"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!"

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.

We were staying at the hotel, so on our first night, being tired and lazy, we had dinner here. We were treated well by an attentive staff, the food was plentiful and tasty, and the prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend this place to locals and visitors alike. View menu

I was initially concerned after reading some of the reviews. The food was expensive and took longer than anticipated to arrive. However, when it did, it was clearly freshly prepared and delicious. The service was also excellent. If you are staying here, you don't need to look elsewhere for dinner, as this restaurant is a good choice.

When staying at the Marriott, my brother and I decided to go down and try out Cast Iron and we were not disappointed! We were met by a lovely waitress Jodie, who made sure we were cared for and picked some lovely wines! we would probably just come back because she was such a great waitress. We shared the soup of the day amazing! and I had the pork ribs while my brother had the Ribeye steak. Both were great and full of flavour. We felt that it was definitely worth the money.

Although we didn't stay at the Delta Marriott Swansea hotel, we had dinner at the Cast Iron Bar and Grill. The food was amazing, definitely worth 5 stars. We particularly enjoyed the low and slow BBQ sauce baby ribs, which I highly recommend. The menu wasn't extensive, but it offered a great selection for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Julie Coe provided us with excellent service, and she even encouraged us to sign up for the Bonvoy Marriott program, highlighting the benefits. I would recommend this restaurant, especially since it's just a minute away from the beach. If we ever return to Swansea, we would definitely consider staying at this hotel. View menu

Came here a year ago and it was fantastic in every respect. It makes the following more surprising. Firstly, the receptionist wanted a receipt for our meal in order to enter my car registration into their computer. I did feel obliged to point out that there was no receipt since we had neither eaten nor paid yet. Food was lovely....BUT... I was a little surprised that the restaurant was virtually empty...and then we found out why... 1. Over one and a half hours from arrival time to being served. 2. No bread rolls as it was still being baked after over an hour and we booked yesterday. 3. Even when the rest of us were served, salmon with a poached egg was 10 minutes late as the chef was cooking...

Our experience at the Cast Iron Bar and Grill for a birthday meal was not up to par due to slow and inaccurate service. Despite being the only customers in the restaurant at 13:15 on a Saturday, our starters took nearly 45 minutes to arrive. While the food itself was good, the portion of bread provided with the soup was lacking, leading us to request an additional bread roll. Unfortunately, it took an additional 10 minutes for this request to be fulfilled, by which time the soup had already been consumed. Three out of four main courses arrived half an hour later, with the fourth delayed due to an egg being cooked. Despite specifically requesting no pepper on the salmon due to an allergy, the...
