Our evening at The Gun Room at Plas Dinas commenced with significant promise. Canapés and pre-dinner drinks served in the exquisite drawing room established a high expectation, which was further enhanced by the refined, attentive, and genuinely excellent service from the team throughout the night. The culinary stars were undoubtedly our main courses: a perfectly prepared John Dory, an excellent quality piece of fish, and the superb Welsh Beef, which was perfectly seared and exquisitely seasoned. Both dishes were truly delightful.
However, the overall experience was slightly diminished by our seating arrangements. We found ourselves in a rather small dining room where tables were positioned a little too closely, meaning the lively chatter from nearby diners became a noticeable distraction. Compounding this, the room felt notably warm, particularly for a summer evening, creating a less than ideal comfort level.
Despite these minor environmental considerations, we genuinely enjoyed the culinary aspects of our meal. Yet, we departed with the clear sense that, with a few adjustments to the dining space, the evening could have been truly exceptional.
