Waves Bar and Restaurant in Pembrokeshire

Came here last week during half term . The restaurant was near lydstep beach where we staying and thought we would book a meal here. The restaurant was only half full when we arrived at 7pm and we was met by a very pleasant young lady. Unfortunately from sitting down to being offered a drink this took 20. Minutes . The young lady did apologise saying it was only herself and a colleague serving on that particular evening.another 15 minutes later I had to stop the waitress to ask if we could order. The food took 45 minutes and it came lukewarm. To be honest the whole evening was awkward and poor . Real shame because if it was good it would be a goldmine.

Used to eat here often and was great but has been going downhill for some time, won’t be going back. 40 minute wait for food when we were the only people there. Food not worth the wait. Pizza somehow burned and undercooked as well as the base being almost entirely semolina. Kids food awful. £4 for a tiny serving of microwaved peas…absolute joke. Desserts were terrible, microwaved to inedible, my sons cookie sandwich completely burned. Save yourself petrol money and go literally anywhere else. Eat out regularly and can honestly say that was the worst meal I’ve ever had.

The restaurant is in an attractive situation with stunning views of the sea and coast. The staff were very friendly and obliging but overall this was a disappointing experience and we don't plan to return. Pizzas were off the menu supposedly because they'd not had a delivery and for an Italian- themed restaurant, this was very poor. Service was fairly slow. The food was acceptable but very heavy in carbs with little or no salad or vegetables. I don't consider baked beans as a vegetable.The children didn't enjoy their macaroni cheese. Overall this was an underwhelming culinary experience unfortunately.

We waited nearly an hour for our order to be taken,we had reserved a table prior to visit and there were only 6 other tables so not at all busy,we eventually ate nearly 2hours later Food was mediocre and pricey for what it was no fresh fish etc no specials board staff were awful unless you like being referred to as Hey You Guys and string of excuses for not receiving our food and constant shouting in the kitchen as to how much longer for food never will we return

We booked a family meal at the Waves restaurant but after being seated, there was very little interest in taking our order so after calling a member of staff, our food order was taken at around 8:30pm. We noticed that the table behind us had been served their main meal & desert in the time we waited so we called a member of staff again to ask why our order was taking so long but she went off to the kitchen & never returned so after waiting 45 minutes, I asked to speak to the manager who said our order was on its way. After our food was delivered, the staff started to clean the restaurant down as we were by now the only customers left which left us feeling frustrated & when our main meal was finished at 9:45pm, we were asked if we wanted desert as the chef was about to leave! This service was diabolical, over an hour from sitting down to receiving our basic order of steak & chips then to have tables being cleared while we were eating is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before & will most certainly never return.

Always make a point to visit this restaurant for lunch, when in the the area. We have visited Waves at Lydstep a number of times and each visit has been an enjoyable one, with superb food to enjoy and a varied and interesting menu of food and good wine. I look forward to my next visit

Unfortunately the 'Italian Influence' was a concept rather than a reality! The pasta was overcooked & bland, no parmesan cheese available and all Pizzas were off. We were looking forward to a nice meal at the Celtic Haven Luxury resort but were very disappointed. Granted it was their first night open after 6-7 months lockdown closure but the Front of House staff were badly let down by the kitchen who had not made the effort get to right for re-opening!

We stayed in the Celtic Haven cottages on the adjoining site and used the restaurant three times during our stay. We had intended to eat out elsewhere more often however found restaurants in the area very hit and miss (see my other reviews!) So we were glad of the waves restaurant who managed to fit us in when we booked on the day despite them obviously being very popular. Menu was relatively simple with Italian style dishes and English classics but food was good,well presented and they catered to our toddler very well. The staff were lovely and took everything in their stride. We wanted to eat on Wednesday but discovered this is a day they are closed so be sure to check the website! We always booked ahead although usually it was on the same day. There is a carpark with a good playpark next door. The view from the restaurant is across the gold course to the cliffs of Lystep Haven and glimpses of the sea across to the islands. See my photos for menu, inside and food.

We had a party of 6 visit here and I did book ahead. Good food all round and great service by lovely staff. Will definitely return

Booked a table four weeks in advance for myself and my family and to celebrate a family birthday. Was called on the day of our booking by Betty the Operations Manager to be told very rudely and abruptly that our reservation was cancelled. No explanation other than they were “busy”, very rude and contrite with no explanation why it has taken four weeks to decide they were “busy”. Not so busy when they took our booking!!!! Avoid 🤬🤬🤬

Very disappointed. Really let us down. Did not honour contract with us. Did not try to. Food not good.

With far reaching views of Lydstep Haven and Caldey Island, this lovely little restaurant has great possibilities. The chef was eating a huge roll in the kitchen when we walked in to an empty restaurant. Not a great sight, but he was also waiting on us and to be fair, he was quite pleasant. We ordered toasted Brie and bacon ciabatta with hot chocolate and a desert. The sandwich was flattened with barely any cheese and no sight of any relish in it. I was quite pleased we ordered one to share and not two! The desert had no flavour whatsoever and just tasted of whipped cream and sadly, the hot choccie didn’t have enough chocolate. Chefs need to taste their food and have senior members of staff check it too! It’s great to employ youngsters, but their tastes may not be as refined as they could be! Such a shame....please improve!!

We enjoyed a meal at Waves on the first night at Celtic Haven Cottages. We were in a party of nine. The food was very good, Service was good and atmosphere very pleasant.

We had a marvellous lunch at Waves last Friday. We were a party of 9 including my niece who is coeliac. The chef was more than happy to chat with her about the options which were suitable for her and the choice available for her was very good indeed. The menu is excellent with plenty of choice and the lasagne, which was recommended by our parents who are regulars, was indeed exceptional. Coupled with a very good value wine list and absolutely top-notch service, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would have no hesitation in returning. Thoroughly recommended - thank you all very much.

The food here had an Italian flavour but with some classic British dishes. We were a party of 9. We were given a friendly welcome in this spacious airy restaurant. The food was exceptionally good with some unusual dishes. They also do excellent home made pizzas. Potions were large and everything was very tasty. Well worth a visit.

What a find! The Waves restaurant at Celtic Haven certainly lived up to its fantastic reputation as we enjoyed a fabulous valentine’s supper on Saturday night. Fish was our choice for mains... the brill certainly was (brill) and the sea bass was equally nice, especially its delicious sauce. What’s not to love about pudding and we were spoiled for choice. My partner opted for the creme brûlée and I the rum & raisin panna cotta... WOW! It was magnificent! Fabulous 5 star service from Lin & her team... sensational food.. and then a very short walk back to our holiday cottage. Bravo Celtic Haven... we will most definitely be back!

26 of us from Penally Bridge club met at the Waves Restaurant for our annual Christmas lunch.The starters were superb, the Turkey was very poor,it was very fatty with lots of sinews.The veg was served piping hot,shame the sprouts, Swede and carrots and potatoes were all served together in one dish which was not ideal for people who do not like all of them.There was plenty of gravy which was a plus.The salmon,for those who ordered it looked really good,with a very generous serving.The cheesecake was really good.Shame about the Turkey.Staff very friendly ,but had a bit of a job to get to everyone as there was very little room for them to move between the customers.Maybe a little thought in booking so many people at one sitting would help.

Lovely food, staff excellent, views in the day fantastic of Caldey island over the golf course, try the pizza take out

Always had great food here and no different Friday evening, 13.09.19.Lovely three courses , very tasty and well presented . Excellant service from LIN and other staff . The restaurant at Waves is in a fab location overlooking Calder Island . Fully recommended.

Had a great couple of meals from their specials board. Great food served by friendly staff. Good wine selection. Treat yourself to a dessert though they are superb.

We stayed close to the restaurant with another family in a lovely location in Lydstep, Pembrokeshire. The waves restaurant was close by and very convenient for us to go for a meal and seeing some of the positive reviews on tripadvisor we thought we would give it a shot. The restaurant itself is located in the village of Lydstep and is part of the Celtic Haven resort. We booked a table for 7pm and with 3 kids under the age of 7 admittedly we arrived a little late at 715pm. The restaurant wasn’t full but our table wasn’t ready yet so we waited till 740pm to be shown to our table. We did manage to order beforehand though whilst waiting. Our Food finally arrived at 8.10pm, with not a second to spare with 3 hungry children! We ordered 2 pizzas and 2 plates of pasta for the adults. I do like pizzas and have had authentic pizzas from Naples but also do enjoy the occasional pizza from chains like papa johns. The Pizzas we were served weren’t very good at all. I should have stayed in and ordered a delivery from papa johns! The base was thick and we could tell they were cooked from frozen. The pasta dishes were on the specials menu and was supposed to be a linguini with seafood cooked with tarragon and white wine. I had a couple of mouthfuls from my wife’s plate and it was pretty tasteless. I could have cooked better myself to be honest. On the plus side the portions were large I guess but this wasn’t a redeeming quality. We paid up and fed back to the waitress what we thought. Won’t be back again. Hope the restaurant takes on board the feedback and improves especially on food quality.

Food was average. Staff were welcoming and accommodating. Long wait for starters. Convenient if staying in the park.

I took my family here on 17/8 to celebrate my daughters birthday we were not disappointed, wonderful evening we were greeted very warmly meals for everyone were faultless well presented freshly cooked and very tasty especially my sea bass dish was superb my husbands pork dish and childrens pizza and burger dishes were faultless. Staff were warm and friendly as was atmosphere. Also evening was reasonably priced, would recommend 100%we will definitely return..

Came here on Thursday evening with family for my husbands 60th. We had a lovely evening, the food was superb and the staff were amazing. been before and will come back again for any celebrations as we were well looked after really well. Thank you all!

I've been to Waves an number of times over the last few visits to Tenby, and have always been very impressed. I was aware that the previous chef has moved on and hoped that standards were maintained - but I have to say I was quite disappointed in a recent meal.

Visited with family for my birthday and it wasn’t a huge success firstly I must mention the very nice mature waitress who was very good and attentive but the other service was slow despite the restaurant apparently quiet we were not offered dessert had to ask for dessert menu and the only one I wanted was off the menu , why leave it on the tray? We all declined, the meal itself was satisfactory except with an incident with a starter containing a moving extra! In all fairness was not charged and given a complimentary white wine spritzer which really was the very least they could do but it had spoiled my night, have eaten there before and found it very good but the standards appeared to have slipped so waves reading some of your other reviews you need to buck up a bit, it will be interesting to see if this review is replied to as I notice only the favourable reviews have warranted comments

The food in this Italian based restaurant overlooking Lydstep Beach and the golf course is superb. We have eaten here several times and cannot fault it. The staff are helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble, we will return in September. It isn't cheap but then quality never is, you do get what you pay for.

Its clear looking at the recent reviews that this place is in decline. Went this evening and the restaurant was less than half full so was surprised to be waiting an hour and fifteen minutes for anything to arrive. Started with a kids meal served on a red hot plate placed straight in front of a toddler, near miss but we had not even tasted anything at this stage. From three adult meals nothing was worth the wait or the price. 1. Pizza I was tempted to ask if I could look in the kitchen because I'm sure this was an over stacked creation straight from a well known supermarket chain just heated up Nothing like the pictures and definitely not done in a pizza oven or freshly baked. 2. Steak. Not cooked as requested. asked for medium and arrived well cremated. 3. Linguine. totally tasteless. Its a shame really because older reviews seem favourable and the venue is nice. Buyer beware

As we were staying at Celtic Haven, we just had to eat at Waves Restaurant... we have never ever been disappointed in the 12 yrs of visiting. Sunday lunch was incredible... everything was delicious but in particular the vegetables ... would recommend the pork belly but the beef was lovely too... surprised that 2 of us had room for desert but report from my daughter was that the panna cotta was amazing and it must have been as she oredered it again when we returned a few days later for an equally brilliant evening meal ! I had steak which was just perfect ... we cant wait to return when we come back to Celtic Haven for our next escape... THANKYOU ! Highly highly recommend Waves to anyone ! X

Good service fresh food and reasonable prices. We went on a friday night and found it not to be too busy. Best to book though.

We visited here as we were staying close by. We were not disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the pizza, home made and baked in their pizza oven were delicious. Sadly too full to sample the wonderful puddings on offer. Would certainly visit again.

When we arrived, we were greeted with a smile, but it all went down hill from from there.

A lovely place to eat in equally the take away Pizza`s are to die for.the staff are very friendly also.

5 years after we first went to the restaurant we were back in Lydstep and reserved a table - glad we did - food was lovely, service was good shame we hadn’t reserved a table with a view - recommend that you do

A friend and I had a lovely Sunday lunch at this restaurant today. The friendly staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them and the food was great too. The views from the restaurant are spectacular.

I called in here for a coffee and a snack whilst waiting for the bus back to Tenby. Although the restaurant isn't officially dog-friendly, I appreciated the manager using his discretion to allow mine in as it was a little chilly outside. The staff were friendly and attentive, the coffee was excellent, and the bacon & brie panini which I ordered was generous and came with coleslaw and salad. The restaurant itself has a clean, fresh decor - see photo - and the view over Lydstep bay is spectacular. I had a look at the dinner menu which, though perhaps limited in options, tempted me to return for a more substantial meal, Some mealy-mouthed reviewers on this site have complained about the smell of chlorine from the nearby swimming pool. I have to say that there was absolutely no sign of this when I visited

What a lovely restaurant.. staff so friendly and helpful, beautiful Sunday roast.. see you all again very soon...

After an amazing freezing walk it was time for lunch. The two spots we had planned on were both closed. Well it is that time of the year. The only options was this spot and going back to Tenby and trying to find something on the high street. Well a restaurant at a holiday park illicited some unpleasant memories of dried out sausage rolls in the warmer and sour faces. This was the exact opposite and we were very, very glad we popped in to check it out. My 8 year olds rating was delicious and scrumptious. The restaurant is part of a spa complex, beautifully and tastefully decorated with views to forever. The food was tasty, well thought out and hiker portion sizes and although we all drew in a big breath when the plates arrived as we’re all small eater, we did a good job of getting through it. I can’t fault anything. The lasagna was perfectly balanced between cheese, pasta, meat and other goodness. The special steak and ale pie pastry top, was light, fluffy and buttery. The pie meat was tender, rich and perfect amount of gravy. The bowl was cleaned. The side of veg were crisp and fresh, the rough mash went perfectly with the pie. My daughters chicken nuggets were real chicken and we all stole from her plate. We rounded it off with hot choc and really good coffee. All served by a friendly, professional and nothing was too much Julie. The menu is small but with options in each class and one of the better kids menus I’ve seen. Recommended!

Fantastic sea views but unable to cater for coeliac diners despite what is written on their menu and assurances given when booking and during the meal. The pasta was ghastly, the sauce like cheap ketchup........ Our meal of arancini starter and then goats cheese salad was O.K. Our poor friend was very sick afterwards. This is a very dangerous situation and they should not be employing staff who do not understand basic dietary requirements.

We booked a last minute offer at the Celtic Haven which included a 2 course meal here. We were expecting sandwiches and cakes, how wrong we were!

Visited for Sunday lunch. Staff were polite and prompt.

Went back again to waves resteraunt for Sunday Lunch. Absolutely fabulous very kind attentive staff. The meal itself was sooo good. This place is so worth a visit, please make time to go there if your around that part of Wales. It also has spectacular views across to Caldy Island. We have also been for lunch through the week we have never had a bad meal. Just love this place

Great fab fresh cooked yummy food, with a brilliant view and super friendly efficient staff, especially Lin.

They do have a good Sunday lunch. The food was really good but the service was bad. They have paper and crayon for children that never been offered, they take too long to take the order (once you order the lunch came really quick) they never came back to check if the costumer need anything else (like drinks) or offer desert.

We had been staying in Lydstep all week and wanted to eat out with the family before heading home.

We had lunch here as part of our spa package day... And enjoyed being able to sit in our robes!

We have just returned from one of our regular holidays to Tenby and of course we go to Waves for dinner every time. We dined on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was busy but the food was served within a good time frame with no delays. We was pleasantly surprised to have a super singer called Mick Jones performing an acoustic set while we ate. We wouldn’t normally stay til the restaurant closed but it was nice to sit and listen to the music while our food digested.

We have been to Waves serval times, and we have always enjoyed the food, There is always a special on the board, lots to choose from at reasonable cost. Beautiful views

Beautiful Italian food served. We had some delightful live music as we were eating too. Would recommend all the fish dishes. One star marked down as a member of our party had an off lamb steak served but we think it was just a one off as everyone else who ordered the lamb had a great piece. The staff were efficient, friendly and did an excellent job orchestrating our table of 18!

Our three generation family of eleven people came here, not once, but twice. We were very impressed with the menu and the personal service, especially for one who is gluten-free. She has never had such a large and varied choice. Not only was the food excellent but the choice of wines was also very good. Everyone immensely enjoyed their meals, some yummy desserts as well! The children loved running around outside, and the view cannot be beaten. We highly recommend Waves, you won't be disappointed.

Had a delicious meal here with my family this evening!! Plenty of choice and great that the restaurant is vegetarian and gluten free friendly. All the staff were extremely friendly and I would like to give a special mention to our waiter Chris who was very welcoming and chatty and helped my Dad pick out a fab Tenby Harbour beer, so thank you Chris, you made our evening!!

Heerlijk eten,gezellig en super vriendelijke bediening door mister Nageh en zijn personeelsleden,we komen er heel veel

Called in on the off chance. Not a wide variety of options but so saying the food, ambience and service are excellent and its nice to sit and look out over the golf course. Would heartily recommend to anyone in the area, its so relaxed you don't feel rushed or pressured and they are great with children.

We stay locally every year and wanted to branch out to somewhere out with Tenby, with easy parking and good food! This ticked the box big time. We were a party of 3 adults and 1 baby.

A friend and me dined here after a treatment at the spa .... I was blown away by the service and the gluten free options!! It was also amazingly delicious. Usually if I’m out and decide to have a pudding I’m usually restricted to ‘ice cream’ not here!!!! They bought a tray of actual puddings out for us to choose from ( so you can see the pudding and not a photo) ..... I initially though that’s a bit of a tease I won’t be able to eat any but then she pointed out 2 options I could have ‘ chocolate gataux or cheesecake.... she was very apologetic as they usually have a 3rd choice...... I had to choose!!!!!! I havnt had a choice in years . I’m twisting my husbands arm to take me again. Thankyou for making so much effort for allergy /intolerances your amazing!!

Just arrived back from Waves restaurant Lydstep, experiencing the 3 course lunch and could not fault the meal or the location, sitting over looking the surperb sea views what a way to spend a Sunday.

My family are local and we visit this restaurant when we are celebrating. If the manager is reading this we visited for my dads 80th on 5th July and all had the Tuna steaks (delicious) My dad being honest when got the bill (he paid) the bottle of wine had not been charged so pointed it out. Got home and he realised they had charged for a large glass of rose' in error. He has ended up paying for bottle of wine and a large glass. My sister gave quite a large tip. Would be very grateful if you could give our dad the money back. Many thanks Jo Lacy

We had a lovely, relaxed family meal at Waves. It was our first visit and we were very impressed. The restaurant is set within the holiday complex. Parking is at the entrance.

Dropped in last minute as wanted food outside. I’ve been here before but this time felt a little let down. I’d already asked if there was table service on benches outside and told yes. Took ages to take our drink order, the girl had to come back as wasn’t sure if they did the drink my friend asked for. Once drinks arrived took at least 20 mins before food order was taken and we had to ask. We had ordered a second round of drinks but they never came. We ended up paying and going, wasn’t charged for second lot of drinks. It wasn’t too busy, there was staff on terrace but didn’t come to benches. Found it very slow and has put me off a little. There was quite a few staff on.

We had another fab meal at Waves last night. Hubby had a curry which was a nice change on the specials board. I always try to have fish, plaice with mussels was the special. Kids enjoyed pizza and spaghetti bolognaise. The staff are very friendly and great with the kids. We have been a few times to Waves and will continue visiting this restaurant whenever we are in Tenby.

This is our first time here and we have already booked to come back with family next week.

After reading many reviews about Waves we decided to visit for lunch. The first thing to strike us, apart from the lovely ambience was a really friendly welcome, warm and inviting. We were shown to a window table with fabulous views, apart from the murky weather which soon cleared.

We always make time for Waves if we are in Tenby. Beautiful views of the sea, excellent quality food from a good choice on the menu and staff are welcoming and friendly. Well done Chris and Anita for making Waves one of the best restaurants in the area with great atmosphere. We enjoy every evening spent here.

I've eaten at this restaurant many times and it has never failed to deliver delicious food , lunch or evening meals served , extensive wine list , service here is great , warm friendly staff and fantasies views , highly recommended

We attended the Waves restaurant on Saturday 21st April to have some drinks. We were waiting for a lift to collect us from a hen weekend (gone terribly wrong). We could not thank the staff enough for their kind attitude towards us. Unfortunately, a rouge member of the hen party came into the restaurant to cause a fuss. The staff were extremely supportive and couldn’t do enough for us. They ensured that they would man the doors to stop any other members of the party wouldn’t enter before we leave. A big thank you to Chris and Anita! Superstar staff you have working here and you should be extremely proud that they go above and beyond for everyone who attends your restaurant!

Great little Italian themed restaurant with good varied menu. Very good for Pizza and pasta, but also does a good steak. It is connected to a golf course and sports centre with swimming pool but don't let that put you off. Very friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Visited today with friends and family (party of 7). We all had a delicious meal in a warm and welcome environment. The staff are lovely and go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant evening. Will definitely return when we next visit Lydstep.

We visited the waves restaurant on Saturday for my sisters hen party, from start to finish we had excellent service and the food was fabulous- everyone loved the food and as a local who had never been before to this restaurant, I will definitely be returning and recommending to others - thank you

Highly recommend this place fabulous scenery gorgeous food particularly the Sunday Roast. High standards fantastic staff and service. Reasonable prices

Chose this restaurant at the Celtic Haven Hotel and Spa as the food looked great and we like Italian. All...

This is a popular place so it's best to book in advance. Fortunately we landed before service got busy, so we were accommodated with no fuss with an hour's window. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient, and my request for a certain dish was equally received with good grace. That's the way to treat a customer and their flexibility made the whole dining experience absolutely top-notch!

We regularly visit Lydstep for breaks but didn't realise that non-guests of Celtic Haven could dine at Waves.This holiday we have had two lovely evening meals at Waves - very much enjoyed the setting and the food was wonderful.The staff we met are a credit to the restaurant, namely Chris and Anita. Our son has learning disability/Autism and Anita was absolutely wonderfully kind to him. Thank you AnitaWe all recommend and shall definitely return next time we are in Pembrokeshire. Many thanks

Live local ! Out shopping ! Sunny day so decided to stop for lunch on way home ! A mixed meat with a savoury Panna Cotta was superb. Totally different from the norm which made a refreshing change ! Coupled with wine, great service & laughter what else could we wish for .. thanks boi's

Good food well presented not sure about the waitress (Betty) don't think she wanted to be there cheers

A delicious light lunch,before spa treatments.Very proffecional and friendly staff,very clean .It caters for the spa as well as the golfers,but also open to the public.

Visited for a family birthday . The two older ladies were great, seated us, took orders really friendly. The younger staff were pretty awful (?lack of training/ experience). Food was ok but the same sauce seemed to be on everything - the mussels , the fish . I just expected better for the price. If I went again I think I'd rather go for lunch and sit outside with the nice view .

Amazing Sunday lunch & desserts. Highly recommend the honeycomb cheesecake. Lovely views. Definitely be going back

Lovely place. Food was excellent and very nice staff. I had the seafood pasta, best I have tasted. Will definitely go back .

This restaurant had excellent service and food when we visited. A lovely designed restaurant with a superb view outside of the ocean and golf course.

My wife and I visited on Saturday for the second year running, unfortunately the restaurant is only available to us on our hols, and yet again we were not disappointed.You are warmly greeted by Chris who runs through the specials board and that's as good as the main menu itself. I had the moules mariniere to start and the Sirloin steak to follow. Absolutely beautiful, every part of the meal was soooo tasty.I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, you really won't be disappointed a must if you are in the Tenby/ Lydstep area, we will certainly be returning when we next visit the area.

Popped in last minute for Sunday lunch, great friendly service, good food and value. Great views!......

L, Phil Sis and I ate here twice last week and had take out pizza another evening. The restaurant is onsite for where were were staying and so very convenient. Sunday lunch....we'd booked for 2pm and following cooked breakfast in our cottage and a long walk on the headland and beach, we made it into the restaurant. Sis and I had the chicken in a creamy peppercorn sauce. Phil and L had the beef. All meals were very good indeed. The portion sizes were great and the food very well prepared. I especially liked the fresh vegetables which were cooked beautifully and plentiful. On Tuesday night there was some live music so we booked again. This time L and I had the crevette to start which was good. I had a burger that was obviously homemade and was juicy and full of flavour. Phil had the welsh lamb and L had the pasta - chorizo ravioli. On Friday, although they were fully booked, Gemma arranged for us to collect pizza's that we'd pre-ordered. Chris (front of house) was very welcoming while we waited and told us some of the history of the site. The pizza's were very good also.Now to the trifle. Phil Sis and I had these on both occasions when we ate in and when we had take out pizza, Chris/Gemma arranged for us to also have take out trifle. These are made each morning and were the best I can remember ever having....so good we had them three times last week!!!! Lots of sherry, lots of custard and plenty of cream. Brill. I've eaten in a couple of times over the years and reviewed the restaurant on Tripadvisor previously. The food this time was much better and made our holiday. Thanks Waves, thanks Chris and your team.

Visited on a Friday evening with friends.Booked ahead and requested a window seat - I think they have 3 window tables and you do get a glimpse of the sea. We parked outside the restaurant, not a huge car park but during busy times there is further parking down the road with a short walk to the premises.We arrived to a warm, friendly greeting. Gentleman behind the bar was very helpful as was the lady who showed us to our seats. Quite a big, bright, airy room with checked tablecloths, lovely ambience.A varied menu, offering mostly Italian based meals. We all had the soup to start, which was delicious. Then for main, one party member had the steak, another had a chicken dish and two of us had the risotto, which all of us enjoyed. The waitress was extremely helpful and as one of us had a dairy intolerance and the other was gluten free - as you can imagine, we had lots of questions. She liaised with the chef and they were more than happy to adapt the meals to suit our requirements, which was very much appreciated.The meals were very generous and we couldn't manage the desserts on offer. They bring them to the table for you to see - which is a lovely touch. And they all looked so good. We live locally and this was our first visit but it definitely will not be our last. They do special lunch menus as well as takeaways ...... try it - you will not be disappointed.

Good amount of choice, well presented food and wine to suit all age groups.we enjoyed the Italian seafood dishes the most.

We have visited Waves at Lydstep a number of times and each visit has been an enjoyable one, with superb food to enjoy and a varied and interesting menu of Italian fare and good wine. I look forward to my next visit

Excellent food visited at least 5 times Sunday lunch & evening meal over 3 years holidays standard not changed same good food staff very friendly & helpful like visiting family you like from Bethell family from Worcester

Family break in lydstep, looking for Sunday lunch spot , found this lovely restaurant perched on top of hill overlooking lydstep bay , lovely staff very good service, meal was good , maybe a little more vegetables to fill-up , desert very good, give it a try well worth the trip, would we go back, yes sir.

Beautiful location and views, a friendly welcome, ever-changing specials, and great food. Watch out for the dessert tray because your best intentions will go out the window.

An extremely accessible restaurant. There was plenty room to access the tables which had lovely red ginham tablecloths, good quality glassware and cutlery. A slight negative was the paper napkins.The room is airy and tastefully decorated, you can't help but comment that 'This is nice.'As we arrived we were greeted by a very pleasant maitre d'otel who went through the specials board. The food was really tasty and well presented. The chef accomodates food allergies which is very thoughful. This is the rare find. I got to have a dessert here! They amended a dessert to enable me to have it.tThe staff were helpful and accomodating and he service was outstanding.If the weather had been fine we would have had a lovely sea view!Parking is a bit of a trek and you have to access the bathroom facilities in Celtic Haven which, if your in a wheelchair means that you have to leave the restaurant and go in through a separate entrance, if you walking you can walk along a small corridor up one step. Definitely we will go again.

The Italian - inspired menu here provides a wide range to choose from for both lunch and dinner. The food is freshly-cooked and served piping hot, but beware - the portions are gargantuan!

Food was fine, location was great with lovely views. Service was acceptable. Happy to return again in the future.

We received a courteous and personal welcome. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and decor and service for a drinks order was swift and efficient. The menu offered a wide range of lunch dishes and our choices arrived promptly and were most enjoyable. We were asked twice if everything was all right and the staff were very attentive. It was a good choice for a casual and relaxed lunch with my husband and a friend. We noticed families, a ladies' group, a 40th birthday party and several couples, all enjoying this venue. It is attached to a spa, so ladies in towelling robes also made an appearance!
