The Dining Room — Restaurant in Wales

An excellent little restaurant in Abersoch, booking is essential as there are only eight or so tables, and the dining experience is catered to last from opening to closing, it is not a place to just drop in to. The service was first class, and the food was faultless (sorry, no photos, my bad), but trust me, it was a brilliant meal. The menu is varied, with plenty of choice of starters, mains, and puddings. The price is (on 12th June 2025) £47 per person (not including side orders and drinks). My starter was wood pigeon, followed by feathered beef, which was cooked to perfection, followed by an interesting pudding of rhubarb and custard ice lolly, yes really! The wine list was varied and catered to all wallets. This place is highly recommended and one we will definitely visit again when we return to the area in the future. NB - parking is limited to whether there are any spaces in front of the restaurant, but if staying in Abersoch, it is easily within walking distance of anywhere...

To everyone else … a very intimate restaurant with limited tables and modern British food, so can see why The Dining Room is popular, friendly service, good wine list though would have appreciated more variety of wines by the glass but understand why in a place with 20 covers may...

Last night in abersoch we though lets go to a nice restaurant good reviews etc etc. Unfortunately we just left and all three of us felt totally disappointed . Food choice mediocre, level of cooking mediocre (a medium stake shouldn't run blood all over the plate) the pate was tasteless and mushy . What was the icing on the cake three pound extra for the steak and wait if u wanted few carrots another three pound and yes u guest it another three pound for some beans and kale.....really I can't understand how you could give a decent review to this place..honestly I really can't understand how people can say it's nice unless they had a different menu ...oh my wife add fish cake was soggy and not crispy at all like was...
