Dylan's in Isle of Anglesey

Have just eaten at Dylan's. Lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting. I had a pizza my wife had Lasagne. My pizza was lovely fair play and would have again. 1 slight gripe I asked for extra chilli and was told yes no problem. Wasn't until we received the bill that I noticed I'd been charged £2.50 for this. Seems an awful lot for some extra chilli. This wasn't explained when I ordered . There we are I suppose we live and learn. Would have been very easy for the staff to mention this when ordering. Maybe something for Dylan's to consider in the future

Good local home cooked fayre with an extensive menu. The chowder and dirty pig were our favourites served to us as we overlooked the Menai Straits

Been to Dylan’s in Criccieth a few times so as we were staying near Menai Bridge though we would give the local Dylan’s a go. Busy, but not as busy as it could have been for a Saturday night. The food was up to the usual standard I have come to expect from Dylan’s. The service, unfortunately on this occasion, was not up to the usual Dylan’s standards. We arrive at 7:50 for an 8 pm table. Sat in the bar area briefly to look at menus before being shown to table just before 8. We gave our drinks order around 8:05 then our food order in around 8:15. One starter then 4 mains. The single starter arrived at 9:05. The mains around 9:30 after having checked with waiting staff if there was a delay. The delays were problematic in themselves but the thing that particularly annoyed was the lack of communication. A simple to say when meals were due and an apology would have been great but this didn’t happen. What particularly annoyed was a table nearby who arrived after us had finished and left before our mains arrived. After our meal we did speak with the staff, not to complain about food but just to discuss the lack of communication over potential delays to keep customers updated on meal preparation progress. So in summary, no issue with food just the lack of apparent management system for delays.

We had the most lovely lunch, the seafood chowder was utterly delicious and the service was excellent. Most definitely recommend.

Was told that takeaways could be ordered, attempted to then order and it was very difficult trying to figure out what could be ordered as a takeaway and what couldn’t. Person on the phone wasn’t very helpful, seemed to want to end the call as quickly as possible and kept on wanting to finish the order, even though we were ordering for a family - in the end, cancelled the order halfway through the call as it was too difficult trying to order

Good choice of food and drink in a light and airy restaurant with good views. Fast, friendly and helpful service from our server Heledd.

Found this place by accident, am blinking glad I did too. Was happily surprised by the fact it was dog friendly. The food was varied and suited both of us, as I love seafood and my partner is allergic sigh! The food was excellent, for both of us

Popped in to eat here. Food was fabulous. Lobster tacos on the specials as a starter were absolutely delicious. I dream about them! Main course feather blade beef was also delicious. Cannot wait to return for the lobster tacos.

Great service, lovely food and an amazing view! Really excellent atmosphere and we're brilliant about my food allergies.

Excellent food and the service from Sophie T was brilliant. Would definitely dine here again if visiting the area. 10/10

We shared 2 mains. Chicken Cesar salad. Seafood linguine. Chicken was chunks scattered over lettuce with croutons , cheese shavings ,anchovies ? and garlic mayo. It was ok. Overpriced. Not worth the money. A smaller portion as a starter maybe ok but boring as a main dish. Seafood linguine. Mussels crayfish prawns crab. Huge portion of linguine enough for two people to share. The seafood was not fresh but frozen bottled or other preserved method. Mussels were ok. Service was great. Views of Menai straits fabulous. Parking was non existent so make time to find a space if you have booked a table. Can’t really recommend. Sorry.

We visited Dylan's Menai Bridge today 13/7/24 for Lunch. We were shown to a table very courteously by a member of staff .We chose our food from the menu then placed our order at the reception area . The coffee and beer came quickly, then our bread arrived with no cutlery or serviettes. We then waited for over half an hour for our main meal .Other customers who had arrived after us, had their food well before us. We had to ask a member of staff where our food was, the reply, was that it will be served "now", but again we waited and still no food .Eventually the food arrived with no cutlery .,again we had to ask for the cutlery. Part of our order was a portion of skinny fries, again we had to request for the fries. By this time we felt very disappointed and let down that our table was not serviced as the other tables were. We have been regular customers at Dylan's as a family since the initial opening at Menai Bridge. It is with regret that we felt badly let down in this instance. Due to our total disappointment, we felt that we were not prepared to pay for the meal or the service today. John & Eleri Parry.

The food was lovely, plenty of choice with local ingredients. Very helpful, efficient staff. The views are stunning, especially on a summer's evening. Would definitely recommend it.

My eldest son, his wife their two children and myself, ate at Dylan’s at 5.15 on Monday, our meal was excellent and the service was friendly and professional. It was a delightful experience from start to finish, this is an extremely good restaurant in a strikingly good location.

As a family we have been visiting Dylan’s for many years and have returned time and time again always delighted with the food and service. We visited 2 months ago and we were disappointed in the level of service compared to what we were accustomed from you . We returned this week to be disappointed again ! When I mentioned the lobster was rubbery I was asked if I’d told the waiter when he checked on our food ! He didn’t . We were never approached to order deserts & had to ask at reception for the bill ! When we requested to take uneaten food home we were handed a roll of tinfoil that we couldn’t unravel , until the manager came over to help ! We will return as we love the venue and the views , But hope you’ve not got too busy and lost the quality of service that we loved .

Menu is immense and totally delicious - so much on here and caters well for gluten free. Service was spot on. An absolute favourite and should be on your bucket list when you head this way.

Good new menu with a good variety and a short specials board. Staff extremely friendly and helpful; food delicious. Slightly expensive but then it's worth it to have such an enjoyable experience. Location special.

Absolutely love going to Dylan's for a meal, whether it's lunch or evening, staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Food is always exceptional, it's our go to place for a meal out Keep up the great work

Lovely pizzas and seafood with a gorgeous view. Service was prompt and friendly and we just loved the atmosphere! The desserts were also delicious.

Fantastic food, I had the hake with Parmesan crust, a brilliant dish. The service as also excellent and also fabulous views from our table.

It’s our first time at Dylan’s and it won’t be our last. We had the pork dish and red dragon pizza, both were utterly delicious. The cider sauce was chefs kiss! The service was attentive and the view stunning. Wheelchair accessible and accommodating. Thank you

We visit Anglesey every year and always visit Dylan's in Menai Bridge; and this year celebrated a wedding anniversary with our first visit of the year. As usual the staff were very professional and friendly. Following a recommendation we shared the fish tacos as a starter and they were fabulous with a nice 'chilli kick', although two for one person could have been a struggle. For mains we had the feather-blade of beef which simply 'fell apart' and the herb crusted hake, which my wife said was delicious, but could have done with a bit more 'cream of leek'. The puddings too were 'special' and well worth forcing down ;) Already we are looking forward to our next visit in June.

Stopped in for a hot drink to warm up after a Rib Ride (which was brilliant). After a wait at the door to see if they were open, the maitre d’ appeared and said they were open but only for drinks before 11.30 which was fine for us. We were shown to a nice table by the waterside and left with the drinks menu. 20 mins later a waiter apologised and took our order and another 10 mins later our drinks appeared. There was only one other couple having coffee in there who arrived after us. We enjoyed our hot chocolates and deliberated about staying for food but then waited for 30 mins or so watching a few staff come and go in the background with absolutely no inclination to check on their 2 customers in an otherwise empty restaurant. Finally a waitress came and took our empty cups but promptly disappeared again. I assumed she would return with the bill but after another 15 mins I noticed the other couple were waiting to pay too. In the end they managed to catch a waiter by a til to pay, having left their table but, by the time we had put our coats on and made it to the reception, the waiter had gone again. We loitered in reception and eventually the maitre d’ came over and I politely said could I offer some feedback as we’d been waiting so long and noone had checked on us or asked us to pay and pointed out that we could have easily just walked out and noone would have noticed! He went straight on the defensive saying they’d left us to enjoy the views as they didn’t need our table til 12.30…no apology, no ‘I’ll get the bill’, no ‘would you like anything else’?! I had to ask if he’d like us to pay. Suffice to say we should have noted the recent poor TA reviews. We took ourselves over the road to +39 and were greeted with a warm welcome, polite attentive staff and delicious food. Tiny gestures that cost nothing but will always make customers want to return. We won’t be returning to Dylan’s.

Don’t bother! We went here for a family meal in March. The service was slow, dishes came at different times, we were waiting for one main for a while which meant other dishes went cold. Food is small and not good quality for the amount you pay, for example the sweet potato tacos had such a small amount of filling we thought it was a salsa topping. We had one bite and it was full of lettuce. Sorry not being funny but we certainly shouldn’t be paying over £13 for lettuce tacos….! Won’t be visiting again, wouldn’t recommend this restaurant at all.

I'll start with the positives.. The food was really lovely & nicely presented. Best sticky pudding I've ever had. Staff were friendly. Restaurant was quite buzy & lovely atmosphere. For the negatives We were lead into the conservatory area...fabulous views but it was very very drafty, to the point I had to keep my coat on throughout my meal, the waitress said ooo that's unusual as I've closed all the sliding doors...I'll get maintenance out. I ordered a chocolate orange Gin.....no I didn't get that it was a rhubarb & cranberry luckily I was ok with it....but not what I asked for..... We will return to Dylans, but I will make sure we are inside. We actually loved it here but the place was very cold, had it been warmer in the conservatory we'd have stayed for more drinks...

What a wonderful evening and meal! Izzy sorted out a table upstairs with the perfect view! Louis was our server and he was funny, kind and helpful. The menu was sublime. Delicious. We had whitebait and scallops for starters. Hake and Dirty Pig for main. So well presented, so tasty, great portion sizes. Overall, amazing! Thank you for such great service. We look forwards to a return.

Warm welcome, everywhere lovely & clean including the toilets. Food was delicious as always highly recommend the loaf for starters shared by two of us. The staff were busy but friendly & still very attentive.

I've been to Dylans in Menai Bridge and always enjoyed it - not this time. For the first half of our visit there was a stinging blue haze hanging in the air; the kitchen extractors clearly weren't functioning properly. Fortunately this cleared for the second hour we were there. Now to the service; after taking our drinks orders we waited nearly 15 minutes for them. Later, after staff had passed our empty glasses 20 times, we managed to order some second drinks by catching their attention. The food was the main problem; minuscule starters of crab and Welsh rarebit. My pizza came as a real surprise (as others have mentioned in previous reviews); gone is the thin crusted, well-filled pizza of the past. The pizza is now about 20% smaller and my daughter mentioned that it looked like a child's portion. However, the main problem was the total lack of filling; there was a huge gap for at least an inch all round the pizza which was just fluffy dough. There were five tiny mussels on it and when I picked the mussel shells up they were so overcooked the shells turned to carbonised dust. I counted three tiny slices of red chilli. As others have mentioned, I realise the industry is having a hard time - the price of the pizzas haven't gone up but the quantity and quality has plummeted and I would rather pay more to enjoy my meal. The pudding order came and was wrong. When the hot cross bun pudding came out it was still only on the wrong side of lukewarm. Don't get me started on the price of a pint of Aspalls - £7.25, a price I would expect to pay in London. And before Lisa R replies that they would have replaced a dish, it would have been replaced with a similar disappointing dish....and no-one bothered to ask us if everything was OK either during or after the meal anyway.

My recent visit to Dylan’s was an absolute disaster due to the rude and passive-aggressive behavior from the staff, an awful way to end our holiday. Despite decent food, the unwelcoming demeanor of the servers made us feel like inconveniences rather than valued guests. Snide remarks and staffs unprofessional behaviour the entire experience, leaving us uncomfortable and disappointed. I strongly advise against dining here if basic courtesy and hospitality are important to you.

Hostess was so welcoming, arrived early and asked about local walk. She recommended a walk out to Church Island, under the Menai Bridge, and past the Druid Stones. Loved it. Back for dinner, our special seating request was honored and made a huge difference (had requested a quieter corner), starters and pot of mussels were excellent. Light dessert of pineapple special very good. Venue is a little loud, sound carries - crying children. But was fun to have dogs lounging next to owners. Staff make this place - just the right level of attention.

Not a great experience. We had requested a table on the veranda when booking and were seated at a small table with one seat pointing inwards (without a view). I told the tall brunette lady I did not want this seat and she moved us...

Delicious food, lovely views over the Menai Strait. We’d especially requested a table with a view. It was lovely to be able to watch the sun go down over the water on a lovely spring Friday evening. We all loved our meals and drinks. One...

Lovely food, excellent service, stupendous view with a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit and wishing I didn't live 300 miles away.

Dylan's is my go-to restaurant on Anglesey. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the location, with a view directly over the Menai Straits, is spectacular. The quality of the food is also worth shouting about.. from the locally sourced Menai mussels to the...

We have been here in the past when the menu was more fish centric, we knew that had changed but fancied giving it a go. A little bit disappointed to be told on arrival that they couldn’t do a large mussels(even though it in mussel...

The staff were very helpful and the food was excellent. There was a lovely buzzy feeling even on the Sunday evening that we went.

Perfect lunch in the conservatory. The door was open, we could smell the sea. The food was delicious. The service was lovely. No one rushed us, we were made to feel we mattered. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back

Everything fine except pizza burnt around the edges. It shouldn't have been served really. Was offered a new one but that would have Involved a delay and my partner didn't want to eat alone. We like Dylan's and have been regularly over many years so...

I am most impressed by how our staff member (so sorry I didn’t ask your name) looked after my mum who is disabled. I booked late due to a last minute decision to visit my parents. A belated Mother’s Day meal. I asked for an...

Staying locally, we were recommended Dylan's by our cottage owner as we wanted a dog-friendly, family-friendly restaurant for a large group to celebrate a 40th birthday. Dylan's did not disappoint. Lovely customer service in the lead up to the day, dog biscuits left on the...

Took my friend out for her little birthday meal in Menai Bridge Dylan's. Perfect table looking out to the Straits. Lovely service and fab food as always. I had the hake and my friend had the prawns for main. Sticky toffee pudding is a treat...

This was a lunch time treat for myself and a friend. Sadly, it was far from what I expected and the visit was very disappointing. We were in the "conservatory" which was lovely and warm, nice view and attentive staff, but the food was a...

‘Hello there’ as Lisa R seems to write all the time. Yeh ok night, good service, food nothing special but basically my Braised Feather Blade of Beef was not as I expected. It was ‘pulled’ beef which I hate and it was not mentioned on...

We had a lovely meal at Dylan’s it was fresh and delicious. They were very dog friendly ( no sitting us in a corner away from everyone else) and treats available. The only slight criticism would be that the service was very fast ! We...

Really welcoming when we arrived. It was a rough day but felt a lot better as soon as we were inside. Service was quick and very efficient. The food was just terrific. We all ate different dishes and everyone said theirs was great. I had...

It's been almost a year since my family and I dined here. I have yet to receive an acknowledgement of my complaint or money back where they overcharged us for wine and food. If i could leave zero stars i would- Terrible customer service at...

Food was ‘reasonable’ in quality & taste however it was only just warm enough to not complain so it was edible at the temperature. It would be preferred if it had been served a little hotter. It was served on a luke warm plate but...

Disappointed with everything. It was cold in the restaurant, the starters were greasy and my gluten free pizza was undercooked. It was a shame as we had enjoyed the other Dylans last year. It was also v expensive.

Disappointed.Food underwhelming,staff stood around staring at us as if they couldn't wait for us to leave.Made us feel quite uncomfortable and unwelcome. Didn't stay for dessert for that very reason.Won't be back.Siomedig iawn.

A beautiful lunch for Mother’s Day. It’s always a lovely atmosphere and wonderful food, looking forward to our next visit.

Great restaurant for casual dining, but with great food. Good views across the strait. Worth booking because it gets full.

Visited on several occasions over the years and will return again to enjoy what in the main is excellent cuisine. Dissapointed with the seafood linguinie for the lack of flavour and few very small mussels. Would have been good for someone to have taken a...

My Wife and I loved the spectacular views from the table. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Hope to come back soon A unique experience 😁

We love Dylan’s and have eaten her many times. Our recent lunch here was, however, disappointing. The pizza had a much larger crust than usual and not as much topping and was burnt. The prawns pil pil appeared to have been frozen and defrosted and...

Stunning views over menai straits. Perfectly cooked Hake and calamari starter Relaxed and cosy atmosphere Never fails to disappoint

Have previously been to Dylan’s at Conwy and Criccieth, this is by far my favourite. Visited yesterday for the first time with 3 friends to end our couple of days away together in Wales . Lovely food , great views and staff all attentive, friendly...

Excellent food in a wonderful setting, with good service. We had calamari and seafood chowder which were both very tasty. The views from the restaurant are great.

We have eaten at Dylans on numerous occasions over the last eight years and we have never been disappointed. The food is great as is the atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and attentive. There is really nothing to add.

A lovely dog-friendly restaurant with great food. We really appreciated how accommodating you were with our 2 dogs. The food was ok too!

We booked this restaurant, as we were in town for the half marathon on the day. The restaurant was easy to find, near the Menai Straight. We arrived and did wait a few minutes to be shown to our table, which was a very nice...

Delicious food and drinks, you could tell they take a real pride in their food. Lovely staff - very accommodating to seat us early when we had over estimated our time to reach the restaurant. Great location - perfect in the beginning of March, but...

We had a lovely lunch at Dylan’s today. The food was lovely, and the service was excellent. Will definitely return when we are back in the area.

Lovely venue. The view was great and I asked for a sea view which was perfect. Food was excellent and the service very good. Highly recommend the whole experience.

Booked Dylans online before arriving on Anglesey for the weekend. Fabulous location with amazing views. The menu was impressive , lots of choice at a fair price .The food was delicious and a well change from chain restaurants. The staff went above and beyond to...

We enjoyed a lovely lunch in a unique location right on the edge of the Menai Straits. The atmosphere was great and we could even take the dog in. The food was delicious, although a little pricey, but the Pokey Bowl was especially good. Service...

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Dylan’s. Delicious sea food linguine and my wife had mussels- small helpings adequate if you also have dessert. The sticky toffee pudding was superb!

We were visiting Anglesey and this restaurant was recommended on the app. We were not disappointed, delicious seafood. The staff were so welcoming and upbeat and we felt we were really well looked after. Very reasonably priced too. Fantastic views over the Menai Street. We...

We ate dinner here two nights in a row. Our first night was absolutely perfect--wonderful food, service, and view (until the sun set). The second night was wonderful except we were seated on the second floor near 2 large parties celebrating birthdays. But it was...

Menai Bridge branch, staffs are great and kind. The restaurant face to the sea. It's nice view. Food is tasty and quite big portion. Beer is very good.

A really well run restaurant in a great location overlooking the Menai Staits. The menu was varied with lots of choice. We both chose the tomato soup followed by the special mixed calzone. Both were delicious. The staff are hard working and friendly. I recommend...

We’ve visited Dylan’s at Menai Bridge many times and this visit did not disappoint. Staff were welcoming and helpful and we were delighted to be given a table with a great view of the Straits too. We enjoyed tasty starters of homemade mackerel pate and...

Great food, venue, position, service- what more can we say? We come back time after time! I recommend the moules, get the skinny fries as a side mmmm!

First time at Dylan’s at Menai Bridge but it won’t be the last. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a family birthday celebration. Worth a visit just for the Baked Artisan Loaf. A hot sliced hand baked bread with Welsh butter. Amazing

Fabulous food as always! Even the bread for a starter which in so many places could be so boring was delicious- warm with lashings of salty butter, yum! Both had pizzas for main and these were perfect and so tasty. Staff were friendly (as always),...

Fabulous restaurant, great ambiance, great menu just one negative. I am a lover of New Zealand Marlborough sauvignon blanc wine and the only option of Cloudy Bay at £65 a bottle was very disappointing.

Called in for coffee before rib ride and decided to have lunch afterwards. Great service and fantastic food. Brisket burger, chowders, pork and linguine dishes all excellent.

Fantastic food and great service as usual. Lovely views of the Menai Straight. Family friendly for all age's. Good background music. Fabulous evening out.

We decided to celebrate my wife's birthday here and were delighted with the BRAISED FEATHER BLADE OF WELSH BEEF that we both had - deliciously tasty and filling. The staff were friendly and welcoming and offered us a choice of tables so we chose one with a fabulous view and a cosy radiator as we were wet and cold when we went in - but warm and toasty when we came out! Lovely busy but relaxed atmosphere, a great place to eat scrumptious food...

Three of us visited at a lunch time in February, we hadn’t booked, it was busy but we got a great table overlooking the water. Staff were all lovely and attentive, gorgeous views! Food was very tasty but quite overpriced for the portion size. I ordered the gambas pil pil for my main, it was just a small dish of about 5 or 6 prawns with fries and salad, I was expecting many more prawns for a main meal. Maybe I picked poorly, would definitely give the restaurant a second chance.

Superb food, service and location with very attentive staff who made our experience at Dylan’s, Menai Bridge special and unforgettable. Stunning location felt like sitting in the sea!

Excellent food and service. Really enjoyed our meals. Location is beautiful. Cocktails were good but very weak, mainly just Ice but other than that perfect night.

Great location and overall the food was good. Disappointed with the mussels especially as many were served with broken shells.

Fantastic setting overlooking the Menai Strait. Great food with local produce and a good price. Best Calamari I’ve had and my wife had the lobster which she thought was amazing. Great service and we will certainly be returning.

Hugely disappointing! The lobster (speciality dish for Valentine's Day) was overcooked and chewy. I'd expected better fron a specialty seafood restaurant.

Lovely lunch In beautiful surroundings. Went for lunch in this restaurant which overlooks the Menai Straits. Try the 3 portion dessert!

Contaminated food with GLASS. Awful experience. We had a big distress about finding pieces of GLASS in our dishes. Management didn't charge for food,but did not care and valued us as their customers. It's NOT normal to have GLASS in a dish.

A fantastic location with faultless hospitality, a menu that makes the best out of locally sourced produce. We have been to Dylan’s in Llandudno, Cricceith and Menai Bridge and the quality is consistently excellent in all three! We will be back, great brand and vision!

Expensive (which we didn’t mind) But totally spoilt meal because of a yapping dog throughout our stay. Hoping staff would speak to the customers with the annoying dog….

What a find . Lovely staff especially Chloe g who served us , but everyone else equally approachable. Friend glutenfree had Chicken burger which she said is the best she had has tasted in long-time. I had Chicken in basket and would recommend done to...

Lovely food and service. Flight of wings and crayfish to start, both which were very good. Mains of mushroom pasta, seafood linguini and moule frites. Mussels were particularly good. Finished off with cheese board and churros. Good value and lovely welcoming staff. Thank you.

Great meal with my Mum , booked early at 5pm and had a lovely table overlooking the the Straits. I picked the vege tacos and mum had chicken in a basket with nice shandy and glass of red . Staff were very attentive and helpful...

Having been dozens of times before maybe this was our last visit. What used to be a good value dining experience has become too expensive. Tonight I was charged £23 for 2 glasses of fairly ordinary house wine which I think was the final straw.

Lovely setting, overlooking Menai Straits. Good service, the staff are friendly. We really enjoyed our lunch, food fabulous.

Lovely restaurant good choice of drinks on arrival. Food was A1 lovely flavours and presentation through every course. Service was perfect. My only slight negative was the chairs weren't very comfy and I found myself getting restless after half an hour.

We visited Dylan's at Menai, having been there many times before. It's such a shame. The staff are great but the quality and quantity of the food is really a lot worse while the prices have increased, ridiculous money for what we had. Mainly pizza...

Great location right on the water with impressive views. A good varied menu which is very appealing for families. The whole loaf starter was great, served nice and hot, we really enjoyed that. Our main courses were unfortunately a little mixed with some of us...

As always excellent, great food and service. Family friendly, sometimes a bit noisy, overall a most enjoyable experience. Great!

Such a lovely experience. Food excellent and service too. Sat in the conservatory which was lovely looking out to sea. Would highly recommend.

We visit Dylan’s Restaurant every year on our way to our holiday destination. We pre booked and requested a quiet table for lunch. Upon our arrival we were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. We were taken to our table at the back of the...

Having been for the first time (I won’t be back ever) and read the reviews there is a theme running through most reviews which is tables too close together, food average at best (mine wasn’t cooked thoroughly and sent back, didn’t chance another) and a...
