Now generally the standard of food in South Wales is good and it is very rare that I do find a restaurant which is worthy of a poor review. Having visited the Ynyscynon on a previous occasion and had a very poor meal indeed I felt that perhaps it was a one off and a review at this time was inappropriate so I had to return for a second time. The Ynyscynon having previously known as The Golden Post now has an Indian Restaurant on one side and a Pub restaurant on the other side. Whilst the glorious smell from the Indian side should have persuaded me to enter there my other guests were not indian eaters so we decided on the pub side..... Boy was I wrong again..... I decided that I would have a chicken starter which turned out to be unavailable and therefore I opted for a prawn coctail and to be honest that was OK but you can't really go wrong with a prawn cocktail. There was no soup for starters and when asked about that they replied that never have and it is only available on a Sunday Lunch. Perhaps a few tins from Asda may not go amiss. Main Course was a great T bone steak cooked medium to rare and whilst the steak and the chip portions were good the steak was the opposite. It was well done and would be better placed on a sole of my shoes and OK perhaps the chef didn't hear it right and they did say sorry and that they would replace it. Then two minutes later my steak was return and I could see why it was returned in two minutes as it was just shown the grill on two side and when I cut into it it was very very rare and I am sure I heare it mooooo ...... When I spoke to the waitress again and said that it was very rare she said well that's how my brother likes it and he likes it medium rare. To which I replied that beleve it or not I am not her brother..... I decided not to have any dessert myself but the people on the other table complained that their cheesecake was very dry and a little stale. So all in all I guess my second visit was not a great success and to be honest I do not think that I will be returning for a third (unless it is to the Indian restaurant next door). So on reflection I would only be able to give 2 out of 10 for the food as they did do the prawn cocktail OK.

Yummy!!!!

Would recommend. Had a fantastic meal and the service was impeccable. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience.

the corporation is a very friendly pub the landlady is very much involved in the comfort of the customers it one of the places i would most definitely recommend for a good night out the customers are friendly and the staff

Four of us visited this restaurant for a birthday night out with a friend. We found it very pricey for what we got. The food was very bland for an Italian restaurant, I ordered mushrooms in a creamy sauce to start with and they tasted like tinned mushrooms to me, and the sauce had no flavour at all. My husband asked for a well done steak which came dripping with blood. The service wasn't the best either, we were just left for most of the evening, nobody checking to order us more drinks etc. Would definitely never go there again, and we are not actually fussy people!! The tattoo covered hands of the owner (or we presumed he was the owner anyway) were not too classy either!

Never been disappointed in all the years I have dined there. The new look to the restaurant gives a very calm feel to the atmosphere. The staff are always a pleasure to see, best curry restaurant in Newport by a mile!!

We ate at the butchers a weekend ago, this place is the real deal and portions that are like they used to be the quality of food is exceptional and quality of meat is better than most restaurants we have eaten in, nothing is too much trouble. The venue is of the beaten track a little but that just adds to the butchers charms, we will definitely we returning and we will make sure we don't eat anything all day.

overall it could have been better.

Disgusted! Overpriced. Bar staff were miserable! Got to be the worst pub in the UK!

Juboraj group run great restaurants, definitely at the top end of Indian cuisine. Lakeside and Rhiwbina would be in my top ten in Cardiff area.

I say the cost was pricey, merely for the fact that the waiters were arrogant and rude. I have been here three times but never again. If you like a poor and argumentative service with the constant sound of indian talk when you order when each employee is more than capable of speaking english then eat here, if not then id go the extra mile and try elsewhere.

very good sunday lunch - good value and service. Beers too are excellent

My husband and I went to Scalinis for lunch. Despite being only one of only two tables occupied the food was very disappointing. My salmon resembled a fishfinger in size and taste and my husbands veal milanese had been burned on one side but turned over so you didnt notice. Italian restaurant food in Cardiff is average at best but this was by far the most overrated and expensive we have eaten in. I dont mind paying if the food is good and have even enjoyed meals where an average meal has been compensated for by superb service - this place was dire on all fronts. Beefeater food at Park Plaza prices.

Excellent food, the Steak "Sizzler" was absolutely sizzling, but I like my food served hot. Family had mexican Burridos, very tasty and filling.

I must say a very pleasant evening, sure did open my eyes and made it a worthwhile and see it for yourself experience. Food outstanding the steaks in particular!

10 ounce sirloin steak and real scampi.for under £5 each. the chips were real potato. fantastic!

the food is delightful and the service is always lovely a real treat to eat there
