    Good food, great service. Pre rugby lunch, they managed to squeeze me in, was a sirloin steak and a nice red wine. It’s spoiled only by serving the wine in plastic wine glasses (match day only). The decor is beautiful and if it was a better day, they have a fantastic roof terrace!! Book to avoid disappointment on match days. Will defo make this my no1 stop in Cardiff

    I went with my boyfriend on his birthday, having been recommended by family. We were served by Tara I believe, though multiple people greeted us and were extremely kind. We both had burgers which were absolutely delicious and filling. The garlic bread was beautiful as well. We were brought out a free brownie with a candle in for his birthday, which was not only delicious but the sweetest thing I’ve experienced at a restaurant. Considering we visited on Boxing Day and expected the place to be chaos, it was the opposite, and the staff were extremely kind and took the time to talk to us as well as being excellent at their jobs. They were super helpful and gave us a really nice night. Definitely coming back!! The atmosphere was so nice, and the kebabs are calling our name next time 😊

    Good food, great atmosphere and drinks were slowly freely. The service was a tad slow for a while but they were extremely busy. Was a bottomless brunch so feel like you want to ensure it is worth the money. Cocktails were fantastic 👌

    Lovely environment and atmosphere with very friendly waiters, tasty halloumi and spectacular looking hangers for the kebabs. Very busy so service was a little slow and there was a small wait to be seated but still a great experience overall. 8.5/10
