  “Me and my wife and two dogs had a lovely experience here while visiting Anglesey. They are very accommodating with dogs, even giving them a treat!Note though, that it's dog friendly up until 6pm, which is understandable. The setting was clean and calming, with all sorts of interesting oceanic and exploration memorabilia on the walls and in the rafters. The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes for all three courses and the seafood is top notch. All nice and hot when served. All the staff we encountered were great, but Christelle (sorry if we got the spelling wrong) and Taylah served us and were so lovely and attentive. They also have bluelight discount, which is always a bonus! If we're ever back in Anglesey, we'll be sure to enjoy a meal here again. Superb, really.”

  “Came in with my family for a sit down meal and everything was exceptional. Food was high quality and extremely tasty, my brother noted it was the best burger he’d had in a long time and my auntie said she could’ve eaten the seafood linguini 10 times over. Service was really good although I didn’t get her name (she had an Anglesey outline tattoo on her arm) but she was lovely. Would highly recommend this restaurant!”

  “Absolutely brilliant restaurant and bar with wonderful nautical theming and decorations. We visited twice in a 3 day stay and the food was excellent both times with quick and friendly service. Booking is strongly advised, especially at peak times of the year. There is a bar and at peak times a seperate outside bar to the side of the venue. An ice cream counter to the front of the restaurant has a huge variety of ice creams to take away in cones or tubs. Parking is in the large public car park next to the Cafe.”

  “I popped into this place last minute because the hotel I was staying in nearby was not serving food in the evenings. I was recommended to attend this place which certainly didn’t disappoint me a very busy place lovely friendly staff good selection of menu and the food was outstanding or locally sourced and not badly priced. Parking was easy nearby and will certainly return again. Keep up the woodwork all of you.”

  “We only had an ice cream from the lovely ice cream shop, but the overall cafe next to a fantastic beach look like they are well worth a visit - the ice cream was amazing!”

  “We purchased some ice creams. They were absolutely out of this world. And a bonus I was able to get my dairy free intolerce infant one. It was a very busy day and the que was out of the door. We were served by a young girl her attitude was upsetting to say the least. Purchased 3 ice cream cones and 1 tub. The tub was slammed down on the counter. Then when I went to pay she slammed the till draw that hard I thought it was going to shoot through the wall. I said thank you and bye as thats what you do and was just ignored. Theres one thing I cant abide by is bad customer service. We have traveled 2 hours away from our home to visit your beautiful town, it is expected in the high season and the summer holidays that you will be extremely busy, so i would say that if you dont like it then you are in the wrong job. I would also image that the business is kept afloat by the footfall of tourists. I may add that we did stop by for a cheeky little beer at the back l, where the young girl was very friendly.”

  “Very nice place. Service was very good, all the servers got smile in there faces. Great fresh food. Lamb shank was very soft, falling of the bone with ease. Sea food linguini was perfectly Cooked. My little brother loved the milkshake. And after long time found some lovely crispy whitebates.”

  “Stumbled across this place whilst reliving my childhood holiday spot. Adult and kids main meals were fantastic and the icecream and cookies were on another level! The place was busy, but the staff were quick to attend and we didn't have to wait around for the meals to turn up. The place had a really nice atmosphere and if we're ever back that way, we'll definitely stop by again.”

  “I've been three times, the first and second were exactly as I'd expect, very friendly and efficient service. The first time we were served by a very friendly Ukrainian lady and in a mix up we forgot to tip her so we went back the following week in the hope to be served by her again. One young lad behind the bar had a really good understanding of the history of the place and was very enthusiastic when asked questions. We spent a fair bit of time looking around the place at all the beach collections and the lovely boats on the ceiling. I do think this is a really lovely place to eat. Fish and Chips were beautiful, the Mushroom Bourguignon was rich and delicious. I thought yey, I'll bring my next crew along the following week. My colleagues had some very beautiful looking food, I ordered the 'Shanty Burger' ....The signature burger... When it came out it was rather underwhelming.... just some fries and a burger and a plastic cup with mayo in it.... I could've sworn I'd seen the classic tin bucket of fries and a double patty stack with the wooden skewer through the middle and some side salad... either way, this was not that 😂. On the fourth mouthful, all of which were met with a nasty crunch of gristle and bone I was unfortunately put right off eating. I spoke to a very helpful waitress who took my plate away and spoke to the manager. Apart from the gristle burger I had no complaints..... Then the manager came to our table, asked me if there was a problem with the burger... I explained 1) There was a lot of gristle and bone in the burger, but also 2) The presentation was certainly not what I expected for a £22 burger... I explained it really did look like the kids meal and it wasn't freshly ground beef patties. I believe I was polite and considerate in the way I explained the issue but she responded with "Well it's hard to dress up a burger isn't it".... That comment really got me because I don't think she even realised that there had been a mix up and I actually HAD in fact been served the kids burger.... I know this because my colleagues actually had the Shanty Burger the following week to check and it was completely different and beautiful. I would still return.... but to be honest, I would definitely think twice about ordering the kids burger meal because that bone and gristle nearly broke my teeth. It's actually dangerous to have sharp objects in food for adults, let alone children. Please do reconsider this dish for kids.... check the quality of the patties and please have a word with the manager about how to communicate with customers. One bad experience resolved by removing the dish from my bill, and I would return purely on the basis that all the other staff were lovely and the other mains and deserts I'd had were very good quality and beautifully cooked. Get shot of that kids burger, young people need quality grub!”
