Phenomenal meal The most gorgeous lobster I’ve ever had! Locally caught from abersoch! This place is a gem and you must try when you’re in abersoch! We were lucky to have glorious sunshine whilst we ate our lunch outside in the sun.

Very pricey.. but we knew that when we walked in, soaked from wandering around looking for a place that was a little different from your usual tiresome 'fancy' burger and pizza place. Family of 5 on holiday really not dressed for the occasion and hadn't booked a table, we were initially told we'd have to wait about 40mins but within minutes we were offered a couple of tables pushed together in a corner of the restaurant next to the store cupboard and the toilets.. either we were an eyesore in our casual clothing and soggy coats or the front of house team were extremely accommodating.. either way we saw it as a positive and appreciated the quick thinking!🤣 Kids loved it (especially the boys with their half lobsters) they like their seafood. We all had a lovely time. The waiting staff were young but well mannered and professional. The only real negative was that nobody really acknowledged us as we left to thank us for dining there or to invite us back. But on the whole very positive.

Too commercial, I had the same sauce with the scallops as the turbot, which gives you the impression the food is being put together rather than crafted. We asked whether the squid was frozen or cooked from fresh and we were told frozen, then they changed the answer to fresh, we weren’t convinced, it certainly didn’t resembled freshly cooked squid. The Spanish wine was good as was the ice cream. Oh we asked for bread which really should be included, and for some reason we could only have the sourdough toasted, maybe that was frozen too!!

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. Potted Lobster started was fantastic but slightly too much dill for me. Whole sole was a very good size, magnificent with samphire, capers and fried anchovies in brown butter. Halibut was a very generous portion, cooked to perfection with great saffron sauce, braised fennel and delicious tiny croquettes. Great presentation, finest ingredients, faultless.

I ordered the scallops to start with a side order of bread and I had the sea bass with the chorizo potato cake. The Scallops was absolutely divine all the flavours marrying up perfectly and that little bit of acidity from the pickled cauliflower was perfect. Main course was tasty and actually quite filling but I wouldn’t say it was absolutely amazing (which for £26 you would expect ) Was lovely homemade bread that came out like little mini loads which was nice. Nice Sav blanc by the glass. You definitely pay a premium here and it is very good and would love to try other dishes another time. Nice outside terrace they have situated on the high street and it is also dog friendly which is a bonus

With crossed fingers we ordered the. Lobster main, the previous evening we had had a very poor meal in a nearby restaurant, but we were not disappointed. The food was really excellent which coupled with comfortable seating and an excellent wine made for a most enjoyable meal. For the same price as the previous nights disaster!

This was our "posh" dinner during a recent short break. First off the 'greet' was first class and this level of enthusiasm and quality of service continued all evening, well done all! The belly pork was excellent, it was so tender I barely needed teeth, the carrots and broccoli on the other hand showed why I did! I like my veg al dente but these had barely seen the inside of a pan! I was genuinely afraid that if I tried to cut my carrots some poor unsuspecting bugger across the room may well have caught a little shrapnel! Roasting them with the meat would make them amazing! The seafood linguine was superb by all accounts as was the creme brulee. The Guinness was in great shape to boot. So overall we had a very pleasant experience here, just the little things that knocked a star off. A- / B+

Overall food was really great. Fresh ingredients, excellent quality food that doesn't need any other fluff to dress it up. The scallop itself was delish but the curry flavoured chickpeas did not go with the it. Grilled octopus on it's own was delicious but again, I didn't enjoy all the other confusion on the plate. A simple salad with a lemony vinegarette would've worked better. Everything else were perfect. Salted Caramel Panna Cotta was unforgettable! Perhaps less is more but we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Will come back for sure.

Lovely restaurant for atmosphere, vibe and service is superb and very friendly. Great cocktails and wine list. It’s a great place to go with friends and relax. Menu sounds great but Food though is hit and miss. I will try different dishes in future but it was poor last time and I get the distinct impression attention to detail is lacking and quality control is lacking. Basics like the fries being rock hard and re-cooked. It was the same last time. I’m so disappointed really because this is Abersoch’s flagship restaurant I believe and the quality of some of the dishes is mediocre. I’m not giving up. I will try something else soon. And I will sing the praises from the roof tops if it’s decent. Foodies beware: it may be good, it may be bad. Staff are fab though. Kitchen needs to pull its socks up.

Lovely place, eaten here before. The young serving staff were all exceptionally professional, polite and friendly. Food was fairly tasty, nothing special and meager portions for the price. Seafood linguine main was like a starter in size which left me disappointed. Vegetarian option Linguine was a similar size, both were lukewarm. For me it's a shame that whilst the Potted Lobster, have so many things right, it's the food that let them down on this occasion.

Amazing time having food and drinks in the outside dining room at the front of the restaurant. I recommend the taco of the day. There is a good cocktail menu and then service was good and a warm welcome. My only real negative point is as ghetto evening went on being outside got colder and there was celling heaters that didn’t do much, due to knowing the weather will go cooler maybe more of a consideration could be made to have standing heaters and stronger celling heaters that omit more heat. On saying this, the food and drink was very nice and I would recommend going if in abersoch.

Cocktails were fab (I had a watermelon Spritz, my husband apple and ginger Spritz) as was the house white (it was Spanish and tasted lovely) We shared starters' - potted lobster and garlic ciabata. I had the seafood linguine and my husband the sea bass. Both superb. Then finished with cheese and biscuits and a coffee. The whole evening was really lovely. Not cheap, but a treat!

It’s a lovely restaurant with great service. The food is generally very nice, but incredibly expensive for what you get. Their cabbage dish is almost £20 and it’s literally just half a cabbage with some sauce. If you get the optional king prawn side, be warned that the prawns are actually quite small and don’t come with their shell on as you would expect. Not enough garlic butter with the lobster and none given on the side. Tiny glass of coke filled with mostly ice about £4. I really have had some lovely meals but the things I have mentioned really need to be addressed.

Amazing food from starters to desserts and the staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. No lobster available on our visit but understandable when caught fresh and high winds prevented fishing, but other menu recommendations were then made by staff. A high end restaurant, and the prices reflect the excellent quality and ample portion sizes of the dishes. Cocktail selection also looked brilliant. Thank you for an excellent meal!

Was told a table was available at 4.30pm. I left the venue and booked online 4 minutes later for £15 to be taken out of my bank and the booking to be cancelled. I then called the restaurant and got told there was a mistake and they were fully booked all evening. 3rd time I’ve visited this venue and the service has truly let the food down.

Lovely restaurant. Food is amazing, cocktails were far too easy to drink. Decor of the restaurant is perfect. Great menu for both meat eaters and veggies. I had the mussles, cooked perfectly, sauce was so tasty and you got a big portion! My only reason for not giving 5 is I felt a bit of a lack of service. The restaurant wasn’t overly busy and we had to ask for everything. Had to ask for a high chair 3 times, had to ask for desert menu etc. But will definitely be visiting again very soon.

i think it is a great place and a fabulous beach like interior with amazing hand drawn sea life upon the walls . Great service and friendly staff. However when met with the menu all i could think about were the outstandingly high prices . £38 pounds for my halibut , i was unpleasantly greeted with a green yellow sauce wich looked radioactive with a chewy , un flavourful slab of fish. not to mention the lack of gnocchi i was promised would be there , 4 pieces . Unfortunately this whole dish wasn’t flavourful at all, i couldn’t even tell what it was meant to taste like as i have never tasted such a thing? maybe i picked the wrong meal as my family seemed to enjoy their meals despite the high price tag on theirs to . I was also told that this restaurant was very posh and very high end however when trying to walk into the main building there were toddlers and babies screaming and crying and one sat in the entrance , in the way . Not to say this was the restaurants fault but my expectations were much grander then what i had.Completely and utterly over priced . When coming outwith my family of 4 for starters and a main meal i looked at the bill of £220! wow. For this price you can go for much nicer places in Absersoch like the cove for example , for better food and presentation very disappointed and unsatisfactory. wont be visiting again

For me, the Potted Lobster was a bit of a 'mixed bag'. I had booked the table for my OH and me a few weeks before our visit as I like my seafood; it seemed like the best place in the area. I booked mid week for dinner and the restaurant was pretty busy, but not full. We were shown to our table and sat in between 2 other couples who had been before and said they loved the food. Things didn't get off to a great start when the waiter said there was no lobster and no short ribs either. Ah well, I was surprised but not too disappointed as there was plenty left to choose from ..... or so I thought. After a chat to our neighbours, we went for the calamari to start followed by the halibut and the monkfish. Having really enjoyed the calamari, we had another visit from the waiter to say the chef didn't like the way the halibut was cooked, so could I choose something else. What? I mean, why not cook me another piece ? Surely you have some more? As an alternative, the poor waiter suggested I could have some monkfish but it would have a curry flavour. I accepted the recommendation but it was ok but not brilliant; the sauce was far too strong and the fish looked a bit 'lost' on the plate. My OH however, had the monfish thai curry which she enjoyed. For dessert I had the creme brulee which again was OK. We couldn't fault the service; it was excellent and the atmosphere was good (apart from a loud couple who seemed to enjoy having a 'face time' call with their deaf granny that everyone could hear).

We had the oysters, padron peppers, calamari, arancini, mussels and the seafood linguine, followed by the chocolate fondant and Irish coffee. Delightful and memory making. This is a must of you visit the area.

Booked a couple of days before we ate, I should imagine it is difficult to secure a reservation in summer. The restaurant is located in the heart of Abersoch, finished beautifully with outdoor seating which we couldn't use due to the season. We were greeted well and shown to our table. Plenty of space, I didn't feel like the restaurant had maximised the number of covers possible which led to a nicer atmosphere. We ordered starters and mains. Whilst there were meat and plant based options available, a really good choice of both, we opted for seafood. All of our dishes were cooked to perfection and presented to the same standard. I opted for the monkfish yellow thai curry, which was described as being medium to hot. However, I found it mild and would have welcomed additional chilli which I am sure would have been accommodated. That is a matter of personal taste though. We were served by two waiting on staff, both of whom gave flawless service. It was also nice to sit close to the kitchen and hear the professional interaction between both areas of the restaurant. This is one of the best restaurants that I have eaten in and I would be pleased to return....so much so that I have made another reservation.

Sis and I decided to choose here for my, aged ;), birthday lunch in the hope we’d be able to select lobster. We’d guessed that the bad weather during the previous few days might kill that idea and we were right. But I hope that the local fishermen were safe and coped ok and it was good to see that ‘fresh’ was paramount to the restaurant. The restaurant was immaculate, seating very comfortable, friendly staff and it was warm on a chilly February day. Our doggy was welcomed, three of them on the next table belonging to a lovely family who were also sharing a birthday. We decided to share scallops plus calamari starters. Very tasty but lacking spoons, so we weren’t able to eat every morsel of bisque. Our fault for not asking :) Mains. Potted mixed fish starter for sisnab, blackened sea bream with smoked mackerel fish cake for me. Huge portion for me to work through, (destroyed my never tasted fear of sea bream), so I shared it with her. We also had a couple of cocktails and a bottle of sparkling water. Bill came to just under £100. Apparently, their menu changes twice a year. Web menu matched that in the restaurant except the restaurant also offered a lunch menu. I’ve only one minor complaint. The menu is confusing and needs more punctuation on several items. For example, ‘the lobster pot’, menu item. Sisnab expected a plate with several distinct items. This should have been sub-described as a potted fish dish. It was similar with other options. Please add a full stop after the main dish listing. If I were rich I’d go daily. Thank you ;)

A friend and I visited the Potted Lobster while in Abersoch for the weekend. Lovely interior and a very warm welcome. We both opted for the arancini to start and beef spare rib for main. Both courses were amazing. The beef, in particular - it melted in the mouth! Service was incredibly friendly throughout.

Had a really lovely evening. Been in a few times for drinks and were looking forward to our first meal. We were not disappointed. The short rib beef was delicious and both the dessert and cheese plates were excellent. Probably the nicest cheese selection I’ve ever had. The only comment I’d make is, we are not really big appetites but, I could’ve eaten a bit more on the main course, or maybe it was just so good i’m being a greedy guts! The service was attentive by a lovely young waitress who was chatty and helpful. (Didn’t get her name but she has gorgeous curly hair) is over our usual price range but I have to say it was worth it. Will be back. Thank you potted lobster.

Lovely interior and very clean. Staff are friendly. The food is very average… my hubby had fish and chips and the fish was fresh but nothing special , our local corner chippy serves up a better fish and chips. I had the potted lobster and it was dry and tasteless , I was really expecting something spectacular. I ordered the plaice and it was lovely… Beautiful restaurant but I think the standards are very average.

Amazing from the moment we walked in till the very end! Here for our anniversary. Dog friendly so we took our pup with us too. The staff were fabulous helped me decide what main to go for as we was stuck between choices (they all looked/sounded good). All staff and visitors stopped to talk to our dog so she was loving it too! Must visit when visiting Abersoch

Absolutely fabulous! We had the best meal out we’ve had in a long time. The lobster was superb and well worth the wait. The scallops starter was also fantastic! Staff were very attentive. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.

The restaurant is conveniently located in the centre of town in a good sized, fresh and airy space which feels well placed in a modern seaside town. We booked a visit for a Sunday lunch time but were informed in advance that the traditional Sunday...

Fabulous food - the sea bass curry was Devine. The staff were all lovely. If I had one v v small request - it would be to turn the lights down a bit (felt like the big light was on;)

We popped in on spec hoping to get a table for lunch and were very happy we could be accommodated. The moules frittes was wonderful and felt like a never ending pot of mussels. The service was great and we'd happily recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to eat

Fantastic service and gorgeous food as always. We visited porthmadog and our first destination was allports chippy. I would like to thank the 3 young gentlemen who served me, they were fantastic and they were very welcoming. The food we had was cooked well, and so tasty. My brother had sausage and chips, and the chips were soft on the inside and lovely and crisp on the outside. Myself, my mother and my other brother had the Southern fried chicken breasts. Our favourite go to food from this great chippy. The chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavourful, with a lovely crispy Southern fried coating on the skin. I will definitely be visiting here again in the near future. Thanks again lads .

We had an evening meal here after the Hurly Burly in September. The meal was lovely for both of us, while the location and the staff were excellent. Recommended, so don't let the few negative reviews put you off.
