The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in The Vale of Glamorgan South East

Terrible food I ordered pasta arrabiata and it came with minimal sauce. A very small portion and cold. My husband ordered a prawn pasta and that had no sauce either. I have wirked and lived in italy and I can honestly say the meal was the worst I had tasted. I came home and had to make a sandwich as I was hungry.

I had heard good things about this place but had a mixed experience dining here. The tapas dishes were just okay, nothing special. The patatas bravas were a disappointment, as they were essentially chip shop fries cut into different shapes, and the tomato sauce lacked flavor. For my main, I ordered a special - half an aubergine for £14. While it was delicious, the portion size was extremely small for the price, and I left feeling hungry. On a positive note, most of the staff were lovely and attentive, making the service enjoyable. Unfortunately, one male staff member, in his 40s with dark hair, had a bad attitude that soured the experience and made me hesitant to return.

So, I booked a table online earlier in the day, turned up to be told that they couldn't find my booking because he had done all the online bookings the night before so hadn't updated the list, but he could "squeeze us in". Just 2 of us. By the time we left, I counted 31 empty seats so less than half full. Given menus and told to order at the bar and cutlery was "over there" if we wanted any! Being sat next to the bar, I ordered some drinks while deciding which steak to have, not a hard decision seeing as there's a choice of sirloin or ribeye.... Went with the sirloin. Asked me to pay when I was at the bar which I thought very unusual for a restaurant. Went to the table to get our knives/forks, surely the least they can do is set a table??? Took in the surroundings while waiting for the food, pink flowers all over the feature wall which looked out of place, terrible music which sounded even worse playing though what ever device they were using behind the bar. Food didn't take long to come and wasn't bad to be fair, alough it was served on a cold plate. Sauce didn't resemble any peppercorn sauce I'd ever had before and reminded me of baby puke. Ate and left without any sort of service such as being asked if the food was ok. Don't think I'll be returning
