Great to find Gower Gold on tap but served with no head. Suspect it is too cold. Hand dryers in toilets too close to doors and very noisey especially when people leave the doors open. A bit off-putting when you are eating. These are minor issues that we are sure can be easily rectified. We have recommended the restaurant to our friends and we will certainly be back again soon. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Staff were attentive, friendly and accommodating. Nice idea of hot rocks to cook your own steak. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Excellent food and wonderful service. Cockles and scallops were absolutely fantastic and although pricey was certainly worth it! Staff were extremely attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Only small complaint was that it is a little chilly so worth wearing something warm. However, I didn’t mention this to the staff and I’m sure they would have helped if I had done so!

Lovely meal with attentive staff - will definitely be back ! A small point ..if the bright restaurant lighting is dimmed then that would be great, more atmospheric & it will be possible to see the lovely views of the bay

Fabulous venue , best seat in Mumbles ! Lovely food , would like a side included in price of main meal , my fish was perfectly cooked , spinach side delicious. Bonus was alcohol free alternatives not your usual poor choice I have found in most places , try the Sentia it’s a game changer !! Lovely staff , im looking forward to the summer here it’ll be a great place to eat or just have a drink !

Thoroughly enjoyed. Fish was well cooked and sauce delicious. Staff were well trained and attentive. Minor feedback:- I am celiac and was given a wheat containing biscuit with my coffee. Luckily it was wrapped but please don't do. There was no choice of dessert for me. And finally the toilets need a screen between them and people eating. A small boy was sitting on the toilet and talking about his progress to his parents who were sitting nearby. Not something I wanted to see. Despite these minor issues we found the occasion memorable and will recommend your restaurant to our friends. Best wishes for your new business.

A brand new venue local to me, in an outstanding location. The menu was very good, with decent size portions and a fair price considering its positioning in such a stunning spot. My only gripe was the menu was to limited and I’m sure as this is a new place, they will evolve & tweak things to do with the menu. Simple beach style decor which fits in perfectly with its surroundings….with the floor to ceiling windows and wrap around terrace, sitting just a few feet above the sea….decor didn’t need to be overwhelming….all pitched perfectly! All staff smiley & helpful. We went as they just opened the doors, so first in, and therefore, no ambiance as such. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy a sundowner drink on that terrace come the warmer, lighter evenings

Beautiful evening and venue, if I was to be super picky the only thing I disliked was, food being served when we hadn’t even been given fresh cutlery so had to wait for someone to bring them while our food had already been served.

Lovely location with superb views. Good food & drinks menu. Visit was hampered unfortunately as DIY work being done to one of the main restaurant windows, so bit noisy and cold ( blankets offered) We were not advised before hand that works would be carried out during our visit! So presume it must have been an emergency that had to be done whilst customers were booked in. Nevertheless, we made the most of it & hope to return in the sunshine.

Food was from excellent sources and tasted great. The service was friendly, efficient and timely. The location was fun with a good view over the sea, but dark to walk to after sun down. The room was modern and cosy but could get a bit loud.

Excellent setting, staff helpful and friendly, food portion sizes just too small, focaccia could be bigger, fish dishes just did not fill you up, fries portion again too small, would certainly return, flavours of food was excellent, would try the steak next time though

Arrived at restaurant & table not ready , which was fine , asked if we would wait , which was fine shown to a table , on way passing the service area I felt my foot go from under me and I went flying ending up on my right side , which shook me up , there was something on floor as felt like slipping on ice . Staff were lovely and we asked for it to be put in accident book , they said someone would ring me , no one has . I have been very sore , was told they going to put a mat there now , I’m lucky nothing was broken .

We really enjoyed our meal. I will definitely return. I loved the option to finish cooking the steak on the hot stone. I would of liked the option when booking to request the upper level near to the windows, our table was right by the kitchen so very busy where we were sat.

Really enjoyed our meal, we had a couple of items for the table and then 3 steaks. Service was great and also really loved the decor. Enjoyed the novelty of cooking on the hot plate but questioned if the concept is one I’d want to repeat on more than a couple of occasions. Would you be changing the menus towards summer as I think the venue would really suit more fish, platters with seafood/charcuterie/cheese?? Especially lunchtime as could imaging sitting in such a lovely setting with great sharing boards but not hot plates and meat. Just a thought/suggestion! I think what you’ve achieved is wonderful and wish you lots of sucess!
