    I am stunned that I didn't post this review sooner - it actually dates back to before the lockdown…read morebut I checked with a friend and no nothing has changed - it is still great! The restaurant is located on the penthouse levels of a high rise building close to the University of Swansea and perhaps more importantly (very) close to the sea and the beach. The views (so long as the weather is clear) is SPECTACULAR both day and night. Amazing m. So good in fact that we went twice in our 3 day stay. Oh yes the food? Very good, certainly the steaks etc. Service was excellent and the prices very reasonable - what more could you want? Just go - you will not regret it :)

    The Grape & Olive is a restaurant at the top of the Meridian Tower in Swansea, offering panoramic…read moreviews over the city and the marina. What's in the Meridian tower, you might ask? I had no idea...I thought maybe it houses television studios but discovered actually it's just an apartment building. Let's get down to three experience...you take a lift up to the 28th floor- it's a small lift so expect to wait a little bit. When we got to the restaurant we were seated in a booth facing the view- if you can get one of these seats I would highly recommend. Otherwise there are tables and chairs or bar stools if you're looking for just a drink. The restaurant itself is surprisingly informal-jeans and a sweater was just fine. I was expecting something a bit more refined- maybe some nice white tablecloths and good glassware. Instead I found pine tables and clunky cutlery, which made it feel like a cafeteria with an incredible view. The decor is just rather out of date and could do with a refurb. The view is pretty cool as you have the marina directly below- we arrived at about 6pm just before sunset so we got to see it in the daylight and after dark. To start with we ordered two cocktails (there are just 2 on the menu anyway) before perusing the menu. I opted for the scallops with pea purée followed by the lamb rack, while my friend Elle opted for the pigeon salad followed by the fillet steak medium rare. All washed down with a nice glass of red. Scallops were decent although I was quite envious of the pigeon starter! The lamb rack was really delicious but you can't really go wrong with lamb in Wales! Elle said she enjoyed the steak so all in all it was a good meal. To finish we ordered some ice cream and the cheese platter- I'm obsessed with cheese so devoured it!

    I was surprised to find this place and I decided to try the food since I really wanted to try Welsh…read morelamb. I figured a Greek restaurant would have a dish with lamb and use Welsh lamb with Greek ingredients, fortunately this place didn't disappoint. I went in a Tuesday night and this place has loads of people eating dinner so that was a good sign. I ended up having to eat in the second level since the tables on the ground floor were fully occupied. The second floor was decorated well and had a "cozy feel" with a view of the ocean. The menu is extensive and have loads of Greek dishes. I ordered fried halloumi, baked lamb in a Greek gravy with rice pilaf and roasted potatoes. The halloumi was AMAZING! It wasn't overly salty and not too gummy like others I've had. The batter was also nice and crunchy and didn't make the dish oily. The lamb was nice, a bit dry but there's no remedy for it when U cook it in a gravy. Some of the bits that had fat made the meat moist. The sauce was rich in flavour and worked well with the rice and potatoes. It's a good fish for a cold evening. The staff were nice and attentive! They new the menu and what to recommend. I would eat here again if I was in town!

    We ordered our food and it arrived within approx 5 minutes, as it was tapas style I would of…read moreexpected maybe the bread to arrive within this time scale but not 8 different dishes. The standard of food was absolutely appalling and I would highly recommend people avoid this place like the plague. Tip : Do not visit this place
