What a wonderful Restaurant is Cassia Silverlink. Food is beautifully cooked and mouth watering and a fantastic selection. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our visit to this Restaurant with friends was so lovely if we are up this way again we certainly will call in. Excellent.

Italian that does Sunday lunch carvery style, huge Yorkshire puddings, lovely sausage chipolata with Sunday lunch. Decent size , booth seating a little cramped but manageable. Good drinks selection of beers, Very reasonable Sunday and weekday lunch specials, best to book if looking for lunchtime, by 2 ish it's much more quiet.

Like many of the other reviews - don’t go if you want a relaxing experience. We felt incredibly rushed and as though staff couldn’t wait to get us out the door - despite several other tables being empty. Similar to other reviews, for this reason we would not return.

First visit to Cassia today following a visit to Odeon. Great early 3 course menu at very reasonable price. There were plenty of main options and the portions were large and very tasty, lovely red wine. Large, comfortable and clean buzzing surroundings with excellent attentive staff and service - would deffo recommend and return x

We went for Sunday lunch without booking a table, as soon as we walked in the door nothing was too much trouble. We were shown straight to a table and served really quickly by the lovely staff. The service was fantastic and there were plenty of staff around. Even though it had just opened it was busy already which was a good sign. Food was great. Would definitely go again.

We’ve been here to dine in and also had takeaway many times now and love it. The food is always fantastic, pizzas are amazing; my husband usually has 2 fillet steaks which are superb - great size, lovely cut of meat and perfectly cooked. A great cocktail menu and amazing desserts. The staff always look after us, very friendly and welcoming. And of course, the prices are a bonus. Highly recommended!

Up in Newcastle for work and stayed down the road from here over the weekend. Came here as it was close. Omg I was so taken back it is amazing. The food is amazing. Amazing steak, full of flavour and extreamly good value for the price. One of the best steaks I have eaten. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble. They made me feel very welcome despite only being a table for one. I even stayed further away over the past couple of days and ended up driving all the way back here just to have the meal again. One to add to the list as a must visit. Well done guys keep up the good work.

We arrived as a party of 10 for my granddaughters 13 th birthday .The man at the reception was rude i said my name for the booking and he just said wait over there ...ok no problem .When we were taken to our table it was 2 different sized small tables stuck on the end of a booth .The starters came they wern't bad garlic bread and potato skins what could go wrong .Main course one of my sons ordered fillet steak medium it came rare so had to go back by the time the second one came the rest of us had finished eating ..second steak was awful like rubber how can you not cook a fillet steak .My other son and daughter inlaw went outside to smoke before we ordered desert and all of a sudden the waiters started to move there chairs swapped two chairs for a portable booth and took my husbands chair away he had only gone to the loo i said hey someone is sitting there the waiter replied yes but we have a 40th birthday party coming in we need these chairs you'll have to make do......never again will any of us set foot in here again .My grandaughter was in tears and everyone else was foaming no thanks .

Spent £40 food, was nice but felt very rushed from start to finish. Waiter tried to take the starter away as my niece was still eating and she ended up saying just take it. So annoying. And very very rude to do that. The bill had been on the table less than 1 second and the girl was there with the card machine. We hadn’t even looked at the bill. It wasn’t even half full in there so it’s not like they were in need of the table. Won’t be going back. !!!

Happy to accommodate adults with small appetites by offering small portions or choice from children's menu which includes pizza and pasta dishes. It was just after opening time when we arrived and restaurant was very quiet, but it soon became busy. Many of the customers had obviously been before, so they were obviously with food and service. My carbonara (small portion) was a bit too salty, but I was told I should have mentioned it and it would have been replaced.

Lunchtime meal deal is impressive and you always leave feeling full. Desserts are awesome also. Proper buff waiters too which is a nice touch 👌

The highlight of this place appears to be its value if you chose one of its set menus. We opted to share a starter which was nice and plentiful. Before then taking on their supposedly specialist wraps, perhaps I didn’t chose well but it was far more quantity over quality. The chicken was dry, the whole wrap lacked seasoning and no amount of the dipping sauce provided could improve things. Staff were friendly and service quick so I would return to try other things on the menu in the hope of a better experience

Excellent staff, very attentive, actually sometimes a little too quick (asking for drinks within seconds of sitting down) but no big deal. Wasn't sure what quality to expect and was pleasantly surprised! Seafood, carbonara, pizza, Napoli, chunky chips, all very very good. Had a fabulous meal. The only things letting it down slightly are the tired decor (old Franky & Benny's without improvement) and the thumping music which was simply just the bass (the seating area is open plan to the kitchens and although not loud it does make conversation difficult with the thumping music). Despite that, family all had a great meal, kids were very happy, we'll definitely be back when in the area again. Great place!

My friend and i came to your restaurant today ,we were sat down straight away offered drinks , and as we were waiting to order i heard one of the waiters shouting at the young staff orders across the restaurant he was so rude , we couldnt believe it and as we were sitting near kitchen the same waiter’s swearing at the chefs, he should be ashamed, when our lunch came we were lucky if our dish of pasta was enough to fit on a dessert spoon, when i asked the same waiter to speak about the dish he just walked away, my friend and i just got up and walked out, the poor young girls running about like rabbits caught in headlights, how this restaurant has survived is beyond me

Worst experience and worst service ever. Had to get someone over as we ordered a pasta to come without bacon as my Fiancée can’t have it as she is vegetarian. It came with bacon still in so they apologised and asked if we’d want another lot or money taken off. After that was sorted out the member of staff went to the end of the restaurant to another member of staff talking about it laughing. Then the member of staff that was laughing about the situation proceeds to gather the rest of the staff and point blank says ‘you know table number 4’ which is our table and then talking to them laughing and joking that we complained with it having meat in the pasta when we clearly asked for it without. It isn’t a joke and isn’t funny at all. The service was shocking and laughing making a joke out of it right near our table is just shocking. Wouldn’t be returning.

We sat at our table picked up the menu and saw the offer for the specials £8.95 for three courses. We were happy with that and began to order first course 2potato skins lovely food second course 2pasta dishes again, lovely food. Then it came to order our third course coffee or ice cream I wasn't particularly wanting an ice cream but my partner wanted coffee he asked what coffees you done and the waiter then told us the special wasn't on that day after we had ordered 2 courses . Never have I been so dismayed shocked disgusted in our treatment ....the waiter on ordering our first course should have told us then that the special wasn't available. We asked for the bill disgusted and angry £32.50 for the two courses and one alcoholic drink of a pint of lager and one soft drink a pint of lemonade. so we put £35 on the tray and to our total and utter disgust were asked by the waiter if we wanted our change . Total disbelief on what we were hearing to which my partner answered yes I want my change and the waiter looked at him in disgust we were embarrassed and felt to feel we could not complain as it would have fallen on deaf ears .
