Best Historic Restaurants in Swansea

Great popovers. Great burgers. Haven’t had anything we don’t like. Wonderful server, Ellie. Nice manager, Sam.

My wife and I went for Valentine’s Day, and the experience was excellent. The food was outstanding, and they were very accommodating to her gluten allergy. The service was also great—our server frequently checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning!

Our first time dining at Parkside did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated for Valentine’s Day with roses (even the red linen napkins were folded to look like roses). We sat at the bar and were greeted with a smile. There were specials offered along with the main menu. I had the garlic lemon rotisserie chicken which had loads of flavor with every bite. My boyfriend had the homemade papardelle which was also delicious. Service and food was quick and attentive yet we didn’t feel rushed. A perfect combination for a great dining experience. We will definitely be back.

This was my 3rd time at the George. Food and service never disappoint! Both are exceptional! It’s pricier than other restaurants I typically visit, but it is so worth it! It is super noisy (all three times I have been sat at a 2-person table in the bar area; next time I will request to sit in the dining room area). If you love live music, the bar area is a great place to be, but don’t expect to have both music and conversation; also the locals sitting at the bar area definitely use their outdoor yelling voices to be heard over the music (so if you’re into ease-dropping, this could be your place! lol). In short, the bar is great if you know you’re walking in to a music and conversation room that will limit the amount of conversation you can have at your own table. If you are looking for dinner and conversation, I would not recommend NOT being sat in the bar area.

Had a great meal here! Smelled delicious the moment we stepped in the door. We shared the Invernale salad (greens and beets! mmm!). We both had the Pork Roast meal and it was awesome! Tender, tasty pork and creamy polenta with Swiss Chard for the greens. Friendly waitstaff and a nice environment overall. Short walk to PPAC for a show after dinner.
