"Went for lunch with my family, have to say the 2 star rating is not for the food or the server who helped us. The two star review is for the manager on duty, he was crowding our server, ordering her about and generally micro managing her. His attitude and manner was aggressive, he was throwing bottles in the recycling bins and generally bringing attention to himself in a loud and obnoxious way. So clearly he had issues that day but instead of taking a 10 minute time out he instead took it out on a server and gave us a show we didn't appreciate. We checked that the server was okay because quite frankly he was completely invading her space. So if you want to watch someone have a temper tantrum and constantly walk back and forth go there the food was great. For us, with a 10 year old we didn't much appreciate it. BTW I have been a manager for 25 years, and would never treat staff like that."

Has a actual gluten free menu with a lot more choice than you usually get in Cardiff.

Had a perfectly good lunch here, with friendly and efficient service (they seem used to it being packed to the rafters).

I visited this restaurant with my wife tonight and had a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. The cocktails were also very enjoyable. This place is far superior to Two G in Cardiff. We would definitely return, as the dining was delightful.

I visited this restaurant with my wife tonight, and we had a great experience. The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. The cocktails were also quite delightful. This location is definitely much better than the branch in Cardiff. We will certainly return, as the food was delicious!

It's a lovely spot for a conversation. The service was a bit slow, but my friend really enjoyed their meal, while I particularly liked the dessert (the tiramisu in the photo). However, I wasn't a big fan of the pasta and starter, as they were quite spicy for my taste. The baked goods looked appealing. Overall, it has more of a café vibe, focusing on coffee and cake, rather than a full-fledged restaurant experience. View menu

The food was lovely but slightly overpriced. It was a busy Saturday evening and staff were not always attentive. However the main reason for only 3 stars is the dining experience was not relaxed. The staff station is in middle of an acoustically loud restaurant and they were flying around. The atmosphere gave the impression of a canteen service as opposed to a relaxed and pricey restaurant. Definitely wouldnt go for a relaxing meal there but probably fine for coffee and catch up type meeting.

The second reason for the deduction of a star was that we were offered bottled water instead of the tap water we wanted. We waited quite a while, with three different employees asking if we had ordered drinks, which seemed like a selling tactic more than just providing service. Despite these two issues, the restaurant is fantastic, and I only took away one star instead of two. The food was truly excellent, and the service was very good. The facilities and atmosphere were also impressive, with tasteful music enhancing the evening. The place was immaculate and very clean, including the restrooms. As for dessert, as you can see from the picture, it was so delicious that I managed to eat hal...
