GFC burger is solid, well-seasoned chicken and good portion. Loaded fries are decent, toppings change weekly.

The team was really nice and on it. My order got mixed up a bit, but they sorted it out super fast and were still smiling. Made the whole thing chill.

The cocktail menu really caught my eye. I tried the &#39;Garden Spritz&#39; &ndash; it was so pretty and balanced, with fresh herbs. Really lifted the whole dinner.

Upstairs brasserie is the move. The duck confit was spot on &mdash; crispy skin, tender meat, and the jus was just right. A nice step up from the cafe vibe downstairs.

The burgers are fantastic, but I really love the vibe here. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot to eat.

Love how light and airy it feels in here. The split-level floor and wooden ceiling give it a really open, welcoming vibe. Just a nice place to sit and unwind.

Came for the weekend live music, stayed for the drinks. The house red was surprisingly decent for the price, really complemented the laid-back vibe. Music was a bit loud for conversation, but that&#39;s fine for a casual night.

The curry was spot on, and the pizza had a nice crust. But the real standout for me was the space itself &ndash; high ceilings, lots of natural light, and those big comfy booths. Just a really pleasant place to sit for a while.

The team were so nice about our last-minute booking change! Really put us at ease for a catch-up with friends.

A decent spot right by the Taff Trail, very handy for cyclists. The beer garden is nice when the sun&#39;s out. Food was pretty good, though my chips were a touch cold. Would pop in again.

The tasting menu was a delight. I really appreciated how fresh and vibrant the ingredients were in each course. The wine pairings suggested were thoughtful, though I would have loved a non-alcoholic pairing option too.

Robyn was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The service felt genuinely friendly and warm, which really added to the evening. A lovely experience.

The combo easily fed four of us. Food was nice, but the cake had that fridge-chill to it. Their house red was a decent match though.

Seafood linguine was spot on, pasta cooked just right. The wholetail scampi was a nice touch. Staff were really friendly, even turned the music down a bit when we asked. Made for a relaxed evening.

A nice little pub with decent weekend music. They do karaoke and quizzes on weeknights, which is a fun touch. The atmosphere is pretty good. A solid spot for a casual drink.

Been here a few times. They do decent mid-week deals, like 40% off mains. Just a tip &ndash; ask them to bring your main out hot, not after you&#39;ve finished your starter. Makes a difference.

Been here a few times now. What keeps me coming back is the guide&#39;s storytelling - the way he explains the history of the place just pulls you in. It never gets old.

The hanging kebab was a fun presentation. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted.

The food here is amazing and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good meal without breaking the bank.

The steak was exactly medium-rare as I asked. The peppercorn sauce was rich and had a nice kick. Veggies were crisp and well-seasoned. A solid, straightforward meal.

Been coming here for years, and the burger deals on certain days are still a solid reason to swing by. Portions are generous, which is nice. The kids&#39; menu is a decent size too, keeps the little one happy. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for that.

Food came quick and tasted good. Drinks were decently priced, especially for the city centre. Not a bad spot to grab a bite.

Been coming here for years. The calamari is always spot on - never rubbery, just right. That&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.

Lovely spot for a meal with our pup. The steak was cooked just right, and I really appreciated how fresh the side salad tasted. The greens were crisp and the tomatoes were ripe. A nice, simple touch that made the meal feel wholesome.

Service is much quicker now, and the place feels cleaner. The new team is definitely making a difference.

Popped in for a quick drink, they had treats for the dog at the bar which was a nice touch. Staff were really sound, managed to squeeze us in even though it was packed.

The drinks are always perfectly chilled, which is a nice touch. Steph and Wojtek are really friendly.
