A beautiful garden lunch on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. Pork belly and sticky toffee pudding cooked to perfection by Mike and Lewis; sharp and friendly table service by Aaron. Would recommend to anyone!

Had a last minute booking for an evening meal with my family. Loved the new decor! The food menu was also great and much improved. We had starters, and mains - both lovely all round (my husband had and I shared the Chateaubriand), great children's meal too as these an sometimes be disappointing in some places - for my 10 year old it was perfect!Great service too although I did feel they were rushed off their feet a little bit and difficult to order more drinks. Still very happy overall and would definitely come back again soon.

Another knock out meal and experience last night, tasting the new menu and checking out the revamp, which is pretty lush comfy and welcoming. The lil sharer plates are to die for, lovely additions of bao buns and sticky chicken bites, yes please all day! Well worth a visit perfect for foodies and cocktail lovers. This place is on my return to list for sure, well done guys 👏 the waiter Aaron was a delight also 😀

Busy Bar & Restaurant in a quiet area of Cardiff. Good service and great food! Although the staff were very busy nothing was too much trouble and we didn't have to wait long for our order.

I've just got home have had a lovely lunch at this lovely pub. The staff were super friendly, chatty and helpful! I had the dirty burger which was amazing and then I had a super rich and unctuous millionaires bar with raspberry sorbet which was excellent!I would absolutely recommend this place for its lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great food!!

An absolutely fabulous lunch. The staff were all so friendly and attentive. The veggie burger was excellent....thank you for a wonderful meal.The building is currently covered in scaffolding and I was told that they are closing for a couple of weeks for refurbishment. I look forward to returning once the work is finished

Wow wow wow, this restaurant is amazing the food is absolutely fantasticly delicious, this is a must visit for anyone visiting Cardiff. Great atmosphere, background music is delightful. Staff are very friendly and tentative. Also dog friendly in the bar area, they bring a fresh bowl of water and treats for the dogs without even asking! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, I'm still reminiscing about the food. Also dessert selection is too good to choose from, I asked for a taste of each and they happily obliged. Guys go visit this place, you will not be disappointed!

Vegetarian Nightmare - when I booked I told you that my partner was a vegetarian.He ordered the vegan mushroom starter I had the mushroom starter with white wine and cream - both delicious.We ordered a bottle of savingon blanc wine also delicious.Main course I had salmon my partner ordered the CANDIED ROOT VEGETABLE BAKE. Anyhow it came and he said he didn't recognise the vegetables on the top so started to eat the potatoes on the side. With that the young waiter came over and said we've given you the wrong main, it was actually BELLY PORK!!!!This did turn us off our main courses and the delicious moment had gone!He's been a vegetarian since he was a child. He took it quite well to be fair and the young waiter did apologise purfusely.We eventually had his main course I asked for chips in the meanwhile.The dessert was divine, vegan tiramasu for him and chocolate bomb for me .We than asked for the bill, it was a 2 for one offer email which was good but I was rather disappointed that the chips were added on the bill after the debarcle that occurred! So I told the young waiter I thought it should be removed. He then had to seek approval from his manager.The cost of the chips were removed.I was disappointed to be fair that an apology wasn't given and the cost of the wine wasn't removed either to be honest.So all in all great tasting food but mistakes were made that could have been rectified by management .

Was really looking forward to a pint and light bites after work.The food was very disappointing.ARTISAN RUSTIC BREADS & NOCELLARA OLIVESwith olive oil & balsamic vinegar (v)£6.50 - 🙄 nothing Rustic about the bread, bits of stale crusts!Fries £3.75 - next time I'll go to McDonald's, they were fried, fired and fried again! greasy burnt offerings.Don't waste your money!Also the state of the ketchup bottle the manager offered me in these covid times was shocking!We enjoyed our pint but the rest forget it!Thanks for the reply, I tried to speak to you but you were more interested in telling me I'd ordered incorrectly as the food came from a starters menu and sides thats why they didn't come together. Hope you will be more hospitable to future customers.
