"My partner and I ate here last night. Wow, wow, wow. I just don't know why this place is not packed out every night? Italian food, well cooked by someone who is genuinely proud of what he produces. From the moment we walked through the...door the atmosphere was relaxed. The service was welcoming and warm, I felt like I was walking into somebodies home. The menu has pasta dishes as well as chicken and seafood. My partner and I shared an antipasti starter and then had chicken with mushrooms and breaded chicken. Both dishes were served with a slice of garlic bread and the most wonderful Italian frittata. The chicken on both dishes was tender and perfectly cooked. For desert we shared a chocolate and raspberry tart. The chocolate was dense and creamy with the raspberry pieces tangy and sharp. All perfectly balanced with a good bitter espresso on the side. This place looks like a coffee shop from the outside which may make people think this is not a fully fledged restaurant. The staff are friendly and really know about what they cook. The wine list is perfect and not too expensive. Try the Sicilian beer too. Don't hesitate, take the plunge book a table you will not be disappointed."

"I had an incredible dining experience at Red Fort Caerleon! The only regret I have is not taking any photos. The service from the moment we walked in was exceptional. They took the time to explain the various starters, spice levels for the main course, and recommended dishes based on our preferences. I can't wait to try the sharer stack next time! The spices in the main course were perfectly balanced, and even the Naan bread was superb. I highly recommend trying out this restaurant. The vegetarian options were also excellent."

"This place absolutely blows the competition out of the water. I didn’t believe the reviews before my first visit, but now I do. It’s not just somewhere to eat, it’s theatre and magic too. The welcome, the layout, the tableware, the glassware, the food, the drink, the environmental ethos, the location and the service are all 5 star. My husband is an omnivore and I am vegan and it’s hard to find somewhere we both really enjoy, but Gem 42 is one. I also don’t drink alcohol and was delighted to see that they have not 1 but 4 homemade kombuchas on offer! I love that you are asked to order in advance to reduce waste, and that their food is seasonal and a lot of it grown by them. I can’t think of anything negative to say about this place, except that I wish it was in Cardiff!"

"The food was good, but the service was terrible. We had to wait a long time for our drinks to come with our meal, and it was clear that they had forgotten about them. After asking again, they finally brought them over. We also had to wait a long time for dessert, which they had also forgotten about. It took a really long time to pay the bill as well. We spoke to the owner at the bar to complain, but there was no apology. It's a shame because we have had great meals here before with much better service. Meal type: Dinner."

"My husband told me he had booked that morning for us to have Sunday Lunch at The Green for 1pm When we arrived it was very busy and everyone had booked for a Christmas lunch, all the tables were laid with festive decor crackers we were offered a glass of preseco or orange juice. We had a beautiful lunch followed by Guylian Cheesecake for myself Salted Caramel gateau for my husband this was also followed with Mince pies and tea or coffee. There was also some back ground music with a girl singing various songs which was nice. We drank I very nice bottle of wine with our meal which was Barefoot white Zinfandel Rose which was so nice I have bought a bottle since. Couldn’t fault the complete experience the staff as always are friendly always helpful. We would definitely do this again or attend any of the events The Green has to offer. It’s also a great cafe for a snack or a lovely cake coffee"
