Fabulous food and service as always! Had my usual crepe complete - probably the best one yet! Situated right on Cardiff Bay - nice spot to sit outside on a sunny day!

Whole experience was excellent from booking the table, being received at the restaurant, the attention of the waiting staff and the food was absolutely delicious. Tarte Citron to die for...and then we saw "The Commitments - the Musical" . Brilliant evening

Starters were very tasty and good quality, however my main course of chicken was overcooked and very dry and the minute amount of sauce didn't help. My husbands main again too many puy lentils, with far too little sauce. The haddock itself was fine. We did wait some time for our starters to arrive, the main course arrived in good time. The waitress was very pleasant.

Lovely food, not too hay with where we were seated as there was a lot of foot traffic around us and we were right by the bar so waiting staff were around us a lot of the time. Had we been seated in a quieter sot then I would have given a 6 as a rate.

Food great and delivered quick as requested due to just having one hour as we were going to the theatre,the staff were very pleasant and helpful ,my only criticism is that they added to the bill 12.5% optional gratuity we did give it and more but it's a bit cheeky most people give what they feel without putting them under pressure and asking for it. This was my only gripe with this restaurant

The food and service was great but the noise level that night was exceptionally loud which made conversation difficult. Lovely waitress but 12.5 % gratuity automatically added is high.

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful food and friendly staff. Would highly recommend the steak tartar. It's the best I've eaten. The food is delicious. It's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Think the service charge is a bit steep but it is optional.

Celebrated being together for 34 years and our 2nd year of marriage at Cote The Bay Cardiff. The staff made us very welcome and special with a free glass of Rose Prosecco each. The service and food was first class and as I've said before we will go back.

As always the meal was superb. Just the right amount for an early pre theatre dining experience. My criticism was that we allowed sufficient time for dessert and coffee, but due to the number of other diners the staff could not accommodate us on this particular occasion. That said, I will be returning again as this has not happened before.
