We had such a fantastic time at our bottomless brunch! We were looked after by Lynn, who was absolutely wonderful — so attentive, warm, and genuinely made us feel so welcome. Her lovely smile and friendly energy really added to the experience. The rest of the team were also brilliant; everyone went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of and having a great time. The service throughout was excellent, and I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more. We’ll definitely be back!

I visited for the first time last week for the tapas deal for January and it definitely won’t be my last visit. The service was a little slow to start off with but it was incredibly busy esp for a Friday night in January and our server Francesco was so lovely and very informative. The dishes were stunning and we tried so many my fav being the Brazilian fried chicken and the shredded chipotle beef tacos and the hot honey chicken tacos they were divine! Will Definetly be back and I look forward to trying even more of the menu. Thank you for a lovely evening

It was my birthday so they gave me a free shot, all of the staff are lovely so are the bartenders!! The drinks are amazing and so are the food!!

Lyn was amazing and her service was perfect. The wrong size meal was given (I didn’t even realise) but Lyn did and she sorted it straight away. She was so attentive and personable. I wish every server was more like Lyn. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

Great overall experience from Cardiff Mermaid Quay, specifically Lauretta and Katya. Both very attentive to dietary needs of us and our infant child, polite and friendly with us. Nice atmosphere with lot of interesting fixtures and fittings. Tasty and varied selection of food all cooked freshly in good time. Really enjoyed the nachos sharer, tapas selection and fajitas. Great value too with selection of offers available.

Wow wow wow! What a meal. Arrived on a busy theatre night. We were seated by Lyn and served by her. What a credit to your company. I are here 2 weeks ago and had an awful meal and terrible service but this was a breathe of fresh air. Lyn is incredibly friendly, hospitable and made everything seem effortless. The cocktails were delicious, food was fantastic. Recommend the ribeye. We did miss the prawns and first round of drinks was make incorrectly but this was rectified within minutes. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and please visit when Lyn is working. She is honestly fantastic. As a restaurant manager I wish I had 10 Lyn’s in my restaurant! Las Iguanas look after Lyn. She’s a diamond.
