Dexters in Carmarthenshire

Myself an my husband had steak 🥩 an it was superb we had starters which were superb , an puds which were delicious , will definitely be back for more , staff were very good to polite an attentive down to earth lovely ladies .

Ordered starters of crispy beef & scallops. I've had better from farm foods. Complained & was told that everyone else was happy. Cancelled our order, paid for drinks & are now in Gingers ((best curry house in Carmarthen). Avoid Dexter's at all costs, food is atrocious....

VERY great steak, had fillet. And the dessert was amazing too! Absolute recommendation!

Fantastic value for lunchtime menu starter, steak and dessert for £22.50! We will be back soon 😋

A wonderful restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is beyond praise, especially the seafood dishes!

Steak was amazing. Had the fillet. Cooked to perfection.

Superb food and service. Highly recommend the scallops, the best I've tasted. Double cheeseburger and confit of pork were amazing. Deserts spectacular. Lovely location next to the river. What a find. We happened to drive past and thought we'd give it a try. Will definitely be back.

We went here for hubby 50th and had the chateaubriand! Super delicious and would highly recommend. We were really hungry so only took a few snaps.

My friend and I enjoyed the set menu. We had the option of a three - or two course meal. We chose a main and desert. The main consisted of a rump steak with peppercorn sauce salad and triple cooked chips. The food was delicious and well presented. The panacotta desert was delightfully refreshing, light, and scrumptious.

Booked online with one week advance, half of the food wasn't there because they were not updating regularly. If you sit outside, prepare yourself for all the frying oil smell from the kitchen blowing up on you, because they have no technology in place, so you ending up stinking like a chefs! Compare the prices, and the starts on Google Dexter's needs up to them games! My food was very nice (I'm a fish eater), my husband was okay with his steak, but wasn't over the moon. My mother of law was really disappointed, because no turkey was available,( apparently only Christmas, well we were at the end of July, can't believe it no one was updating) ending up with chicken nuggets from the kids section. Good but definitely place for improvement.

Myself, husband and children came for food on Friday evening and was most definitely an experience! The food is fantastic with good quality steaks and a varied menu. The staff were absolutely fantastic especially with having our 2 young children to cater to. We we welcomed by the manager Claire who was very accommodating to our requests and made sure we had everything we needed. All the staff were amazing and would 100% recommend this restaurant.

Lovely place very cosy beautiful food

The steak is delicious and the atmosphere is great

The lamb is very delicious, but a little salty

First time visting Dexters, it was recommended, so booked a table online, which was easy and convenient to use Gotta say an absolutely amazing time we had, the staff were really courteous and friendly, When our food arrived it was outstanding, our steaks were cooked to perfection 👌 and the potions were more than enough. Thanks to the staff for making our visit a great one, will definitely return, a great place must say if you like your Steak.

Well where do I start . We visited Dexters today 30 July 24. This was by far the worst experience ever at an expensive restaurant. As soon as we arrived my husband asked the waitress Clare for a pint of estrella, her attitude and the way she spoke to him was unacceptable. She was so unprofessional, miserable, rude and arrogant and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. ( this is the second time that we have experienced her unprofessional and rude behaviour) after a long wait, she then sent her colleague to take our drinks order . My husband waited 30 minutes for a drink. By this point we decided to pay for my drink and leave. I decided to call the restaurant and make an official complaint. My details were noted by the Manager . I am now awaiting a call back from the Owner Alex. I hope Dexters take on board my comments and admit that the way we were treated by Clare is totally unacceptable. And if they had any respect for us as their customers issue us with a genuine and sincere apology!

Sunday lunch, food, very disappointed. Aberdeen Angus, gristle and fat, not able to cut through the meat. Food nearly cold. We were first sitting, cold food, small portions. But expensive.

First and foremost the staff are lovely! Welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Food is excellent.

Such a good experience, the food was all delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned, perfect portion sizes too! We will absolutely be returning! Only let down was the vegetarian options, the risotto was a very small portion compared to the other mains we had, and the flavour was not as we'd hoped

Coming here on a regular basis now at least once a month for date day with my wife, I hands down recommend these guys the place is absolutely gorgeous! The food specifically the filet steak was just mouth-wateringly delicious! The staff as always are professional and always tend to your needs with the upmost respect and professionalism. We will return time and time again.

The service was excellent and food really good. The variety and portions were sufficient for the price.

Tasty food, fast service by attentive and friendly staff. Nice outdoor terrace

Great quality food and excellent service.

Lovely food and great service. Really enjoyed it and can not recommend it enough.

The food was absolutely amazing I would happily come to Dexters again

I don’t really do reviews much, but wow, the fillet steak I had here is next level. Honestly one of, if not the, best steaks I’ve ever had. And I’ve eaten my fair share of steaks.

Great food,friendly and efficient staff lovely atmosphere

We have been to dexters 4 times now and have never been disappointed the service we receive is always exceptional and the food is amazing, the steaks and deserts are amazing. I would highly recommend your restaurant.

Very nice restaurant, very pleasant and friendly staff Excellent meats

Absolutely superb!! Will 100% be coming again! Steak melted in your mouth

I usually go for quick takeaway food but on this occasion I felt like treating my self and I wasn't let dow. The servic was good and the food was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Dexjī

Popped in here last night before our film . What a lovely restaurant staff couldn’t do enough for you and food was amazing. Will definitely be returning 😀

We had a last minute booking but managed to find a table outside. The service was great, all the people who served us were sweet and attentive. The food: for starters we had scallops which was absolutely amazing and duck liver which was a little different to the tastebuds but was a good first time try! For our mains I had the lamb which was beautifully cooked and just fell apart the sauces on it were immaculate it also came with a side of potatoes with a creamy sauce which went so well with the lamb. My partner went for a steak which was also beautifully cooked and came with a side of fries. We also got a side of spinach with rarebit but was unfortunately not a massive fan of it. For dessert we had the coffee and truffles for which we requested for an iced coffee instead of regular coffee and we had a pint of coffee which was brilliant! I also had chocolate delice which was so delicious! For drinks we had a glass of wine and a non alcoholic red berry mojito - the mojito was an absolute hit for the both of us Overall we had a great time and will be visiting again. Thanks!

Food was fantastic. We had the threecpurse lunch. Absolutely wonderful

Excellent lunch on the nice terrace. The fillet was tender and very tasty. The mashed potatoes delicious too. We enjoyed our meal and the service was great.

Absolutely amazing cant fault any of it

Great food, good atmosphere and friendly staff

Good was great. Staff were very friendly.

The restaurant was truly impressed with its large, succulent steaks, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The quality of the food is exceptional, offering great value for money. Eagerly looking forward to the next visit!

Table of two and we ordered from Lunch set menu ( 2 course for 20 £). We had Main course first, when asked for desserts the waitress brought both menus, a la carte(desserts) menu and the Lunch set menu. The dessert on the Lunch set menu was a panna cotta but we decited to have 2 desserts from the a la carte menu thinking we will have to pay a supplement for ordering other desserts(the panna cotta was also on the a la carte desserts menu priced very similar with the ones we ordered) . When I went to pay i checked the bill and on it it was the 2 desserts we ordered from the a la carte menu. So they wanted me to pay 40£ for the Main courses + 20£ for the desserts. The waitress didn't say we'll have to pay for the desserts when we ordered them. We wouldn't have ordered them. Why would i pay 20£ more when the whole meal was 40£. We would have been happy having the panna cotta, if knowing we need to pay the full price if we want other desserts . I said to the lady i'm sorry but i'm not happy to pay for them. She didn't say sorry or anything, she was blaming me for ordering other desserts. Eventually after seeing i refuse to pay she said she can take one dessert off the bill. Having enough i paid and left. I've been here many times and it was lovely every time. This time if they are happy to make 10£ off of me they got the 10 £ but they lost a customer. Food was very nice. But what a shame.

The food was nice, the service was great.

Really good steak, atmosphere and service

Couldnt fault anything, food was lovely

A bit of a treat as it's pricey but the Welsh lamb was the best I've had. The steaks looked very good too. We were all very full but couldn't resist the pudding menu. Would go again if in the area. Carmarthen is actually a very nice town lots of quirky shops and a once impressive castle that now has a town hall build in the middle of it which is a bit odd!

Very good food. Excellent service.

Really lovely little restaurant, nice atmosphere and great food 😊

Just wish they had more windows but great find

Best fillet steak I have had for a long time with blue cheese sauce as well.

Great service, beautiful restaurant with good atmosphere, first visited in April 2022 & the food was amazing we’ve been 3 times since the last on 26th feb for partners birthday where I can honestly say food was lovely but has got decreasingly worse since we first went, sauces are smaller, salads are smaller, chips aren’t as good. Would still recommend but not sure why standards have dropped slightly but prices have increased greatly? last photo is when we first visited & first photo is last visit, food isn’t served on the board like it used to be which is also a shame as it was perfect as it was

Went before Xmas. Been several times before and were not disappointed. Best ever steak and great atmosphere. Can't wait to go again. Yummy

Had a great meal here: The place : looks fantastic, it has that warm and cosy vibe with unobtrusive lighting. The Food: presentation was superb. Everything we ordered was very tasty. Can't fault it. The staff : friendly, polite, professional and knowledgeable. The price : slightly overpriced in my opinion considering location. Overall experience: I had a great time and am pretty much satisfied.

Sorry it was far too delicious to share a before pic of the food, it was gone before I had the chance! Great service, friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic, the bread, the salads, the chips and the steak simply melted. Now we know of Dexters we will be going again! There is a great atmosphere inside, warm and well decorated, with a fire. All concocted to aid in helping you to relax.

Great place. Food is stunning. Never had a bad meal. Highly recommend. Staff are great and friendly.

I am honestly blown away by the quality of Dexter's. I've wanted to dine here for as long as they have been open, but never really found the time, so when I was gifted a voucher by my partner's parents, "overjoyed" seems minimising. At last, I had an excuse to make the time. After getting all dressed up, we arrived and were seated at a gorgeous table underneath fairy lights, served water, and presented with menus and a wine list - if I hadn't downloaded the menu previously from their website I would have struggled to choose! Everything sounded delicious, but eventually we settled on starters of short rib and crispy calamari (the short-rib taking top prize); mains of ribeye steak with parmesan-truffle fries, house salad, garlic & shallot butter, and an extra side of mac&cheese; desserts of trifle and Biscoff sundae; and finally a round of decaf coffee with salted chocolate truffles. The wine (an Argentinian Malbec I had never tried) was a perfect compliment to the meal, the food was exquisitely presented, and the two servers who took care of us (Sophie and Mickey) were kind, efficient, and treated us with every consideration. The atmosphere was soft and romantic, the music was perfect, and I'll be remembering this night for as long as I live. I will absolutely be coming back, this wasn't just a meal - it was an experience like no other.

I love this place and enjoy it every time I go.. delicious food and cosy atmosphere. The outside is beautiful at night, and it's quite a treat overlooking the river Towy.

Fantastic food and service. Will definitely be going again soon!

Went to Dexter last Wednesday had fantastic well presented Christmas day reasonably prized compared to hotels in town. Could not fault good, service wine. The swede were the best I have ever eaten. Will go again before Christmas

Amazing food! Went for a treat before Christmas and came back after with my parents. Amazing 👏

Wonderful place to celebrate a birthday. Food was fantastic.

I mean just WOW! WHAT a spectacular place! My partner and I took a night off from our buisness and came hear having heard outstanding reviews- My partner has been a cheff for 20 years and I've been in and out if the industry front of house. I have to say the staff are apsolutly incredible and the cheffs are artists! We have not been that impressed for a long time - Many places claim to be fine dining and just don't hit that mark but this place Effortlessly did so with such class! The attention to detail was second to no one! So professional and freindly without being overwhelming - At all points we did not have to wait for a drink and the food was cleared and deliverd at exactly the right times- The lady who served us discreetly checked my wine before removing the glass which impressed me, the prices are exceptionally reasonable and the food was outstanding! Beautiful flavours delicately balanced with perfect portion sizes! We couldn't help but order multiple courses when we would usually only order two! You guys need to go for some rosettes because my word you deserve them (if you have not already!) We come from Pembrokeshire so have some lovely establishments in our area but you knocked the socks off them all! We were embarrassingly late due to unforseen road works but your staff made this seem like no bother whatsoever and simply said drive safe and we will see you when you get here! They could not have been more polite and welcoming- when as an 8 pm booking arriving 20 minutes late this must have been quite annoying! The music was perfect volume and fitted the mood and ambiance beautifully- The establishment was decorated to perfection and we found your dry aging cabinets highly impressive - we were there for two hours and everything just flew by in a haze of perfection! As buisness owners in this industry we were able for the first time to shut off from work and just enjoy the experience of a truly special place and have a wonderful date night that is incredibly rare for us! Thankyou all so much your entier team are absolutely incredible and as said before your cheffs are pure artists! 100 percent will return and will recomend to everyone we know! Thankyou again!

Had a lovely meal with my partner and her parents, flat iron steak I had was delicious, the szechuan belly pork starter was amazing, until next time.

A fabulous steak restaurant serving wonderful steaks. There are other dishes to choose but predominantly a meat 🍖 restaurant. Good selection of starters and deserts. Good wine list. Overlooking the River. Staff are professional and friendly. Restaurant is very estetically done. All in all, a good eatery.

Brilliant food. Staff are fantastic they go above and beyond. Thanks again!!!!

First time visiting. Fantastic food in a fantastic venue

Excellent food and service. Only slight criticism would be that the chairs are not very comfortable for the larger person.

Wonderful atmosphere, lovely dining experience and the food was excellent. We loved the Welsh-speaking, helpful staff and had a lovely evening. We had the confit of pork and duck liver starters, fillet steak and lamb mains and Biscoff and salted caramel sundae and Rum Baba desserts with a delicious red to wash it all down. Highly recommended. 👌

My daughter and I visited Dexter's for a birthday meal. The food was delicious staff were super friendly it was a great experience!!

Nice drinks and atmosphere. Lovely seeing the meat hanging in the bar area. Approachable staff as well

Absolutely the best steak restaurant in Carmarthenshire. Friendly & helpful staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Great menu choices

lovely place and food! thank you xx

Wonderful dinning at Dexters. With no reservation they were able to accommodate us, steaks were cooked perfectly, everyone and everything was 5 star.

Atmosphere and service excellent. Booked for 2.45 lamb and slow cook beef very tasty and good portion. Meal let down by cold hard roast potatoes ,shop bought bought sauce and you need to be a massive butter fan as swede and cabbage very rich.

Can't fault Dexters in terms of quality, fine dining - in a relaxed environment. Sunday lunches are superb here.

We had a fantastic lunch at Dexter. The meat was tender and delicious, the service was fantastic and the lunch menu had very fair prices. What a nice surprise! Highly recommended.

Meeting a friend for lunch I googled Carmarthen restaurants. Sort of hidden away a little as I didn’t realise it was here. Glad I found it though as it’s a gem. Great staff, great inside and great food. Had a flat iron for lunch and it was perfect, with delicious fries. As good as any steakhouse I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot!

Great food truly one of the best steak burgers I've ever had

Hard to find fault. Everyone says this but is was one of the best steaks I have ever tasted. The atmosphere and staff were perfect too.

Wow, delicious, every aspect from the starters to the burgers to the steaks the sauces even the salad were absolutely delicious, the service was excellent ,friendly helpful and accomodating,i didnt have a drink myself but i was told by those that did that both the red and white wine were very very nice , a tad pricey compared to some but well worth that extra cost ,we will be back ,certainly couldnt afford to go on a regular basis but for a treat to be remembered and enjoyed this place is up there ,well worth a visit i highly recommend.

Sat outside on warm day. Table was a bit small for plates etc. but food was delicious - well presented, tasty, reasonable price & tasty! Service good - would go again if in area. thanks

Amazing meal, happy staff, great experience. Perfect for a special occasion. Will definitely return.

Great steak house, with comfortable decor and furnishings, lovely food and a choice of alternatives for those who don't want a steak. Not a cheap place to eat, but if you want a steak sourced and cooked as it should be, this is for you. Just returned from another meal there for my birthday, and the same high standard is present.

The meat is cooked to perfection. Starters / desserts are on the pricy side.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast and excellent service. Will be back soon hopefully.

Fantastic food and venue! Recommend in all our Holiday Let’s as a must place to visit! Well done Dexters 👏👏👏 Nicky Bright Holidays

Excellent food, friendly attentive service. We had a great night with our friends

Visited this week for an evening meal with parents. Meal and service were great but let down by 4 children who kept running inside, screaming and running up and down the stairs to the toilets. Parent(s) were sitting outside and didn't seem to care that their children were disrupting other diners inside. On a few occasions the staff (with trays of drinks and food), had to stop to let them run past. Bit disappointing that none of the staff said anything.

Some of the best steak I have ever eaten. So glad we visited. Black truffle butter was amazing as well. Might come back to Carmarthen just to come here again.

Nice place and great service, Sunday dinner was fantastic next time will try steak!

Fantastic customer service from their waiting staff, really considerate of the kids. And the food is great too. Come here you won't be disappointed.

Excellent service with friendly staff

If you like slabs of perfectly cooked meat, then this place will be for you. They even know how to cook filet steak 'blue' (just as it should be). Plenty of other stuff, too, plus good puddings and a sensibly-priced wine list. Great cocktails as well. Right by the river, which is nice. It's not cheap, but then properly-sourced beef isn't, is it?

I took my fiance to Dexter for his birthday on the 4th of May 2023. The restaurant was refreshing, the waiters were very pleasant, the food was super delicious. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star is when we booked they told us they want the table at 8pm. They didn't even ask if we are celebrating something and we may need to be a bit longer, just that they need the table at 8. I've never been to a fine dining restaurant that tells you they want the table at a time, and I've been to many.

Starters were a little bit slow arriving. Starter and main were far too salty for me, however my daughter had the Moroccan taggine and that was amazing

Outstanding menu and the food made with love. It is a bit on't pricey side, but well worth the money. 3 course and drinks, with tip was about £55.But stunning! Staff were really friendly, service was great. Will definitely be returning...

Food was stunning, staff were great , we went the for the full three courses which wasn't cheap but I'd definitely go again.

Nice little find this. Great beer on a beautiful decking followed by a nice Ribeye steak meal. Fantastic service by Fin. Thank you.

Obviously, the steak was utterly lovely, and the tempura prawns were wondrous. Triple cooked chips are a danger to this old bloke's teeth, though, and the salad was disappointing. A bit of chopped lettuce with three tiny croutons, and a tasteless dressing just won't do. Maybe the Brexit tomato shortage is biting? Still, a great dinner, thanks!

I loved the place, the attention is very good, nice place

Very fine restaurant with reasonable price located right next to River Towy. Food is amazing. Ordered steak and lamb shoulder, cooked to perfection. Kids' food was OK, not amazing, but I think the selling point is the adult food! Dessert was beautiful too. Customers service was excellent! They even let my 7 year old to press some buttons at the cashier! Thoroughly enjoyed our evening there 👍

Very good food, reasonable price, great service.
