"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 booked this for me and my friend because of his proximity to our site and thought 3/5 would do for a humble dinner at the end of the day as we were hungry. Big mistake while traveling as a brasserie, the food was more in line with the burgers, steaks and salads served in weather podons, but far below the standard. One of the few still decent looking dishes on the menu was the lampshades, it was too fat and greasy and the potato too hard to finish for my ever starving friend. The avocado and pancetta salad was first dirty, it contained normal bacon, not pancetta and second, the game was so drowned in Balsamico vinegar that everything I could taste was soggy, mucous leaves. Although the service was ok, the ambience was dirty. The brasserie looks like a trendy restaurant as you can see on the site, but it only looks empty, most of the time. If you go to a restaurant on a Friday night and its empty, though for a table, you feel quite reluctant to actually admit, you have a reservation. it had the feeling of a huge empty atrium that you could find in a hotel lobby or possibly airport atrium. The view of the place just didn't work, the food was dirty and seemed like they were trying to be trendy after pub menus of 10 years ago and to worry about the nearby tourism market, but overall it was terrible and I'm embarrassed to have found it on an open table and taken my friend there, provided it was pretty nice."
