My Wife, Son and I went to Demiros on Sunday the 23rd of August as it was recommended by staff at the Dr Who Exhibition - - This place is worse than awful - rude staff - no service - when a waiter eventually arrived 20 mins after we where shown to the table I explained that we would order food after we had ordered drinks he stormed off muttering something and never came back - after complaining to the first waiter he muttered something about being very busy - busy my backside the place was half empty with waiters running around like busy fools - I cannot comment on the food as we did not get any and we left 30mins after we arrived ? Stay away

Avoid! 20th February 2009

This place is awful. Very expensive, even by Bay standards, and they have ridiculous cabaret music performances so everyone has to shout and this gives the feeling of being in a loud bar or something.

In trying to please everyone with the diverse menu they simply prove to be jacks of all trades and masters of none.

Good food, different view of service... 22nd August 2008

At some point during the early part of 2004 De Alto changed its name to Demiro's. We're not sure whether the change of name also heralded a change of management, but the restaurant continues to serve up Mediterranean food in modern, stylish surroundings.

Demiro's is located alongside Roald Dahl Plass in Cardiff Bay. Its location makes it very popular during the summer months, especially as there is an outdoor seating area.

The food here is very good, with prices about average for a restaurant located in Cardiff Bay: around £10 a main course and £14 a bottle of wine. You can choose from a large range of pizzas, pastas and other Mediterranean dishes. All portions are generously sized and well prepared.

Unfortunately for us the bad points outweighed the good. Cheesy waiters hang around in the doorway, enticing people in from the walkway outside – even if it's already busy enough inside. Their philosophy is obviously to serve guests as quickly as possible in order to increase profits, but that is when mistakes are made...such as white wine arriving instead of red, main courses arriving before starters and the bill being offered just as you swallow your last mouthful of dinner.

Also be aware that the Mexican style band (complete with accordian, maracas and sombreros), haven't just come into the restaurant for a quick ditty...oh no...they are there as part of your evening's entertainment. Great if you're in the party mood but rather irritating if you're there to relax and unwind.

For chocolate lovers there is a particularly interesting dish on the dessert menu...a chocolate fountain. It's a bit like a huge chocolate fondue, into which you dip pieces of skewered fruit and mashmallow. It all looks great until you notice the occasional young kiddie run past and wash their hands in the fountain :(

Good food, but we'll give it a miss next time!
