Excellent food - it's so difficult to find fresh fish these days, but the hake was superb. As was the cod in batter. Excellent service too - nothing was too much trouble. The set lunch is great value too.

Don't really know where to start with this, if I could give a 0 star review I would. Management was terrible myself and my family where not served for an hour and a half after we arrived, when the waitress eventually arrived we still had not been given a menu for drinks or food then we waited again for another 10 minutes for that to arrive. We ordered our food then we where told there was no stock for our orders then they gave us still hard/frozen chips. All in all an absolute shambles run by very poor management.

Awful manager who failed abysmally to deal with the accidental spilling of a whole pint of beer over my partner by a waitress. He was soaked through. Appreciate accidents happen but its how they are handled that matters. Other customers were also appauled and commenting on the very poor service. Some customer service skills training in order.

First time going there. Stunning restaurant/facility. Food was absolutely amazing. There was a large party of us, and the only wrinkle in the evening was the fact that the lemonade in the pump run out, so instead of lemonades we were getting soda water effectively. There was no way the staff could've known but for the best part of 30 minutes we kept sending drinks back and getting the same returned. As soon as they realised, they replaced all affected drinks though. It was a genuine mistake that they couldn't have helped. Would I go here again? Absolutely.

Our food was very average. They forgot one of our main meals, which once notified took half hour to come out of the kitchen. (didn't charge us for this) but we were all long finished our meal by then. Parts of drink orders were also forgotten. The music was as loud as a disco, so we struggled to hold a conversation. The manager was very pleasant as were some staff. But we definitely won't be back. Sorry

Hadn’t booked but called in earlier today. Food was fine. Plenty of choice on the lunch menu, £18.95 for 2 courses which included a small glass of wine. Price is comparable with other restaurants we’ve lunched at. I had Caprese to start and it was excellent followed by the steak and ale pie. I’d read some poor reviews of the pie but mine was really good, tender beef in a tasty gravy with a nice pastry. My wife enjoyed both her courses of pan fried sea bass and a desert of New York Cheesecake. There’s a choice of house wine sold by the Carafe, we had the Rioja and couldn’t fault it. Staff were friendly and there’s some comfortable seating downstairs for a post meal drink. Will definitely return.

We came in for food after the eisteddfod. People next to me had to share tables with complete strangers. The food tasted great and the staff was lovely despite working non-stop but service was slow and the manager kept shouting across the restaurant at the waitresses. First time I’ve visited and would like to go back when less busy. The staff looked like they were under considerable pressure from the manager and severely understaffed.

Downstairs in the bar is great for a few drinks and snacks. Try the minute steak sliders! Definitely worth a go! Upstairs is a step up (excuse the pun) it's a lovely Bistro/Restaurant with a great selection of fresh fish and meats. The decor is lovely, pretty classy for Ponty! Wine list looked decent but only if you're buying by the bottle. The house reds (by the glass) are nothing to write home about. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Absolutely will not visit again. First used the disabled access lift for me and my baby/pram, got out at the top to find a whole dumping ground of boxes, high chairs, napkins, anything that could be dumped in the way was there, I had to move things in order to create a path to get through, which isn’t ideal for anyone who is a solo wheelchair user, health and safety was out the window. The conservatory was boiling with no blinds and air con that didn’t work, when we asked if we could open a window we just got a rude ‘no’. I ended up having to strip my baby off into her vest because it was so sweaty and warm and stood out on the fire escape for air as did other guests in the room. I ordered a fillet steak cooked rare, when it arrived it was medium to well-done, tough to cut through so I asked for a new one as I did ask for it rare. Staff were abrupt and full of attitude to tell me I’d have to wait however long it takes, which wasn’t an issue I said that was fine. Only to have the rudest manager come tell me it was rare and that ‘if you wanted it cooked very rare you should have asked for blue, I’ll make you another but I’ll charge you’ with that I took it back as I was already stressed dealing with a small baby who was warm and tired by this point. But in reality the steak was cooked right through. We were a large party and another family member ordered medium, to which his was ‘very rare’, along with other members also having incorrect cooked steaks and issues with their meals. My father also bought a round of drinks in which he was shortchanged, when he asked for the rest of his change he had it handed back to him with attitude. I went to get a high chair for my baby and they were stacked and filthy, not one of them had been cleaned, covered in sauce and chips or sticky. I ended up using Milton wipes to clean the whole thing myself before I allowed her to sit in it. Overall not a nice experience, rude staff and management. Wouldn’t be going there again.

Used to really enjoy this place but our recent visit was awful. Got placed on a table in a room next to a giant gang of screaming an shouting people. Waitress staff couldn't fit between my chair and another customers chair. Loads of empty tables in the conservatory. When asked could we move as we couldn't even talk to each other. Young waitress said no they are booked. After ordering drinks they then allowed us to move to a better table. Service here then was very slow. The food wasn't as good as it normally is in particular the duck 2 ways was tasteless and dry. After our mains the waitress team didn't wait on us without being called. The cocktails arrived warm. We had a long wait between mains an dessert due to no staff to take our plates away or give us menus. The converstory remained quite quiet so the tables defiantly wasnt all booked out like we was first told. We had to ask 3 times for the bill while one waitress thought it was better to put forks an glasses on tables at 10pm than to get the bill for us to leave. My heavily pregnant friend was tired an wanted to get home. The worst part of the evening was the big gang of 20 maybe more people who was shouting and cheering. 40 minutes of speeches clapping it was like being in a whether spoons not a nice resturant. I appreciate big bookings will happen but not once was they told to be respectful to other diners it totally killed the night for us when we couldn't speak to each other.

Very poor . Fishcakes a lot smaller . Very little beef in pie , pastry not cooked enough ( doughy ) , steak very fatty and not cooked to order did complain but waiter said it was medium rare it certainly wasn’t , very fatty and was £2 extra . Chicken fillet in katsu curry ,! more like chip shop curry . Service very slow no one asked if meals were ok , no sauces offered. And as a final insult tried adding deposit instead of deducting it .. Won’t be visiting for a very long time . Total waste of money

Visited yesterday as a large party of 18. The service was very slow which can be expected on a busy evening for large parties. The food wasn’t great with 4 of the party having to send their steaks back. My husband had a fish dish which was very expensive for what was delivered. I had pasta which was fine. When mains were served a lot of the sides were missing for quite a length of time, leaving the meat to go cold. There was only two choices of non-alcoholic beverages and they only had one bottle of 1 left as they had sold out of everything else. Desserts were delicious which was a highlight. The service was good overall but worked out as a very expensive meal for average food.

Went for a meal for my partners birthday. Both had garlic King prawns to start which was nice. For main I had a fillet steak with mushroom sauce. I asked for a medium steak and when it arrived it was blue and cold in the middle, sent it back and when it came back it was still very rare and couldn't eat it. When waitress brought the food to the table after it being returned ahe threw the plate on the table and wslkef off. We also had to chase our drinks as we ordered them when we ordered all our meals bit didn't come out until the mains were out. Both had creme brule for dessert which also not that tasty. We would not return to this restaurant

Had Easter Sunday dinner. Very busy...excellent service ... very enjoyable day. Why 4 stars...I’m fussy, lovely meal spoiled by adding some sort of herbs that had a perfume smell and taste, believed to be the carrots but not sure, either way something is/was added that took away from an excellent meal. There was extra gravy and extra sticky toffee sauce supplied without delay on request ... so I would recommend, maybe trying each dish of vegetables prior to placing on the plate ... if like me you do not like herbs.

We were booked in at 2pm today (mothers day) were asked to sit downstairs until table was ready and given a beeper that would tell us when our table was ready. At 2-25pm my daughter went up to ask what was going on, she was told our table was getting sorted, she went up at 2-45 to check again and another upset family were sat because tgey refused to go downsrairs, so we all went up by the host stand and at 2-55pm were sat at a table that was getting laid as we were sitting.I had to go and ask at host stand at 3-15pm if anyone was going to come take our order ( we were really hungry at this point)my husband went downstairs to get drinks as no one was available to ask to get them. When we got asked for menu choices eventually we asked for water for the table which came quite quickly but with no glasses to drink from, i had to go to host stand a while later to ask for glasses. Food was mostly nice but my husbands starter of calamari was soft in texture so not enjoyable. I had to go to host stand again to ask if someone would come take our dessert order. Very disappointed as yet again we as a family have been very disappointed with an occasion being spoilt, xmas was the first. Did speak to manager and had a reduction of 2 drinks off bill and had a feasible explanation to the delay of being seated. My suggestion would be to have 2 waiting staff split into sections that get drinks /orders and deliver them as there seemed to be a lot of different staff everywhere and not organised very well.

Table booked for 17.30, drinks ordered as we were seated, also requested water for the table, Waited 15/20 minutes and our meal order was taken, had to ask where our drink order was, food delivered and was delicious. When it came to paying the bill it appeared that every drink that we had ordered, we had in fact be charged twice, therefore adding an additional £100 plus to the bill, when we challenged this we were asked if the order had been taken via a tablet, it was in fact taken in writing. Staff are inexperienced and we witnessed many dropped and smashed glasses

Sadly the Saturday visit didn’t no live up to my expectations. It was very noisy. There was a disco downstairs and you could hardly hear yourself think. The service was extremely poor. We never got to order dessert as they never came and took the order. We had to keep asking for the bill. There was plenty of staff however they didn’t seem to stick to one section they were all over the place there was just no organisation at all very poor management of the staff. The food was good it was the noise, service and one very drunk person let the place down. 😩

Today was the last time for us. Disappointed by front of house management there was no welcome, no smile and not very accommodating. There was no engagement in conversation. Rude to honest and not the first time. Food was good and one waiter working his socks off was helpful and trying his best. There were other people there felt the same. Not a great experience.

I have been a regular here for 20 years and have had many lunches and dinners with friends and family. Today I was having lunch with two friends. Never have I experienced such abysmal service from a relatively new front of house woman called Libby. She’s been there since April, so some 10 months. We’d had mild words before when, as a party of 8 for lunch soon after she first started, we asked if the Katsu chicken could be served on its own rather than on a bed of chips. Back came the answer immediately, “No, that’s how it comes.” There was no suggestion that she might ask the chef to plate it separately. But we let it go. In hindsight that was a mistake. Today, however, her attitude was quite shocking, peremptory, authoritarian and totally inappropriate. At 2.15, while we were still eating she came to tell us we had to vacate our table as it was booked for someone else at 2.30. We asked why we’d not been advised of this when booking. Her answer, “It’s always been the rule. Your table is for 2 hours. It’s on the website,” Bearing in mind I was there the previous day with 2 other friends, eat there at least once a week, and was booked for Sunday lunch, I objected. This has never, ever been an issue. Again, no apology, no attempt to provide an alternative solution. I I have now cancelled my booking for Sunday lunch and for dinner next Friday. I will not be returning. Jan Gethin

Food was lovely, plenty of options and cooked well. Service was rubbish, was shown to our table and handed menus, we weren’t asked if we had been before so we were unsure if we were to order at the bar or if a server would come to the table. After 10 minutes of waiting I had to go and find a server to ask. Ordered our drinks which hadn’t actually been sent through to the bar. Our starters then came out before our drinks arrived at the table. Main course - brought the wrong cut of steak, ordered a sirloin and got brought fillet, it was a lovely cut of meat but not what was ordered. Servers were too concerned with dancing to the very loud music than taking care of the guests. Music from downstairs was very loud so was very difficult to have a conversation with the person sat next to you. Again though, can’t fault the food, it was very good. A real shame about the service!

Just had a lovely meal The food was amazing, unfortunately the service awful. I was made to feel very embarrassed for asking if they had a takeaway box. Our waitress made it clear she didn't want to be anywhere near our table. At the end of our evening she disappeared but was then gesturing with other staff members at our table making me and my table feel awful. I do not recommend eating here due to the poor service.

Bad day at Alfred's today. Whilst I waited for a friend, I ordered a Hot Chocolate which took 10 minutes to make . My friend arrived, ordered a glass of lager and got a pint. We ordered 2 portions of dirty fries. .One portion came to the table, the waiter argued I only ordered 1 meal which was incorrect. The second meal came after more than 20 minutes. The worst part, the place wasn't busy. Won't be back.

Excellent evening but the steak was overdone (asked for medium well and it was well done and chewy at best).Excellent service but expensive food relative to other good restaurants.

Booked for a Sunday lunch , sadly the food was not as we hoped , every meal came out separately over a long period of time , portions were very small and looked like frozen vege. Vegetarian option of quorn sausages ( Linda McCartney) the only good thing is that the staff are lovely . We ate here a few months ago and the food was lovely, not sure what's happened since , such a shame .

Excellent food and attentive service. We will be back - especially as the bar area is dog friendly
