This was my first visit to The Ego, Penarth, as I usually go to the Penhow restaurant. Location: It was easy to find.
Restaurant: The decor is tasteful and good layout.
Service: The drinks order was not correct, but was rectified easily.
My meal was very nice, presentation could have been a little better.
The staff were initially friendly and attentive, however, when I went to the loo, my table was cleared (I was eating alone). The restaurant was not busy and therefore no-one was waiting for my table. My drink was replenished, but I felt disappointed that no-one checked if the bill had been paid etc. And I was not gone very long!!
I was not offered the dessert menu. It was not a great experience, it was not terrible either!

As usual at Ego, we had a lovely lunch. The experience was made all the more enjoyable by our waiter, (I think his name is Kazz), who was very helpful, friendly and cheerful.

Lovely atmosphere and great staff. Food was lovely, I would have liked some parmesan with the king prawn and chilli linguine but it was still very tasty. Incredibly good value for money.

Only downside for me was the hunt for the ladies toilets, they need better signs. The toilets are also very small and getting to the hand dryer when other people are in there is almost impossible, but this won't stop me visiting again.
