Service was very good, we were offered a choice of table and served promptly. We enjoyed sitting on the sun terrace, which is enclosed. My husband is coeliac and all staff took extra care to ensure all his food was gluten free. He especially enjoyed his GF dessert (there was a good range of GF options). I liked the piano player in the background. The attention to detail made it a special evening

We were a little disappointed as having Sunday lunch at The Imperial before we booked a table in advance for Sunday lunch today. The table overlooking the promenade was a lovely setting. However we were informed Sunday lunch was not being served and only the normal menu was available. We ordered from this menu and the food was good but we would have booked else where had we been made aware of the changes to the menu.

The service on the terrace was very poor. We arrived at at 12o'clock and we sat at our table. We waited for someone to come and take our order. In the end it was quicker to go into the bar. I placed our order, the food came before our drinks. When our drinks finally came a latte was missing which came 15 minutes later. Food was very good. More staff did come on as we were leaving.

Lovely views from the terrace tables but a little chilly. Staff friendly. Food tasty and reasonably priced. A great place for a pre theatre dinner as only a 5 minute walk to Venue Cymru
