year. I’ve been there several times and found both the atmosphere and service very warm, relaxed and friendly. I’d recommend for special occasions or a week day meal as they do great deals. Suitable for couples, family, friends, business or solo. Can’t wait to go back! Lovely food, nice birthday treat We went here for my birthday and there was a group of 5 of us. We were seated downstairs and we were the only ones downstairs. This was fine as we were a group but would have been disappointing if there were less of us. We all chose the steak and it was excellent. Also the trio of puddings was quite literally like having 3 desserts – I definitely recommend them! A hidden gem in the city centre Had a fabulous meal at this small and friendly restaurant just off Wind Street in the heart of Swansea city centre. We were worried it might be deserted on a Thursday evening, but were pleased to find a few other discerning diners enjoying their meals. The waitress was very friendly and helpful and not at all overbearing. The menu offered plenty of choice, including seafood, steak, and other meaty choices. The set menu was good value at £20 for three courses (but it was a little hard to read the handwriting on the chalk board!).I had mussels to start – really delicious in a creamy garlicky sauce, really fresh and cooked to perfection. Then I had fillets of sea bass accompanied by a fabulous scallop on a kind of tapenade base, and a king prawn tempura. All excellent. Even the accompanying veg was cooked to perfection – no soggy mange tout here! I went for seafood, as its the speciality – but my friends also enjoyed the 8-hour cooked pork belly and the 28-day aged fillet of beef. No complaints on anything! Puddings were amazing too!We paid around £30 – £35 a head including three courses, extras, liqueur coffees and wine.This place has a really nice ambience and we were there from 7:30pm till 10:30pm – didn’t want to leave! All in all it was really a top quality meal (and my standards are quite high!) and the place really deserves its 2 AA rosettes! An excellent choice for a top class dinner in the city centre – and I’ll be taking the inlaws next time they visit! A gem of a place We have passed this place scores of times and took the plunge.What a wonderful experience.Its cozy quaint and the food superb.There is a specials board to drool over but you are still spoilt for choice.Service was smooth and attentive and top marks to the charm of the waitresses.Besides the quality of the food it was a pleasure to pay a reasonable price for the wine rather than an inflated cost.Infact it was cheaper than most pubs etc.It really caught our tastebuds and we will definitely return with family.It is perfect for romantic couples.The proof is “in the pudding ” as they say.It was just about right for atmosphere.Try it.You will not be disappointed.An excellent experience for us. superb The food and service here is great cooked properly presented nicely and very tasty would visit her again and would recommend this restaurant Let us know what we were able to do for you.
