Just popped in for a snack and coffee. Only had Hallomi Frys but they were delicious, and the coffee was good and strong. Stopped on return journey for another coffee before going back to hotel. Very quiet for time of day so not much atmosphere but for us it was nice and quiet with good views.

Great pub with great choice of Samuel Smiths beers and lagers. Pub grub food menus. Friendly and efficient staff.
Great location, no sports screens or taped music. Dog and child friendly

I feel like some of these reviews are unfair. There are criticisms that the pub doesn't have a music license - so? Who goes to a pub to listen to music. All Sam Smiths pubs don't have music, it's part of the aesthetic. You go there to chat, not to shout over the speakers. They say this on their website. Also, it's a proper public house, not a free house so they only do Sam Smiths products and associated products. This means Sam Smiths lager, bitter, crisps etc. I didn't know this until I went there and Googled it so I can understand why some people would rate this low, if they were expecting San Miguel on tap and Sam Smith on Radio 1. I will say however that it is expensive. More than £1 per pint more than the other bars in Cardiff Bay. I'd say try it out, but don't make it your regular unless you're a millionaire.
Edit: still hasn't changed from my original review

Did not eat here but the staff were very friendly and professional. Sadly, we were only visiting Cardiff for the day, but we would definitely visit again

Called on here onbthe weekend was really quiet but welcomed dogs and friendly staff will definitely call again, looked clean and tidy with a nice array of food and beers (not your normal named types however)

Welcoming staff. Quiet and clean. Not many in at 1pm Saturday. Lovely earl grey. Had the 3 sharing dishes for £18. Very nice. Highly recommend

Nice place.
Only does weird beers though.
Would be a 5* if they had something mainstream in.
Staff where lovely.

We were so happy to find this restaurant/bar quite late on a Sunday afternoon. We had our small dog with us so we weren't confident on finding a suitable place to eat. We were welcomed at the door and seated. We enjoyed a Sunday roast and even the dog received a small bowl of meat.
Food quality was excellent, the veggies being cooked to perfection, not over-cooked.
The dessert were delicious too.
Thank you team Waterguard!

Banging place for a quiet pint or meal with the family/dogs.
Been a few times, from the pie to burgers and the Sunday roast to the ice cream, we've never had a bad meal there.
Drinks are all good too, cider to larger it's very reasonably priced and good quality.
The views out the front and back are nice, facilities are all very accessible, play ground outside for the kids. Family and pet friendly atmosphere.
Owners are nice too, very friendly. Never seen my daughter try to hug a stranger on first meeting them, really took to the manageress.
Could go there as a 1st date or a 50th.
