Atmosphere. This is a purpose build place in a shopping centre where everything looks new and fresh, but still l think this place lacks in any or much character. First impressions. Two of us came here one evening just to try this place and was met by a very unhappy male member of staff who looked rather like shaggy from Scooby doo. He handed us a menu, if l was a potential customer walking past l wouldn't have bothered going in as all staff looked miserable & depressed. This is still quite a new place and the restaurant area looked rather empty but still that didn't put us off. I saw on their menu that they served ice cream floats so l ordered two root beer ice cream floats. Around fifteen minutes had passed and was told that they didn't even have root beer. Overall not a well run place too many dizzy staff that fail to communicate with exact other.

This Mcdonald's is the only one in the centre to be pretty much 24hrs which, for someone without a…read moreroutine sleeping pattern and an occasional shameful craving for a Big Mac, is ideal. The quality of this one is massively dependent on the time you go in. Kicking out time for pubs/clubs in the centre can overcrowd it and bring the quality of the food down even lower than it already is. 95% of the time though, you will get exactly what you expect from any Mcdonald's. The sheer amount of drunk people congregating in one place over the weekend can be a problem, and I have seen quite a few nasty fights break out, although that's hardly Mcdonald's fault . Fairplay aswell to the staff for staying friendly with every customer as I have seen them have to put up with a fair bit of abuse from certain types of drunk neanderthal. There are two full time bouncers on the doors on most busy nights to help counter-act any problems though and this seems to calm the place down a bit. Welcome to Cardiff!

The best way to sum up Vanilla Rooms is it's very posh, daahling. A few of my girls and I came here…read morefor martinis one Friday evening before heading off to Ten Feet Tall. With the obligatory mood lighting and accompanying ambient music, Vanilla Rooms does everything right in order to establish an elegant and exclusive impression, but there's something about its atmosphere I find strangely off-putting. It's one of those bars where you feel horribly out of place if you laugh out loud. I know not everywhere is like Burger King, but with only a few people scattered around not saying much, the experience would have been a bit dull were it not for the charming company. I will say that we each enjoyed very strong dirty gin martinis, which were the perfect complement to our gossip-fuelled discussions (which is another reason I don't like drinking in too-quiet establishments - people can overhear your conversations!). Admittedly, it'd be a fantastic venue for a private party, as Vanilla Rooms is a modern and sophisticated setting that would comfortably accommodate around 30 of your closest friends.

I was invited to a wedding at the Park House that turned out to be a very lovely occasion…read more Usually this is a members only club, I'm not quite sure how you end up becoming a member but I guess it involves having to have more money than sense. But anyway it was perfect for the wedding party because its pretty small and keeps everything intimate and friendly while the food really was spectacular. It was a winter wedding and they got lots of pictures next to the open fires and things like that. I can imagine rich people enjoying the lounges and feeling comfort in the old traditional decor that reminds me a bit of something from Harry Potter. I can't imagine what its like to be a private member, but it was a beautiful wedding.

The Louis restaurant is a funny one. I find it quite amusing that I am writing the first review of…read morethis restaurant as it is located on the St Mary Street which is one of the busiest streets in Cardiff. I am left wondering if most Yelpers have simply passed it by or feel that it does not deserve a worthy review. From the outside the restaurant looks a little dated but that is something I like about it. The canopy on which the restaurant name is located itself looks like it has been there for decades. But, like I said, this is a feature that I like. As you enter inside you will find a reception and here you will be greeted by the friendly staff who will direct you to a suitable table. Again, on the inside the restaurant appears quite dated. The toilet is a bit dingy and the tables appear to have seen many years of visitors. What is important however is the food they serve here. My favourite meal to eat here is omelette and chips. They never leave me waiting too long and the prices are really good value for money. For the sake of a refurbishment I could see this place being one of the most frequented restaurants along this street but I'm sure most people are put off and simply pass by. This is not going to be everyone's cup of tea but don't let appearances deceive you. I actually like coming here because when I am inside I don't actually feel like I'm in modern day Cardiff anymore, I feel like I've travelled back in time about 20 years or so.

It felt as if they were like: yea sure you can order what you want but we'll serve you what we think you should eat! The food isn't the best to be honest, if you're in the mood for a nice burger then there are better options in my opinion. The two stars are for the price (it was reasonable), and the atmosphere. But frankly, I wouldn't go back again.

I am American and a sucker for diners back home (especially in New Jersey) so when I discover Americana like this, I always have to check it out. So my daughter and I did just that (she goes to the local university). I ordered one of the burgers which, I must say, was pretty darn good! She also had one and loved it just as much. They were reasonably priced as well. I don't remember the prices but did take a photo of the menu, so you can check it out here. The desserts were also good - and fattening, especially the milkshakes and cheese cake. Sure, it was an American style diner and for the 45 minutes or so that we were there, I could have imagined being back home. Regardless, it was a nice break and a nice little slice of the USA for homesick Yanks and anybody wanting so decent grub.
