A party of 8 of us went in the evening a couple of Saturdays ago. We all had excellent meals, excellent service in a lovely setting. We would certainly go again.

We responded to an emailed Special Offer, it was quite a while since we last visited. Service was good, the view exceptional over the bay to Penarth loads of activity on and off the water. Well worth a visit ask for a window seat.

Going to the Brasserie for the third, and hasten to add, the last time ever, I cannot disagree more with some of the previous comments. What used to be good, well cooked, well presented though somewhat pricey food for the small portions offered has deteriorated into nothing better than a poor value for money average pub grub diner. We had... More

We had prebooked a table for 6 here for a friends birthday party, had never visited here before but liked the look of the menu and the location of the restaurant. However, the food was very disappointing and poor value, the starter of Bruschetta was bland overcooked and tasteless, I had the Bayside Burger for Main which was tasy, but... More

Lovely food with a great view over Cardiff Bay. Attentive and friendly staff, a pleasant welcoming atmosphere. They even send you a £10 voucher for your birthday- I'm using mine today!!

Visited the Bayside on Saturday 28/04, We were shown to a lovely table overlooking the bay in the beautiful dining room, the service provided by the staff was first rate and NOTHING was too much trouble including a hand crafted baco foil doggie bag. Starters of Fish cake and Pate both proved to be brilliant both in presentation and flavour.... More

We booked this restaurant for a family celebration and we had a wonderful time. The menu was extensive and it was difficult to choose a dish as there was so much choice. It is not the cheapest restaurant in the area, but I have paid similar in much more average restaurants in the South east of England, and in any... More

Secluded from the bustle of the bayside boulevard and with a gorgeous view of the bay, this is a good place to end a long day. The food and service are above average, as is the price. Still, this is what one expects to pay to be elevated to a higher plane; albeit in space rather more than in quality.
