    The place was very quiet and lacked atmosphere..........mainly because it has closed down but you still accepted my booking!!

    We visited Watson's Conwy with friends. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. Watson's had been recommended to me by friends who had visited recently. We were given several restaurants to try, Watson's was by far the best!

    No complaint with the food and service was good; Scallops were amazing, goats cheese was OK. Beef medallions were nice as was the duck. If I’m being picky the chips were under done. 4 stars overall, just expect that little bit extra from a Bistro.

    We were served quickly, and our food came at the right pace. Nice to get the bread and dipping oil at the beginning. We both enjoyed our food and the amount was just right- we could eat it all! My glass of wine was very good too. We'll defintely be back.

    The food was decent, a smidge pricey, but I gather that to be the standard for inner Conwy. Service was quite slow. I found the food to be decent, but had heard comments that the chef has recently changed

    Slightly bizarre place. The friendliest of staff with the tastiest of dishes on the menu. Food is excellent, although there is no vegetarian or vegan option on the main menu. This place could really do with some investment - there is massive potential in the patio area but it has a tacky feel with a vertical fake grass wall, a windmill and some other oddities. It’s also not dog friendly (dogs outside only is not dog friendly). Good wine list at affordable price and didn’t feel ripped off by prices of selection. Summary- We would go back and we would recommend.

    the Bistro was a lucky find on the last day of our break in Conwy, a real gem , food was excellent and couldn't fault the service. My Beef blade was outstanding and Alison's salmon was spot on.

    The service was good, the food depended on what order. My belly pork was not crisp enough, my partners beef needed more veg. The beef stroganoff was very sparse.

    Beautiful meal. We visit regularly and always enjoy the food. I am vegetarian and there is always something nice available for me. Goats cheese balsamic mandarin and strawberries as a starter , home made bread and oil dip, and a beautiful aubergine stuffed with vegetables and ratatouille. It was a lovely meal. We know we will always have great quality food by an amazing chef. Lovely lady in charge. Thank you.

    Greeted and seated straight away but then it seemed we were forgotten and eventually had to ask for a drink after 15 minutes. Food was nicely presented and tasty. After the plates were cleared we seemed to be forgotten again and had to find someone to get the bill. After paying, no change was bought back to us, we were eventually asked if we were OK and did we need a receipt? To which we replied well some change would be good!! It wasn't particularly busy. Disappointing, and wouldn't return 😕

    Even though we were 10 minutes late the staff were really accommodating. We had a table near the patio doors which were opened because we ladies of an age were a bit warm. The other diners near us were sympathetic and chatty and the atmosphere was very cordial and inclusive. Service was attentive but not fussy, the food was lovely and the early bird menu is excellent value. The only downside was I was too full to try the lemon roulade!
