Cooking our steak on a hot plate was a new experience and we really enjoyed.
This is our 3rd visit to this charming, stylish eatery on the seafront. Everything is amazing. There’s not a bad table in this place and all of the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food quality is outstanding and beautifully presented.
We will be back when we next visit The Mumbles
The menu reads beautifully on paper — it’s well written and sounds exciting. Unfortunately, the execution didn’t quite live up to that promise.
The monkfish was extremely dry — to the point my wife left half of it. Monkfish should be firm but moist; this was overcooked and lacked any real succulence. My starter also felt underwhelming and didn’t really deliver on flavour.
The wine list looks impressive, but in reality the quality didn’t match the presentation. There’s potential there, but the actual selections weren’t as good as the menu suggests.
Service was friendly throughout, but noticeably slow — especially considering the restaurant wasn’t at full capacity.
Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing stood out either. It felt like a place with a lot of potential that just needs tighter attention to detail, better execution in the kitchen, and a bit more pace in service.
We really do hope they take this on board and refine things, because the foundations are there — it just needs sharpening up.
We had the focaccia to start with which I highly recommend and then for mains we had a steak & the sea bass. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so tasty. I was really impressed with the selection of soft drinks too, I opted for a strawberry and lime drink which they make in house and it was so refreshing. Will definitely be coming back!
The whole place had a lively, welcoming feel, making it perfect for a relaxed meal or a night out. We left very impressed and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
The food was absolutely delicious, and the wine was just perfect. For dessert, we went with the cheese board, which was of excellent quality and a great way to end the meal.
All in all, this place is a real gem, and I’d definitely love to come back sometime.
We had a lovely dinner with my parents-in-law here, on Sunday. I personally like that there isn’t a lot to choose from on the menu, because I’m terrible at making food decisions (want it all).
We had a mix of starters: belly pork, goats cheese balls (A MUST) and scallops. Everyone loved their starters, my favourite were the cheese balls! They had a lovely jam on the side.
My husband and I went for a steak main, which was really nice and came with a hot stone – but I’d probably see if the chef could cook it next time, just to save my own mess! Other than that it was really good, with beef dripping sauce and garlic butter.
The cheesy mash with goats cheese is also a must have. We also had dessert: brownie, cheesecake and banana bread. All delicious! I also had a couple of lemon cocktails, they were stunning.
I really love this place, and will definitely come back for more lovely food! Plenty of parking outside and a really beautiful spot. The staff were attentive and made sure we enjoyed.
