Two of our party had bruschetta for starters and absolutely loved it . Main courses of salmon , beef and lamb were consumed with much enthusiasm and were rated very highly indeed. Bread and butter sticky toffee pudding was out of this world. Coffees were accompanied by oohs and arrs so I can only assume that they were superb. All in all an excellent restaurant with great staff and an extremely capable chef. Ten out of ten Thanks to everyone who contributed to make the visit an excellent one Sue,Margaret, Bob and Dave

Excellent restaurant. Dined there with 7 golfing friends, and all thought their food was delicious…read more I started with the mince meat covered with cheese, a house speciality which sounds much more filling than it really is; followed by pheasant and new potatoes (tender, full of flavor) and finished with treacle toffee pudding (not bad but I've had better - too much chocolate flavor for me). Others had fish cakes, pork tenderloin, lamb, and a variety of starters and desserts; but really everyone was complimentary of their food. Service was also above par. Friendly, attentive and smiling, even while putting up with our banter. Highly recommended restaurant.

The menu isn't huge so choice isn't really varied but what they do make is excellent!

Service can be slow when it's very busy but you're never forgotten and the atmosphere is nice and waiters friendly so it doesn't ruin the experience. I swear the girl who served us last time was underage though - she looked about 9 (must have been related to the owner!) which was disturbing!

********** If I could issue 10 stars, I would - gladly…read more Which leads me to ponder how on Earth did they manage to lose their Michelin Star rating a few years back? Possibly the BEST restaurant I've ever had the privilege of dining in (including all the highly rated spots I've eaten at over the globe). To be here, I felt as though it was more as an honored guest, than as a simple customer - if I had a posh friend who invited me for dinner, whose (equally posh) parents lived in the Welsh countryside in a historic farm house and knew how to cook and entertain EXTREMELY well, this is it. And yet, for such an incredibly well-designed operation, is surprisingly and overtly unpretentious. STAFF - Everyone, including Chef Hugh was surprisingly humble, informative and an extreme pleasure to chat with. AMBIANCE Traditional farmhouse exterior with extensive lands; contemporary interior, an aesthetic one might find in a higher end flat in central London - all with captivating artwork and well-placed area lightning to match. Within minutes of arrival, you're invited into the parlor (poshly adorned but tasteful living/waiting area) for whatever libation your heart desires. Including the most amazing hors 'oeuvres your tongue has ever had the brief opportunity of supporting. After the roughly 20-30 minute downtime/relaxation period, you're invited into an immense, but cooly intimate dining area. View through French doors reveal the fountain, gardens, lands and 300+ year old tree lined driveway. In addition to this, on warmer nights, one can imbibe cocktails under the roof covered patio which surrounds the main house. FOOD Everything is sourced locally, has its own herb farm, and though I don't know for sure, many if not most of the vegetables are likely grown within 50 yards of the kitchen (I snuck a peak at their immense greenhouse and gardens). The continued nouvelle Welsh strategy and cultural insights make perfect sense; prepared with the upmost intellect and sensorial creativity; albeit not pushy, arrogant nor taking away from the soul and core of its Welsh roots. Honestly, if you want to be treated like a diplomat at a head of state dinner party, this is the only place I've been to that possesses such an overwhelming intimate and professionally executed dining experience. I really can't say enough good things about Plas Bodegroes. It really makes me want to delete a star off all the 5 stars places I've rated to date. I found it that memorable.

My travel companion and I had dinner at Dylan's on a recent trip and loved it so much we returned…read morethe following evening! Dylan's is in a beautiful location directly on the water, and the atmosphere is elegant but relaxed. There's lots of inexpensive public parking at the nearby beach, so there's no need to worry about finding a place to park. The first night, I ordered the crispy sea bass tacos, and the quality of the sea bass was sensational. The next night, I had the herb and parmesan crusted hake fillet, which if anything was even more delicious. The hake was possibly the best fish I've ever eaten, and the creamy mustard leeks were spectacular. After a lot of heavy pub food while traveling in Wales, the light and refined food at Dylan's was a welcome change. The only thing that I didn't like quite as much was the dessert: I ordered the cinnamon churros, and while they were by no means bad, they just didn't wow me the way the rest of the meal had. Our servers both evening were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I also appreciated that Dylan's is open until 11:00 p.m., as many of the restaurants we ate at in Wales closed considerably earlier. If you're in Criccieth, I'd certainly recommend Dylan's!
