Well, we have finally got back from 2 weeks in Tenby and although the weather was pretty bad we still had a lovely time with a few days on the beach and general relaxation!
We ate in lots of places so I am intending over the next few days to review most of them.
Ronniz Wine Bar came as a recommendation and we have eaten nice food in here before but unfortunately things were not good this time!
We have since found out the Matt Ronowitz (who has to be the best chef in Tenby!) has sold this business on and is now the chef at the Qube Restaurant which I shall review later. Location wise it is just off the Tudor Square in St Julian Street – a thriving street that leads down to the harbour.
The concept is great – Spanish Tapas with a “6 dishes for £20” which sounded good as a light lunch for us (2 young children included). They also do other food which includes steaks etc but we were after something light as we were going back down the beach bodyboarding (the kids were anyway!).
We chose 6 dishes which included mussels in a creamy parmesan sauce, squid in a tomato sauce, sole goujons, meatballs, beef strips in a chilli sauce and finally prawns wrapped in bacon in a garlic sauce. We also ordered a garlic bread and a portion of fries for safe measure.
Our mouths were watering as the dishes were described deliciously in the menu. Alarm bells should have rung when our bottle of white wine arrived unchilled in a wine holder with a glass already poured and topped up with ice cubes! This is a wine bar with no cold white wine??
Suffice to say the food took a good while (we were the only people in there – it was only 12 o’clock) though I am not sure why as it was clearly reheated, and tasted so. In fact the meatballs were not even reheated through – they were cold in the middle. Overall thoroughly disappointing when I have had good tapas all over the world.
We did not visit again.
