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.

Epic food

The food here is top notch . The innovation in the sauces is amazing - Cockle and bacon sauce , and a wonderful caramelised orange sauce … all topping the whitest freshest fish. Coupled with a roaring fire and a view of the clouds skudding...across the sea - you could stay here all day !More

Best meal in a long time!

First visit here . We both had fish, I had cod and hubby had John Dory. For starters , I had king prawns and hubby had fish soup. We eat out quite a lot and both said it was the best meal we’ve had in...a long time . If you like seafood , you’ll be in for a treat . It isn’t the cheapest , but you get what you pay for , which is good food ,cooked by a talented chef and knowledgeable staff who can tell you about the dishesMore

What an amazing restaurant

The food was amazing, the service was outstanding. The waiter went through and explained in detail what was on the fish specials that’s led to us all enjoying simply beautiful food. The mussells were out of this world, best I’ve ever had-that sauce was incredible!...Would go back on a heartbeat!More

Not value for money

Recommended by relations to visit. Unfortunately it was a typically very wet Welsh day. High expectations were not met. Lunch for two with a glass of wine each plus tip was £140…. pretty steep for a pub in Dale, Pembs. Service was good, location OK,...food OK price a stretch too far.More

10/10 all round!

Couldn’t fault a thing at the Griffin. The food, staff & atmosphere was 10/10. Sian and the rest of the team were so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu - we’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful Seafood, and most expert cooking.

Absolutely wonderful food, most delicious and thoughtful dishes, with a divine mix of flavours. The Gurnard was probably our most favourite fish desh ever! And my Sea Bass Cerviche was perfect. Simon is an outstanding chef, and Sian is a wonderful host, describing all the...dishes with great enthusiasm. And beautiful views of the harbour from our table. Lunch at The Griffin today was the highlight of our holiday in Pembrokeshire.More

Fish in Dale

This is a great restaurant with some wonderful fish dishes. My Japanese style plaice was outstanding. The location is right by the sea, with some lovely views. It’s definitely worth a detour to experience this small, independent restaurant with an excellent, self-taught chef. They have...a varied menu but my choice would be with the fish, as that it what makes it special.More

We visited The Griffin whilst staying in Broadhaven - it’s only 15 mins drive away and well worth it! The food was superb! We had the moule starter, cod loin, halibut and plaice - all of us had wonderful meals! The service by Sian was...excellent too! You must visit, you won’t regret it!!More

Yes, a gentleman in wheelchair dined at the Griffin when we were there. I would suggest booking to ensure access to the table is unhindered, however the staff are really helpful.
