"Came here on a date night, really nice food for a great price. We went on a Wednesday and it was quiet so we got really quick service. Good deal on the cocktails too so we saved some money there. Charlotte who served us was lovely."

"A much needed respite in Saint David’s shopping centre in Cardiff. Lovely staff (especially Beverley and the front of house who were charming) who all looked after very well. I had an excellent flat white, a glass of Pinot and the Mac & Cheese - exactly what I needed to keep me going. Thank you for looking after me so well and I will see you next time I am visiting the homeland."

"We as a group went there to have our dinner. All of us had the chicken burger and it was delicious. Cocktails very nice and very good. Some cocktails hand fun names. I particularly liked the cocktail named Por@⭐ Martini The waitresses working there was very nice and had a very good attitude, attentive and very quick and hard-working. The place is located on the second floor of the shopping mall."

"Food was surprisingly tasty, especially the various chicken sandwiches and burgers. There is a good sized drink menu with lots of tasty options, including several really tasty no alcohol options (the strawberry lemonade is fantastic). We dined there 6 times during a multi week stay nearby and found the service to always be friendly and attentive. Several times we were there while they were running their 5 pound favorites offer (you had to know to ask for it). The price was amazing and they did not sacrifice quality or size for the special, we got the same great entrees we did when paying full price. One of the best options in the area."
