"Absolutely fantastic! Everything about this restaurant was great. It’s an independent eatery with a chef who truly cares about his ingredients, resulting in perfectly balanced meals. The lamb was incredibly tender, and the beef practically fell apart at the mere thought of a knife. The dishes were so flavorful that you won’t mind spending money on them. We loved the smoked haddock and salmon fish cakes; their beautifully crispy exterior revealed a smoky aroma when cut open. The smooth pâté had a delightful flavor, and the tender beef and irresistible lamb were highlights of the meal. Thank you for the attentive yet unobtrusive service. We can’t wait to return and try more delicious dishes!"

"Went there with huge expectations. I had no booking so I had to wait about 45 min for a table, which was totally fine. Restaurant was full when I got there so I hoped for a great meal later on. Service was excellent, very professional and attentive. Atmosphere was relaxed and cosy. I really liked the decor. Food. I really hope that the chef had a bad day and he/she can do better. My food was blunt, boring and not properly cooked/served. Soup had no taste at all and was so hot that I’ve burned my mouth with a first sip. Veggies which were served on side were quite raw specially broccoli. Fish was ok, but like the rest of the seasoning was blunt and boring. Being a French restaurant I was expecting much more from served food. If I will be close, I’ll come again to try something different and see if food improved.

"In Llandudno again for a little break so thought we'd try Romeo out, as we've tried most of the others. Booked in for 5.30pm and told 2 hours to dine which is reasonable. We were shown to a fantastic bay window table with a nice view of the streets, promptly given drinks food menu's by our very efficient server. Drink prices were about what we'd expect in most restaurants and were good, Peroni beer wine for us and San-Peligrino for the kids. Wine was good, not supermarket rubbish as found in most places. Our starters, Bread with olive oil, Balsamic vinegar and Antipasti misto were honestly brilliant! Mains were meat balls, Bistecca Al Gorgonzola, and 2 Margarita pizza's, all of which were very good and served nice and hot. You have a choice of veg potatoes or chips salad with the steak. I wanted chips and veg and had to pay for the veg as a side order. Most places I've dined at offer a choice of potato with either salad or veg. The only fault all night though so minor. Our daughters had pudding, Fudge cake and a massive ice-cream sundae with fresh berries again both very impressive. All in all a fantastic meal with excellent drinks and a brilliant service. I'd recommend booking as the place was full within a hour of us being seated! We will certainly head back when in Llandudno again."

"After attending ABBA Mania at Venue Cymru, we decided to book a table at this restaurant. They kindly stayed open for us, and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, and the food was the best we have had in a Chinese restaurant. It was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The prices were very affordable compared to our usual dining spots. Our meal, including 2 starters, 2 mains, fried rice, and a bottle of wine, cost only £61. We highly recommend giving this place a try! We give it 5 stars for the service and quality."

"As you drive into the car park at Signatures, you may wonder if you’ve made the right choice for dinner. Yes, it’s a restaurant that’s at a “holiday home resort” – and that’s a posh caravan park to you and me. But, fear not, we’d been here before and know that it punches above its weight, making it one of the better restaurants along the coast. The menu is well rooted in “Modern British” food which means it occasionally makes a leap away from the comfort of Northern Europe. As in a starter of king prawns, dressed in a quite pokey satay sauce, served with a crispy noodle salad. It worked. As did a lobster bisque which had the richness of the one you get in jars at Waitrose but enhanced with small bits of lobster. It’s accompanied with a small slice of toast, topped with mayo, crab and prawns. Sirloin steak was accurately cooked as requested but could have done with a bit of seasoning. It came with classic accompaniments – nicely cooked “fat chips”, grilled cherry tomatoes and a field mushroom.. “Trio of lamb” was a good representation of the modern classic of “meat three ways”. A couple of slices of perfectly pink fillet. Some long cooked shoulder. And breast, also long cooked, then pressed, breaded and fried to crisp. That came with “Palouise” potatoes – Google doesn’t find that term but it seemed be a boiled potato topped with buttery gloop (no, I wasn’t a fan). But it’s more than made up for by Savoy cabbage, roasted carrot and a lovely rich sauce. We often pass on dessert but not this time. Two classics on the menu, Firstly sticky toffee pudding – it’s rare to see a menu these days which doesn’t have it on. And, most times, it’s not worth the calories. But, here, it’s a delicious light sponge, pretty much perfect butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream, Homemade “Arctic Roll” and jelly will whisk a generation of Britons back to their childhood. Ice cream surrounded by sponge was fine. The fruit jelly was excellent – really fruity rather than just generic “sweet”. Good coffee to finish."
