"Fine dining not at its best, most definitely promoting itself well above the capability of the front of house staff, the chef and their team, The Plantagenet House is a pretentious, self absorbed low light in the thriving culinary offering of Tenby which is obviously living on past glories and owners. We visited The Plantagenet House on Saturday 10th August to make a dinner booking for Monday 12th August for our wedding anniversary, and should have known that there would be issues as the person taking our booking was sternly advised by another staff member that the diary could only be completed in pencil and not pen, which put her in a panic as she was unable to find one, why, is this a thing? We arrived for our 7:15pm booking time a few minutes early and there was confusion where to seat us as the table allocated had been taken by a walk in, this was quickly sorted and we were seated on table 7, a drinks order was taken and despite the wine glasses being different sizes, presented quiet quickly. No ribeye available so the fillet steak and lobster mains ordered, The Goats cheeses tart was good and the plate removed quickly, so my expectations for the rest of the evening were looking up. More walk-ins came, seated around us, orders placed and there food was on the table before any member of staff came back to us, it was about 45 minutes and no sign of our main meals, so my wife asked a staff member if there was an issue with our order, within minutes et voila, they appeared, and here 's where the disappointing evening peaked, the food had obviously been sat waiting for some time, to be served to us, the lobster was on the hotter side of warm and just enough for my wife, the steak however being cooked to medium, looked as though it hadn 't been anywhere near to a grill, had no heat in it, the chips were cold, the confit obviously retained heat as the steak was on top of it, after 1 mouthful I mentioned it to a staff member who swiftly took it away whilst apologising, expecting a 10/15 minute wait, but no, the same plated fillet steak/chips/confit was back in front of me within 3 minutes and was a steaming plate of microwaved blandness, I called over another staff member, and advised that I was not happy that my fillet steak had been microwaved to get it hot, again more apologies and the offer of selecting another item from the menu or a drink, but I 'd seen and tried enough to sit and wait for anything else, so politely refused the offer. So yes the fillet steak was removed from the bill and the bottle of wine complementary, but with the following comment, don 't give us a bad review because your wine is free , really shows what this place is all about."

Fantastic staff, very attentive. Gluten free options. Lovely music. The 5 of us had a late lunch, everything was utterly superb. Would love to come back but we live 300 miles away

Would definitely recommend this gorgeous restaurant. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The food was amazing, we both had the lunchtime chowder with a chilled glass of wine. Wish we had somewhere like this back home.

An amazing atmospheric and stunning place to eat with excellent friendly staff, open fires and good music. However, the food was very disappointing and did not match the prices; not even a good standard at a home dinner party. I wondered who had made our food as they can't cook! View menu

An unexpected culinary treat. The food was carefully prepared and beautifully presented with generous portions. We both had fish dishes (hake; seafood linguine). Service was friendly and the atmosphere was both comfortable and intriguing in this very old building. We would definitely recommend it and would return should we be in the area again.

We have eaten at this restaurant for many years whenever we visit Tenby. We have always found the food and service excellent. Today was without exception. We had not booked a table but we were lucky enough to get a table (our favourite table in the window). The Sunday lunch was delicious and the service excellent. We look forward to our next visit!

Had the lamb was cold and sent back, meal was replaced and the lamb was mostly fat. Had crème brûlée for dessert, again disappointing as was cold and topping was hard and lumpy. Desert menu was limited. We’ve had many meals over the years at this restaurant and this time was not up to scratch, especially considering the cost of £90+ On the good side the staff were very helpful. View menu

We’ve always enjoyed eating at the Plantaganet, but it’s been a while since we last went. Our meal last night was so good, I felt I should write a review. We had scallops with black pudding and moules marinieres for starters. Absolutely delicious! The GF roll was a bonus (the whole menu can be adapted to be gluten free which is refreshing) For mains we had lamb and pork belly. Both were exceptional. We managed to share a dessert despite feeling very full very tasty chocolate torte. The service as always was lovely and the atmosphere is mellow. It was a special anniversary for us and we couldn’t have had a better evening to celebrate. Best meal we’ve had in a long time.

We’ve been a couple of times before and loved it, though this time we were sadly disappointed. The prices were far higher than previously £15 £20 starters, £23 £35 mains, £8.50 for a bread basket and £9.95 for a side salad) though if the quality was there, we’d be happy to pay sadly, this wasn’t the case. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks, before having to chase those up. Our starters were nice enough, though were left very underwhelmed by our mains a potato and chickpea curry and Monkfish with prawns both were very bland and overcooked. We ordered two scoops of rum and raisin ice cream for dessert for £4.95 this was very small, arriving in a side ramekin rather than a dessert dish or glas...
