After walking to the Bay from Llandudno Junction, I paid a visit to Porth Eirias this morning -  had myself some scrambled eggs followed by salt and pepper squid. The food was excellent but one or two teething problems evident. Review on the Daily Post soon.  $good$

Teething problems indeed Tom!
They have put it on a plate slanted at a 90 degree angle... and I bet all the food slid off!  :laugh:

 :laugh:

I went in this afternoon, and just had a beer. They let me sit in the restaurant area - even though it was quite busy.

The kitchen looks pretty cramped. When you think of the amount of wasted space in the building generally (think of the badly-planned corridors, etc, that they padded out the oversized zinc-cladded section with when they realised it wasn't going to house an "observation room")...

My dislike of the building aside, I guess they've done an okay job of putting in a 'bistro', bar and cafe. I'd still get rid of that rather pointless big circular reception desk, and use the space in some way as part of the cafe.

They've really put the Bryn Williams stamp on the building. Such is the power of celebrity, I guess. A council that bends over backwards for you, hands you a £3.9m building to make your own, even funds refitting the kitchen. I hope Bryn is serious about giving something back to the community. How about he gives us free meals for a few months, to pay back all the money we've given him!

I went with a friend for a cofee this afternoon.  Welcomed by Bryn and shown to a table - it was wobbly so we were moved to another!  We had a capuccino each but with no sprinkles! Teething problems I presume.  It was quite busy, the menu looked interesting and we may try again sometime - quite liked the atmosphere  :)

Thanks, Tom - a fair and informative review. You left a £4.10 tip! Is the Daily Post rolling in money?
