"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."

"I definitely would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food. I was invited to a 60th birthday dinner and judging by the menu I could not tell whether this was supposed to be authentic Italian or African cusine to my disappointment it was neither. The food was sub standard and cold and the wait between courses was over 90 minutes. For starters, I ordered the Prawn Gamberi, which had a very watery garlic sauce and with frozen king prawns. The main was the lamb dish, which had reheated potatoes and good old Bisto gravy, which was poured over my lamb (not asked whether this was wanted) and very salty green beans. I sure was not going to order a dessert after that. Another guest in my party had what was called seafood risotto but was in actual fact wet rice absolutely shocking. They didn't even use Aborio rice. The beef stroganoff on some plates were dry and the order that was placed with chips had a weird watery cream sauce. The Jellof rice...well some people would have been offended and the spaghetti bolognese for my child was salty and disgusting with overcooked pasta. I can't even be bothered to write about the cocktails if you could call them that!!! Had I been the one paying the bill I would have demanded a discount for this inedible food. I would suggest the owners/chefs decide what type of restaurant this is and go out and taste some real authentic cuisines because they are not serving it. If Gordon Ramsey was still presenting on Kitchen Nightmares, I would have suggested visiting this place to give it an overhaul. How **** dare you what a disgrace."
