Authentic French Cuisine, food was lovely and so were the staff, as they were very attentive and explained things to us. I had the pork belly which was lovely and tender and the French onion soup was rich and flavoursome.

Service seemed slow and it felt not up to its usual high standard. The food was still good though. Maybe a touch of complacency, not sure.

Lovely mothers day breakfast - great service and beautiful breakfast. It was quite busy as you'd expect and we had to wait quite a long time for coffee (only one coffee machine apparently) but despite this, staff were lovely and attentive and we had a very enjoyable morning. I would prefer if the service charge was not added automatically to the bill however.

Extremely pleasant service, relaxed ambience. Food was good and very good value (we had the midweek set lunch menu - can't fault it for value). It was my father's 86th birthday and he was delighted to be given a free glass of something sparkly! A lovely touch.

You know what you are getting at Cote, reasonable quality, reasonable prices and efficient service. (Food a bit too salty) although why you need 25 words to say this is beyond me. Enjoyed the meal though!

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.

A variety of delicious dishes and excellent service, all within in a lovely setting at Cardiff Bay. It's not often you get a traditional restaurant experience anymore that really makes you feel as though it's a special occasion but this delivers exactly that, and at a very reasonable cost too - would definitely recommend!

The food and service were excellent. Good value menu and friendly, efficient staff and great location for pre-theatre meal. We usually use Cote in the Bay for a meal on days out to the theatre and before rugby internationals.

Good meal and efficient service - coped well with unusually large lunchtime crowd all eating at the same time before going to a ballet performance. It seemed that the surge might have been anticipated and extra staff brought in in anticipation. If so, well done. Good value, although extras (bread, chips, salad, etc.) overpriced.

I has a wonderful steak cooked just as I requested it. As we had joined their online scheme, it was complemented by a complementary of Cote du Rhône. On first opening, it was a little harsh, but, having a little time to breathe, it became the perfect partner to my peppered steak. The staff were pleasant and the service was attentive without being intrusive. I will return.

Emma S.8 years ago · 1 review

Food was exceptional but service was lacking. Starters and mains were brought out uneventfully but after that it went downhill... We waited at least 30 minutes for the plates to be cleared after our mains, we didn't get offered any more drinks or asked if the food was ok - I think we'd been completely forgotten about! By the time they bothered to come to our table it was far too late to even think about desert. To add insult to injury a 12.5% service charge was added onto the bill despite the very poor service we encountered. Not sure I would visit this restaurant again, which is a real shame as the food was wonderful, it was just the service that let the place down!

Food was so lovely and well presented. We were also quite surprised at how big the portions were. You definitely get great value for money. The fish is beautiful there, but at the same time my partner had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. Much better than a lot of the places down the bay! Service was also very good and our waiter was very attentive, we didn't have to wait around for a refill he noticed that we were low and came over straight away! :) Perfect date night place.

Brilliant service throughout, dishes brought promptly since they were aware we were going to the theatre. Manager was pleasant and visible. The starters and mains were well presented and were superb. We were so impressed that we decided to return after the theatre for dessert which was equally lovely. It is the only restaurant I would go to in the bay from now on especially pre theatre.

Four of us ate. Starters were nice : one pea soup, one mussels & I had whitebait which was in a lovely light batter . Main meal: one had the Minute steak which was very nice but x3 of us had the Shepherd's pie and we all felt it was really too salty, we were asked and offered alternative which we declined due to time constraints as this was pre- theatre dinner. Overall a nice place to eat and nice service, we were unlucky this time with the main meal. We asked advice on a dry wine and given taster which we really liked, it turned out to be Muscadet which we wouldn't have ordered normally & was reasonably priced. Menu good value two courses for £10:50. Table booked for 5:30pm & we were out by 6:50 pm just right for the 7:30pm performance in nearby Wales Millennium Centre.

we rang to say we would be late for our booking due to a traffic problem. When we arrived (Fed up and hungry with only half an hour before the start of a show) they checked on our booking and although the restaurant was heaving with people they managed to feed us all with steak frites and a welcome drink in time to get to get us to the show - well done - we'll be back

Food was great staff friendly however we booked for a pre theatre meal which took an hour and a half for two courses which left us rushed to get to the theatre in time. We needed to ask for the wine and ask for the dessert to be served after quite a wait. Then we ordered coffe which took so long we had to cancel as we had to leave. All this would have been fine if we did not have a dead line to meet. Everything else was perfect and fantastic value for money. In fairness the staff did not stop and were doing their best to cope with a very full restaurant.

Always very welcoming with friendly staff and excellent service. The food never disappoints, and our wine, even though at the lower end of the price range was very drinkable. For pre- or post-theatre it's the perfect place to eat - we never go anywhere else when we are at the Bay.

We had a very good experience- food and staff. We were left to chat for quite a while after eating without pressure. We were moved from a table too close to another on request. This was 2nd visit, definitely will go again. Thank you staff.
