Finbar's of West Bay

Oh my goodness, your team ACED my brother’s beautiful wedding meal/evening bank holiday Saturday!!!

AMAZING food, fab staff, perfect atmosphere and you even nailed the sunset for them! Thank you all so much for your efforts, they had the most special day - it was all perfect! Special shout out to Lauren who read the room and interacted impeccably!

Kelly was discreetly in full calm control and nothing at all was too much trouble for anyone - every want and need was met, all with a super relaxed atmosphere.

Honestly, every person from our party was overwhelmed with the meal and service, so even guests who’d travelled for the occasion will be heading back to Finbars now!

Thank you, thank you, thank you - can’t recommend you guys enough! xxx

Really lovely restaurant, food was absolutely perfect. There's not many places around here I've been that will serve a steak cooked blue, and it's a really good indicator of how good a place is in terms of hygiene, freshness, and skill if they do. The steak was gorgeous (bavette is my favourite cut) portions were just right. Poached pear was really elegantly spiced - not heavy handed with it as many places tend towards - and refreshing. Overall the seasoning for every dish we had showed a great degree of skill and care; nothing was bland, nothing was unbalanced or over-salted, and honestly I didn't expect it to be so good for the price. It's about middling on cost, I'd say, but the quality is absolutely top.

The service staff were all absolutely lovely too, very patient when we took our time figuring out what we want (we forgot to ask for a corner or side table and find being surrounded a little overwhelming so took a bit to settle ourselves - such is life when you're ND).

Menu is clear and uncluttered, and vegetarian options and gluten free options are clearly marked, tho I didn't focus on what they were once I saw they had my favourite cut of steak.

We took a short flight of stairs from the grass at the top and then a ramp to get in, but I think there is a long long ramp led route along the bay we might have been able to take - all I can definitely say is that the place is AMBULANT disabled accessible, with space in the toilet to prop your stick, though it didn't have an explicitly accessible toilet (not that I saw). The wooden ramp in front of the door was a bit slippy under my stick in the rain, which I think may just be my needing to replace the rubbery bit at the bottom - it's been happening everywhere lately.

The view over the bay is gorgeous too.

Honestly a gem, definitely recommended.

Loved it!

Great food, staff and sea views!

Although fish restaurant They had a few veggie options too. Great kids menu

Very attentive waiter. Shame the bar area was a little bit messy which would be my only negative bit of feedback (kinda ruined the look they were going for - see photos)

Highly recommend a visit though, the food was pretty amazing!

Such good food. Best burger I’ve actually ever had and living in London, I’ve had a lot of burgers. :)
Beautiful setting. We went in winter, so it must be glorious in summer. Last time we visited was before Covid, so I didn’t hold my expectations high….yet the food was just as delicious and the staff were lovely too!

Lovely little restaurant overlooking the bay. We visited on a Friday evening - only outside seating was available when I booked, which was fine and even though it started raining, fortunately we were seated at a table for two along the front, which has a canopy over it, so we were dry and got a great view.

Delightful service, and delicious food. A good range of drinks including for non-alcohol drinkers.

Wow, fresh & delicious food, fab service, and a stunning view. You couldn't really ask for more!

I recently ate lunch here with colleagues and ordered the Club sandwich, which looked fantastic, and you can see by the picture it looks very fresh and of a generous portion size! The fries were so tasty I would maybe say the best I've had. My colleague ordered the salt beef sandwich and commented on how good that was, too.

I was lucky enough for the sun to be shining, although foggy, but the view was absolutely stunning. I definitely want to have dinner whilst the sun sets. It's the perfect location to be honest and would be suitable for date nights, catch ups, special occasions, sunday family lunch, holiday dinners - it really suits all.

The team were super friendly and attentive, too. I need to plan my next visit!

It's always fabulous! Great food, great service, friendly staff and dog friendly. Never had a bad meal, it's always great value and delicious!

Lovely new addition to Westgate. We had the seafood chowder which was delicious and my Dad had the cod which he loved. He also said that the apple pie was the best he'd ever had. The restaurant is lovely, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and quite reasonable. We were even treated to a view of a seal in the water from where we were sitting. Will definitely be back.

Wow can’t thank Finbar’s enough!! We had my hen do meal here and everything about it was stunning. The views, the incredibly lovely and attentive staff, the decorations and the food. Everyone loved their dishes and we had such a great time. Thank you so much to all the staff!

Had an amazing lunch - food was exceptional. Staff were very attentive and friendly. A lovely experience, would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous evening with friends here. The food was delicious with unusual twists and great value. A relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely return very soon.

Delicious food and beautiful setting - we saw one of the best sunsets we've seen in the UK while we were here and the service was great too. Staff were so friendly and even went to the shops to pick up drinks for specific things we wanted which was very sweet of them. Particularly enjoyed the asparagus, black pudding scotch egg, the steak and the risotto

Excellent food and beachfront location. Would definitely recommend. Service was fine throughout our visit with no issues. A side note that the place was closed with no apparent ventilation on a wet day, so it felt a bit like a greenhouse - I could have used an air opening somewhere.

Popped in without a booking. We wanted a location to watch the sun go down on the summer solstice.
Enjoyed the fixed price 3-course menu. Including the catch of the day - Trout. Excellent value. Very friendly and efficient staff. Spectacular location.

Great outdoor dining area with sea view! It’s our first time in restaurant since lockdown lifted. The staff who served us was friendly (and beautiful!), food was delicious with healthy options. Would like to try their breakfast menu one day!

Beautiful meal and great service. Table inside by the window overlooking the sea is a lovely view but very chilly so wrap up warm.

Absolutely lovely and attentive wait staff and delicious big portions of brilliant food. And the view is the best I have ever seen from a restaurant. 100% recommend!!! The ladies that served us were a delight.

We visited on Friday and it was a great experience in every aspect, the food was decent value for the standard on offer; which was excellent.
The service was very good; our waitress was friendly and professional.
The view of sunset was lovely.
They helped me out with a taxi home too which was much appreciated. Would defintely return.

Great food. Great view. Great wine. Great service. Made to feel safe. Friendly and happy staff. So good we are going again tomorrow night.

We came a few weeks ago and had a lovely afternoon with friends, the staff were so genuinely friendly & couldn't do enough to make us welcome. We decided to come again today & eat as it was a birthday of a good friend, we were not disappointed! Fab food, the same great service & they even helped us to hide from the birthday girl & surprise her, dressed the table & made a fuss of her. Your staff are a credit to you and we'll be back again! Thanks so much x
