Birthday Treat at the Chelsea Cafe. We as a group of friends visited the Chelsea Cafe for a birthday lunch and it was fantastic as always.The food and service is first class, I would truly say that this is the best restaurant in and around Swansea and we frequently dine out at many different places.I thoroughly recommend Hanson at the Chelsea cafe.
Fabulous Visited with a few friends at lunch time on Saturday the restaurant was full but the service was first class the staff were lovely and welcoming and attentive. We had a 3 course set meal plenty of choice and great value at 19.95 the food was exquisite and beautifully presented a definitive gem of a restaurant in the heart of Swansea well worth a visit Fantastic Fish Food Restaurant What a fantastic recommendation to visit this restaurant. If you like fish, then this is the place to go, excellent menu choice & specials board, good wine and very good service. will go again and will recommend to others 30 birthday meal Went here for my birthday with family and I have to say the meal was perfect from start to finish. Everything was so fresh and cooked perfectly I had the belly pork which hardly had any fat on and tasted amazing. The staff were also very professional and even made a dish off the menu for one guest. Will definitely return excellent lunch – worth booking we had a really good meal from the set lunch menu, to celebrate a family birthday.The menu offfered a good, sensible choice, and the food was well cooked and presented. The restaurant was pretty much full, but service was efficient and always friendly.We looked at the blackboard menu too, and were impressed with the local seafood on offer (though didn’t deviate from the good value set menu).For around £80 for three, including a decent bottle of wine and coffee, we felt this added up to an excellent experience. 
wife’s birthday excellent food- spoilt for choice, will have to go back soon- superb fish and loads of different meals Probably the finest food in Swansea I’ve been to Chelsea three times, and I’ve never been disappointed. The atmosphere is nice, warm and quiet, and the food is probably the best you can get in the city of Swansea. The lamb is particularly good, and obviously the fish never lets you down.The only thing they could improve a little is service, as once we’ve been served by a quite incompetent waitress, but that was because she was new, and to be honest it didn’t bother me at all, as the food was so nice!Definitely worth it. Surprised From the outside the restaurant looks like something out of a Dickensian novel. But once you walk in it is modern but not overdone. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Our waitress was extremely helpful. The food was a delight the only down side was that the food was so good you wanted to have bigger portions. Great Food Finally managed a table one Friday lunchtime after a couple of earlier attempts had met with a “sorry but fully booked”. And we could understand why. The fish dishes, for which the restaurant has a deservedly good reputation, were superb but the menu also offers a wide selection of dishes if fish is not your thing. Meals are cooked to order and service can be a bit slow so if time is of the essence then this is not for you. One couple who took their seats walked out before being served a drink which was a shame as they missed one of the best and most conistent restaurants in the Swansea area. 
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!! 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! Lush Lunch!!! ‘Hanson at the Chelsea’ was recommended to me by a representative that visited our company in the Midlands, he came from Swansea and I was off to the Gower on holiday, he said “you must go to this place, it is amazing”. I duly booked lunch to celebrate my 60th birthday – we were not disappointed – we chose from the selection of the set lunch menu and the food was locally sourced, imaginative, beautifully cooked and very well presented. This restaurant is a little gem hidden away on a side street and most certainly a credit to the owner, we will visit again, thank you, you made my birthday memorable and my waistline expand!! Really recommended Small restaurant. Reasonably priced set lunch. Excellent choice. Beautifully presented and served. Spoilt for choice for each course. Has a deservedly excellent reputation. Superb little restaurant Hidden away (you really have to look for it) is this hidden gem of a restaurant! Sophisticated yet rustic charm. excellent food, service and atmosphere. We both had the Fishcakes to start which were very thick, creamy and seemed to be shallow fried in panko breadcrumbs only. Full of fish and SO good. Filled us up so much, we hoped the mains were small, but no, large dishes again, a beautiful Flat Iron Steak Diane with sauce to die for! Our other dish was the Belly Pork with black pudding and apple. Delicious food with reasonable prices. Will definitely be back. Fabulous afternoon.. Had a beautiful meal with my wife on the day restrictions changed again, luckily before 6pm so could enjoy a drink too. Felt very Covid safe at all times.Fantastic quality to all courses, and wonderful service from Molly.Can’t wait to return again under more normal circumstances. 👌👌 Delicious We have always enjoyed dining here. On our last visit we used a Groupon voucher. We were a little aprenhensive as we were not sure that we would enjoy as much. We needn’t have worried. The menu was more limited on the offer ( which is the case in most restaurants ) however the taste and experience was not compromised. A visit here will not dissapoint you . Top class venue for lunch Delicious first class lunch in cosy environment. Menu choices were excellent , the meals were very impressive and the presentation equally so . Staff were lovely extremely polite and professional . All in all a fab lunch time treat. Would Definitely recommend as a upmarket establishment serving high quality delicious local food . Great food at a reasonable price. Been here a few times. Always great food. Recently I booked for valentines day for me and my girlfriend. Little bit of a mix up with the booking, but the girl that was there was very efficient and sorted it out quickly (not sure her name). After that we had a great meal, I had pâté and steak. Was very nice! Genuine fine dining Highly recommend this place if you want a great dining experience. Waitress was brilliant, really friendly and knowledgeable. Food was all top quality and fresh. The prices are not cheap but definitely worth every penny. Thanks for a great evening. 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. Glad we found it My wife and I were in Swansea for a couple of days and looking for nice place to lunch. We booked here but it is hidden away and we were on the point of giving up looking for it when we eventually found it. It is quite small and ” intimate” but cosy. It soon filled up with locals so booking is a must. We had the set menu which was varied with local twists – salmon fish cakes with local cheese centre, duck eggs and pate for starters. We both had the belly pork with black pudding. All very tasty and well presented, service good and reasonably priced- £40 for 2 inc drinks. The rest of the menu is very varied and well worth another visit the next time we are in swansea Annual review A great menu, made it difficult to choose at first; unfortunately, for a few of us, they didn’t have everything available, which was disappointing. There were 20 people which was a challenge, but the service could have been a little better; some waited ages even for a soft drink.The quality of the food was very good and no one complained about that.I would visit again, but would make sure that a large group is not going. Amazing!!! My favourite place to eat!! Food is always consistent and so well presented, and is delicious. Will continue to visit again and again!! Xx Every bite is a joy In Swansea, where the uplands diner is one of the highest rated establishments for food, I was delighted to find a restaurant that places quality above quantity. I’ve heard complaints from people about the service at Hanson’s. I can only go by my experience which was quite pleasant. I can’t say the service was particularly wonderful but there was certainly nothing to complain about. The service was adequate, but at a 5 star establishment, impeccable service would’ve tied together an otherwise brilliant dining experience.The menu was filled with dishes that I can only describe as traditional British food. To most, this doesn’t seem appealing but the moment my plate arrived I knew that traditional British cuisine this was not. I wasn’t presented with an abundance of food but it was just enough that I wasn’t overwhelmed. This was important as I had 3 courses. The amount didn’t seem to matter because the combination of flavors and the excellent way the food was cooked were truly surprising. Again, I cannot stress enough how well prepared the food was. From the wine to the starters to dessert, every bite was a joy. Perhaps my single visit was rare in its good outcome, perhaps continuous meals at different times would reveal unexposed weaknesses, or perhaps I’m just looking for excuses to keep going to Hanson at the Chelsea. 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 !! Another great lunch My second visit. Great lunch time menu. The food is fabulous and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The wine choice is great as well. Enjoyable lunch I have been here a couple of times recently for lunch and was impressed with the meal quality and the service..A reassuringly small selection of fixed price lunches at good value prices; when there is a large section it usually means lower quality in my experienceDecent wines are served by the glass as well as by the bottle. Fabulous food team night out What fabulous food a little gem of a find had fish ale to start and belly pork for main and cannot recommendation highly enough was absolutely delicious and filling I could not have a dessert will definitely be back A****** 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. El mejor restaurante de Swansea Coincido con muchas opiniones respecto al local, se encuentra en una calle lateral estrecha y de noche no muy iluminada. Además se trata de un sitio pequeño y con las mesas muy próximas entre si, la decoración es correcta.La carta no es muy extensa, porque trabajan con productos de temporada. Se trataba de una comida familiar, (cuatro miembros) y pedimos dos entrantes para compartir, cuatro platos principales, destacando el cordero y la lubina, y dos postres a destacar el pudding de toffee (Sticky Toffee Pudding) espectacular. Resumiendo por 158 libras, cenamos muy bien los cuatro.Sorprende que en toda la parte oeste de Gales incluyendo Swasea, ningún restaurante disponga de estrellas michelin, y que se incluyan tampocos. Este restaurante en concreto por su cocina creo que la podría recibir fácilmente, pero es posible que sea culpa del local y el entorno que no la reciba. Best yet! Best place in Swansea to date.Bit pricey but well worth it.Not usually fussed on lamb but went for the rack of lamb and was gorgeous.Starters excellent. Good wine selection. Staff friendly too.Will be going again soon. Don’t judge a book by its cover We visited the restaurant on a Wednesday evening in April for our anniversary. In terms of location – it’s great – in a side street off Wind Street. The only negative about the location is that there seemed to be a lot of homeless people in the vicinity – obviously nothing the restaurant can do about that, but it sometimes helps to be prepared!I’ll be honest – the layout and furniture didn’t look like a 2 AA rosette restaurant – it was pleasant enough in a cafe/bistro type style, but not quite what we were expecting. The bread provided at the start was average at best – nothing fancy – just sliced soft bread… Bit odd. But it sure picked up after that!Both had starters – scallops and pork rillade – great! Main courses were a steak and the Welsh Trio. Absolutely fantastic flavours, well cooked and beautifully presented. I couldn’t manage a pudding, but the hubby had one and that was equally delicious apparently!So, in summary, if your focus is on the quality of the food, I would definitely recommend coming here! 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. AMAZING meal!!! My friend and I visited here in June. It was last minute and we managed to get a booking thank God!!! I had never been before and it was a nice cosy restaurant with not many tables which suited us fine.The food I had was out of this world!!! For starter I had a salmon & potato fishcake with a per las centre, mushy peas and cockle popcorn. I don’t even like mushy peas or cockles but I eat every last bit and loved all of it!!! The best starter I have ever had and I was gutted when it ended!!!For main we both had a rare sirloin steak, triple cooked chips, onion rings and bearnaise sauce. Again it was out of this world!!! The steak was like butter and melted in the mouth, it was so tasty!!! It was also my first try of bearnaise sauce which was delicious!!!I would thouroughly recommend the cafe. I’d say the prices are mid-high but the quality and taste of the food is worth every penny. I have also visited for lunch since then and the lunch menu is very reasonable.Can’t wait to visit again!!! Highly recommend Very impressed! I had seafood and my partner had steak both dishes were beautifully cooked. And the deserts were out of this world.Staff were greatWould highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation. Reliably good food Lovely food, well cooked and nicely presented. Prefer lunchtime as more reasonably priced. Pity vegetables cost extra in evening. Perfect for any occasion or just for a little self indulgence. This is the third time we have visited this delightful restaurant. It is consistently excellent and well worth a visit. We were visitors to Swansea but for the locals it is clearly a favourite. We had the lunchtime menu and eventually chose salmon fish cake and chicken liver parfait, followed by hake in a light sauce, and to finish cheesecake. All excellent.The staff are polite, efficient and very helpful. Again a memorable experience and we both are looking forward to our next visit. Anniversary Visit Booked as a last minute thing and I can say, without reservation, that you should make time to dine at this gem of an establishment is you are in Swansea.We started with Scallops, had a main of a Hanson’s Trio, and a beautiful desert of a Tahitian Vanilla Creme Brûlée. We couldn’t fault a single thing. Everything was cooked to perfection and the desert was served with a special anniversary message. The waitress is a credit to this establishment. She waited on all the tables alone and did so without fuss or effort. Nothing was too much effort.If you add to this the fact that the prices were more than reasonable I can say that I was blown away with the quality of everything. Even the champagne was inexpensive compared to other venues. This is certainly a place which should not be missed. It is worth travelling to and deserves more credit than it gets. The awards it received over the years only back up how good it is. 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. very nice lunch we’d love to have lunch in Hanson’s at chelsea cafe. the food were fresh pepared and worth for it because the dinner were expensive campare lunch. so we will definitely go again for lunch. 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! I want to eat here everyday! Absolutely beautiful! The staff are brilliant and very attentive. I have never been to a place like this before so was worried if i would like it but i was pleasantly suprised. Food took 10-15 minutes to come and was hot. Beautifully presented. Very good range of different foods to have. The 1 thing I have to mention is that nothing is ever too much trouble!! If u want cheesey mash with your steak instead of chips then no problem, if you dont want your cod in batter then no problem I even heard somebody order ‘whatever the chef wants to give me’. Would definately eat here again without a doubt! A hidden gem This place was not easy to find as it doesn’t scream its name from a great big sign like other places and I think we’d walked past it twice before spotting the writing on the window. Luckily we’d booked as it did get quite busy and it’s quite a small place.I went for the three courses from the set menu and was pleasantly surprised with every course. My chicken liver pate was superb: smooth, almost creamy and delicious enough to shut me up for ten minutes. My main was fillet of salmon and again, this was cooked to perfection so that it only needed the slightest touch of the fork. I finished with Welsh cheeses and, again, I thoroughly enjoyed every morsel and left nothing! The wine was very reasonable and both the Pinotage and Pinot Noir we tried were excellent.Next time I’m due a trip to Swansea I’ll save myself hours of trawling through list of restaurants and just book this one again.Apologies, but I’m not going to recommend it for families with kids as that would spoil it for the rest of us who thoroughly enjoyed the absence of ‘little people’. Fantastic for lunch I have been to Chelsea for lunch a number of times and find it fantastic value for money. They do a set lunch menu for around £12 for 2 courses and £16 for 3. The food is always perfectly cooked and the menu offers a good range of choices. The chicken liver parffait to start is to die for and i like the fact that they offer a steak upgrade to a fillet for a £4 supplement. The only problem with this restaurant is that it is not the most comfortable. Tables are very close together and you often have to ask people to move to let you out of your seat.I have visited once at night and didn’t feel that it was worth the extra money for dinner and so stick to lunch. 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! Annual review A great menu, made it difficult to choose at first; unfortunately, for a few of us, they didn’t have everything available, which was disappointing. There were 20 people which was a challenge, but the service could have been a little better; some waited ages even for a soft drink.The quality of the food was very good and no one complained about that.I would visit again, but would make sure that a large group is not going. second visit and fab again me and my wife have been here twice now , and i must say that the food is world class , we chose the 3 course meal each time which is varied , and this place cannot fail you ….it is a little pricey , but the saying is you only get what you pay for ?we be going back soon .keep up the good work guys …….. 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. Lunchtime visit Excellent meal, steak was well cooked as was the pork. The starters we very well presented and very tasty , service is relaxed and friendly , comprehensive wine list. I can’t fault the food in any way We will return Dinner The 28 day steak (medium rare) ranks with the best (and I am over 65). My wife had monkfish which was also spot on. Perfect end to a busy day. Highly recommended. Excellent Been to this restaurant in for occasions and always had an excellent food and service is amazing each time. We think this is the best restaurant in Wales we can’t wait to go there again. Well recommended! Outstanding Great atmosphere..amazing food..and friendly but professional service all adds up to an outstanding afternoon! Wonderful Lunch This cozy restaurant left a big impression! Ambiance was warm and welcoming, the food was delicious especially the vegetarian option, which my dad thought it was the best he had tasted! The service we received was second to none our waitress knew the dishes and was able to talk us through any questions we had, we were all very impressed.I highly recommend to everyone! We will definitely be back and booking the 7 course taster menu which looked delicious!Thank you for a great afternoon! Birthday treat with the wife Picked up a voucher from zoo land , and phoned and booked table for Wednesday evening .Turned up and the place was quite busy seemed that a lot of dinners had the zoo land vouchers.The restaurant is small & homely ; staff where friendly and most helpful .A three course meal for 2 cost £38 which was great value The wife & I had the Chicken liver pâté (see picture of menu for full description ) , followed by the beef (£4 supplement ) . Both courses where excellently , backed up by clean plates . I will admit to leaving a few chips to ensure I’d left room for the desert .Wife had the creme brûlée which was quickly dispatched . I had the triple chocolate tart , was ok but slightly disappointing , was served a tad cold which made it had to break through the white chocolate topping , but soon warmed up a and the rich chocolate was soon dispatched. Well worth a revisit , next time think we will give the full menu a go , quite liked the look of the 6 course special in the black board Good food ; great service , at a reasonable price what more can I say ! Ps I’ve made a conscious decision not to photograph the food when I visit a restaurant. I enjoy looking around seeing what’s on people plates much more interesting than looking at an on line badly taken still life . if you want to see what it looks like go and try it 👍 Dinner in Swansea It was a friday nite. We didn’t book a table but we still had place. Lucky for us, because the resto was quite full afterwards. The resto was small and cosy. The location wasn’t good with noisy bars and clubs on the opposit side of the resto.The menu was small with a fine selection of starters and main dishes. We took the swansea smoked salmon and the courgette soup as starter. The salmon was well prepared and matches quite well with the crab and the sweet fruit. The soup was ok, nothing special here. As main dish we got the gower lamb, which was also well prepared and seasoned well. Overall we were quite satisfied with our meal. Swansea March 2024 What amazing food and service at a great price plus a wine list that caters for every taste. Monday night in Swansea as well! Definitely will visit again I wish I had been nicer to the overworked young waiter. We were in Swansea for a rather emotional event; the dispersal of ashes of two relatives in the sea at Mumbles, a pair where the couple had owned a house and been happy. It was the husband’s birthday and also mine, although I chose not to mention this. We took our hostess, who was the late gentleman’s relative, to Hanson at the Chelsea to thank her for her hospitality. A very nice young man was the only waiter. He did apologise later for the wait, but he was all on his own and very busy. He obviously wanted to do his best. I decided that I wanted a cold glass of Fino or Manzanilla. I had forgotten that sherry is no longer a fashionable drink; perhaps it’s true that no Briton under the age of fifty drinks it. I got a glass of sweet sherry; the glass was warm to the touch. I had asked for an ice cold glass of very dry sherry. However, my drink was quickly replaced. The white house wine was very palatable. My husband had a gin and tonic (no Bombay Sapphire on offer) and a Chenin Pinot Grigio. We had starters. Our hostess had the goat’s cheese tart, I had the chicken liver terrine and my husband chose the crab mousse. All were excellent. We chose the Dover Sole and our friend had fish and chips. The food was worth the slightly long wait; not an excessive time, though. As we are all upwards of seventy we did not have room for a pudding, but envied other diners what they were sampling. My husand and I had an espresso and an Americano with a little cold milk but our hostess declined coffee. Again, we had a lovely lunch. We had not booked but we were lucky this time, perhaps people are saving for Christmas ! There are several options to choose from on all three courses so you should find something for every pallet. Value for money, two course £12.95 or three course £16.95. The menu does change but I can recommend for starter the goats cheese, it just melts in your mouth, for main course then it’s the fresh salmon or the beef pie and as for dessert, which you should just have, then the choice is ……..bread and butter pudding. It’s a small restaurant which can get a little cramped and unfortunately tables are a little close together, also the front door opens directly into the room which then gets a little chilly. The waitress again was very pleasant and we did not feel rushed. Great food, great service, great Resturant! Have visited the Chelsea on numerous occasions and must say on every visit the food just gets better and better! We visited on our first outing with our newborn baby and the waitress could not have done anymore to accommodate our needs. The lunchtime specials are great value with an excellent selection ! Top class venue for lunch Delicious first class lunch in cosy environment. Menu choices were excellent , the meals were very impressive and the presentation equally so . Staff were lovely extremely polite and professional . All in all a fab lunch time treat. Would Definitely recommend as a upmarket establishment serving high quality delicious local food . So quaint and food phenomenal We have visited this restaurant several times. for both lunch and evening meals. It’s a restaurant on a side street so a cute hideaway. The staff were so friendly and the food, though expensive, was amazing and definitely worth the money. I would definitely go here again, and would recommend it to anyone. It’s close to Wind St too, so if you fancy a few drinks after, it’s only a short walk, however being on a side-street means that it’s not disturbed by noise from the bustle of Wind St. Lovely evening! Delicious high quality food. Highly reccomend 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Delicious, high quality food with a great variety to choose from. Food arrived in a good amount of time, a perfect portion size and beautiful presentation. The food tasted incredible and each flavour complemented the others. The waitress was polite and helpful and even accommodated extra requests for my cousin. Would definitely return and am interested in the tasting menu in the evening! Thank you. One of the best places to eat in Swansea. Chelsea cafe is one of our favourite placed to eat in Swansea. The lunchtime menu cannot be beaten for value. The food is a high standard and is always seasonal. Even though it is a little more expensive in the evenin it is still worth the cost. Staff have always been accomadating. The only downside to Chelsea cafe is the size of the place, but it has a small intimate feel. Hidden Gem Thank God I read Trip advisor when I visit new places as we would have not known about this restaurant and it was my favourite meal of the holiday, I had the chicken liver parfait for starter, lamb for the main and the chocolate dessert it was really lovely and clearly a popular little restaurant as it was fully booked Excellent Food, great service Friendly service and fantastic food. II couldn’t choose between two starters so had both. The Buffalo Mozzarella was very creamy and the scallops were stunning. I was on a birthday meal so treated myself to the excellent Cotes De Boeuf which was cooked to perfection. Lunchtime meal Called in on the off chance of a table for 2.Luckily one was available. The staff were very friendly as were the other diners. We both had the slow roast belly pork which was delicious. the starters were excellent as well. Really full after 2 courses so couldn’t manage a dessert.Really good value for money with quality produce. A very pleasant experience.Will definitely call again. Belle of At At Mary’s A simple unfussy environment. An excellent balance of precision and imagination. Reasonable table d’hote prices. A really high class restaurant. We’ll be back. The best food you can find in Swansea Small and unassuming restaurant, which serves good food, clearly using considered ingredients. Dishes are the best you will find in Swansea. However, the service and sense of welcome lacks in comparison to others in the area and the dishes served deserved to have better trained service staff. I would probably make more effort in dining more frequently here otherwise. Interesting and Pleasant Venue First visit, and we went with a taster menu voucher. Service was excellent, and food was gorgeous. The taster menu had been put together thoughtfully, and we enjoyed every course. A tiny little restaurant that you could easily walk past. My one comment would be that the loos could do with a bit of a freshen up. Room for improvement. As expected the food was very nice and good selection of wines but professionalism and efficiency of staff could be improved. Our first course arrived before our wine and they took a long time to bring the bill after being asked. A surprise Our daughter booked this restaurant for a special occasion for the 3 of us. She chose it as the website said it catered for vegans – she is one; we are not! It did not disappoint. There was a busy lunchtime service when we visited, but we were well looked after and the food was very good. We were happy with our fish / meat courses; she was happy with the vegan fare.If I have one tiny grumble – it was that I felt cold. Was there heating on? Was it to do with fact we were sat by the window? But I was told I was being ultra fussy, as OH and daughter did not feel at all cold.This place is a surprise, tucked away as it is, at least to me, who “knew” Swansea many moons ago, but not this restaurant. We will return. 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. Amazing food with great staff. Amazing food with great staff. An all round success. The venue is so subdued and relaxed whilst the food is a triumph and exciting. Fantastic We came to Swansea to see family and decided to have a nice meal on our own on the Friday nightIt was not quite what we were expecting as we thought there would be more focus on fish but that was soon forgottenThe food and wine we ordered was fantastic, my pork belly was to die for and the service was second to none. The staff were very friendly and attentive and it was a pleasure to spend our Friday evening hereGreat value and we will definitely be back An Unforgettable Experience. Wow, where do I start… The 3 of us were treated like royalty from the moment we walked through the door. The young front of house staff were truly magnificent throughout the evening. The food we had was absolutely amazing, for starters I had the Venison Ragu, my son had the Crab and my partner had the Salmon, for mains I had the Lamb and my partner and son had the Beef. We all even had Deserts as we didn’t want to leave the restaurant. The whole experience will stay with us for a very long time and the next time we are visiting my son in Swansea we shall definitely be booking a table. 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! Steve was a STAR!!!! We ate here last night…four of us, and it was Fabulous!!! Steve looked after us VERY well and was most informative about the menu choices. I had the “Set Evening Menu” priced at £19.50. To start with I had a Chicken Liver Parfait which was delicious, everything on the plate was fresh and the bread to accompany was Home-Made. I followed this with Local Gower Pork in a Cream and Mushroom Sauce…that too was beautifully cooked and served along with a selection of fresh vegetables. For dessert I chose Baileys Irish Cream Crème Brulee. One of my friends had Tempura Battered Monk Fish and another had Gower Lamb cooked 3 different ways….again all were really beautifully cooked and presented. Next time I am in Swansea I shall be returning. As I said “Steve” who served us was extremely personable and likeable!!! Great food just a shame it was empty Visited on a Wednesday night after looking for an independent restaurant in swansea City centre Phoned earlier in the day and when we got there a little disappointed to find that we were only ones booked for dinner – there were four of us so we felt comfortable but had it just been my partner and I, I might have felt differently We didn’t want a starter but as three of us ordered gower lamb we were informed that we would have a little wait as the lamb was cooked from scratch – this wasn’t a problem.What was a lovely surprise and brilliant touch was the complimentary ‘amuse bouche’ we were sent out , espresso cups of delicious carrot and coriander soupMain courses were all delicious, hot and of great quality Three of us had dessert and none of us were disappointed The waitress was lovely although was lacking in confidence and wasn’t totally knowledgable about all aspects of the menuWe had three bottles of wine and our bill came to just over £150 which we felt was reasonable Such a shame it wasn’t busier, perhaps a sign of the times that lots of the chain restaurants round the corner were very busy ! Can’t Fault this place 2nd visit for lunch in a few weeks. Food is great, the choice is also just right although I tend to go with what I like all the time. Plenty of Thatchers Gold kept us all going whilst the women enjoyed Prosecco as normal. Can’t fault Mollie who looked after us again. Can recommend the Terrine also the Salmon and Haddock. Going to have the Scallops next time as they looked fantastic and I did have a try. Fantastic Meal & Service We ate here on Monday night after managing to get a last minute booking. It’s small restaurant with a great atmosphere. The menu looked great and we couldn’t decide what to order so went for the tasting menu and were not disappointed. Would certainly return if in Swansea again. 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. Brilliant little gem… Visited for the first time lunchtime yesterday, compliments of a TravelZoo voucher. What a find! Small but atmospheric restaurant hidden away behind Wind Street. Excellent taster menu and great service from Rachel, we will definitely visit again. FABULOUS This is probably the Best Restaurant in Swansea. The food is faultless, the service superb and the wine divine. Nothing else to say………….Be back soon. Little Gem I ruddy love this restaurant, the staff are great the food even better, decor is amazing to vintage but not dated.I’d eat here every night if I could but I can’t so I go all out when I do 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. Great food Whether you like meat or fish this place has an excellent cooking standard… It has a quiet intimate setting without too many tables giving a cosy atmosphere. The service is personal and not over bearing, the waiting staff are very lovely and set a lovely tone. I am a fish eater and the scallops were outstanding nit a lot of places get the right, and my parter a big meat eater was delighted with the racj of lamb stating it was second to none. beautiful Food is amazing! Beautiful starters and every better main. Made a TripAdvisor account just to comment. Well worth it and staff are so lovely! 👍🍾 Let us know what we were able to do for you.
