"This restaurant in Barmouth is a hidden gem. We had a fantastic meal and enjoyed a relaxing evening with a delicious bottle of wine. The menu had great options, even for someone like me who avoids certain foods. My husband enjoyed the plaice, while I loved the chicken schnitzel with creamy leek crumble on the side. The bounty dessert is a must-try for coconut lovers, especially with a splash of coconut Bacardi rum poured over the top. We love visiting Barmouth out of season and can't wait to return. Thank you."

"It's such a shame to be writing the negative but honest review. My partner and I went here a few months ago and were blown away by the food, the view, the atmospheric and the service. All of which were excellent. We own a caravan nearby and we rarely get the opportunity to use it. So this evening we managed to get away for just one night, we decided to book this fantastic restaurant for 6:45pm and were looking forward to our dining experience and the remainder of the evening together. Upon arriving we were seated almost immediately and served with a drink. We then ordered starters and mains and were greated a short time later by fabulous food. It was at this point that things went down hill. After our arrival, two large parties and one party of four arrived. All of which were served with their starters and mains while we sat there waiting at a table that hadn't been cleared, we hadn't had drinks replenished and we hadn't received our mains. 8:20 pm arrived and still we hadn't received our food, nor had we been asked if we'd like more drinks. It seems that this restaurant prioritises the larger parties that are spending more money, rather than treating ALL paying customers equally. We left the restaurant having never received our meals and having spent what should have been a romantic break both hungry and being ignored. So disappointed with this treatment and disappointed that our rare opportunity for a get-away was ruined. Excellent food bht seriously lacking in attentiveness. Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3"

"Myself and my friend were visiting the area for a short golfing holiday. We set out to try and find a restaurant or pub that served something a little better than pub grub and pizza. Our first two evenings were spent at nearby pubs, they were fine but the menu choice was limited and it was ok pub grub at both. We settled on the Norbar having driven passed it and like the location and general look of the place. The online menu looked good so we booked in for a Wednesday night, the only night they were open during our stay. Firstly the location is beautiful, high on a hill overlooking the countryside and the sea. We were greeted by some lovely staff and when it was pointed out that I was deaf and would struggle to hear, the waitress put herself out to communicate and find a suitable table away from noise such as music speakers, which is unusual and very much appreciated. The menu isn’t massive but a good selection of meals which would appeal to most people. We had fish starters and mains followed by a dessert and I have to say we were very pleased with everything we ate. All the food was tasty and well presented. The restaurant was almost full on a Wednesday evening which, must be testimony to its quality amongst a desert of quality restaurants in the area. If I ever go back to this area this restaurant will be on my must visit list for eating."

"Nice little place next to the harbour. Food was acceptable if not overpriced for what it was. My food was the Cod giujons on a bap with fries. The bun was a little dry as the two giujons did not fill the bap, and there was only one lettuce leaf with no garnish, etc. Edible, but for the price, I would expect a little more. Fries were good and lots of them. Two adult meals and a child's meal came to over £36 without drinks, so it seems expensive. I would add that I overheard some of the younger staff swearing to each other but within earshot of my 4 Yr old granddaughter so not overly impressed although they were friendly and attentive with the customers. A mixed review. Would I go again? Maybe, if the price was lower and the staff kept their conversation professional within earshot of customers."

"It's no wonder why this quaint location is so popular, we were so lucky to squeeze in with only a 5 minute wait. The food was beautifully cooked (I had the steak and Stilton sub) the king prawn and avocado sub was equally as impressive. The view (if you're lucky enough to get a window seat) is just lovely. Light music in the background, the staff are so friendly and cannot do enough for you. The head of house worked his butt off whilst we were there to ensure everyone was as happy as they could be. Even people with an hour wait were satisfied with a drinks table whilst they waited. Highly recommend this venue, maybe book in advance as people turned away appeared more than disappointed."
