    Family Sunday lunch last week, absolutely stunning. The Crispy hens egg was truly a taste sensation. The beef was perfectly cooked, would definitely recommend. Dom and Calum the font of house team were fabulous!

    Superb meal dining outdoors as Paco (small plates menu) Food was great, we also had a couple of bottles of red wine that we really enjoyed. Loved the little courtyard and we managed to keep dry and warm with blankets being offered. Service was really friendly and professional.

    I had such high hopes having heard amazing things but for the money spent, it was just a bit average. I shelled out for the venison which was hard to cut and a bit chewy, and whilst staff were lovely, service was slow at times (albeit we were a big table). I don’t go out to eat much anymore, so when I do, I like going to smaller places which I know add a premium, but this was just a disappointment for nearly £50pp I’m afraid.

    Unfortunately for the staff and the customers. A table of absolute boors decided to have an " I can out shout you competition between each other"" This totally ruined an absolutely wonderful meal. I only hope they are not regular customers.... Even the other tables, took their desserts outside. Such a shame for such a wonderful restaurant. Would I come here again? Absolutely! 💪🤓👍

    Came here for date night and we were not disappointed! Absolutely delicious food, the flavours were perfectly balanced, the meat was perfectly cooked and we practically rolled out the door! We will definitely be back.

    What a lovely little place tucked away in Dinas Powys. We arrived at 19:00 and there were only two tables taken. By 20:30 they were all full. There was one walk in but other than that I would suggest you book to save disappointment. The food was delicious and well worth a visit.

    Lovely little restaurant, with a nice atmosphere and a good wine list. The service was excellent with fabulous attention to detail. The food was delicious, I had the egg starter and the beef for my main. Too full for pudding this time but they looked and smelt amazing. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

    This is a lovely place! We enjoyed their Sunday menu of two courses for £18.50. Only around five options per course but a good range. Both courses were very rich so great for a treat.

    Food and welcome absolutely lovely but it was absolutely freezing in the restaurant which did spoil it a little. Also, hard to find so better signage could be helpful. We had the mushrooms to start and Beef as mains and it was delicious. The gentleman serving us was lovely so we would definitely go again but maybe dress warmer and go in a warmer season.

    Every mouthful was delicious, was an amazing treat for me and my partner, thank you so much!

    You'd be hard-pressed to find a better Sunday Lunch than that of The Humble Onion. It is absolutely outstanding and the “Mothers Gravy” is what makes the dinner extra special. Evening Menu is also top quality and the Salted Caramel Panna cotta is the perfect dessert to finish on. Small, intimate restaurant with a little courtyard which is lovely on a summers day. Service is excellent and staff are always friendly. Would also recommend trying their other restaurant “Alium” down in Barry.

    Direct in heaven.We where there with our whole family of five. Haven't had such a friendly service and delicious food for a long time... We had different meals and all of them have been overwhelming delicious! We are in holidays here and will return once more to have another pice of paradise...

    Extra treat to lunch here after long 3rd lockdown. We sat out in the pretty south facing courtyard on a sunny afternoon with wisteria in flower and as a canopy a low hanging weeping birch. Small plates options together with focaccia and chips. Our favourites were the scallops then the scorched sprouting broccoli and sriracha mayo side. Bill for 2 added up to what to us is a special treat and it really was. Helped by a friendly and skilled young waiter.

    Absolutely love this place. Have visited multiple times and it is our go to if we want comforting but high quality food. The staff are always friendly, and the food is probably the highest quality I've had in Cardiff.

👍👍 Very friendly, helpful and polite staff. Food is great, it's a cafe breakfast so it's not Michelin star but it tastes great, it's hot and there's plenty of it. Decent coffee and drinks. The only minor moan is that's it's bloody freezing in the front near the door, I'll be going again but I'll try to...
