    The Potted Lobster was a beautiful restaurant , the food was good but not outstanding . Service was good and the general atmosphere was of a good thriving restaurant. Attention to detail needed on main meals but overall the standard was good .

    Lovely restaurant with a great choice on the menu. I had the Welsh Fillet Tataki and Baked Black Cod. All were superbly cooked and presented. The staff were all super friendly and really attentive. We'll definitely be back.

    This was our first time at The Potted Lobster and it was fabulous! The food was another level, in particular the oysters and octopus, which were the best I have ever eaten. My friend has a nut allergy and so much care was applied by the manager so thank you and we will be back!! It's pretty pricey but you get what you pay for and I would highly recommend visiting for a treat :)

    A enjoyable but underwhelming meal, good service and well prepared food, uninspiring menu with only one special on offer. No compassion to their sister restaurant in Bamburgh which offers a far more superior dining experience.

    We couldn't fault the menu choices and food. We attended as a family of 3 with a 9-year old and all enjoyed what we had. Best place we have eaten at in Abersoch!
