We called in on a Saturday afternoon to thank the staff for taking care of my 80 year old mum who fell badly whilst crossing Wellfield Road after leaving the bistro and was badly shaken. So caring - they stayed with her for over an hour. They have a lovely brunch menu so we enjoyed a brioche roll with bacon and sausage accompanied by delicious coffee. Very tasty and the staff are super!

Rude beyond belief. Obnoxious. 2 ladies shoved in the back corner. Asked to change tables. Told tables weren’t available despite many tables being free. Very discriminatory … age is obviously an issue despite affluence!!

Came here today for lunch with my dad. We had tapas which consisted of chicken and chorizo, calamari, garlic prawns, spicy wings, breaded cheese and bread and oil. Thoroughly enjoyed every since bit, and nether of us are easily pleased. I’m surprised by some of these bad reviews, the food was superb quality, hot, reasonably priced, a lovely vibe and the waiter, a young lad was so pleasant and well mannered. Thank you, will be back soon!

Despite living just around the corner, we've never been here before. Currently they have a small plate/tapas menu with lots of choice, and table service. The food was excellent. Chorizo, honey glazed sausages, caprese, prawn tempura, spring rolls, bbq chicken. All really tasty and decent portions. Good spacing between tables, staff wearing masks and we felt safe and comfortable. Would happily go here again

My wife and I went to Cameo last week as it was our Anniversary. The staff behind the bar and in the restaurant were brilliant - We hadn’t booked a table, as we didn’t plan on going out for dinner, but they told us one would probably free up soon. We sat in the bar area had some wonderful cocktails and after what seemed to be a short wait we were taken to our table in the restaurant. That food was great, the wine was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Would highly recommend. I think my wife and I found our new local. Thanks again for a wonderful evening Cameo.

Went here to celebrate my husbands birthday, thought I would take him for breakfast before we headed into town. Ordered 2 eggs Benedict’s, tea and coffee, unfortunately I was disappointed in the taste of the food. The presentation was good but I think as a recommendation to have Palmer ham than cut ham underneath the eggs would be better. I did advise the waitress that the hollandaise sauce was very vinegary which she agreed and did take the drinks off the bill which was nice of her.

I was at the establishment having a hospitality dinner booked for 11.30 before we moved onto the wales rugby game later in the day. There was 16 of us in total, a soup starter came out cold, a steak was the wrong type & cook type and there was no time left for dessert as we had to get to the stadium, we were told we could return for our desserts and could return to the upstairs seating area. However when we returned after the match upstairs area was closed and were directed back downstairs to the restaurant area where the leader of our group was dealt with in what I can only describe as appalling customer service! When we tried to explain our situation to a ‘manager’ she accused our group leader as aggressive and had no interest in dealing with our concerns or requests!! And to top it off the so called ‘owner’ decided to intervene and stand nose to nose with our group leader and repeatedly say goodbye. Appalling & embrassing service considering we spent a lot of money there and walked back in the rain to the establishment. Management team need to take a long hard look at how they treat there customers!!!!

After 10 minutes I had to ask for one of the many waitresses to take our order. Starters appeared 30 minutes later. They were acceptable in terms of food quality etc. It took 10 minutes to eat these dishes. 40 minutes after this our main courses appeared - luke warm at best. This was after I had to ask a waitress where our food was!

Visited here for a friends hen party as she wanted somewhere near her parents so her mum didn't have far to travel. Staff uninterested, wanted to speak to someone about some of our food being luke warm as if it had been sat around waiting to be served the chef was rude and dismissive. We put it down to maybe an off day but now seeing the news we've realised that this is the culture of the place and we were lucky to just walk away. Google Molly Phillips and this club. We won't be going again and we are going to find somewhere else to hold another hen party for my friend once she's married and back from honeymoon to make up for this one.

We popped into Cameo early evening on a Friday night. As always we received a lovely welcome and after a quick drink in the bar area we were seated at a quiet table for two in the restaurant. We decided to just have a main course, my partner had the pan fried chicken and I went for the Monk fish wrapped in Parma ham on a bed of curried prawn risotto from the specials board. Now the service and food in Cameo is always good however our meals were extraordinarily good, both meals were spiced to perfection and the monk fish and curried prawn was an absolute culinary delight. Thank you to the chef and all the staff for making a quiet night out into a perfect evening...

As we walked in we were not sure where to go as the bar ares was very busy but the waitress immediately became up to us and welcomed us taking us through part the bar to the restaurant area. She was lovely - explaining the menu and quickly getting us drinks. We had the Chicken Milanese and the Burger. They happily changed the seasonal veggies to sweet potatoe fries and a tomato salad at no additional charge. The food was presented beautifully and was quite simply delicious. Steve’s burger had onions, peppers, relish and lettuce and his chunky fries perfect. Service was prompt but not rushed and we were in and out in just over an hour. As we left it was as clear this was popular as the bar had filled up and was very lively. We will definitely be coming back here again!

Have eaten here twice in the last month and both times, the food took a while to arrive. However, the sheer choice available, the cheeriness of the staff and a superb vegetarian curry dish have made up for this. The garlic mushrooms are good as is the bacon baguette. The food and service is not as fast as it could be but that fits with the ambience of the place as a relaxed but smart eatery.

Went to the Cameo for supper last night and was, yet again, mildly disappointed. Only had a main course which was one of the vegetarian options. It consisted of a vegan bun, lettuce, tomato and what looked like a store bought/ heated from frozen vegan burger. There was no sauce in the burger but one came on the side (a spicy ketchup), which was essentially ketchup mixed with pepper? As in black pepper from a shaker... It also came with some chips. Could have done better myself. Restaurant wasn't bustling but the food still took about 45 minutes to arrive.

The food was excellent! Every dish was clearly made fresh to order and was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented.

We have been to Cameo before, but never eaten there. It's a nice place with a decent atmosphere, quite small and so quite noisy. Not good when there is a very loud lady talking above everyone several tables away. Lunch menu was limited, the usual...

My partner and I went for a meal here last night and it was one of the best meals out that I have had in a long time. The food was wonderful and the staff were lovely.

Called in on my own for a Full Welsh Breakfast this morning. Very nice place, really nice staff, and the breakfast was first class! Well worth the visit!

Excellent roast beef followed by a selection of cheese (shared) and chocolate cheesecake with mango sorbet. All hit the spot and washed down with a nice bottle of red wine. Friendly service and a great atmosphere made for a lovely leisurely afternoon. Will go again without doubt.

Excellent calamari must be one of their best dishes. Never disappoints. I was really looking forward to the coq au vin as it’s also my ‘signature dish’ so was eager to compare. No comparison !! Instead of using chicken thighs, I was presented with half a chicken which although being generous included the ribs and innards which were not pleasant and so difficult to find the meat. Apart from my moan, all our guests enjoyed their meals and we will return, but not for the coq au vin !!

I recently booked the upstairs lounge for a surprise birthday for my husband. The manager (Antoine) provided excellent service at all stages, and went to a lot of effort to ensure everything was arranged to suit our needs. We selected hot buffet options (plus nibbles on arrival), and the chef went to special trouble to plan some "small" desserts for us (the sizing was actually pretty generous) to go alongside the cake we brought ourselves. The room was perfect for our party (roughly 40 people), allowing for some people to be seated but encouraging informal mingling amongst the guests - particularly useful as we had kids of a range of ages present. The food was superb and very plentiful and they did well to cater for a range of dietary requirements (even at fairly short notice). Our waiter Tom was also excellent, providing great support and service on the night, and allowing us to respond flexibly to guests' needs in terms of timings and arrangements. Highly recommended!

Visited with a group of chums who lunch at various Cardiff restaurants. The staff were friendly, the food, frankly was excellent. The only problem was the decor. I realize the Cameo has gone for a bistro style decor and they want to also attract a cafe trade but the decor is too austere for the quality of food. The origin of the name Bistro is the Russian for faster, a demand for fast food. This is certainly better than fast food.Step up a notch Cameo, perhaps start with table cloths.You could have a winner

Never had food there before and knew from previous visits that the staff were friendly and there is a good vibe at the bar.

Second visit but first time eating. Good atmosphere in the bar but a bit cramped and nowhere to sit, so we decided to sit at our booked table early. I found the seats/tables a bit close together and it was pretty noisy. They did not have the starter I wanted so chose the calamari which was quite pleasant. 3 of our party ordered porcini mushroom ravioli. Looked great when it arrived but the filling was far too strong. I only managed half the plate and my friend had to scrape out the filling. When asked I told the waitress who said she would tell the chef. Heard nothing further. Suppose I could have complained more but didn't have the energy as despite the food we were having a good evening with friends. Would have been good value had the food been good. Will visit again for a drink on our way to eat somewhere else.

I have to say this place continues to grow on me. The chef certainly knows how to cook meat perfectly. Steaks, lamb or the duck special that the wife just had, all cooked perfectly and decent value too.

One of the best Sunday dinners I've had out in a long long time. Plentiful portion, tender meat - ordered the pork and tried the beef and lamb shoulder and all were fantastic. Reasonably priced. Service great too. Thanks very much. Will definitely return.

Firstly a lovely buzzing bar area, very helpful and attentive staff.. But! Iv never managed to have a good main course here, this was my third visit over about 18 months/2 yrs, my starter always nice but each time my mains been So disappointing..on this occasion I chose off the specials menu...when I see the word Venison, I'm sold.. but this was awful.. I'm sorry you can't braise venison.. at least I now know.. and please don't put bisto gravy on food and call it a red wine jus.. literally. Very poor effort, my husbands steak was delicious however and our wine gross, we gave it to the table next to us. This was the first and very rare night out after having a young baby and it was cut short with naff food. I'll come back but for drinks only and the fact that the staff are so smiley and helpful.

In for lunch, had a steak baguette with chips (proper chips from potatoes, not fries from powder) which was really good and at £10.99 pretty good value. However drinks were priced including 50p for a squirt of soda and £1 for a dash of lime cordial. Staff were really nice and helpful, so overall 4 stars deserved!!

Three of us Visited Cameo in the evening of Tuesday 1st AugustAs normal the ambience of Cameo is really good and the service was good, however I feel that there are a few things that need improvingThe menu has stayed virtually the same for a while now. Also both steak choices on the menu were not available which limited the choice furtherThe "specials" menu was just two items one of which was a beef baguette. Not really an evening meal optionThe prices are quite high for what you actually get. We had two burgers and chips and a fish and chips. All together with a few drinks and a bottle of wine came to £80, quite expensive for what we hadAlso the fish has definitely shrunk in size over the monthsIn order for us to return, I feel that they have to improve as there is a lot of competition offering similar

As chains go, Costa Coffee isn't too bad (great choc brownies!) but they need hot chocolate-making lessons at this particular branch. My drink was pathetically weak and, ironically, not half as nice as the hot chocolate I later bought from one of their Costa Express dispensing machines - in Asda. The only time ever I've ever praised a hot drinks machine. Come on Costa! Make all the drinks properly.

The food was ok, not as good as any other Nando’s that I’ve been to. However there were flies everywhere constantly trying to get into the food or drinks. The second member of staff that we told offered to move us to a table near the door and free desserts, however 2/3 of us had finished our food. Not good enough for a newer Nando’s.

NB: This restaurant is now called Dubai Nights. I do not know whether it is the same ownership/management/staff as Sultan, the previous business's name, but at least the business now has a very good council hygiene rating.
