"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."

"This was booked as a birthday treat. There was only one option at booking for price which said from £16.50. We got there and stood waiting for a while (the place was empty) to be seated. On the menu I had viewed it said there was salmon, and as neither of us liked that I asked if this could be changed. The lady never came back to us to ask what we would like in exchange in stead the next time we saw her she was bringing out the food. What we were given was nothing like what was on the menu but we didn't complain and ate it. It was no where near as good as what we were expecting. We never saw the waitress again and were there for 1.5 hours so didn't get asked if we would like any more drinks. When it came time to pay they advised it would be £75. I showed them the booking and the website along with the confirmation which they had received. At that point the waitress said they have never had salmon on their afternoon tea menu. So I showed her the website menu. They then told us to go to reception to get a resolution there. We were told a supervisor would be called. 20 minutes later still waiting. I asked for a manager to be called. 10 minutes later someone showed up. They agreed to paying £16pp. Back round to the restaurant to pay. This should have included the drinks but they decided to charge extra for them. By this point I was so stressed and it was ruining the birthday treat I just paid and we left. I will never recommend this place or return. The customer service is shocking."
