This was for our wedding dinner celebration and everything was absolutely perfect. I cannot fault a thing. Special thanks to our hostess Mel. She is absolutely amazing and made sure everything was perfect and couldn't do enough for us. The customer service from the whole team was exceptional. Your waiters and waitresses are fabulous. The entire experience was perfect and the food was delicious. Thank you so much for making our day so special and huge thanks to Gosia for managing the whole booking process for us. She is a superstar.

Fantastic first visit to Courts today. Service was fast, friendly and impeccable. Lunch menu with the courses for £24 I thought was pretty good value. The arrancini balls starter was absolutely stand out, as were the Manhattan stack dessert... but aside from the goats cheese salad which had far too much dressing, all our party had excellent food. Good selection of vegetarian and vegan options too. The venue is beautiful! Can't believe it's taken me so long to go here. Really recommended!!

I got taken here to celebrate my birthday, and the young waiter saw my family toasting me prior to our meal. The food was delicious and portions just the right size, so we had a 3 course meal. During the neal, the waiter, who was brilliant throughout our visit brought me a complimentary glass of fizz. When the waiter brought my dessert it had a large candle in it and he burst into happy birthday. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit made special not just because of the lovely food but by the professional waiter.

I cannot stress highly enough what a delight Courts is, the food, the ambience and the service are all five star. Also as a married woman and mother in her late 40’s it’s amazing to have somewhere local without travelling to Cardiff to dress up and have a dance on the nights they have a DJ or an event. It’s amazing!!!!

Went for food with a couple of friends since we were coming from different areas. We saw courts and decided to go there. We arrived to a beautiful restaurant inside and out! Ordered drinks and sat at our table. Food was absolutely perfect! The best Sunday roast we’ve ever had in wales. Just a shame about the service. We asked many times for the music to be turned down to no avail. Drinks took forever to come to our table and even then seemed like it was a chore for the waitress. From what we could see there was a lack of managers there or someone to lead from the front as they all just did what they wanted to do. Even seen a few of them start crying. Would definitely go back in the service from them improved

Outstanding food ,good value and nice portion sizes, beautifully cooked and presented well . We had a large party , unfortunately service was lacking . Servers were attentive at the table , but slow to respond with drinks . People were eating starters at all different times due to delivery! I had to leave table twice to find a member of staff to reorder drinks and ask if we could order dessert. Would have preferred our table to be more spread out., not against two walls, This would have alleviated problems serving and collecting dishes !! Would I go back ? Yes. Would I hope for quicker service ? Yes

Hands down the worst meal and service I’ve ever experienced. Understaffed, slow service. Awful, cheap food passed off as ‘fine dining’ We were fond of courts after many enjoyable visits, we’ll never go back again. The company’s liquidation has clearly had a huge impact and this place is now on its last legs. I’ve never been somewhere and refused to pay for the meal before. disgraceful attitude from management when we tried to resolve amicably- we were made to wait around for 90 mins as no one had the authority to deal with the complaints. Avoid at all costs.

We live quite close to the restaurant and we wanted it to be great, but it wasn't. The Camembert was fantastic, but £13 for two scallops without pancetta (supposed to be part of the starter) was disappointing. The worst thing was the fillet steak. On appearance it looked ok, it was pink but it was dry as a bone. We sent it back to the kitchen and they said it was fine. You would think that the customers opinion would be considered, we know what a good steak tastes like. It's quite clear the kitchen didn't care. I hope the management doesn't ignore this review, I cannot express enough how poor the attitude of the kitchen staff was tonight. There was a few group bookings tonight, but the rest of the customers shouldn't suffer with poor food and service.

I visited here for lunch with a friend who was visiting me on a flying visit for a few hours from Australia. I wanted it to be a good eating, nice place, quiet etc for us to catch up etc. This is not far from home and we would normally have eaten in Penarth, but town was very busy, so I decided to drop in here. The whole meal was very good. Food good etc etc. This is not cheap, but on balance probably worth it.

**Review for Courts Restaurant in Cardiff** Courts is undoubtedly the best restaurant in Cardiff, offering an exceptional dining experience that combines outstanding food, impeccable service, and stunning decor. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and welcoming ambiance that sets the tone for a memorable meal. The decor is elegant and thoughtfully designed, creating a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere. Every detail, from the lighting to the furnishings, has been carefully curated to enhance your dining experience. The food at Courts is simply unparalleled. The menu features a diverse selection of dishes, each prepared with the finest ingredients and a creative touch that elevates traditional flavors. Every bite is a testament to the chef’s expertise and passion for culinary excellence. The service is another highlight at Courts. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to ensuring that every guest has an exceptional experience. They strike the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, making you feel right at home. One of the unique features of Courts is the live singers who perform on weekends. Their performances add a special touch to the already vibrant atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a night out. The combination of live music, delicious food, and excellent service makes Courts a must-visit destination for anyone looking to enjoy the best that Cardiff has to offer. Highly recommended!

Visited for the first time this evening with various family members. First, the positives. The decor is really nice with plenty of outside seating. Staff are friendly and the food on the whole was good. The exception to that was the calamari, which was unfortunately very chewy. Now, the not so positive. The majority of us ordered food from the bbq menu, and it was served in takeaway boxes, which we all felt was slightly strange in a restaurant setting. Service was unfortunately awful, and while the staff were very apologetic, it did impact our visit. We spent almost 3 hours in the restaurant, and after we had initially been served, we had to ask for additional drinks and whether we could order dessert. When our second round of drinks arrived, they were wrong and had to be sent back. They then brought us our bill before we had asked for it and before we had finished our drinks. When it arrived there were 8 drinks on it which we had not ordered. We told one of the staff, and it came back with 2 removed but still the additional 6 on it. We had to send it back a third time before it was corrected. If they can sort the service issues, it will be a lovely place, and we will definitely give them a second chance as overall the food was nice, and it could have just been an off day.

Changed a lot since I was last the Barons Court. Food was good, decour was different but that cones down to your taste. One major negative was the chap that served me, he was not rude but far from welcoming and friendly 🤔 Maybe I didn't match the dress code or he just didn't like the look of me 😕 He seemed to treat the people on the next table better 🙄. Unfortunately won't be rushing back 🥺

My husband and I called in here on our way back from an art exhibition. This was our first visit here. We wanted to celebrate our purchase with a glass of bubbly and the attractive exterior enticed us in. There is ample car parking and the beer garden had a cool and vibrant ambience with an outside bar and music piped from the DJ booth. On arrival, we were greeted by the restaurant manager Salvo who was very polite, friendly and professional. He showed us to the bar area where we ordered a bottle of pink champagne. The interior had a very sophisticated vibe with energy although we wanted somewhere a little quieter for a drink. After enquiring where the best place to sit was, Salvo took our drinks and showed us upstairs to the VIP area away from the buzz of the bar. We were so taken by the decor, the friendly and professional service and whole vibe of the place, we ended up ordering a meal to finish off a lovely evening. We were so pleased we did as the food was outstanding (Black cod with rice and artisan vegetables). We could see the venue was popular with a younger crowd but there was definitely a good mix of people of all ages. We wanted a special end to an already successful evening and Courts definitely provided that. We have found our venue for an exciting night out, just on the outskirts of Cardiff! Thank you Courts, we will be back.

Courts is housed in an impressive building, which has been tastefully restored over the years. On the inside, the original fireplace has been maintained, and is apparently used on colder days. Overall, the interior is pleasant and nicely laid out. It would make a nice venue for a wedding, or similar. However, the plants dotted around the restaurant are plastic, which is a shame. The food is priced slightly above average in terms of cost, we spent £180 on three three-course meals, including wine. The star of the show was probably the Camembert starter, which came with a pleasant relish. We asked for a medium rare rib-eye steak, but it came overcooked. This is unforgivable. The steak itself was good quality, just ruined by being overcooked. We did mention this to the waitress at the end of the meal, who said she could have done something if we had mentioned it sooner. I’m not sure what. Perhaps two of us could have finished our meals while another steak was cooked? For the duck main course, the produce was again good quality, pink and quite delicious. The main drawback was the sauce was added on one end of the plate, meaning some of the duck was oversauced. The calamari starter was pleasant, if somewhat monotonous. The dessert menu was quite bland and with limited choice. The espresso cocktail was watery, you could taste the vodka, but it lacked that espresso zing. We will not return to Courts. There are better restaurants and there are better value for money eating experiences in the area with real plants.

Quite shocked, went here for Sunday lunch on recommendation. Ordered the lamb dinner, food tasted fine but the amount of lamb we were given was ridiculous, it wasn't even one slice, disguised by stuffing shaped the same. Two minute scoops of ice cream and a not very nice creme brulee, rounded off a highly priced Sunday dinner. Too polite to complain on first visit. But it will also be our last. Very disappointed.

Completely blown away with the Courts and what was on offer the venue has been refurbished to a high standard mostly, excellent food with something really special about every dish served, great live music with a DJ set to follow creating a lively atmosphere which was welcoming and upbeat. My only two complaint is despite the restaurant small venue the service was somewhat to be desired waiting long periods in between courses creating a poor “flow” for a high class establishment that the Courts is now aiming to be waiting until just before dessert for the water to finally be put down after asking four times for it. The men’s toilet was also missing a lock on the only bathroom stall available with the toilet roll just sat on the “wet” floor next to it again not what you’d expect. However the two above points were quickly forgotten when the food did arrive my party of four were absolutely blown away with the fresh blend of flavours, exciting dishes and superbly put together menu as a whole with alterations available at request and a broad vegetarian and vegan menu. To summarise despite what i’d assume are growing pains from being within it’s first true year of being open under new management it is a hidden gem in Cardiff and absolutely worth a visit.

Called in on an off-chance for Sunday lunch. It was the best Sunday lunch experience I've had in a long time. I chose the lamb, which was full flavoured, and cooked to perfection. I had a side of pigs in blankets. Vegetables are served separately, and extra gravy and cauliflower cheese were provided. The staff are polite and helpful, and the background music was not too loud, and perfectly suited the atmosphere.

Very disappointed!! Awful , long wait for the food and the attitude of the waitress was absolutely disgusting. We had been discussing as a family about the food the waitress decided to involve herself in our family discussion by leaning over and commenting. They had not prepared for the group and so we were left passing the plates around the table . Ruined the birthday meal atmosphere to the point we couldn't wait to get out of there. The portions were all different sizes even though the majority of us ordered the same meal . Chips were well overdone, and the food was only warm 100% have no intention of returning , attitude of the waitress was disgraceful

Having heard very good things about this place myself and a friend decided we’d treat ourselves to a Sunday lunch date with one another this weekend. First impressions were that it has a high attention to detail with the interior design. Last time we visited it was a humble Toby carvery on a busy junction. This time it was still a poor setting on a busy junction. The location really lets this place down and I sincerely hope they move it to somewhere or branch out to somewhere to do this brand justice. We were seated promptly and 10 mins ahead of our booking after expecting to be asked to wait. I must say the Sunday lunch seating is cramped. There’s not much privacy and there was a lot of cross table interruptions from neighbouring tables listening to our private conversation. This really wasn’t appreciated. We ordered a bottle of red to share. Which was great. We opted for the cheapest red and it was lovely. Service wise a big red flag was when our starters arrived (one Brie bites and one bbq pork belly). As we were busy talking we hadn’t quite started our first course, after about 5 mins of them being sat before us (and I’d already taken photos of them) a waitress came along and told us they weren’t ours. From my seat I could see they were whisked about the bar area for a few laps before being delivered back to the couple on the table right next to us. They were also aware if this. We eventually got our actual starters and they were lovely. The main course was outstanding in its quality. The cauliflower cheese is something else!!! Aside from things outside of the control of the company, the food was outstanding. Service and setting could be better. If this brand demand £100 for a Sunday dinner for two with wine it really needs to step up In other areas than just the quality of food

This place has potential. Improvements 1. Maybe put the menu in a leather wallet rather than just A4 pieces of paper - it looks cheap 2. Increase the price so you don’t have to have supplements. £4 for a tiny bit of sauce with the steak is a bit of a rip off.

First time at Courts for our wedding anniversary, firstly I was overwhelmed at the decor which was absolutely stunning . However I cannot say the same about the disgusting overpriced food that was served to myself. I wish I had taken a photo of this food because you would not believe what they served up. Firstly my food arrived literally cold, not even warm. Sent it back and received it once my husband had eaten half of his meal. They had reheated the meal in the microwave, looked like a dollop of mushy cabbage with a few sliced potatoes and dried chicken. Omg I have never seen anything so terrible, I politely said I cannot eat this pile of sh*t . Would never go back .

Fantastic ambience and service. Food was great, tasty, fresh, luxurious. Service was amazing, friendly team that were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. It is a bit pricey hence the 4 out of 5. Worth a visit for a treat night

Had a fabulous time at Courts yesterday. Service and food was excellent. I only wish we had visited earlier in December as the decor and Winter wonderland is beautiful.

The first time my partner and I visited, we regretted it, but ultimately gave the Courts the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the second time was just as bad. Went to the Winter Wonderland this time, but the service was shocking. Waited for almost 20 minutes at the bar while they served every other person waiting, and eventually left after being completely ignored. Would go anywhere else in Penarth before coming back.

Managed to squeeze us in after a short wait. Really busy with Christmas parties but service was great, food was excellent. Good choice of sauces. Missed the sticky toffee desert which wasn't on their current menue and needs to return. Atmosphere was very up beat. Always have a lovely experience when we visit.

Wow what an experience on the senses. A beautifully decorated exterior taking you in for the journey of a traditional Christmas with a Nutcracker and enhanced size bauble entrance. You enter a warm glow of all that is Christmas,twinkling lights with beautifully decorated rooms and ceilings. An explosion of tasteful yet innovative decorations fit for a London high end department store, in all it's seasonal glory and granpduer. To match the stand out decor its service and delicious food. A wonderful experience for those wanting to enjoy a unique experience that isn't a branded chain or an everyday place to go. Thankyou for a great evening

It had run out of chunky chips. There was an infant screaming. Sat outside. Very pleasant. Lovely staff. One of the dining rooms shut. It all felt as if it was in decline and ready to close. Something was not quite right. The food was good and portions large . The service excellent. Great for parking. I used to frequent here over 30 years ago and very fond of the place. But is atmosphere was not the same. Just felt something was missing. Maybe it lacked atmosphere.

The 3 women behind the bar were brusque and dour-faced. When I asked for a Campari and soda, the barmaid served it in a half pint glass topped up to the brim with soda. I said, I’m sorry but that’s not quite right, could you please put a measure of Campari in a glass with a splash of soda? The second attempt was again served in a half pint glass, this time a measure of Campari with a thimbleful of soda. Why the girl didn’t put the Campari in a glass and just ask me how much soda I wanted is beyond me. So I asked nicely if she could add a splash more soda. She did so whilst completely blanking me and asking another customer what she could get him. The whole ordeal was painful and as she was unfriendly and humourless, rather embarrassing. For this appalling lack of customer service and a pint of lime and soda, I was charged a scandalous £6.80. Train your staff to interact with their customers and tell them that a smile goes a long way!

Ate here with a group of four. All had separate dishes. All were amazing. Both quality and value for money. One of the overall nicest places I've eaten at for ages.
