    First of all the 2 Staff who looked after us all evening where amazing, thank you ladies. 3/11/2021 7pm. You literally made the night. The food was great. The Mrs loved her ribeye. Ive had more tender T-Bone elsewhere but it was of high quality. I think I'd try another steak next time. The sides where really good and I'd say the Mac and cheese could be a bit thicker in terms of cheese and sauce. The desserts were amazing I had the brownie. Thanks for letting us switch up the ice-cream as opposed to the menu offering. The decor was great and the staff were very knowledgeable including the lady who had only been in the job 2 weeks. Good for you two. It's nice to get a bit of back story and history on a restaurant. All in all a great night and good food. We will be back. It was a unique experience being so few people dining in the restaurant but we were able to explorer the whole place and interact better with the staff. Felt very VIP. THANK YOU. 👌

    Attentative, friendly service. Food was great quality and tasted amazing. Would definitely go again. Love the art themes around the place which makes it more unique. Went for a treat as a birthday meal. Would love to go on an evening where there was an event on next time.

    Friendly staff who were attentive, thanks to the mention of the local food festival we went on Sunday and had a great day. Food arrived quickly, mash was a bit lumpy otherwise the rib and sauce was nice and my friend enjoyed her burger. Can’t recommend the cocktails we had, they weren’t very strong and very sharp, we left after finishing our meal to have more elsewhere. Great design to the restaurant, artistic and fun. Overall good lunch and experience and would return.

    Absolute divine food, sirloin steak was no doubt 10/10, had onion rings & slaw which sounds boring but compare to many places Again 10/10. Desert, definitely have to try crème brûlée cheesecake 10/10. Good choices for children. Not much of an atmosphere due to it being mid week and quiet but I didn’t come here for that as long as the food ticks all the boxes which it did. Highly recommend. Thanks.

    Lovely quirky themed restaurant. Went there for lunch the staff are friendly, service was quick although it was quiet at the time. The food was really tasty with generous portions. Returning for Father’s Day!

    Came here for an anniversary dinner and was very pleasantly surprised. It was a very quiet evening , literally us and one other table so service was very fast and attentive. Both myself and my partner ordered a flat iron steak, medium-rare which was very flavoursome, slightly chewy in places but that didn't take away from the enjoyment of the steaks. Sides were hand cut chips, hassleback potatoes and the beef brisket mac and cheese, both the chips and potatoes were tasty, some of them quite crispy but if anything we enjoyed them more for that fact. The mac and cheese was very tasty, probably one of the nicest mac and cheeses we've had to date. Overall, very good food, lovely atmosphere, very welcoming, friendly staff and interesting decor! I didn't catch our servers name but thank you for taking the time to chat with us and recommend bar's in the area, this was very appreciated as being visitors that were unfamiliar with the area.

    Such an awesome experience. Food was delicious! Had the mushroom starter, sirloin steak (so tasty) and the best cheesecake I've ever had! Our server was lovely, sorry can't remember your name but you had partially green hair! Really friendly and relaxed! Will definitely be back again soon!

    steak was lovely though a bit tough considering i ordered a sirloin. portions disappointing as i paid £4 for a small basket of sweet potato fries. the atmosphere is beautiful but doesn’t make up for the overpriced menu £2 is way too much to ask for a tiny pot of sauce.

    Been here with my girlfriend for our anniversary. It is a cozy place with a very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was delicious and very well cooked! Two things I would like to see improved is the following: the menu could be enriched with more dishes and it would be nicer for the staff to not assume whether the person who is with you is a friend or your partner. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    One of the best restaurants in Cardiff for great steaks, highly recommended. Friendly and welcoming staff, great service, and excellent amenities.

    Me and my partner went today and had Pheobie (if I'm spelling that correctly) she was so kind and attentive making sure we had everything we needed, so friendly and professional would come back for service like that, the food was phenomenal, can tell this menu has really been considered carefully to make sure everything they are making is at the highest quality possible. Will definitely be recommending this to all my friends and coming back many times again. The interior and atmosphere of the whole venue also leaves you never shy if somewhere to look at and be interested by in the restaurant. Best meal I've had in a long long time

    Unusual decor we sat and ate our food in a huge Darlek! Service was fabulous, very friendly, and couldn't do enough for you. Food was beautiful. Onion rings are lush.

    Great experience, we occupied the unique dalek area. The staff was friendly and professional. The steak was tasty and the cornish ipa was nice. We didn't have dessert on this occasion so we will be back to try it.

    Great food. Great atmosphere, Great Restaurant, wondering why I've used the word Great 3 times ... Because it was great, if I'm ever back in Cardiff I will definitely be returning here, staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the Manager is a great guy too, however as proven on my visit .... Behind a great man stands a team of even better Women ❤️

    Great food with all steaks cooked perfectly. Excellent service with friendly attentive service. Reasonably priced for quality of food delivered and loved the decor.

    I have for just over a month now been toying with the idea of leaving a review. I am not one for normally leaving a negative but with hindsight I cannot in good conscience stand by knowing that others may suffer the same fate as I. I should have known from the tacky sign that all would not be as advertised, we arrived to a half empty restaurant and after a couple of minutes of being left standing at the entrance we were seated at a central table. Whilst reviewing the menu I enquired to our less than helpful waitress about the possibility of being seated at one of the empty booths however I was told they were all fully booked (interesting as you cannot book a specific table apparently). More so interesting as by the time we left some 90 or so minutes later, many of these 'fully booked booths had remained empty... no doubt from people who saw the light and decided not to dine at this joke of an establishment. Onto the service, as previously mentioned the waitress was less than helpful, not friendly and seemed to perform the most basic of tasks grudgingly. The food itself was average at best and despite having been to several steak restaurants since this one still stands out a clean mile as by far the worst I've had in a long time. Flavourless cow, lazily seasoned with salt and pepper, accompanying sauces in stingy pots no longer even warm, sides that you would assume had been microwaved and a general auto of poor service all around. For all the hype I was extremely disappointed and will never consider eating here again let along step foot inside such a joke. For whomever it is that own this place I feel genuinely sorry that your staff and chefs have done you such a total injustice as the rumours I heard from pre covid were of something totally different.

    The service I had from all the members of staff there was very good. The table the 8 of us was situated at was good and it has a great atmosphere. The sota burger I had tasted really nice but the dessert I had was delicious (Creme Brulee Cheesecake)

    Fantastic place, great food and atmosphere. Staff were lovely and really attentive.

    My wife to be and I came here for a meal as a part of our honeymoon for the wedding that didn't get to happen, and we could not have spent an evening in a better restaurant. The staff were lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Service was quick and we never felt like we were waiting for anything. The food though was something else - completely. We ordered 2 starters to come out with the main, and were amazed at the quality of the food. Everything was cooked to perfection. This ranks up there with some of the best steakhouses we have visited - to the point where we discussed coming to South Wales from Oxford just for the food from steak of the art again! The decor is amazing as well - totally quirky, and it gives something to talk about besides how good the food is!

    I’m a bit biased but I love this place! I carved the Charlie booth 8 years ago. The whole place is an experience, not just a restaurant but an art gallery too! Fantastic food and lovely staff.

  • 4/5 Jake B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice inside very nice staff excellent food steak was decent had better for cheaper tbh n I was still hungry after £27 not including drinks but was a nice dining experience just could of done with more chips I'm not a fat fella either like 70kg piss wet through just need more than 5 chips, I'd consider going back if I'm ever in Cardiff again but wouldn't rush back o one more thing the steak was cooked exactly as asked

  • 5/5 jade c. 2 years ago on Google
    Best steak I've ever had, fantastic service too. I highly recommend

  • 5/5 Jade Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning place with themed tables that are sure to make you laugh. The steak (mine was a rump medium rare) is the best I have had in a long time. Well worth the visit with a cocktail or two.

  • 4/5 Chris W. 2 years ago on Google
    First time going here, so didn't quite know what to expect. Quirky decoration, which gives you plenty to look at. I particularly liked the table set inside a dalek. As it was just the two of us, we were (understandably) shown to a standard table as the tables in the "art" are bigger tables that sit a minimum of 4. The table was pleasant, although there was only one napkin and my place settng was directly on the table which isn't ideal in the current climate. It's possible that the one napkin had been taken by another table as opposed to being missed when the table was being set, but this should have been noticed when searing any guests and the seeing should have been refreshed as a matter of course as the cutlery had been in contact with the table surface regardless. There was a decent wine list on the menu. They only had one of the two Malbecs available, but most places only carry one Malbec anyway, so this was hardly an issue. The portion of sweet potato fries was bigger than the portion of normal fries which was surprising. Sweet potato usually costs more and you get a smaller portion, here it costs more, but you actually get a decent portion size for the money. Now onto the steak, the main reason people go to a steak house. The flavour of the actually meat was superb, but the cuts themselves contained quite a lot of fat, even in the fillet. The butter was nice, but had obviously come straight out of the fridge and was so cold it was cooling the meat, rather than melting over it. As a comparison to Miller and Carter (probably the closest steak house to here), the cuts of meat here are more fatty and chewy, but considerably more flavoursome. Overall, I quite enjoyed it, so would probably return.

    Amazing staff who were extremely complimentary and helpful having booked this meal for our honeymoon. The food from start to finish was absolutely fantastic too, a must visit if in Cardiff.

  • 3/5 Darren E. 2 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed been going here for a few years not been in the last year or so because of covid. We have always had an amazing meal here but today was not so good. Starters was very nice. We both had ribeye which was very bland the chips wasn't like they used to be proper chunky chips used to be delicious not sure what has happened. Spent about £100 gutted we won't be going back

    My friends and I are regulars at the Bristol branch and we love it here just as much. The staff are lovely and really helped to make my friend's birthday special by lighting cake candles and bringing it out as a surprise. The food is always good. The mushroom and brie starter is incredible.

  • 5/5 Natalie P. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was next level. The food was amazing and is a must for any steak lover! The venue is wonderfully quirky and the staff were attentive and nothing was too much. Highly recommended and can't wait to go again
