Just enjoyed a gorgeous Sunday lunch at 1891. Food, ethos and staff were excellent. Good range of food for children and vegetarians. View of the beach is fabulous. Will certainly be returning. Thanks .
It took a bit of time to locate as 1891 is upstairs in the theatre building. On arrival the downstairs of the building was completely deserted with lights turned off, we thought we had gone to the wrong place. Eventually we worked out how to get to the actual restaurant and subsequent first impressions were quite encouraging. The location is decent; on the seafront with ample parking available. The restaurant itself is clean and tidy. The decor is simple and pleasant, if a little uninspiring. Effort has obviously gone in to trying to create a quality dining room. The restaurant was, however, disturbingly quiet for a Saturday night and unfortunately it didn't take too long to work out why.Once we sat down it took a solid 15 minutes before any member of staff came to take a drinks order. This waitress was largely unaware of the available drinks but was at least friendly and tried to be helpful.After a further 15 minutes (and before our drinks actually arrived) our food order was taken. Shortly afterwards (about 40 minutes after sitting down) we received our drinks. The food took considerably longer to arrive. When it did eventually arrive the waitress confused a few of the dishes (mixing up lamb and duck). Subsequently we seemed to be one dish short. When we pointed this out the waitress apologised and said a replacement would be on the way soon. The replacement arrived after everyone else had finished and this diner felt rushed to complete her meal in her own. This mistake in itself is not a deal breaker as I appreciate such mistakes can happen.The food was of overall to the quality of a good pub meal. Nothing stood out as particularly good or poor. Considering this it would seem a little overpriced.The main concern with this restaurant is in relation to how our minor complaints were dealt with. As well as the mix up above we complained that the soft drink someone ordered was completely flat. We were subsequently brought a replacement, still completely flat, diet pepsi. At the end of the meal we were ready for the bill. Unfortunately every single never of staff had vanished from the restaurant floor. We did eventually manage to flag someone down and ask for the bill. No deduction had been made for the delayed meal or flat pepsi. We queried this and the waitress tried to remove the item from our bill. Unfortunately her manager got involved and told that as everyone ate their meal they could not make a deduction. Despite a disagreement we were left no choice but to pay. Payment caused the next issue, as this restaurant has no portable card machine everyone had to get up and pay their share individually at the front desk.We left feeling disappointed as we had such hopes for a nice restaurant in the area.Positives:Food was OK. Clean and tidy.Good to see an attempt at a proper restaurant in RhylNegatives:Soft drinks flatSlow serviceVery poor customer serviceOverpricedFood not as good as would be expectedDisappointing cocktails

We had a great time at 1891 with friends. The staff were attentive and there is a good choice on the menu. We had 3 courses which were all very well made with no complaints. Unfortunately, some of the deserts were unavailable, including our first choice, but we enjoyed what we had.
