Llandudno Bay Hotel Restaurant in Conwy

Super nice location, very nice staff and the food was also very tasty. We felt so comfortable that we stayed there twice for several hours.

A real let down and frustrating to have paid so much Disappointing as the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Food took quite a long time to come out, but we weren't too fussed. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing for the price. With the mussels and chowder it was just cream with slightly different herbs - chowder each mouthful the same (I suppose you could argue that's to be expected but it was really lacking in different textures and flavours). The hake was good quality fish but the accompaniments were very lacking in flavour or complement to the fish. I felt myself thinking "there are other fats than cream for cooking!". With fish that seemed as fresh as it was, I would think the chef would relish the opportunity to make some really tasty fully-rounded dishes where each ingredient complements the others. Very disappointed at the end of the day - waste of money. Sunday roast pictures look good but we were frustrated that we went there - it was because it looked nice from the outside.

We called yesterday for dinner and loved our time here from start to finish. The team were all super polite and chatty all three courses were tasty and well prepared. Special mention goes to the beef Tacos I had for starters. The drinks selection was decent too. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely, everything I expected from. My first visit to Llandudno and I had the most wonderful seafood chowder at Dylan’s. And a generous tiramisu dessert too. Highly recommended!!!

I dined at Dylan’s as it was close to where I was staying and it was amazing the staff were very attentive and the food was so delicious highly recommend

Really nice atmosphere, and first class service and food. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to eat. Dog friendly too, so that was a real bonus

Asked for a pint of Guinness and got a can of Guinness, 2 pints over £14 scandalous

Loved this place , tasteful in decor… great view of the bay … Accommodating staff … Caitlyn in particular was fantastic for us.. My only feedback for improvement is to align the Gents decor with the main restaurant it lets down an excellent venue .

5*. Food was very nice (main and desert) and the service was really good. Nice that there was no ‘optional service charge’ added automatically to the bill.

We had a really great experience at Dylan’s Llandudno. The food was fantastic. Freshly prepared to perfection. Our service was professional and friendly. Thanks to Cait and Paige for taking such good care of us. If you are in the area and craving seafood like we were, look no further than Dylan’s!

Molly, Sean & Natalie treated us to a wonderful afternoon of gorgeous food & drinks to celebrate a best friend arriving from overseas! The photos really do speak for themselves, everything was plentiful and extremely tasty, served with great Welsh drinks (Local ale, Welsh Cider & Gin). We couldn't have asked for a better place to take our visitor from the US for their first meal out in North Wales. 2nd time to a Dylan's joint (previously for an evening meal at Menai) and I'll definitely be back! We had quite a bit of meat left over (as we wanted to leave room for desserts!), without question they brought us a box to take it all home to have some later!

Thank you Dylan's Llandudno for a wonderful afternoon. Myself and my two friends were served by Molly, Sean and Natalie who all greeted us with a smile and went above and beyond to make it a great experience. We went for the Sunday Lunch Club and the food was absolutely delicious, we couldn't believe the size of the spread, we had enough for a huge lunch and have still ended up bringing some home. Both the chicken and ham hock were cooked to perfection, the frazzle dusted roast potatoes were to die for, topped off by loads of gravy! We'll definitely be returning.

I am visiting from San Francisco and my friends took me to Dylan’s for a fabulous Sunday lunch. The decor was lovely, atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and the food was all fantastic. The price and portions are excellent. This is the best ham I have had in years and the sticky toffee pudding was such a delicious way to end the meal. The service was fantastic, shout out to Sean who checked us in, Natalie who took our drinks order, and Molly who served us our food and took a picture of us. I hope to visit before I leave!

We managed to get a table last minute and were not disappointed. The menu was vast and it was hard to choose ( a good thing) as there were so many amazing options. Beautiful food, especially the artisan loaf. We loved the home made sauces and salt, lovely touches. We would definitely return again if in the area.

Food was okay, nothing special for the price but likely more expensive given beach front location. Chicken in a basket wasn’t anything spectacular and the tacos were quite small with not a huge amount of fish so suggest ordering a side as well. I would try something else on the menu next time

Health standards in the back is disgusting, re microwaved food and staff wearing kitchen wear to do bins and cook food without changing gloves or hairnets and the rat problem out back is diabolical, place should be shut down for health concerns and not their doing the bins and going through rubbish with same hair net and gloves they wear going back into the kitchen urrrr

Travelled 2 hours to get to the restaurant as it was booked for a special occasion booked for lunch no sunday lunch available even though we had been told at the time of booking that it would be on the menu ordered promptly as we had a small baby with us took over a hour for our food to arrive .it was awful the burger was dry and like cardboard .other guest ordered the marinated chicken and it was awful. We left most of the food was planning to stay for pudding and drinks but left . Awful experience so disappointed overated

Fabulous dog friendly restaurant. I’ve returned to Dylan’s many times. The food is good, the staff are lovely and the location is wonderful. I had the Welsh blade of beef and would highly recommend. Cinnamon churros for dessert didn’t disappoint

Really lovely place! Great location, right on the prom, lovely on the inside as well. The staff were lovely and efficient, the food was amazing and I would say reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere in there too

Lovely meal at Dylan's, the Cuban calzone is to die for! Service was a bit slow but don't think there was many staff on for how busy it was, and they were very friendly and attentive. We went on a Monday so it wasn't hard to get a table but it does get busy so book ahead!

This was our first time at Dylan's and it didn't dissapoint. We went with our 2 digs and had a reservation for a Saturday evening. Location, setting and atmosphere was great with our table not hidden away like some Dog Friendly places. The food was great and all locally sourced. The mussels exceptional. Would definitely go here again. Worth the 5 stars based on our experience.

Been to 2 of the Dylans before so knew what to expect. Not much change to the menu in 3 years. It is a bit pricey for a chicken burger and the beer was so overpriced. My food was cold but we had to get back to the car so didn't complain. Easy to spend £50+ so not cheap. Staff are helpful, friendly and professional. Worth a first time visit but we won't rush back. Not happy with dogs being allowed either.

Nice atmosphere, good service, and food.

Very nice restaurant and staff. Bit pricy but worth it

Found this little gem on the first day of our break in Llandudno. Four of us had scrumptious Welsh Rarebit with poached egg, bacon and side salad, it was delicious and very reasonable, with quick and friendly service. Having seen the array of cakes on offer, we came back to sample those the next day. Alongside a delicious hot chocolate, the cakes were gorgeous too, dog friendly too, I’m sure we’ll be back for a visit again before we leave, thank you.

Mussels are to die for and it is their speciality I recommend this restaurant for anyone craving some very good mussels/ seafood and food in general

Went here with the wife, as it was very close to where we were staying. We both had the Welsh burgers. For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding and the wife had the cheese board. We were both served by Jess, who was really helpful and super friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was lovely, the food itself was freshly cooked and very tasty. If I lived here I would certainly return.

Wonderful service as always! We absolutely love coming to Dylan’s whenever we visit Llandudno! Thanks again to Grace and Paige for their lovely hospitality and quick service!😄

The linguine was too soft and lacked the al dente texture I was expecting, with the flavor also being too light and not meeting my expectations. The soup was good, but the salmon cubes didn’t seem as fresh as I’d hoped. However, the ice cream was brilliant! The lemon and blueberry flavors were incredibly refreshing, and the vanilla ice cream wasn’t overly sweet, making it really enjoyable. Regarding the tiramisu, it truly stood out compared to the usual versions. Typically, after a few bites of tiramisu, the sweetness becomes overwhelming, making it hard to finish. However, this one was exceptionally smooth, with the sweetness perfectly balanced. I suspect they might have reduced the sugar in the recipe compared to traditional versions. This adjustment, combined with its silky texture, made it much easier to enjoy without feeling too rich or heavy. Although the flavors of the coffee liqueur and chocolate powder weren’t as pronounced, this actually worked in its favor. The subtlety allowed the dessert to shine without being overpowering, making it a delightful treat that didn’t overwhelm the palate. The careful balance of sweetness and smooth texture made it far more enjoyable than the overly sweet, dense tiramisus typically found elsewhere.

Beautiful setting and the food was delicious but given the upmarket nature it was disappointing to see just the usual wines by the glass, would have been nice to have a wider choice given the quality of the food

Expensive for what it is. A simple meal with no trimmings is £25 and you don't get much. For a two course meal with sides you're looking at £50 without drinks Added to this a pint of local beer is nearly £8 and it's really nothing special and a low ABV Our meals came out at different times and although the staff were friendly enough there seemed a lack of coordination our urgency Left feeling disappointing, out of pocket and still hungry Edit: Oh, and they let DOGS into the restaurant which was actually pretty disgusting

When we arrived at our hotel in Llandudno, we asked for recommendations for a fish restaurant. We were told Dylan's was the best place. We booked a table. First impressions were favourable. My food was good. My wife's was very disappointing. She ordered a crusted Hake fillet with roasted new potatoes. The potatoes weren't fully cooked. She complained. They said they would bring her new ones. We had both finished our meals by the time her potatoes came back.

Lovely calamari to start..then a tasty seafood linguini for main.

Fabulous food and service. However this was spoiled a bit by a noisy dog.Also, we sat by a window which seemed to attract little black flies which were a bit of a nuisance. I had to cover my wine with a serviette.Most expensive wine I’ve ever had at £12:95 a glass

Food was expensive for what it was. Not the worst but certainly not the best. Service was great and had a friendly atmosphere. Feeling a little disappointed, hearing good things, but sadly didn't deliver.

We visited here as a large group where we had pre-ordered our meals in advance to assist their chefs. Unfortunately this venue missed the mark on quite a few areas. Positives: Nice location Nice looking building Staff were trying to be helpful where possible Negatives Completely forgot to bring out 2 meals until we reminded them Very expensive for basic foods. Think Wether spoons food at high prices. A burger without cheese costing over £20 a person which is literally served a burger and chips. (No side salad and cheese is an additional extra) Very expensive for drinks. Pint of lager was £7.25 and 3 glasses of wine was over £31! Burgers were dry, pizzas were almost impossible to cut, pork was tasteless. Overall my view on this place is that it is in prime location to get tourists through the door with the location and lavish looking restaurant. However from this point onwards things are progressively worse with very basic foods for a completely ludicrous price. Atmosphere is also a bit flat and they also accept dogs into the establishment which may put others off. Would not recommend and likely not to again

Had a great family meal here, food was good, service was great (thanks to our server Jess- super attentive and friendly!!) and we left happy for a nice stroll along the pier. Will definitely view your other establishments. If I’m honest, it was a bit expensive but is fine for a special occasion.

Lovely restaurant and food, served by Jess who was very friendly, all other servers were great too, would definitely recommend

Great place, restaurant looks stylish but food is absolutely stunning, well , portions are not for big man, so make sure you order 3course 😉

Great atmosphere, good burgers and chips. They seemed low staff but we still received great service!

A little too much sand in the mussels and the chicken was also a bit dry. Good service

Lovely food & great service in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant in a great location, with views of the bay. Food was excellent, and service fantastic. Highly recommend.

quite place and food was great.

Nice enough place but it is overpriced. The desert was the highlight of the meal. Beer at £7.25 a pint too...come on.

I can recommend the Menai mussels

Lovely place with an excellent food. Have the calzone (with gravy, yes with gravy) absolutely awesome and cheesecake to finish was toooo good.

Bad Food Terrible Service and music is bad wound‘t recoment it

Food was delicious but overall the service was a little lacklustre, very slow and simple things missing like being served coffee with sugar but no spoon. Toilets are also a little run down for quite a high calibre establishment.

Met by manager Shaun ..fitted us in with two dogs no reservation ..the building draws you in and doesn't disappoint wouldn't be out of place in London's Mayfair ...the food was first class ..the starter was as good as a main and you could taste the locally sourced fish and produce ...rounded off with superb service behind the bar and of course our great waitress Molly who looked after us ..

Great meal to celebrate our anniversary last night. Wonderful food and service and an excellent venue. Thanks!

Very well-decorated restaurant. Staff members were friendly and nice. Food and drink were generally tasty, but the steak was a bit overrated. Overall it was a great time to have dinner with my family there.

The best take away pizza! I had a sweet onion and goats cheese that was really delicious. The rest of the family loved theirs. Ate them on the beach, perfect summer lunch.

Thought we'd try this place as it was a top rated place. The food was ok, Gambas pil pil lacked flavour and authenticity. The Seafood linguine was alright 👍. Overall summary, I'd say it's okay to visit but I probably wouldn't try it again.

Overall average experience. Service was quite below par, me and my party were all in agreeance that everything seemed to be very slow and lacking. With the mains taking a while to come out as well as drinks being offered at the wrong time (really early on and then never again throughout the night). The food was okay but left some of my party quite unhappy with portion sizes being smaller than anticipated for their cost. I have been on a previous occasion a couple years back and felt the food tasted really good, but on this visit it felt like they were very short of the mark and leaving a lot to be desired. The pricing for the service and food felt a bit out of touch, but if these things improved then I can see it being reasonable as it has lots of potential with local produce and drinks being served and a decent atmosphere.

Friendly service. Delicious food.

We came to Dylan's in April this year. Disappointing experience at Dylan's and not up to usual standards. My son and I sat at a table (we had booked) and it was dirty and sticky. I never complain about anything but spoke to the server about it. I was told "well you can move to another table." No apologies. The service was extremely slow although the restaurant wasn't busy. The food was okay but the whole experience was a little disappointing and we've been many times.

Lovely restaurant with a friendly, helpful team. Excellent decor and a good menu choices- can recommend the Dirty Pig pork dish. We have eaten at Dylans Menai Bridge quite a it so wanted to try the Llandudno restaurant too.

Lovely setting, service was slow but polite, however the food was very poor considering the prices. You do not get what you pay for. There are many far better places to eat in Llandudno, try them all before eating or drinking here. The drinks are exceptionally expensive too. Will not be returning.

the place is gorgeous! very beautiful! however the food is quite high end at the price range for mid food. firstly, the seafood linguine is very disappointing and had little to no taste. the burger was also dry. second, they charged us alittle more extra because they got our order wrong. make sure you check before you pay! overall, i would recommend the tacos! very tasty.

Very pleasant and attentive waitress. Food was well presented and of a generous portion.

I ordered the Thai green curry from the specials menu, which turned out to be a piece of grilled chicken placed on top of some average rice and some green beans and mange tout in a curry sauce. Not what you'd expect a Thai green curry to be! The sauce was tasty but it was more Wetherspoons standard than restaurant standard, especially for the price.

We went for dinner on the recommendation of a friend and we weren't dissapointed. The seafood chowder was divine and the pizza my partner had was fresh and delicious. Service was great and the ambiance was great. A lovely sea view from our table was an added bonus

Don't know what all the hype is glorified cafe. Food is below average and expensive,maybe 35 tables 4of them occupied and upon arrival the guy asks have you booked,I'll see what I can for you,

was there for a wedding so used the function rooms upstairs,

Just had a pre show meal at this restaurant. Location and interior were lovely, but the menu, both food and drink were a bit of a shock. Very expensive so we chose a beef and chicken burger and thought oh well this will be special. I am sorry to say that special it certainly was not. The chicken was dry and tasteless as was the beef. We opted for water after seeing the wine list and when it came time to pay it was card only with the waiter instructing us on how to use the card machine and add a tip, which we felt pressurised to do. I'm sorry to say that I have had better value for money in weatherspoons

Well worth a visit. Good choice of food. The staff are really friendly.

We had to leave as they were taking cash only. CASH ONLY in a fancy restaurant.

This place went from an unknown to an instant favorite. Their food, service and hours are excellent!

Underwhelmed with food and atmosphere. If you’re hungry go for pizza or chicken in a basket or Dirty Pig. Spring menu on line is £19.95 for hake. New menu in restaurant is £23.95. Hake is beautifully cooked and tasty but sits on 3 small new potatoes and a desert spoon of leeks. Large room was empty apart from us Monday lunchtime. Disliked the music. Staff are lovely and professional. They allowed the dog in and gave him water. But…. Eating out is about 1) Enough good food 2) Enjoyable atmosphere. Llandudno Buildings and location are great but we were v disappointed with both 1 and 2 and won’t be returning. The current menu needs simplifying to reduce costs and give satisfying portions of enough delicious food. Keep it simple.

The biggest positive I can give Dylan's is that it had a superb interior up until we sat down to metal top tables. On a Sunday night the service was slow they seemed to have just 1 or 2 serving staff, with kitchen hands actually bringing out the food themselves. When we asked for water for a table of 8 only 2 tumblers came out. The food was an unexpected journey of horror when we served a single nacho in their crab nachos, the bizarre of Calzone with Pork, turkey, ham, a mustard mayo sauce and most bizarrely pickles. It wasn't bad but they would do well to stick to simple stuff done well instead of serving food inspired on three continents.

Had food poison on the same night after ate tommyhawk

Lovely meal for party of 6 adults & one young child to celebrate a birthday. Staff friendly, accommodating & went above & beyond to make the event special for us. All starters, mains & drinks were served in a timely manner. Food wonderful - enjoyed by all, clean plates all round!. Thank you to the team!

Chalk and cheese experience regarding service between this outlet and the Conwy restaurant. We arrived just after 3pm after driving specifically down for lunch and having to struggle looking for parking on the promenade. The internet clearly stated that the restaurant was open for business. Upon arriving, informed by the cocky manager that they are not taking guests cos they are short of staff and staff are taking a break. After raising complaint that internet said they were open, he discounted my compliant in a rude manner. Had to ask for the senior manager to raise compliant. Still no action. Left hungry and very annoyed. Recommend to owners to either be open or closed and not half closed. Also to better staff the outlets. And to put staff through guest service training. Real shame cos the food is good.

Nice modern place at the promenade. The Mussels and Fish soup were excelent. Service was oke, staff seemed not to communicate well (my straight Wiskey came on the rocks, drinks were forgotten etc)

Went here for my wife's birthday last month, we were both looking forward to it as we'd heard how good the place was. We came away feeling quite disappointed, there was nothing wrong with the place, it just wasn't as good as we'd hoped. The food was ok, nothing to sort about but passable, the staff were great though and the interior decor was pleasant. Service was quick and efficient and the process weren't too terrible, though a bit on the high side. That being said, the portions were a good size. My wife and I won't be returning. If you're in Llandudno and want great seafood, try the Seahorse instead, it's much better.

Good food and drink choice served by ciurteous and helpful staff

A place ideally located by the sea. Delicious dishes. Remarkable service. A very nice address

Quite expensive and to many dogs barking.

Extensive gluten-free options, good quality, reasonably priced for Llandudno sea front. On street parking, card only payment,BE WARNED. Staff were pleasant.

Brilliant food, staff was very friendly and the view is amazing (sea).

Enjoyed our meal with you thanks. Notably friendly & attentive service. Dog was allowed under a regular table, as opposed to the Criccieth branch where they were all put together, which wasn't a great policy (last year) Draught beer's getting rather pricey, so only one drink with our meal. We were planning to go to the Conwy branch, given we were staying there, but my email wasn't replied to, so we went back to Johnny Dough's for a second meal.

First and foremost, the pricing for the food you get is atrocious. Overly priced food and drinks. Over £3 for a Diet Coke…the waiter we had was rude, our food came out all at different times and by the time the last person got our food, the first person was almost finished eating. The ambience was nice but it seemed the prices were jacked up just because of where it’s located and the view of the ocean. For the price of the food, you’d expect to atleast have something bigger then a small burger and 5 chunky chips…My family and I will not be returning to Dylan’s, the service and quality left a very bad taste in our mouths…literally.

Big Dylans fan ( usually at Criccieth) first time here in Llandudno and very impressed. Getting quite expensive now though so we don't come as often as we used to.

The food was delicious, the service was terrible. We had to work to get our servers attention, multiple times when the restaurant was not at all busy ( maybe 4 tables, and 3 servers were working).

Excellent service from all staff and lovely food...

Food was really nice and worth the money. Service was a little slow to my liking. Had to wait about 20mins in-between having my starter and my main.

Try the chowder, it's brilliant.

We went on Saturday night for a meal and I must say it was amazing. All the food was beautiful but the Sticky toffee pudding was to die for I've never tasted anything like it. The staff are very friendly and helpful nothing was to much trouble. Thank you.

Disappointing . No cask ale on offer

We ate here on Tuesday and on Wednesday, prompted by an email from the restaurant I gave them a good review. However on Thursday it emerged that some friends, knowing that we were going for a birthday meal there, had contacted the restaurant and bought a special bottle of wine for us. This was the first we knew of it. We never received the bottle, nor was there any subsequent mention or apology and it took an effort by our friends to get reimbursement and any sort of apology to them. Decidedly unimpressive customer service to say the least.

Lovely food, fresh seafood and nice open restaurant. Great for families

Food was great and all the staff were fab, we did experience a bit of a wait on entry and also prior to ordering which was seemingly down to understaffing, the two staff who were on front of house were lovely and kept very busy!

It is quite overrated and not worthy of the money. The place looks nice but that’s all. The burger was just ok, good meat but the bread was not very fresh and it was cold. The calamari was good. The service was incredibly slow even though there are only a few tables. It took more than two hours to get a burger and go.

Overpriced drinks and careless staff made for a poor experience at Dylan's in Llandudno. Drinks arrived tepid and lacklustre and some staff were quite unfriendly or seemed frustrated to be serving. Wouldn't recommend on that basis.

Great menu, something for everyone and some unusual options too. Supports quality local suppliers. Four of us enjoyed seafood chowder (superb), tacos and seafood pasta. We were also tempted by the delicious desserts, a sharing trio and fabulous tiramusu. Friendly and helpful staff. Atmospheric venue overlooking North Bay, the sea was like a millpond last night! As always, we will be back!

Good food, good staff and good surroundings!

Terrible service at Dylan’s We have been many times to the one in Anglesey and so good We waited over an hour for food that was rubbish I had to ask for cutlery and sauces No staff to ask The toilets were dirty No atmosphere Paid over £100 for lunch that would have got better good and service from McDonald’s! Awful! In response to your reply The restaurant was dead so being busy is an excuse! There was hardly any one in there one of the first things we noticed The fact I had to get up to find a never of staff to ask for cutlery and sauces in what is supposed to be a top restaurant is shocking No staff to be seen on the floor The whole place needs re vamping I’d of asked for my money back but probably would of been waiting an hour for that couldn’t wait to get out of there Deffo won’t be coming back or recommending

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere, the staff on shift Sunday were absolutely brilliant, from the hello at the door right to the end of the celebration!! Will be back

Food was really nice. Service was terrible, had to wait 30 mins for drinks, there were 10 of us and the drinks came out in 3 separate services (a long wait between each service) Asked for 2 childs menu to come out and omly 1 did, had to ask twice for second child meal. Wouldn't recommend because of customer service, if you want good service and food, however food was good, service needs to ip its game
