Cliff Restaurant, St Brides Hotel in Pembrokeshire

Excellent food & drinks , they cater for V , VE . Gluten free . But service is very slow and forgetful . The wine selection great and they cater for kids as well

Unbeatable views from terrace and food with flair! I really loved my visit to the Cliff Restaurant. The views are absolutely oustanding and I must say I found the staff were lovely and trying their best to provide a good customer service in an industry that seems to have not quite recovered from Covid and in the midst of a cost of living crisis. Yes the food isnt cheap but I wouldnt expect it to be for that location. I enjoyed my chicken dish with the hash brown accompanied by some delicious truffle fries, the chicken was perfectly cooked and good quality and the meal was presented beautifully. Nice selection of desserts too. Just for comparison, we had recently paid £12 in a local pub for one piece of dried and burnt garlic bread and a small bowl of frozen chips thrown on our table by a disinterested youth. There is a gorgeous terrace with the same spectacular views where you can have drinks and lighter snacks if you dont want a full meal. This is definitely a destination location and I cant wait to return.

The worst it has ever been! As a family we come every year to Saundersfoot for a holiday and eat at St brides as our treat. We were so disappointed this year with the food and the service. No greeting or friendly welcome. The drinks took over 45 minutes to arrive and we still didn't receive them all. We then waited even longer for our starters and nearly gave up hoping our mains would come. We decided not to even bother ordering desert after the our food being cold on arrival and not even worth eating. No one enjoyed their food, in fact most of the table left half their plate. The service was pretty much non existant, the food wasn't worth waiting for. After coming here every year, this will definitely be the last time we ever visit this restaurant again. So overpriced and very average. The menu is boring and tired. We weren't the only table waiting hours on end, the table of two next to us waited an hour just for evening tea. Save your money, time and effort and go somewhere else!

Overpriced! Totally disappointed! Having voiced my concerns with the restaurant directly prior to our visit having read the other reviews. They assured me the food and service was amazing. It really isn't I should have known it wasn't going to be good when the manager approached us as we entered with his name badge upside down. Good start but hey not a big deal. First course was cold, flavour of the scallops was non existent. Pigs cheap was tough and cold. The serving staff ignore us to the point I had to actually get up and go to the desk to get the glass of wine I'd ordered with my main course. By the time it arrived I'd almost finished. It was my wife's 40th birthday, we'd arranged a surprise platter following our main course. This was forgotten about. If you like wasting your money go here

We had a beautiful Sunday lunch yesterday. Gorgeous starter, mains and desserts. We were lucky enough to get what is in my opinion one of the best tables over looking the most magical and ever changing view, which added to the great time we had. People say it’s expensive here, but I feel it’s worth every penny for such a memorable experience. The staff are so attentive, kind and caring. Ethan did a great job looking after us. I love this place and always feel relaxation wash over me as I walk in. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

My friend and I visited for an afternoon tea . My friend is disabled in a wheelchair and paralysed form the waist down . But she can transfer form wheelchair to chair . Whilst everything was lovely the waitress who wasn’t young I’d say in her 40’s perhaps 50’s at one point asked to move her wheelchair so that it wasn’t in the way . My friend and myself thought this very rude as the wheelchair are her legs. Not good in terms of disabled awareness - priority was made for another elderly couple who could have sat at another table . Disappointing. Plus afternoon tea was overpriced .

Very disappointing Very tried menu not changed in years Over price for what came on the plate Lunch menu needs a serious review You can’t just rely on the view to attack your customers Our mother said the furneral tea was much better

We have over the years dined here quite often, as we have a place just opposite the hotel, but last week was the first time since covid. We were a party of 4, and had 4 starters, 4 mains, 3 deserts, 2 bottles of white wine, (the wine menu is extremely highly priced) and 2 or 3 glasses of red wine. The bill was close to £400, which is a LOT higher than the last time, plus a pre dinner round in the bar cost £50! Well OK, I know prices have gone up, but although the food was good, I didn’t consider it extra special enough to warrant the price. The staff and service were fine, and of course the view is spectacular…but I don’t think we’ll be going back anytime soon!

me and my cousin was on a date with 2 ladies and spent half a grand and the service after food was terrible as we were all drunk and needed a taxi home, the staff declined our offer for a taxi and they said it wasn’t their problem

Took advantage of the Sunday night special offer. Staff are brilliant and attentive to all your needs. Lovely setting overlooking Saundersfoot. Dinner was amazing, some of the best food we’ve eaten in a hotel setting. Spa experience was great - infinity pool, again, with amazing views. Room immaculate.

This place took some finding. But finally found it with plenty of time to spare. Had pre dinner drinks at reception before going through for dinner. It was VERY busy,so real glad I’d booked well in advance. The food was A La carte and first class it was too. Everyone’s meals were superb,although the sauce with those who had the chicken said they didn’t like. That was the only thing. Starter to dessert was excellent. If your on holiday and have deep pockets but want a real fancy night out,go here.

Went for breakfast. Superb situation with panoramic views of the bay. Excellent breakfast buffet and full English breakfast. Service was attentive and unobtrusive and staff efficient and pleasant. Would highly recommend.

Another fantastic meal for my wife’s birthday this week! Food Excellent and staff were really attentive and courteous. There are fantastic views from bars and dining rooms looking over village and further afield Cannot recommend this enough!

Sunday lunch was exceptional, polite and helpful staff, in a super setting overlooking the harbour and beach .this hotel has been transformed since I last came here,its modern yet friendly with a beautiful decor.

Had a great vegan afternoon tea. Views were amazing and the service was excellent. The booking process was really smooth and there were no hitches with dietary requirements, everything was as ordered which is remarkable. Only improvement would be for more interesting sandwich fillings e.g instead of just cucumber adding some ‘cheese’, instead of just ‘cheese’ adding some chutney and perhaps adding some hummus in with the beetroot. Overall a great experience!

I brought two friends here who came to visit me in Pembrokeshire. When we arrived, it wasn't clear where our table was as we weren't shown to it, so we pulled two tables set for two people together right in the window of the restaurant. I did notice though that the member of staff on duty had a "training" badge on, she was absolutely charming and got us settled in & took our tea preferences while we enjoyed the stunning views. The tea arrived shortly afterwards, in very utilitarian stainless steel teapots, all the china was also very practical as well. not really the delicate, elegant china usually associated with an afternoon tea. The tea for three was on one tea stand. The sandwiches on the bottom tier of the stand were great, tasty & fresh. There were two scones each, one plain & one fruit. While tasty & warm, if slightly biscuity around the outside, they were quite small, all six scones & jam & cream were on the smaller middle tier of the tea stand. On the top smallest tier, were all the cakes - four each, an eccles cake, chocolate brownie, a white chocolate profiterole a lemon tart. While they were all delicious, there were tiny, I found the whole experience underwhelming. There wasn't one thing that sprang out as being awful, but all the little things add up, it didn't make for a memorable experience. There are other establishments in the area that offer better value or a more sophisticated experience for the same price. I don't think I'd come again for afternoon tea.

We have visited this establishment for several years and have been made to feel at home and relaxed every time. We appreciate that you pay extra for such a fabulous 5 star hotel, but definitely not on this occasion. We decided to go there for lunch on a Saturday a few weeks ago and were looking forward to the visit as we had not been there since 2019.We were surprised that the place was so quiet, not many people eating lunch or afternoon tea. (This was a sunny Saturday in July).We were escorted to our table in the restaurant and served promptly. We were astonished by the prices for lunch. I ordered a Ceaser salad and my partner had a beefburger and we ordered two soft drinks.Following our mediocre meals we asked if we could take our drinks in to the lounge and said that we would settle our bill at the bar as we might have a coffee. This is what we have always done in the past during our many visits. Was informed by the waitress that we could pay by the table but she did not return with the bill or payment machine. We decided to take our drinks to the lounge where the seating is far more comfortable and we thought that we would order a coffee. We sat in the lounge area finishing our drinks and chatting for about a quarter of an hour and the,what we presumed to be, the restaurant manager presented us with our bill at the table! No one asked us if we wanted another drink or coffee. Did the waiting staff believe that we would 'do a runner '.We decided not to make a fuss or complain, settled our bill (which was nearly £60 and included a 10% service charge) and left feeling extremely underwhelmed.Needless to say we will not be returning,which is such a shame.Too expensive and certainly not value for money.

Never have I seen a desert on a lunch menu for £11, a burger for £22, a beer for almost £7! If the food was great, then absolutely no problem paying that but it was very average pub food. Talk about trying to make the money back from covid, come on Mr Evans, it's a liberty! Only positive... great view.

Many people will talk about the view at St Brides - but this was backed up by an exquisite experience - the food was very special - beautiful ingredients cooked to perfection with fabulous depth of flavour - every course was superb - Sunday lunch...

Went here for the dinner menu..food was fantastic and the service we were given by the staff here was exceptional,polite and friendly and nothing was to much trouble .The gallery restaurant area had great views across the bay. The lounge area had a cosy and...

Went for a lunch. Beautiful view, beautiful food, superb stuff. We will definitely be back. Have vegan menu

Nice friendly staff, lovely location and good foo. They also had good cocktails including non-alcoholic. Reasonable parking but a steep walk up the hill if you are walking from Saundersfoot. Reserve in advance as gets busy.

Incredible food and top notch service. We were visiting for dinner with my dear friend who is very poorly and will not recover. They simply could not do enough for us. They were attentive and so kind. We couldn’t stay for dessert so the Chef...

What a difference to the last time I dined here! It was always good food, but now it's outstanding and truly deserved of a great review. The service has improved 100% with waiting staff worthy of handling a top London eatery. Well done all round...

Had lunch in The Gallery area which was exceptional with attentive, efficient and very pleasant staff working as a team. Really enjoyed another repeat visit, the food and the fantastic view.

We visited the restaurant twice during our stay at St Brides Hotel. We were generally unimpressed with the hotel but the restaurant is definitely it’s best asset. The view from the restaurant is lovely, particularly in the daytime. The food is of a very good...

A surprise starter followed by Halibut and chicken mains with loads of veg and sticky toffee pudding to finish. Always a winner.

Absolutely stunning views from almost everywhere you sit in this restaurant. We were given table right by window overlooking Saundersfoot bay. And was very impressed. Food was spot on along with service. Breakfast was excellent too! Both my partner and I enjoyed the experience.

Now this is what I'm taking about! Pure class! Everything was beautiful! Wonderful staff, food and the spa treatment was nothing short of perfect. Well done to all the lovely staff! Keep up the great work. We are very much looking forward to returning.

Visited with a friend for drinks, upon arrival the building looks very impressive, well lit and in a great location. Walked past two desks containing three members of staff on the way to the bar, none of whom spoke or even made eye contact. Found...

I first came on a Sunday afternoon, mid winter, between sunday lunch service and the evening service. I usually quite like it here, they have a lovely new bar/sitting area over looking the village. I'm a bit of a stickler for detail and having ordered...

A group of us wanted to treat a friend to a coffee morning for her birthday. One of our group rang up and asked if a table could be reserved and a selection of cakes (similar to the afternoon tea, but without sandwiches) could be...

Always busy and always welcoming. Most of the serving staff are good, but always feel like there’s room for improvement (for some who need more training and more information regarding the dishes and the wine list). The food is pretty good and always well presented....

Staying at the hotel so decided to eat at the restaurant. Great service and food. Alot of deconstructed desserts

We enjoyed really good dinner here. Locally sourced ingredients, excellent presentation and exceptional service.

Great place with great views looking over the sea .great food and service.staff really friendly and helpful.would recommend and will go back.

We visited the restaurant last night. I had scallops, my partner had the onion bhaji. Both cooked to perfection and full of flavour. For mains I had the sirloin and my partner the sea bass. Again cooked to perfection and the service was spot on.No room for desert but food was accompanied with a bottle of rioja.Lovely evening and stunning setting

Spent a long time trying to decide where to have Sunday Lunch while on holiday in Wales. We selected this place and did not regret it. The Sunday (beef) roast we fantastic and the service excellent. I can honestly say it's the best roast beef I have ever tasted.

Good food. Staff good. Special place to go if you have a table with a view. Just need to up their game a little as it is not cheap.

Very attentive staff, perhaps a little too attentive. They seem to be back and fore the table often. Seemed a little rushed too. No sooner we put our cutlery down, they were whisked away. On the up side, the food was good and the views lovely.

We ate grilled oysters Scallops Salmon Sea Bass and a Chateau Briand. The oysters and the Chateau Briand were excellent. This was completely over shadowed by this establishments inability to make decent chips! The Sea bass portion was small and the scallops portion size fitted on one scallop shell. This is a really fabulous restaurant spoilt by the basics!

Five star food and views, good wine cellar and good ambience spoiled by really poor service. Very good steak cuts cooked perfectly, great SA Pinotage, delicious puddings. We got away lightly with several other tables repeatedly being served the wrong food and drink.There was a distinct lack of leadership with mostly inexperienced waiting staff fending for themselves front of house and clearly feeling the pressure. Sad to see and not representative of the prices and ratings. Could so easily have been a 5* review.Rare for us not to tip but truly undeserving.

Having treated ourselves to a morning in the spa, we booked lunch to follow in the Cliff Restaurant. A window table gave us a glorious view over Saundersfoot to Amroth and beyond. Our food was tasty and well-presented and the service was excellent. A good day all round!!

Had a fantastic experience last night. Staff were friendly and attentive, special window seat saved for us as our anniversary. Views are indeed spectacular. Seats cleverly arranged so we could both see the view! Made to feel special. Attentive service with plenty of staff .Lovely fresh bread to start. Had a nice bottle of wine for about £19 - there was a big choice and range of prices. Starter came quickly and very tasty. A longer wait (spent enjoying the wine and view) for main course -delicious Dover sole with a big bowl of local new potatoes. Husband had chicken also delicious - Sweet delicious sticky ginger pudding. Had a nice surprise as a friend had arranged for us to have a drink on her at the end - this was timed to perfection and staff were pleased to spoil us for her.

My friends and I visited this afternoon for a spa day and afternoon tea. The spa was lovely however the service in the restaurant was extremely slow. We were seated but no one came to order our drinks we had to go and approach the bar. It then took ages to have our order taken. My friends had afternoon tea and I had chicken and chips along with one other friend. We were given no cutlery and were not offered and condiments. After waiting and waiting and asking a waitress for cutlery we still were not given any so then I had to ask a gentleman who got it straight away however by that time my food was cold. My friend who had afternoon tea wasn’t given her tea until she was half way through the food and further drinks we ordered took ages to come. When informing a member of staff she told me I should have told them sooner with a half hearted apology. I definitely will not be visiting the restaurant again.

The atmosphere, views + comfort here were perfect. Staff very attentive and always on hand if you needed anything.

Booked this as a meal to celebrate our anniversary - good points were the fantastic view over the sea and the village. Food was nice but not extra special given the prices charged. We both had scallops as starters, my wife had salmon, I had fillet beef for mains. What saved it was the amazing sticky ginger pudding dessert. Had a good evening but didn't have the wow factor we were hoping for.

St Brides has always had good food but it is clear from this visit that the Cliff restaurant has taken it to a higher level altogether. Our two nights dining there were a real pleasure and the food excellent

Went here for a birthday celebration and it certainly has the wow factor, brilliant panoramic views out over the bay and a a modern spacious layout. Sadly most of the other and essential elements of dining out were a let down, this really could be one of the places to dine out in the area but the food has to match everything else the restaurant has going for it.

This was not our first visit however it will be our last. We put a previous poor meal down to a one off but our recent experience told us this was not so. We enjoyed the starter of Scallop rarebit, but the main course of Rib of beef for two was awful. We ordered it medium but it arrived very rare.

Having enjoyed a stay in hotel earlier this year (and leaving a glowing tripadvisor review) I then had cause to complain after a bad lunch experience. I complained direct to venue thinking it was a one off and not wanting to give a bad review here. Gave them a second chance today and nothing has improved. We were a party of 8, they insisted on an £10 a head deposit on booking (even for children). Said they could only do 12.30 or 3pm. Got there and restaurant was deserted, we were shown to a table and ignored for 20mins. We then asked to move to other part (gallery?) as there ware actual people there. We were allowed to move but no one assisted us. Finally gave food and drink order. Lunch menu is weird, staters all £9+ mains are mostly sandwiches or fish and chips, burger and a couple of other uninspiring overpriced options. I had halloumi to start, £9 for one slice on some mashed tasteless lentils. Fish soup starter was watery and insipid. For main I had mussels (a starter) and chips. Mussels were cold and they forgot the chips. The fish cake was burnt, the quinoa salad (£15) was tiny and my guest forced it down. We decided against dessert, asked for bill, deposit had not been removed!

We visited the restaurant on Tuesday, 30 April. We had an early reservation (i.e. 6.45pm). When I made the reservation, I requested a table by the window but was told that they could request it but not guarantee it. On arrival, we were shown to a table, not by the window, even though there were still a few tables left by the window but I got the impression that as we were not staying at the hotel, that request was not met. However, the food was very good, if a little expensive. Unfortunately the same could not be said about the service. The waiting staff were extremely slow and the restaurant was not overly busy that evening. We finally left over 3 1/4 hours later! If you are going to run a good restaurant, please make sure you have sufficient staff to cover.

Excellent Sunday lunch: roast beef with homemade Yorkshire pudding, creamy cauliflower cheese and selection of veggies. Could have done with a little jug of gravy though.

The location is excellent. The seaside view over the harbour is amazing. The food was great but Unfortunately the service quality was disappointing and that overshadowed our visit. Prices are top of the range but the service did not match.

We went to the restaurant for a lunch time meal .The restaurant was beautiful and the views fantastic.What we ordered was lovely but small portions, my nephew had fish pie which just came with a few green beans .Only three out of the six of us had desserts very over priced for the portion size it came on a large plate but would have fitted on my phone case.

Came back to see if things had improved in the restaurant. I feel very sad to say nothing has changed. It used to be such a pleasure to come here for a quick business lunch with a fabulous view, but the quality, size and price of the portions is depressing awful. Wake up Andrew, listen to these negative reviews, they are not being reported for spite. A lot of locals have stopped coming to the restaurant, certainly this was my last trip.....

We visited the cliff on a rare child free night for an evening meal.

Visited for dinner. Location is spectacular overlg the bay with sweeping views. Restaurant was welcoming and sophisticated with regard to decor and lighting. Food was flavoursome however menu was limited. Main issue was over-pricing for what was served. Fish soup was excellent - £8.50. Dover sole was satisfactory and halibut was very good indeed. Sticky toffee pudding was nice enough but portion was smaller than expected. One of us had three curses and the other had two courses and both had coffee and shared a bottle of wie - the bill came to £110 but thankfully we had a voucher! Service, although polite and courteous, was slightly rushed.

I again visited this restaurant in the vain hope that notice had been taken of previous reviews, but alas it wasn't to be. Asked for a table for four and informed the waiter that the second couple would be along shortly. After being shown to a lovely table we were abandoned by the staff!!!!

Lovely evening, welcoming staff and attentive service. Food pleasant but I felt overpriced for small portions. Wouldn’t stop me from going back but wouldn’t rush..... Shame as I really love the hotel, the service and it’s location.

Had not been to the restaurant for some time so was looking forward to showcasing the restaurant, especially the views, to my visiting relatives. The menu was limited but choices made but only to be told there was no lamb. The restaurant was relatively quiet and it was a Friday night so had presumed the whole menu would have been available. The food was ok but nothing compared with the likes of The Mulberry and certainly no atmosphere and it felt quite sterile. Nevertheless, we ordered dessert, albeit the chocolate fondant was not available, we then felt most unwelcome when the staff commenced placement settings for breakfast! We were the only table left and ended up sat amongst all the other tables with the jams and teapots. This was not conducive to finishing our meal with our cheese and biscuits and so we did not order further drinks and left. Such a shame.

Eleven pounds for a glass of Merlot. Seriously overcharging.

We stayed at st brides spa as a wedding gift, the spa is excellent staff are lovely and the rooms are lovely. The breakfast was also good. The restaurant is overpriced and the food is not up to a standard you would expect after what you pay. We complained about ours chips were undercooked (£4.50) burger was dry. Staff were lovely about the complaint and it was dealt with. Im writing this review just for people who stay at the spa to eat out as youll get a much better meal and at a cheaper cost. A coke, sprite & crisps at the cost £9.50 which is daylight robbery. If your looking for steak its around £30. Lovely place restaurant lets this place down. We have booked yo stay again but we wont be eating ar the restaurant.

As we entered we noticed the new 3 food hygiene rating. We almost turned around but it was late, family were staying nearby and options limited. From there everything was TERRIBLE, especially the food. The only reason I paid the bill is because family were present and I had to be on best behaviour!

We have eaten here many times over the last 10 years or so, but there was something very wrong on our last visit.

This is the third time I’ve been for afternoon tea here in a month. The first was good, the second was superb, the third poor.

We were given a token for a 3 course Sunday lunch as a gift for our recent golden wedding anniversary

We were taken by our family for a lunch to celebrate our Ruby Wedding in the same hotel where we had honeymooned so long ago.This turned out to be a very special treat for us all.

The food is pretty good - particularly the Bisque and the Lamb, but the restaurant is like eating in a Hilton Hotel. Devoid of atmosphere and the service very patchy.

Had breakfast here and was lovely. Food selection was good, service pleasant and view amazing. I had the salmon, partner the cooked breakfast as did my 3 year old. All tasty, no complaints. The jams on the table were a nice touch.

St Brides is a great place to go for lunch or dinner. The views towards Amroth, Pendine and across the Carmarthen Bay are second to none and the service and food is equally impressive. The staff are lovely, have been here many times and they have never failed to deliver excellent service.

We have a holiday home in the area and frequently call into the st brides hotel for lunch. However, the lounge menu that we used to thoroughly enjoy has been changed and the value for money is definitely not what it was. There are two examples that spring to mind I) the mussels always used to be served in a stainless steel bowl and lid, now they are just served in a china bowl with the previous “wow” factor lost and II) the sandwiches used to be served as a round and a half, now its just a round ( although the cost remains the same) - again the “ wow” factor has been lost. We used to enjoy calling in for lunch and used to leave feeling that we had been served something special. Since the new menu has been launched we have left feeling rather disappointed. We will probably call in for a just a drink in the future and give lunch a miss- and I just hope the new menu is not the start of a cost cutting initiative ! A final point- when we were served our pitiful sandwiches the group of 8 on the next table were vocally complaining about their sandwiches being reduced from a round and a half to just a round - incredibally i overheard the manager who was called to their table that “ it has been done to reduce food waste”, although if this is the true reason you would expect to see a price reduction, which is not what has happened!

Went for lunch here with my elderly mother and (not so elderly) sister and wife.

Visited for Sunday lunch for my mums birthday, food was excellent and the views were fantastic! Will definitely be returning, thank you.

we went here for an anniversary meal. Staff were very attentive , although there were a couple who were training , so they didn't get it completely right but not through lack of effort . The food was good , although I would have preferred the menu prices to include the vegetables and potatoes . The bought us a nice anniversary platter which was lovely petit fours . All in all a good experience

I live in the area. The meal I had (chicken with mash and broccoli) was below what I would expect for £19.00. The meal was mediocre not in the least special.. I had to get fish and chips on the way home as I was so hungry. Go to other restaurants in Saundersfoot, there are some really good value for money places to eat. The only good thing about this hotel is the view.

Beautiful setting and view, just a shame our meal experience didn't match. We'd booked for Easter Sunday but unfortunately for us, our waitress "Sarah" clearly didn't feel the joys of spring! We are a very mannerly, respectful and grateful family but Sarah made us feel we had to work harder to make her happy!

I had lunch here following a visit to the spa, no complaints. Price reflects the lovely setting and the food is also delicious. As I visited last year I will write a more in depth detail when I visit again, especially now the refurbishment is...

Visited to celebrate my mother's 80th, the view was a reminder of family holidays when we were children. At that time the hotel was not what it has now become (this was the '70's!!).

Brilliant set menu that included a vegetarian one for the wife. They even altered a sharing platter for me.

Wanting to arrange 25 yr Anniversary meal for my parents with a bespoke menu to include names of family members to personalise their meal experience. The staff at the Cliff restaurant (big thanks to Clare!) were so accommodating and the meal was a great success. Big thank you again for helping me make memories that will never be forgotten

The food was modern & well presented. It was extremely delicious & very satisfying. There was a variety of meals catering for all tastes. Certainly worth a visit just for the food alone!

had lunch here after using the spa and pool. Lovely table by the window overlooking the bay. Food excellent, very helpful staff.

Some reviewers have commented on cost but if you want Masterchef food then that is what you will get. Beautiful

The standard of afternoon Tea very poor,had to ask for cream ,the takeaway box was thrown on the table and we had to load the box ourselves ,the Tea was cold and no tongs for handling the sugar cubes ,not very hygienic

Definitely worth a visit here for lunch or dinner with a view. They have an extensive food and wine menu and the quality is excellent. The crab and the Steak are personal recommendations. We had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch and then dinner on Saturday with good service

The Cliff had been recommended by the Michelin Guide which convinced me that we had to try it - in stead of other, really good looking small restaurants in Saundersfoot. With very high expectations we walked up the steep hill to St. Brides Hotel, where the restaurant is based, and were stunned by the view - but disappointed by the interior. That is very standard, very international, rather boring and simple. No cosy atmosphere that can match the view.

We had lovely food.fish was very good and love the local produce. However the service was slow and we had to chase up our wine and the right vegetables which put a bit of a dampener on the evening

Nice hotel, good views, food tasty but for a price over a £100 plus its noware near worth it,Portions very poor,been once and once only.its a shame really its such a nice hotel but i still felt hungry when i came out

We dined here one evening for a change from seaside food. The menu was varied although some options were very pricey. The food was excellent, however, and the staff were extremely helpful in checking for potential allergens.

Wonderful views from restaurant across the beach. The staff were absolutely lovely, very helpful and efficient. So very pleased re the service, greeting and welcome we received on arrival, and the restaurant was very busy. So full marks on that side of things. There were negatives and positives with the meal. The negative was that my main course fish which was overlooked. The manageress was so kind and offered to have a new piece cooked, but sadly it was very much like the first time. She did not charge for that plate, but I would have rather had a perfectly cooked piece of fish and paid for it. Such a shame as it was purely down to the chef. She did everything she could to put it right. The positive was my starter of scallops and crab was delicious. Plus my husband enjoyed his lobster. So I'm not saying don't eat here I'm just saying on the night my main course wasn't good.

This was a family visit for an evening meal on Sunday. Booked a table with a view as not all of them have views over the bay. The restaurant is light, bright and airy.Excellent menu selection. Some members of our party had the duck starter and others the mackerel - delicious. For the main course some had the fillet beef, some the lamb - excellent. Dessert options for us included the poached pear and the sticky toffee pudding - again we all thoroughly enjoyed both the excellent taste and presentation of the meals. We also had the cheese and biscuits. They can cater for vegan, vegetarian, gluten and dairy free diets. One thing that we did find lacking was advice on the choice of wines ........ they have an extensive wine list and we needed advice from the sommelier. The prices were expensive but when you consider the whole package on offer - the quality of the food served, the excellent service and the amazing views we think it is worth it for a special treat.

Sad low attendance and poorly organised farewell led us to have our own little afternoon tea gathering at The St Brides Hotel......Wonderful relaxing seating areas with sea/beach/harbour views....pleasant staff and lovely scones etc

Love it here as a special treat. Lovely staff and a beautiful setting. Bar food lovely too. Will def return

A good restaurant with local produce, very effiecient and friendly staff. Not the cheapest but the view for a romantic dinner is worth it! Mid week is probably better for thr romantics as children at the weekend (depending on parents and behaviour) can be a little distracting

We ate here on the first night of a 3 night break at the hotel. We had pre-booked for 7pm and the restaurant wasn't busy. Their only seemed to be one waiter on duty and he apologised straight away for the wait to take our order, and repeatedly throughout the meal. However the food was good and the view from our window table was great so made for a relaxing evening

Great for an expensive lunch. Great food and wine with stunning views over the beaches and over the sea to The Mumbes

We ate here while staying in the hotel. The restaurant and views are wonderful but the menu is over complicated and the service slow and regimented. Some of the young wait staff seemed so terrified of making a mistake it led to an unnecessarily tense atmosphere. Lighten up the vibe, staff and menu and it would be much better. We both had a lamb dish (being in Wales) which was poor. The meat was dry and the sauce in short supply. Not the best experience

A bit mixed. I telephoned to book in the morning, wanted around 7.00 and was told either 6.15 or 8.45. Went for the 6.15 and we were the only diners in the restaurant until 7! The staff were not completely attentive.The food was good although the langoustine was just one, which was disappointing.Desserts were good and it was nice to have a choice of dessert wine.Final disappointment was when after asking for the bill and the waiter said he would get the card machine he then decided to clear tables from other customers.Overall only average because the price charged would imply a better level of service. From reading other reviews on here this is clearly is a recurring problem.

This restaurant provides you with an amazing view overlooking the beach of saundersfoot. Great interior - very beach style. Good and supportive service, great range of wines. Fresh and excellent food. We had clams and fresh cod which was amazingly good. Small starter portions though but the view and the quality of the food compensates for that.
