Not good for vegetarians 25th October 2009

We ate from the 'Little Dishes' menu. The restaurant would have got a better review if we had stuck to the carnivore's dishes, with some olives and hummus as starters. The olives were very good! Service was mainly efficient and friendly, the wine was very good. Our little dishes of venison, duck etc were tasty and enjoyable, and fish cakes were quite good.

But my daughter's vegetarian dishes were both poor. The glamorgan sausages were like a wet, deep fried potato croquette with a hint of cheese, none of the texture a sausage should have and the risotto was a very wet mess tasting overwhelmingly of garlic, you couldn't detect any mushroom flavour as promised. She left most of both dishes and I would have done the same after sampling them.

We informed the water who was responsive and told us he had told the chef; the bill on inspection was found to be slightly reduced but we were not informed of this. My companion had also chosen one vegetarian dish which was a very basic salad with little of the supposed pear, walnut or blue cheese and would certainly have not satisfied the appetite as part of a vegetarian meal.

We also waited over 40 minutes after ordering our dessert, and had to repeat a request for water.

On this basis, and at over £30 each, I would not choose to eat here again - shame as it is just about walking distance from home.

What a pile of pap 'tonton' wrote about. This restaurant is excellent value for money. We ate there in May this year and had a great night. The staff were lovely and attentative, and our meal was superb. I had a mix of their 'Little Dishes', like tapas but slightly larger portions, I had a lovely pea & mint risotto with patatas bravas, lamb koftas and king prawns, my partner had the main course of lamb, it was all delicious and presented well. They told me that they do 3 for 2 on the little dishes at lunch, and they range from 4 to 6 pounds. A great great night and will definately be going back.

First, the menu is very limited but some meals sound interesting. However, when they arrive in your plate they don't deliver what you were expected. The chef lacks a couple of skills and techniques to produce a very good food. Because the quality is not there, the price is not right and the menu is clearly overpriced.
It is possible to eat the same food for less in Cardiff or if you want to pay this price, you can eat better, just go to Bully's 100 m from Mulberry.
