Food was fine, portions not huge. Had to wait 20 minutes ( was told there would be a wait as made to order) when it came it was over cooked. Service ok. Nice cosy atmosphere.

Our first visit to this Penarth restaurant. Have been to the one in Canton many times. Food really good, big fan of the chicken livers. Everyone really enjoyed both courses. Excellent wine and good recommendations from the Waiter. I ask for our main course to be delayed because my husband returned earlier from work and headed over to Penarth to join us. Very accommodating with this request. We all look forward to returning.

Great food. Unbearably noisy: screeching drunken women encouraged by Le patron himself. Needs some material for acoustic softening.
