Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fabulous lunch!!! This is our absolutely favourite restaurant. The location is just amazing, the staff are helpful, knowledgeable and very, very nice, and the food is completely wonderful. My sister is gluten free and we are both vegetarian, yet we had such a choice of...delicious food, and my sister had the option to make certain dishes GF. Everyone went out of their way to help us. We were so lucky that the sun was out, and the roof on the lovely conservatory area was off, how amazing for the end of October! We live 2.5 hours away, but regularly make the journey to eat here, and explore more of wonderful Anglesey.More

A warm welcome greeted us by staff the restaurant was warm and beautifully lit our table was set ready for us. We had drinks and when ready ordered food from a great menu selection. The food was served and all of us commented saying it...was a lovely meal with lots flavour and plentiful, desserts to die for Cannot wait for next visit would recommend phoning first in order not to disappointMore

Lovely setting and was so looking forward with all the good reviews. May be we were just unlucky and arrived at a busy time but we were pointed to our table and sat for 15 minutes without a menu or a drink, whilst tables next...to us were served. I think the owner in a checked shirt didn't even notice and didn't seem bothered when we left. We would definitely not recommend their hospitality skills and would have liked to try their foodMore

I’m sure it’s been there some time but we’ve only just found it. Newly covered deck area works brilliantly. Nice people and food good and really pretty good value. Holyhead may not be top of my list of must visit towns 😉, but once sat...here, sun sparkling on the sea and yachts bobbing at their mooring, our rosé in hand, we could almost have been in Oz, NZ, West Indies, Manhattan Beach…classy without being up itself. Thank you.More

We came here around 5 pm before getting ferry to dublin. Clearly a busy place so a good idea to book. But the friendly host fitted us in. Good menu and food was nicely cooked. Service was efficient and friendly. Restaurant is nicely located as...part of the museum with a sea view.More

We came a across the Harbour Bistro, situated next to the Maritime Museum as we booked a family Paddle Board lesson with Newry Kayaking, Sub Ski Fit We sat on the sociable table, ultimately had it for the six of us, with a menu that...would satisfy everyone.

Great spot, right in the waters edge- next to the museum. My partner had fish and chips which was amazing. Sadly I went for the carbonara- which was tasteless. However, the rest of the food looked good and the girls were really friendly. I’d advise...booking as it’s small and busyMore
