Never disappointed. Lovely atmosphere buzzing. Great attentive staff. Location perfect for The Millennium Theatre Cardiff. When choosing the wine and not sure which of the two we would prefer our waiter gave us a sample of both to try. Great service. Nothing is too much trouble.

Great ambience, busy hustle and bustle of a restaurant. Location was perfect, staff were friendly and very busy, we didn’t receive all our order due to the restaurant being so busy but the overall meal wasn’t ruined by this.

As usual food was excellent and good value for money. Service very good and staff very pleasant and helpful. Slight blip - my friend had the butternut squash dish with poached egg and she found the sauce too mustardy which spoilt it for her.

Food excellent, waiter rude and made us feel very unwelcome. We were told what time we had to vacate the table before we'd ordered our food. Toilet sinks blocked and we were told we could not wash our hands after using the facilities. Not my best experience of this restaurant, although funily enough a tip was still expected to be given!

Booked table for4 for pre opera meal. Usual warm welcome and seated by very friendly staff. We ordered our meals from the lunch and early evening menus - great chose of starters and mains, I can recommend the fish forrestiet. Excellent range of wines, coffee and teas. The food and service were excellent and we out in time for the opera. I would strongly recommend booking in advance if you wish to eat prior to goingvto the theatre because this lovely restaurant gets very busy.

I had been looking forward to this visit for quite some time. However it was exceptionally disappointing. Having arrived at the time our table was booked we were left waiting 25mins before our order was taken. Our starters were tasteless, especially considering we had chosen from the more expensive specials board. Once the main meals arrived it was clear they had been waiting under a hot lamp for quite some time. However we had also been waiting to have the starters cleared for some time also. We felt as though we couldn’t get the attention of any staff having finished our bottle of wine and unable to order more. I would understand if the restaurant was busy, but it was not. The only thing that came quickly was the bill, but even then it took some time for the server to come and take payment. It was only after we had waitied and then put our coats on to walk to a till that someone attended to us. They then scuttled off without moving the drinks bucket that was blocking myself in my seat. Although this restaurant is right around the corner from my home I surely won’t ever return. And certainly wouldn’t recommend.

Not the best experience we've had there. My aunt and uncle were visiting from Canada; being French Canadian I recommended Cote @ Cardiff Bay. However, on two occasions, my aunt was missing her spoon (soup and ice cream) and her dessert arrived late. Also, my steak was fatty and missing the garlic butter; when requested by the waiter, I was provided with a dish of freezing cold butter slices, unlike the smooth, warm butter received by the remainder of my party. Disappointed on this occasion as they are capable of much more.

Thank you so much for looking after us. Enjoyed the food especially the boudin noir special. Main courses were fab - I enjoyed my garlic butter sirloin and my partner equally enjoyed her peppercorn steak. Crepe for dessert complete with candle and singing service topped off a lovely day of celebration. Your staff were all lovely with my five year old daughter who devoured her sausage and mash. Totally recommend the Cardiff Bay Cote . Thanks again guys! Rob, Rach & Georgia xx

I think you should stop charging the gratuity of 12.5% on wine automatically. Wine is an important part of the dinning/eating experience for my family and to be surcharged for this privilege is completely wrong. Yesterday our bill was over £110 which was split 50/50 wine and food. Being charged another £7 on top of what 1s relatively expensive wine is just wrong in my opinion.
