We went in May for a birthday and it was great. Singing waiters which added to the atmosphere and the food was very good, so we thought we would try it again for a birthday. No singing waiters this time and we waited an hour and a half for food and when it eventually arrived it was not good. It was barely warm and the chips were stone cold and some were black. The only good meal was the carbonara but nothing else. It was obvious they were struggling with staff and we noticed several diners sending their food back. We did not pay the full bill on agreement with them and we will not go back again.

The food is great with a varied selection, though the vegetable portions are small (Rack of Lamb pictured, minus a smaller carrot piece I had already eaten). The Faggots portions are generous, though. The staff are lovely and helpful, and even set a place with biscuits/treats and water for my dog. The atmosphere is great, with a live singer for entertainment (not always, so do check beforehand). I have visited many times and I'm sure I'll be back there soon.

Absolutely shocking! We should have known the food was going to be bad when our wine was corked and the lemonade was flat. We opted for the 3 course menu. The starters were very small but passable but it all went down hill from there. The steaks, despite being asked how we would like it cooked, were overcooked, barely warm and unable to chew. The seafood pasta was supposed to be in a creamy sauce but instead came out spicy tomato with rubbery prawns and calamari and as for the seabass it had a slimy skin and week old potatoes. We left everything as it was not edible and we were so worried as the waiter was enjoying feeing pigeons on his hands outside our window and then we watched him come in and bring our plates over to us without washing his hands! Dire food and hygiene standards. So disappointing as it still cost us £70! Avoid at all cost!

My family and I used to come here over 10 years ago and stopped in the last 2/3 years because we thought it wasn’t as good as it once was. Partner and I decided to give it a second chance, and were let down. Food was good, but waited for half an hour to get dessert. When handed the dessert menu, there was mould all over it! According to my partner the hand driers in the bathroom were also mouldy. The restaurant is still advertised as having singing waiters, but we had none of that - and didn’t for the last few visits either. It used to be beautiful here but unfortunately it’s absolutely unclean and not worth it anymore.

Very poor service quality. Ordered a bruschetta but it was way too soggy and full of onions... Sent it back. Then I asked for my steak to be cooked medium: I got a well done one, with still all the liquids, which means that it wasn't left to rest and dry. Let's not talk about the portion of it (supposed to be 6oz, which clearly weren't!!!). Asked for the bill and I noticed that the bruschetta was on it and when I asked if I was really paying for a product I sent back, the lady, which I believe being the manager, replied that "I ordered it and it was my choice if I didn't like it"! Didn't even asked any question about the reason! And above of all of it, it was overpriced: just paid and left. Absolutely zero customer service and not recommended at all!

I e mailed in advance to enquire about glueton free options so did my friend but no one got back to us so I rang to ensure they had options before booking I was told yes. When we arrived the waiter gave my friend details of the glueton free ones she chose pasta but he came back and said it was off the menu she selected chicken he came back again to say chicken to say there was glueton in the gravy. She could only have fish or steak so just make sure you clarify before eating.

This is a posh restaurant with nice deco. However the customer service is poor. We were seated with menu very quickly. However we had to wait for nearly 20 minutes to order food, and that’s after I went up to the waiter near the entrance to get the attention. We then waited for long time, nearly 10 minutes to get the bill. We had kids meal, sea bass and salmon with asparagus for mains. The taste is average, nothing special. But what stands out is the exceptionally small portion! The sea bass we had is only half a side of fillet, so 1/4 fillet of whole fish. You would expect normal main course to come with some tomatoes, usually a couple of roast potatoes or cubed baked potatoes. But here they only give you a few slices of fried potatoes. Unbelievable! I’m only size 10 slim built and I’m not full after having the main course. So I can’t imagine this would be sufficient for a man. Disappointing food and service with a high price tag. Avoid!

From the table and chairs covers to the menu, and the way the food was served, everything was very dated.... I felt like I was eating food on the Titanic! Food was ok. I had rack of lamb that was cooked well, but it was served with gravy, very old school. Wife had pasta that was bland and pasta was overcooked and soggy. The thing that annoyed me the most was the wine! We ordered the bottle of Chardonnay at £33 to be brought a not so chilled bottle of yellow tail, that had clearly been bought from the Tesco around the corner for £7. That's shocking

So dissapointed! As a full time carer I was looking forward to a lovely afternoon out, it didn't get off to a good start when my friend and I arrived, and they couldn't find our name, felt like they didn't believe we'd booked, then our name was spotted, at the top of the page, it was the first name on the booking sheet. A large group of other ladies began to arrive, as we stood in front of the the lady dealing with our booking she told the waiter, "Put this two on 28" as if we were parcels or something. The waiter told her he couldn't do this as the table was still occupied by the 11 o'clock booking! The lady told him to hurry them up. My friend and I were told to "sit there" and indicated to a table squeezed right next to the front door, where the queue of 40 or more women were waiting to enter. We had to wait for them to be seated, then we were shown to a small table in the corner. As we sat down, I was disgusted to see the black table cover was covered in stains. We didn't want to make a fuss because of how we were made to feel when we arrived,instead we turned the table cover over. We ordered drinks but we were brought the wrong order. The food, chicken and spaghetti, tasted good but the chicken was tough and not restaurant standard. The saving grace was a singing waiter he had a lovely voice. We didn't stay as planned for drinks, coffee and dessert, we were made to feel that because it was just two of us, we didn't matter, the larger group were given presidence. This experience really spoilt the afternoon.

We came here for dinner in a group of 13 with 4 families. We sat in a set of connecting tables in 4 groups as we told the waiter upfront that we would be splitting the bill. Sitting in groups already would make it more feasible. The waiter said he just needed to know what to charge later. Little did I know what that really means. After dinner and with about 15 min of attempts of eye contacts and flagging, just like when we waited to order, we finally got his attention. He gave us one bill and asked us to tell him exactly how to split the bill while I found his tone rather patronizing. Then, he disappeared for about another 10 min before coming back to expect us to specify the amounts of each bill. To say the least, of all the restaurants I have dined in around the world, I have never been given a bill by a waiter and requested to do itemized calculation to split the bill myself, despite the ease of seat arrangement and clear communication of bill splitting made right upfront. It won't happen in even a family diner in a small town, but in this overpriced restaurant located in Cardiff Bay. When asked for receipts, he requested us to take pictures of the bills by ourselves. Regarding the overall dining experience, it is relentlessly poor and disappointing. First, it took us a long time to get the waiter's attention to place order. Once food was served, we had never seen the waiter again until we asked for the bill. During dinner, we needed to look for another waiter to get our glasses refilled with water. Ravioli was undercooked with the edges merely tasted dry and hard. We needed to ask the other waiter to take it back to kitchen to recook. Mussels were dry and tiny. The only star I gave here is to the entertainment; otherwise the experience here was so horrible that I won't even give any star. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone who expect any decent customer service and reasonable prices. We could have paid half the price somewhere else, but with faster service and better quality.

TLDR... Avoid. Did a quick search online of the menu, the prices and dish listings gave me hope... Atmosphere of a benidorm 'english' grub restaurant. Table reserved for 5pm orders taken at 5.10 So far so good. We have a show at 7 at the millennium center. It is currently 6.50 and no sign of food. I'm begining to question the reviews above 3* on here as even if the food arrived an hour after you ordered I doubt it's quality would make up for such a delay. When we asked the waiter why was there such a delay... "Your food is on the way, it's because we want it all served at the same time." I've heard him say this to a number of patrons by now... I'm no logistical expert of culinary practice but nearly 2 hours for a rare steak and lamb rack, seems quite excessive. And im no fine diner, by any means. But ive paid half as much for finer service, in lesser known establishments in Cardiff. and the food arrived in under 20 minutes with multiple courses and better quality...

When the bill came they tried to charge us for the meals they brought to us in error and not the actual ones we eventually got.

I went there for the first time tonight and had their set three- course meal before going to the theatre.They also offer a set two - course and then many other dishes besides. We both had prawn cocktail to start, then I had seabass with sliced potatoes in their skins and asparagus whilst my niece had the steak Diane ( about £2.00+ extra), with chips and vegetables.We finished with Eton Mess and each course was delicious. The table and chairs looked pristine in black and white, and our window seat was delightful! I was delighted with the whole experience..the decor is fantastic with lots of lights ( one big, beautiful chandelier) and a warm, theatrical ambience. The meal was delicious and not overly expensive, and our waiter was attentive and very efficient. The service was rapid, and he was charming. The washrooms were immaculate! On the way out, we met two lovely ladies and an equally friendly dog. The former were the owners of the restaurant, and they seemed delighted to hear that we would definitely be going again.

Do not go here. Attended for a Christmas Day meal. The service was awful from the staff, rude and took over 2.5 hours between starters. No apologies. Food cold and inadequate portions. The entire party cost over £700. Drugs found in toilet and patrons not discouraged from smoking weed directly outside of the premise. Which filled the restaurant with a certain smell. Awful awful experience, rang back to discuss with management and was told there will be no compensation with no real concern or care.

Visited in the hope of having food prior to theatre tickets. Hadn’t booked. The staff were extremely obliging and helpful. We had food and it was made extremely quickly. Excellent quality food and brilliant atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit and we’ll Be back even if we don’t have theatre tickets.

Never been before, never will again. They used to have a good name so we thought give it a go. 3 children and 2 adults. The first thing I saw, was a very expensive bottle of wine that I drink at home, which was £30 in the restaurant! One child ordered spag bol -absolutely tasteless!, one had rack of lamb with chips - consisted was 3 small chops , and the third had carbonara. The description of carbonara was ‘with bacon ‘ . Quarter way through, she said the ham tasted funny, so we all tried it and it can only be described as squishy. I then separated one piece and pushed it with a spoon and it turned into a paste like substance. My steak was a terrible cut of meat, full of gristle and silver skin. My wife’s chicken and pasta was awful too. When quizzed about the ham/bacon in the carbonara, I said it’s like tinned ham/spam and he said that’s what they use!! We ate what we could, as we had gone without a meal all day, and looked forward to a nice evening meal. Paid , left and will never return.

Ich war in kleinem Bar gegenüber gewesen, der sieht wie kleines Häuschen aussieht. Die Ambiente ist toll. Alles schön Weihnachtlich geschmuckt, dazu kommt richtige Musik (gestern sogar live). Es wurde an alles gedacht sogar an künstliche Schnee nach draußen. Super gemütlich und sehr nettes Personal.

When for Christmas Day dinner, it wasn’t great - the place had an atmosphere like a football match. We were a group of nine. One of the group left early as the music was way too loud. It can’t be the same on normal days I am sure, however the place was packed and the kitchen was overloaded and couldn’t cope. Food was 5 course we didn’t have third as it didn’t come out and it took so long we didn’t stay for the fifth. We sat down at 3:30 and main meal didn’t come until 6:00 pm. Positives - the singer was good and the waiters friendly but the organisation was a shocker. No, no, never again .

I was at the bar opposite and loved the Christmas theme they had going. The cocktails were delicious, and the service was very friendly. Inside was very cosy indeed and I really did like the Christmassy atmosphere.

Went a couple of weeks ago for a work Xmas meal, there was 14 of us on a Tuesday night, restaurant was dead. I had also booked a festive menu, upon arrival I was told the menu I expected to have wasn't available to us because we didn't pre order. This info wants given to me when I booked and paid a deposit so we were given another festive menu to choose from instead. Which luckily did still cater to dietary requirements. I then ordered a cocktail which arrived 35 minutes later and was poor, I make them better myself. My next drink was a glass of wine, I ordered a medium and was given a large which I was charged for. We had 3 courses which was mediocre at best. My starter or procuitto wrapped asparagus was a few sad looking stalks of asparagus with a bit of bacon wrapped round the middle served on some pretty generic salad leaves. My main of festive chicken parcel with trimmings was a little chicken breast with a bit of bacon wrapped around it, the veg was average. Finally the desert was a baileys creme choux bun, absolutely no taste of baileys with what I assume was canned squirty cream. One of my colleagues with me ordered fish which was described as having some kind of sauce, it came with no sauce, when she asked where the sauce was she was told it had 'sunk in' to the fish. I mean... The wait staff didn't seem to have a clue what was going on, we chased for drinks on more than 1 occasion and when we were asking questions about food we got blank looks half the time. At the start someone in my group asked what the soup of the day was, the waiter had to go into the (empty) kitchen, open a pan and guess what it was. No chef in the kitchen until we started ordering so I assume some microwaving or re heating was done. Then when we got the bill we totalled up the cost of the set menu items they all came in at £2 less than the set amount but they were absolutely fine to still take the full amount from everyone. We were the only 14 people in the restaurant for majority of our dinner and they struggled with that. Shame, wouldn't recommend or go back.

I have visited this restaurant many times over the years and have had excellent service and great food, today was no different. My friends and I were made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. I am already looking forward to my return visit.

Table booked for 7:30pm over half an hour delay and not seated till 8pm , ordered spaghetti carbonara , which was barely warm and a ridiculous small size portion that resembled a child menu in a weatherspoons ! Lacked any taste and the garnish was a joke - Awful just awful !

My husband and I dined at Demiro’s for the first time this afternoon. The restaurant was empty at 15:30pm on a Friday, which was ideal for us as we hadn’t made a reservation. The service was to a very high standard - all of the waiting staff were very friendly and attentive and had fantastic humour. The Festive Menu was very wallet-friendly: 2 courses for £16.95 or 3 courses for £20. The drinks menu is also very extensive and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meal and will definitely return in the very near future.

Could not fault any aspect. Everyone in our party were amazed at the taste, presentation & service. Staff were friendly, efficient and speedy. Possibly the best in Cardiff. Will definitely go again!

Very busy but friendly staff and lovely food. We also had a few songs from one of the staff before leaving for the theatre. Book in advance an allow at least 2 hours if you are eating before going onto a show. November 23. We visited again last night for a show meal. We both had starters and mains from the festive menu. Again the food was excellent and the staff very friendly.

Friday evening 19th October and we visited this restaurant for dinner. It is located in Mermaid Quay and overlooks Roald Dahl Plass and the Welsh Millennium Centre. We did not have a reservation, so luckily they were able to accommodate the seven of us. We were greeted at the door, warmly welcomed, and shown to our large circular table. We were presented with the menus, there was the a la carte menu as well as a set price two and three course menus and the drinks menu. This is an Italian, Spanish and Welsh flavour to the food served here. While we decided on what food to order we ordered some drinks from a friendly good humoured waiter. We finally decided on what to order which was a range of starters including garlic mushrooms, chicken liver pate and homemade soup. My starter, the soup, leek and potato was delicious. Home made Welsh faggots proved to be rather popular with a number of us ordering them. It was unfortunate that there were insufficient faggots for us all so a couple of us reselected the chicken breast. When our food was served it was delicious the chicken breast was succulent and tender and the faggots were very much appreciated. There is certainly a sense of the theatrical, dramatic and the zany about the decor here. From chandeliers, Greek statues, theatre curtains, unusual lights and other oddities, they all added to the atmosphere here. We really did enjoy our evening here, reasonably priced, quality delicious food, attentive and amusing staff and the over the top decor.

We visited this restaraunt for a pre show lunch, there were a group of 15. Our table was booked for 12.15 for which we were seated and ready to order. All of the startes were on table without much of a wait. Myself I had the seasonal menu - 2 courses for £16.95. My starter was duc and otange pate which was ok (well you can't really go wrong with this). Or main courses was not served until 1.30 (the show started at 2.30. My main course was chicken parcel (chicken breast stuffed with stuffing and wrapped in prosciutto) served with saute potatoes and seasonal veg. It was wrapped in bacon, thickly cut and not prociutto. The stuffing was almost raw, and when i turned the chicken over there was a huge peice of white bacon fat that was hardly cooked. The vegetables, carrotts, which you couldn't cut and broccoli were slightly warm and the saute potatoes were tasteless. Needles to say I did eat the chicken breast but left most of the poatoes and vegetable. No one had time for dessert. Due to the timing and sorting of the bill we did not complain to the restaraunts. I would not recommend this place and never go there agin.

I had been given a 'tasting' gift voucher for two people so I went along with a friend and we weren't disappointed. We tasted all their beers and lagers some we loved and a couple were too 'fruity' for us, following this we enjoyed a pint of our choice. It is a spacious venue with the brewery on site, there is a full bar as well as all the beer. The pizzas were excellent we enjoyed two which we shared. The service was friendly and each beer/lager was explain to us before tasting. Certainly worth a visit even if you are not a beer drinker.

Great food. The main did take a while to come, and I didn't rate the ice cream. The cider was very nice.

We visited Ikea in cardiff on Saturday 2nd November 2024 just for a coffee, it was busy but plenty of empty tables. However, the presentation of the table were absolutely disgusting, some were cleared of plate but the tables were filthy. Never seen it like that ever. We found a table but unfortunately the coffee was also disgusting cold and the machine only served half a cup. We left, not sure we would go to the restaurant again which is a shame

Ordered the steak medium. It was cooked well. The chips were nice, mushrooms were missing and the peas were inedible. The server spent so long chatting to friends on the next table she forgot the mustard I asked for. Only giving it 4* as the steak was lovely.
