"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 restaurant was full when we pulled up, but after a moment, it was clear that it was full because of the entertainment and not the food.

Table booked for 7:30pm over half an hour delay and not seated till 8pm , ordered spaghetti carbonara , which was barely warm and a ridiculous small size portion that resembled a child menu in a weatherspoons ! Lacked any taste and the garnish was a joke Awful just awful !

We ate at this restaurant a while back and had a beautiful meal, however we were most disappointed in the food yesterday. One of our parties ordered 3 courses and 2 they didn’t have. Two of the other parties ordered steak and it was over cooked,we did say to the waiter but nothing was done. We had bread with the prawns and it tasted rancid. Finally we had our sweets, the sherry trifle was awful, the sherry was so strong it overpowered everything,the profiteroles like the trifles had squirty synthetic cream. The meal was for a special get together and we’re most disappointed.

We visited this restaraunt for a pre show lunch, there were a group of 15. Our table was booked for 12.15 for which we were seated and ready to order.

The stuffing was almost raw, and when i turned the chicken over there was a hu...
