Fabulous evening at the outstanding Nook on 5 Having heard all about the restaurant we were looking forward to experiencing it ourselves. We were blown away by both the food and service. The restaurant itself has been beautifully decorated with a fantastic view of the prettiest part of town. We will definitely return

The food is good, but in my view overpriced. Two of us had three courses, a single drink each and some sparkling water and it was £200. My husband had duck and I had steak - nothing out of the ordinary but over £30 for the steak. The service is too efficient. Whisking our plates away, the starter coming on top of the amuse bouche - we were in and out of there in an hour and it all felt a bit rushed and impersonal. Not sure I’d go again.

Trendy but comfortable decor and fabulous views. Great to have seating options. Food was fantastic, service efficient and friendly. Best option was an impressive, interesting selection of wines by the glass. Not your bog standard offerings which meant we tried a different wine with each course…such a treat.

I thought the menu was limited as there was no Venison left and we were the first in the restaurant that evening I was disappointed There was only serlion steak or chicken as a meat alternative I opted for the fish but I wasn’t over impressed unfortunately I ordered the chips with parmigiana but they were just chips with a blob of mayonnaise and grated parmigiana so they chips were not coated as I would have expected The starter was lovely for both of us but I think there should be more choice of meats I was hoping that duck was on the menu but sadly not The evening itself was excellent attention to detail was brilliant I would recommend to friends but I think the menu needs improvement

Best dover sole ever. The restaurant is up on the 4th? floor. Lift goes straight there - no other stops. The views from the large windows would have been also best ever, if it hadn't been raining. Value? A trifle on the expensive side, but worth it for the above mentioned.

Four friends came for special birthday celebration. We had a fantastic time. Staff were professional and friendly. Food was all excellent. (Sunday roasts) Travelled from Cardiff and well worth the trip. Especially lucky to have a sunny day to admire the views.
