Service

• "Service very prompt & staff helpful."
• "The service was first class and food was excellent. I will be going again soon."

Cons:

• "Ordered food at 7.10pm starter and main meal for 2. Waited and waited until 8pm when we queried where was our starter - waiter had not processed the order - no apology."
• "It was like an olive oil soup. My friend had some risotto and the olive oil used was quite liberal in his meal also."
• "When we asked for the bill the waiter asked 'will you be paying cash' which I thought was rude enough to begin with but then said 'card is fine but leave the tip cash' Which lets be frank is rude and presumptuous."
• "Unfortunately we wouldn’t go again. The waiter we found totally over powering. He was trying to give his recommendations but this however we found annoying."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "Lovely, family kind of atmosphere, watching kids gulp down spaghetti like they'd just tasted it for the first time."
• "Very pretty setting, you can have tables on the grass outside, seats inside and out."
• "Beautiful building, and lovely staff. Will definitely be back at some point."
• "A must visit if you are in Carmarthen."
• "Great place - quality of food was top notch and service was just as you want - mingling with the noisy tables, keeping a watchful eye on the quiet ones without interrupting."

Cons:

• "Went on a Friday night so as expected was super busy, it is quite small inside so felt quite crowded and extremely loud."
• "Packed to the rafters with people, tight squeeze even to move your chair and impossible to have a conversation."
• "Sadly this place isn't as good as usual. They try to cram as many people in as possible. I was hit multiple times by people passing including staff."
• "Food was lovely, but they do not do a child's menu. When asked about children's meals we were assured that the portions would be halved and the price would be less than half the adult's. However, the child's portion arrived as an adult size."
