Haven't been here in a while. We decided to give it one more chance. Lovely building, not the best made of the views though. Took forever to have a drinks order taken. Starters did arrive reasonable soon after, the mains were a very long time in coming. As for dessert another very long wait for order to be taken and again for arrival. The waitresses were very pleasant but were not aware of cutomer needs. The food was reasonable only. Shall mot visit again.

Really enjoyed the meal; service was good and really quick; and the atmosphere was really good. I think that there should be more vegan options, though!

We come here regularly for good food, warm and friendly staff and a great location. The Fig Tree is one of the best restaurants in South Wales.

A pleasant lunch again. Very busy today and struggled a little from being short staffed. A fine place for a restaurant with a lovely view of the coast.

Great food. Loved the scallops and the allergen menus. Fantastic service. However, the kitchen was very dirty, especially the lights and lamp fixtures throughout the restaurant! Yikes!

Tables closest to the bar, kitchen and door entrance not the most comfortable. Generally attentative staff, food acceptable, albeit several of the main courses ordered surprisingly tasted a little bland.

Have eaten here half a dozen times now, food and service are consistently good, as is the price. Wholeheartedly recommended and if the weather is good be sure to try and get a table outside.

Excellent meal . Service second to none. We went there with my cousins who were visiting from Australia. They were very impressed both with the presentation of the good and the general ambience.

When we arrived they didn't have our reservation. There seems to be teething problems between Quando and the restaurant. Fortunately there was a table available. The food was excellent. Service started well but tapered off so we felt somewhat forgotten but I would still go back but unsure whether I would book through Quando.

Food and service were very good but on arrival they had no record of our reservation that we had made through yourselves (Quandoo). We were lucky to get a meal as the chef was about to go home. Fortunately he was good enough to stay and cook us a meal.

Great restaurant....food is prepared at a high quality level....wine list is great....the dessert platter with various items to select for two was fun. We visit this restaurant often and enjoy the cuisine.

I object to staff clearing up the restaurant when I'm still eating. My fillet steak was cold in the centre and it was recooked rather than replacing it. Not what I would expect from "the best restaurant in Penarth". All in all, very disappointing

Went for Sunday lunch. Great food and really good, friendly service. Catered well for kids with half portions of the standard menu at £11 for 3 courses, which was great value (and they ate everything!). I had the makeral, nut roast and cheese, which was all delicious and they catered well for my low-gluten requirements. Will definitely go back!

Did just what it said on the tin. Lovely friendly staff & good food, what could be better on a sunny but chilly day than sitting in the Fig Tree looking out at Flat Holm and Steep Holm across the Bristol Channel?

Staff were friendly but food was disappointing. Starters very small and not generous portions. Mains of Fish & Chip were very greasy indeed and we could taste the deep fried fat when eating the meal. For these reasons, we chose not to have dessert. I eat out at lots of different restaurants regularly and the Fig Tree is the first one to be disappointing in quite some time. I would not recommend or return to this restaurant.

It goes without saying that the views are beautiful but the food (and service) were equally special. As well as catering to the adults, staff ensured that our grandchildren also had a wonderful time.

A relaxing restaurant with friendly and helpful staff, situated overlooking the channel. Food really enjoyable and freshly cooked with good variety on offer. Definitely returning even though it's a 3 hr round trip!
