"We had the misfortune of dining from this restaurant in the evening twice during our short stay at the hotel purely out of convenience. The first time we ordered room service and ate a pizza, Marriott burger and chicken salad. All were sub standard. Chicken chewy, burger and bun charred and pizza hard (like one from the freezer) and lacking tomato sauce. Disappointing but I always expect quality to drop for the convenience of room service. The second time we went to the restaurant in person. We’re fans of seafood so figured that what with being by Swansea Bay and Swansea market (which sells excellent fish) this should be good in a reputable hotel restaurant with pictures of seafood on the walls. How wrong could we be. Scallop starters were overcooked and overpowered by pesto. My rib eye steak was served in several chunks, and cooked rare instead of medium (which I don’t mind) but it was over salted to the point I found myself trying to scrape away the salt. I have had worse steaks and was hungry so ate it anyway. I left the garnish of watercress as it looked like it had spent a few weeks at the back of the fridge. But the prize goes to my partner’s mussel and chorizo main course. This was nasty! She asked me if it smelled funny and I tasted a bit but it was so salty it was difficult for me to distinguish anything above the salty taste. This was until she discovered a foul ‘excrement’ smelling mussel in the pot. I would normally pay the bill and leave rather than causing a scene. But since mussels can cause food poisoning I felt something had to be said. I explained this but none the scene I feared slowly unfolded. The food was taken the chef who insisted it was fine, the waiter explained the mussels were fresh yesterday, another said they were fresh today. I even had to explain to a waiter how to identify if a mussel is alive before serving! The whole experience was cringe worthy to say the least. We weren’t charged for the dish or service but stopped our meal short and spent the evening worried we’d been poisoned. Luckily no sickness was experienced. Most worrying to me is the fact that the chef could not identify a bad mussel that smelled of s#%t. Other tables looked disappointed with their expensive food too. If you value your time, money and health don’t eat here! Marriott you need to sort this out as it’s not good enough!"

We didn't want to go out for dinner so ate in the hotel restaurant which was very good for the limited offering. We had burgers.

The flavour of the cod was a bit lacking, the chips were a little dry and the crushed peas were peas that had been boiled and crushed (as the name suggests). What´s wrong with mushy peas (or call them puree of peas)?

I dined four times at this restaurant, including two breakfasts and I thought the staff were excellent on each occasion. The food was good and I enjoyed every visit. The menu is a little limited in the evening but I enjoyed all meals. Visualizza piatti

Good starter of Mushroom toast. Impressed with the size of rump but asked for medium to well steak and paid a premium so was disappointed that it appeared to be undercooked,pretty fatty too. Told waitress but wasnt offered a replacement or money off the hefty price. Not many customers so service was OK. Finished with a cheese platter, grapes looked a bit sorrowful.

Went last night on my own. Service was very disappointing. Meal took far too long. Not sure if problem was in the kitchen or insuffient 'front of house staff '. Either way, it was poor. Adding insult to injury, they put service charge on the bill. They must have realised how long I 'd been sitting there.I would have expected better from the Mariott. Food was ok, and price average.

I we t down to the restaurant in my hotel for something to eat. There were only a few people in the restaurant. The hostess was ok, she was pleasant but I didn’t feel a warm welcome. The waitress seemed annoyed to have a table of one. The specials or soup of the days explained to me. She handed me the menu and then went on to the other table she had. After getting my drink she never came back to the table. After finishing my drink I just felt uncomfortable sitting in a nearly empty restaurant by myself. I flagged down the waitress and asked if I could get the check and take it up to my room. I will say though when I got to my room and started to eat, the food was pretty good. Visualizza piatti

Came here as a family of 12, was dead there and they had loads of staff. I have eaten in many restaurants and will only give a bad review when it's deserved. The food was mediocre, the starter I had French onion soup and that was nice, the main which was a burger was not pleasant. The pickles were doused in vinegar it was too much. The dessert was cheesecake, stale popcorn on top... why? They forgot something on every course and my 4 year old son was left waiting 20 minutes for ice cream, and it still came out wrong. Safe to say I wont be coming here again, there was barely any choice on the menu. The only reason it gets 2 is one for the soup, and one for the comfy chairs. I would head up th...

A tip for the unwary is that Swansea is generally shut on a Monday night. Efforts to find a decent restaurant that was either (a) open or (b) if it was open, didn't shut early, fell on stony ground. We were staying at the Marriott so took the path of least resistance and ate at the restuarant attached to the Marriott, which was the Cast Iron Bar and Grill. To be honest I was not expecting any big deal so we were really pleasantly surprised. The food was very good. Excellent fried squid starter and then a delicious steak. All washed down with an excellent bottle of Merlot. Indeed I would recomment the restaurant to anyone staying at the Marriott. Very busy early evening but on reflection that...
