Great spot on Penarth seafront for lunch. Good for gluten free options.
Amazing meal and perfect customer service. Definitely worth booking for that special occasion.
Beautiful setting and excellent meal and good service. Enjoyed very much
Food was simply delicious, great setting and lovely staff. Would highly recommend
Okay so we were very happy with the starters, things went wrong with the mains, however to their credit they did refund my wife’s steak price and I had a lovely meal, we both went for a carafe of wine and both remarked on how nice the wine was, so all in all I would say I’d go back again - they made a mistake and refunded accordingly, they also came to the table to explain what had gone wrong, what more can you ask for we all get things wrong occasionally, how you handle it is what matters and I think they handled it very well, lovely setting
The food, service and atmosphere was 6 star. Thank you Michael and the town in Spain that I was thinking about is Rhonda
Most enjoyable ,hot tasty good food great friendly service .
Great location ,good menu, service a wee bit slow. Staff went out of their way to compensate for tough rib eye steak. Well worth a visit for the location
Lovely well cooked tasty Meals and great Service. The Sunday 3-course set meal option is such good value!
The food and service were fine. However, the staff became edgy after a while as they clearly had another, later booking for the table. Although polite, two members of staff tried to move us out and, to be fair, one agreed that they needed the table. Consequently, we moved to the veranda but noticed that 'our' table was not occupied half an hour later. I lived on the Continent for nearly thirty years and moving people from a booked table is regarded as an insult. Hopefully, you'll take this on board.
Fabulous view food and service. We will be back again.
Another great Sunday lunch. My ice cream dessert order initially forgotten, but corrected once highlighted & very high quality ice-cream
Fantastic food and great staff. Reasonable prices and very enjoyable.
Pleasant environment and ambiance. Welcoming staff. BUT The starters were tiny and hugely overpriced. Constant screaming music. Mains were unimpressive ; any restaurant can make chips and salad. Veggie sausages were bland.. The lamb dish ,while plentiful, was tasteless and fatty,the gravy could hav e been Bisto. The ratatouille lacked punch. Altogether, very disappointing.
Lovely spot in Penarth. Good food and friendly staff. Recommended
Not as good as I remembered. More average pub service and just slightly better food.
As always, simply great, we are always looked after exceptionally well.
Had a table booked for 1pm today. We were given an outside table with views over the sea - great. The quality of the food and the service was fantastic which anyone should expect as a minimum but, nevertheless, always good to report when it happens. And when the bill came we were very pleasantly surprised - we'll be back again soon.
Good food and service but the music choice and noisiness inside the room were not so great
The food was really good and the staff was very friendly. I was glad to find local mussels and the dish was well balanced. I'll come back.
Very enjoyable food followed by a fantastic firework display as we sat at the table.
Always good servic and food. However table location outside had no view of the sea. Just enormous bushes!
As always, the Fig Tree delivered on every level. You cannot beat the location and the balcony tables on a summer evening overlooking the pier is idyllic. But it’s not just the location, the food is gorgeous. Freshly prepared, lovingly cooked and beautifully presented. The highlight for me had to be the strawberry crème brûlée with gorgeous light shortbread biscuit. Thank you for a lovely evening. You are still our favourite restaurant.
Quirky restaurant, great service and food. My steak was cooked to perfection and the chips were excellent!
Great sunday lunch at The Fig Tree yet again. Lovely starter of pork & black pudding terrine with piccalilli. Mains of roast beef with fabulous Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese . All fab.
Not bad at all... Disappointing that the table behind us were offered bread to be going on with and we didn't get offered any but overall good food for the price with marginally over expensive wines
great food reasonably priced. excellent view over the channel - visitors we were entertaining really loved it
We all really enjoyed our food - excellent , and the service was efficient and very pleasant
Very quick to greet us, show us our table with excellent service and equally excellent meal - a big thank you
Wonderful service, we all had steak and they were beautifully cooked as requested and full of flavour
Excellent food in a lovely location with a great view. Service was very good, I would definitely recommend a visit.
Welcomed with a smiling face. Food was hot and tasty.
The service was good and the settling lovely but the quality & taste of food not as good as the last time we visited a couple of years ago.
An enjoyable Sunday lunch with good service and quality food
Food was good view was also good service was good
Great food. Very much enjoyed it all but hate writing reviews
A bit of a mixed bag for us, though other reviews seem to be consistently good. Starter - mackerel was a bit sparse and rhubarb flavour didn’t come through but still pleasant. Our party ordered lamb and belly pork - the meat was beautiful in all cases but what was on the plate didn’t merit the price tag given that no vegetables (only potatoes or salad) were included).
very good food, wine and service overall very good and would recommend.
Great food and nice views but the ambience was disappointing.
Food was fantastic and proper chips! Service was top class
Great food and ambiance however meals come with no veg?
Fantastic as usual great service and food. Well done again.

Great location and atmosphere starter was a bit of a let down-crab floriente!
Excellent food in an attractive setting and very attentive staff
Lovely surroundings, view and great menu. A lovely dining experience.
Didn't take American Express. Main meal was good, starter crawl was ok.
