Dylan's Criccieth Reviews Summary

Location & Views

Pros:

• "This restaurant is in a fantastic location beside the sea looking onto Criccieth Castle."
• "The amazing view on the ocean from the fantastic massive windows that run along all the restaurant seats, feel like you sit in front of the sea!"
• "Great location and interesting Art Deco building."
• "Right by the sea. We ate outside. It was so lovely."

• "Great location with views of Criccieth Castle."
• "Really spectacular setting. We were lucky to be sitting by the window so could see across the bay and to the castle."

Cons:

• "Only disabled parking in their car park allowed. Pay and display on sea front near by."
• "The only thing that is bit disappointing would be the disabled & staff only parking slot. You may have to park outside and pay for it if you want to eat here."
• "We found it frustrating that there wasn't a customer car park or any kind of provision for parking."
• "A lovely setting right on the beach front and public parking just on the side of the restaurant."
• "The only point it's that the restaurant didn't have a car park so you need to park like 1 minute walk from the restaurant in front of the sea."

Cons:

• "Food was tasty, but portions are minuscule!"
• "Felt it was over priced and only just above average food and left the restaurant a feeling little peckish."
• "The portion size however is less than acceptable."
• "The fried calamari tasted a bit stale so was disappointed."

• "Waiter a bit too attentive, no chance to relax after eating the mains."
• "Visit started off poorly, 'greeter' didn't even look up from his computer screen when we arrived."
• "When I arrived, I was told to wait by the receptionist but when he came back he served someone else who cut the queue in front of us."
• "The service didn’t improve at all and some of the waiting staff would keep their eyes down, go to one table then scuttle back without even checking if anyone else needed anything, absolute flounder."
• "The waitress avoided us and when had to get up and ask another staff member."
