5th View Champagne & Seafood Bar

Catastrophe! A year ago one could get a decent meal here – God knows what they think they have done to it. At lunch time on Sept 4, two thirds of the space was completely abandoned. The ‘Sunday Lunch Menu’ was brief, dated for July and August and mainly snacks, cold plates to share etc. It was a bit like a greasy spoon cocktail bar in Rhyl out of season and, deservedly, empty but not cheap. Friendly service but a terrible waste of an opportunity – avoid.

The nice view and relaxed atmosphere are worth it, but I was disappointed to see they have changed the menu. It is now more of a typical British cafe menu (sausage and mash, fish & chips, etc) and no longer a “Champagne & Seafood Bar”. So the name of the restaurant should reflect this change. It's still a nice place to meet a friend for lunch, but it is misleading to think there will be oysters or lobster or the special seafood dishes that used to be on the menu.
