The Seahorse Restaurant is lauded for its exceptionally fresh and delicious seafood, with many praising the cozy atmosphere and attentive, family-like service. While most reviews are glowing, a few diners found it to be slightly overpriced or noted occasional slow service.
"Great Service & Amazing Food
We recently revisited The Seahorse on a stay in Llandudno and it was just as good as we remembered from our previous visit (despite undergoing a change of owner)
The Set Menu offers a limited but good range of Dishes from 1-3 Courses at a very reasonable price.
The Service, Music and Atmosphere are all exceptional and this cosy restaurant is perfect for couples and small groups.
We definitely recommend this restaurant and a booking is usually advisable. We will most definitely be returning when we are next in the area."

"My partner & I had the pleasure of dining at this charming, family-run seafood restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The staff, clearly a close-knit family, were incredibly friendly and attentive, which added such a personal touch to the experience.
As for the food – it was simply delicious! The Cod was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavour. The seafood linguine was very tasty. The portions were generous, and you could really tell that everything was made with care and attention to detail. We had the Mussels to share & we couldn’t believe the amount we got! The cozy vibe and amazing food made for a memorable dining experience, and we will definitely be back, Highly recommend for anyone looking for great seafood"
