Food Quality
Pros:
"Delicious cakes, reasonable prices."
"Amazing Food. Probably the best Fillet Steak that myself or my Fiance have tasted."
"Fish pie and the moules are exceptional, the most fantastic treat after a day of trekking the coastal path round the area."
"Fabulous selection of home made cakes & puds on offer."
"The starters are amazing and the ice cream is top notch."
"The food is delicious with specials board offering locally caught fish dishes."
"The servings are big. The seafood is fresh and the pasta is sumptuous!"
Cons:
"Quite rude when you have a complaint. Will not be going back that is for sure."
"Very poor, food under cooked."
"Chips not cooked, chicken dry."
"Sadly the food wasn't anything special."
"The prawn and crab linguine was also tasteless and only had 1 prawn in it."
"Food is a rip off for the quality. Veggie ‘Thai’ curry was pieces of very watery (obviously microwaved) squash in a tomato sauce."
"The food was really not good; the duck, mixed with cooked onions and peppers came out in a little bowl which had clearly just been blasted in the microwave."
Service

"Waiting Staff were very friendly, very efficient and you can't ask for more than that."

"Smiley staff happy to pass the time of day, efficient service, fresh produce & an impressive range of cakes & desserts."
"Very good service, staff very pleasant."
"Staff very friendly and attentive."
Cons:
"Unfortunately our table received really poor service."
"lovely location overlooking the bay and apparently great food however we wouldn't know what it tasted like as my gf and myself decided to leave after waiting for more than 30 minutes to asked what we wanted or even acknowledged despite speaking with one of the table staff as well as the manager who was possibly the rudest person I have encountered in any restaurant."
"We had to ask to have our order to be taken four times!"
"Service is very slow here, but the food was okay both times we came here, I wanted to wait for our second visit before leaving a review… such a shame the service isn’t great … so be warned, if you're happy to wait around to be served…"
"The service was terrible with staff ignoring customers and tables waiting to be served for nearly 20 minutes."
"We had to wait 1hour to be served as they lost our order."
"Waited ten minutes at the ice cream kiosk and no show of any staff."
Atmosphere & Location
Pros:
"Absolutely amazing interior and location."
"The boathouse is somewhere that it doesn't matter what time of year, night, day, summer or winter, it is fantastic whenever you visit."
"Feels relaxed and friendly inside so perfect for a nice relaxed meal."
"The views out of the front of The Boat House are very impressive too, with great opportunities to see the sunsets."
"What a lovely place. Perfect location right next to the bay."
"Lovely ambiance. Patio outside is really nice in the sunshine. Inside also tastefully decorated."
"A charming restaurant overlooking Red Wharf Bay with breathtaking views across the bay and of course Snowdonia."
Cons:
"A beautiful location and average food but completely spoilt by the horrendously rude attitude and lack of attention of staff."
"I was duped into visiting here because of the promise of views over a beautiful bay. There is a bay, and there are views, but not from anywhere in the restaurant."
"To not cater for people with a dairy intolerance is not really caring for your customers in my mind."
"As there were so many of us we were put in a back room on our own, which was OK but we felt a bit 'out of it'."
"Not very happy, won't go again. We had a table booked for 6 of us and 3 dogs. Another dog barked at one of ours and of course one of ours replied. My daughter was then told in no uncertain manor to keep our dogs under control if we wanted to stay."
"The fish pie was,2 chewy prawns- again obviously microwaved to the max. And a few tiny cubes of fish."
"We were then directed to find our own table outside ‘if there was one’."

"Highly recommended as value for money in terms of the overall experience."
"A nice place to visit and the price was what you should expect to pay for the experience we had."
"Although a bit on the expensive side, everyone enjoyed their meal (2 adults, 3 children). Big portions, gorgeous homemade chips."
Cons:
"Quite expensive, average food."
"The setting is nice but you will pay a premium price for incredibly average food."
"for the price of the overall meal and the quality I expected, wasn't value for money."
"Just stopped for a coffee. Very nice coffee but you pay for it."
