About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

This big open space with its easy, informal mood has an open kitchen where Bryn’s team of chefs turn simple, local, seasonal ingredients into extraordinary bistro-style food. Menus are served all day by interesting people who really understand food, and there are no rules, so you can do what you like: tuck into breakfast, graze over small plates at the bar, share a Sunday feast with family, watch the sun go down with friends. Good times with good people, and no distance between you and the beach.

I went to Bryn Williams for my 60th birthday last year with my family, so this year for my 61st I thought I would repeat the experience but by myself. And what a wonderful time I had. The charming manageress showed me to a table with a fantastic view of the bay and a relaxing banquette seat to lean back against and drink in the view. All the waiting staff were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble- sorry I didn’t get any of your names. The food was as delicious as last year- and the baked Alaska is so good I had it both times. I had a mini lamb croquette- I wish more places did small tasting things like that. Many many thanks to everyone for making my birthday lunch so special- and especially to the chef for writing Happy Birthday on my plate- so kind.

Great place for lunch, particularly good for fish with a good choice of starters and mains. Definitely a place for a special meal as prices for 3 courses and wine in the pricey side but well worth a visit. Great views from the picture windows.

One dish was cold and despite it being returned the food itself remained cold. At that point the guest was hungry and just wanted to eat. The plate was not so it seems that it was just places under the grill. Their was a hair in the dessert too for the same diner. Yes a new one was provided but damage was done by then. We asked for water and had to request again as it wasn't brought. We've visited yourselves but unfortunately will not be doing this again and will not be recommending you to anyone
