About First Floor Restaurant Cardiff

This one is a mixed bag, and worth going in with eyes open. It's an upstairs space with a genuinely pleasant atmosphere — the bar area gets particular praise, and one visitor found it calm enough to sit and work in for an afternoon, which tells you something about the noise level on a quiet day. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, so the practical basics are covered. Where it wobbles is the kitchen and the service: small plates have landed short of what the menu promised and felt steep for around a tenner, requests haven't always been followed, and the air conditioning has been out on hot days, which is no fun with a warm toddler. If you're after somewhere pretty for a drink and a light bite, it works; go elsewhere if you need food to arrive fast and right.
