Staff took quite a while to approach us at the main door.. We had arrived 30 mins early, so appreciated that it may be a wait to arrange a table.. we commented that we’d be happy to wait at their bar, to find this isn’t available ? , or at least there isn’t a bar waiting area- which is a shame considering the potential of the location. The Assembly Rooms could be a beautiful venue, but the decor doesn’t match up to this. Feels more like an echoing canteen especially when small children run up and down the “wasted” space along the edge of the main room. The sound of their feet bounces off of the walls. The staff are helpful but clearly over stretched on a Saturday. The food was ok.. not much...
The restaurant is very impressive on arrival in a beautiful building. It was extremely busy as expected for the time of year. Waiting staff were lovely and very attentive. Good choice on the menu 6 ladies for lunch ,they missed one of the starters off but did take it off the bill without us asking. My meal was lovely and we all enjoyed it but felt it was a bit overpriced. The ladies toliets were a disgrace, one loo wouldn't flush, one door had no lock and they were filthy, the dust on the pipes etc was an inch thick and clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Cobwebs everywhere. We enjoyed our meal but I wouldn't rush back, some improvements especially in the loos are desperately needed.
Went there with my family, there were six of us. The food was very average. My wife's pasta sauce had almost no meat in it, my daughter's meat balls were a bit dry and my side order of vegetables were dried out in places, cold and without their dressing. £4:25 for a piece of wilted brocoli, dried out green beans and a few frozen peas. No one wanted to complain as it was a family Christmas shopping trip. I've had worse but I wouldn't go there again.
The restaurant has a large space with high ceilings, creating a noisy and echoey atmosphere. It lacks warmth and feels more like a cafeteria. The pasta was disappointing, with a thin tomato sauce and bland seafood. The staff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed with their workload.

Experience mixed Amazing venue Lacked atmosphere-probably time of year Staff pleasant enough, but lack of clear understanding of open table system Also lack of customer engagement/warmth Difficult to quantity but would not recommend or rush back
Beautiful setting but could be made so much nicer. Our starters were lovely but the mains were average and disappointing for the price. Waiting staff were very friendly and helpful. Wouldn't visit this particular restaurant again.
A lovely meal with amazing service. Nothing was too much trouble even though it was a busy graduation day). All accomplished with smiles and a little banter. The actual large room of the restaurant is stunning.
Absolutely fantastic meal in beautiful surroundings. The service was incredible, all the waiting staff were so helpful and pleasant to chat with. Definitely go back in the future. Thank you
