My partner and I were really disappointed by our experience here. We called in for a bottle of wine as the place looked cosy. The wine was quite expensive but we accepted that. What we didn't like, however, was that a service charge of over £2.00 was automatically applied. We were very unhappy with this because we don't agree with automatic service charges - we will decide when, and if, we pay a tip. And, actually, the service was poor. Our bottle was brought over and 'plonked' on our table with 2 glasses - there was no conversation and the wine wasn't poured for us. We told the server to remove the service charge, from the bill, and we explained our reasons. But, it all felt very uncomfortable and we feel we shouldn't have been put in this situation. There are plenty of other cosy bars in the centre of Cardiff who don't apply an automatic service charge and who we actually choose to tip, so why would we return here or recommend it to anyone?

Usually bar 44 is one of our favourite places to eat, but were so disappointed with the food this time. Went in about 6pm on a Thursday, hardly anyone there, and it felt cold. The food wasn’t great. The mushrooms with chickpeas were dry, and it was difficult to get a knife through them - like rubber. chicken was ok, pork belly lovely, patatas bravas gone down hill, and even the bread wasn’t as good. olives not the same. won’t be going back for a long time.

We popped in for lunch. I have been before and it was good so I took the wife she had never been. The menu looked good but that’s where the positives end. The food was bland and most of it was re-heated so was dry. The red prawns were awful over cooked and woolly. The servers were not very interested. I would not return as there are far better options in cardiff.

I don't often go here to write a less than complimentary review, but here we go, unfortunately this time. My husband and I went to Bar 44 last year; he is a vegetarian. The menu in 44 was limited, but was quite nice, and as it turned out, we had a good meal, with nice wine. This time, a trip to Cardiff a year later we returned. The vegetarian options were tasteless, limited, and really absolutely without flavour or imagination. The only good thing in my experience was the waiter, who was gorgeous. And that's the only positive. You might also need to know that the hike on the wine is, shall we say, significant. Oh! and by the way, a service charge is applied. One of my bugbears. But that's, just me! The Indian restaurant in the Brewery Quarter is fabulous, and cheaper!!

My friend booked this gem on the recommendation of his parents, so we traveled down last week. After a delayed train we made it just in time- what a great experience, so so worth it! The dishes are presented wonderfully and arrive to the table in a staggered fashion which keeps you going for a long time and the cocktails were amazing. A very busy environment but when it tastes like this its not a surprise every table is full! Served by a wonderful man named Chris who provided plenty of laughs to us and the surrounding tables, what an asset to the company, great customer service!! As were the other staff who attended to our needs. Will definitely be back!

This was disappointing from start to finish. We are lovers of all things Spanish, including tapas, and were looking forward to an authentic experience. The food has no sense of authenticity about it sadly. Mass produced, lacking in flavour and delivered to the table in a disinterested manner. The whole experience was as if nobody cared. The only acceptable part of the time there was the beer - try a 1906 or Estrella Galicia. To add insult to injury the prices for the quality of food are outrageous. I understand that a tapa is a small plate but it should be bursting with flavour and not the best part of a tenner. There are other places in town doing it far better.

Service was really nice; they had our order, got to us promptly and delivered the food quickly. Food itself was well presented but the seafood was a bit bland and rubbery in spite of the pleasant dressing, as if it was mass imported (this place has several branches). Tapas in general were quite nice, especially the tortilla. It's well located close to both the bus and train stations, but probably won't go crazy trying to get here again.

Came here to try the specials menu for their 20th anniversary and was nothing short of amazing from a food perspective. We had all 3 tapas on there and also claimed the lunch offer, too and had an additional 3 dishes each (9 dishes between us) - my favourite being the meatballs and lamb. Only reason I haven’t given a 4 star is that even though we had 4.5 dishes, I wasn’t exactly full but I think that was reflected in the slightly discounted prices but that’s just something to note. The other thing is the is the service charge that’s apparently discretionary but is automatically added on. I get it, you’d like to reward your staff for good service but you can never guarantee that’s it’s consistently good enough to add it on automatically. Maybe add the optional button to the card machine and not the receipt? Just feel like it’s a little too far gone for you to ask for it to be taken off. Highly recommend, food was outstanding, fresh, hot and came quickly. The venue itself is great, too.

Very good food, just a couple of issues holding it back from 5*… I'm a fan of this business, following their ventures, having purchased their recently released cookbook and work in the media e.g. one of the owners' BBC Radio Wales interview on 13/1. The 44 Group is a real success story for hospitality in south Wales. We have visited their restaurant in Penarth during Jan 2021 and had a really good experience. We’re still keen to try Asador 44, despite our sub-par experience here. Positives: food - taste, texture and presentation was fab. It was fresh and hot. Portion size was not so great; stingy to say the least. Wine and drinks were great. Prices were very reasonable too. Negatives: we were told the orders needed to be submitted by 21:30 or 22:00 - I can’t remember which. Bear in mind our booking was for 21:00, leaving us with not a great amount of time to decipher what and how much we wanted to eat, blissfully unaware of (lack of) portion sizes. I've worked in a kitchen and I get it; the chefs want to start packing up and cleaning, perhaps prepping for the following day - however we felt hurried to make a call as to how many dishes we ordered, not knowing how many dishes we would need. It was our first visit to Bar 44 Cardiff but we found the portion sizes miserly - at other tapas restaurants, including Bar 44 Penarth last year, we have been more satisfied with the volume of food provided. On Saturday, we went to another establishment for dessert and we're not sweet people in that sense - showing how hungry and unsatisfied we remained after leaving Bar 44. What ended things on a sour note (hence led me to writing this review) was the DISCRETIONARY service charge added at the end of the night and being non-consensually charged this. Either the waitress doesn't understand the definition of discretionary or she ignored it or felt a service charge is obligatory for the customers to pay. The paying members of our group told the waitress their respective due sums to pay (minus the 10% discretionary service charge) yet she still named the price including the added 10% discretionary charge - we felt the service didn't merit the additional 10%, hence we didn’t want to pay it. We are non-confrontational people and didn’t want the drama nor awkwardness of correcting her, well aware she’d like had a busy evening. The fact she either deliberately or accidentally ignored our wish to pay the bill minus the service charge - yet still added it to our final sum total - left a sour taste in the mouth. We like 44 Group but these negative points took away from what was a birthday meal for one member of our group (stipulated in the booking - we were half-expecting some reference or celebration of this). We left unfulfilled and slightly disappointed.

Great restaurant with a wide range of tapas. Something for everyone and a wide range of distinct flavours. Really nice food and great atmosphere. Waiting staff a bit abrupt at times, probably because it was busy.

Went here with friends, great choice of food, with unusual tapas choices. It's a large place so quite noisy, but good atmosphere. The only downside for me was the price of wine, too expensive for house wine.

We booked bar 44 for Sunday lunch during a weekend trip to Cardiff. We ordered the Hereford beef Sunday roast, the meat was great quality and perfectly cooked as well as all the accompaniments. We will definitely be back for tapas when we return to...

I've been in twice - once last Christmas to share a bottle of Cava with a friend, and yesterday for a tapas lunch. Both times the staff were friendly, welcoming, professional and very knowledgeable. Our table, the bar and loos were all very clean, so it was clear that an uncommon level of care is taken here. After my initial shock at the prices in the menu - almost £30 for that bottle of Cava! - and accepted that the final bill would be high, I relaxed into it, and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. We got excellent quality Spanish beer and wine, beautifully served at the perfect temperature, and delicious, authentic tapas in decent-sized portions, followed by a wonderful orange and cinnamon cake for dessert. I was also delighted to be able to order a cortado coffee - rarely on offer in the UK. Fab!

Have visited many times over the years and enjoyed. It's still a beautiful setting with very tasty food. However visited with friends last night and portions were really small - particularly for cheaper tapas such as padron peppers and bread. Service wasn't the best -...
