I am very fascinated by the restaurant. Both from the staff and from the food. The stack was a little rougher than expected. The fish (smoked cod) was very tasty, with an amazing sauce, the vegetables - a bit overcooked. Sunday roast - perfect. The desserts even more. Excluding some small remarks, really tasty and fresh.

On the restaurant website it states closing time is 9pm? I called in this evening (Thursday) at 8pm and was refused service. I was told the kitchen was stopped cooking for this evening? I pointed out that the official closing time is 9pm and was told 'Ahh that all depends ' Maybe now the site will be truthful and say they close at 8pm? It appears that someone wanted an early night. Very disappointed.

Went on a Thursday evening, very quiet. I ordered the veggie fajitas and the wraps arrived with mould on them. When I raised this with the waitress, she was very apologetic and replaced them immediately. Was still off putting. Overall the quality of the food was average and not worth the price.

First time in Rococo Ballymena, and can safely say that it will definitely be the last. Interior was grubby and dated, and was clear to be seen that the floor had not been brushed/ mopped and the carpet not hoovered in a while. The restaurant was dead considering it was a Sunday afternoon. We were part of large group, meaning we were sitting at separate tables but they were still beside each other, the waiters did not adhere to this and therefore took the two tables orders separately, before we noticed. When the other half of our group was eating their starters, we were eating our mains and where them finished by the time everyone else was only starting their main, making it quite awkward. However I can say that some of the waiting staff where very helpful and attentive, making sure we had enough drinks, etc for the table, this is the only reason they deserve a second star! The meal I had was chicken goujons, these where greasy and overall unpleasant, the garlic dip tasted off, and the chips looked like they had been gathered up off the floor, with peas and other sauces throughout them made them inedible. We will not return to this restaurant, and upon looking their Facebook page I seen they have won awards, where the judges blind or had no taste buds? A very disappointing trip to day the least.

We had lunch here, friendly waitress. Extensive menu. I had pasta carbonara and garlic bread. Huge portion, lots of tender chicken too much pasta penne and not enough sauce but tasty. My son had chicken fillet on champ with white wine sauce, he said it was OK. Lovely looking desserts on display. But we had such large lunch portions, we were good. Nice place, we will return to try more off the menu. Reasonably priced.

Recently visited rococo for my friends birthday and it was pleasant. The food was nice and they have a good selection of alcoholic drinks. The staff are also lovely. The one down side to it is that it was very very quiet for the evening time which slightly ruined the mood. It was a little awkward in the restaurant as at times the music turned off occasionally and all you could hear was people eating.

Arrived on a Friday with no booking and was told it was no problem. It was a last minute decision while we were in town shopping and it’s so convenient. We are a family of 4 with a 10year old. Excellent food, fabulous staff who checked in with us and were friendly and engaging. Great value for money in a lovely atmosphere. Booked a table for the following week for a work do of 16 and again couldn’t fault it. Not one mistake make and we hadn’t even preordered! Top class.

Went shopping in Ballymena and decided to go for something to eat. Popped into this wee place as it was close by and had plenty of parking near hand. First impressions were good and greeted by a lovely member of staff. Seated at a table close to door which wasn't an issue. The issue was the dust and cobweb hanging from picture right above our table along with a lot of dirty marks on the wall. Definitely hasn't seen a duster in a while. There was a 30-40 min wait on food which again wasn't a problem. When food arrived, my chicken was burnt slightly as was the bacon. One item from my chicken maryland was missing (sausage) but I never complained. Besides that the food was very nice. Would I go again......probably not!!!

Tonight at 5pm on 27/12/22 I rang to book a table, on arrival we were kept waiting atleast 10 minutes until we then walked over to the bar staff who then proceeded to get us a table .. the lounge area was appalling due to a cluster of 15 empty glasses sitting on a shelf within the lounge area… we placed a drinks order which was forgotten as another waitress came and asked us again for a drinks order.. we then proceeded to wait a further 10-15 minutes of which we then were sorely disappointed and left.

The reviews give this place much more credit than it deserves. Both waitresses that served us were really rude and not very accommodating, seem to forget they work in hospitality and were clearly dragged up. Manners cost nothing. Food wasn’t that good. Best thing about it was the way out.

My experience with Rococo wasn't fantastic but wasn't bad either. I'd say the downside was trying to seat a 16 person booking across 3 tables suited for 4 people each... I went for a football do and was treated to a 3 course meal. The salmon starter was to die for! Superb stuff. Main of a traditional Christmas dinner was okay. Nothing special but not bad either. Dessert was again traditional, Christmas Cake and again was okay. Fresh fruit and sauce compliment was awesome. Service, top tier 5 big gold ones! Every waiter, waitress, front of house and the bar staff were lovely, helpful and informative. Really went above and beyond for us. All in all would give it another shot but food was nothing exceptional. Gonna bump it up a star from 3-4 purely because folk are working so so hard over the festive period.

Both were perfectly sized taste phenomenal and look professional. Drinks: We each had a kopparberg. With our drinks includes the meal was also fairly cheap! For us both totalling £59.95.

Service was extremely appalling. The waitress did not serve our table. We were the first people to arrive, but the waitress took orders from the people who arrived after us and avoided taking an order from our table. The table was also sticky and not fit for eating at. We go up to leave after sitting at the table for some time, and even though the waitress was present when we were leaving, she did not approach us to ask why we were leaving or whether everything was okay. If you value service don't eat at Rococo.

Stopped here for an easy tea and not disappointed. We had fish suppers and the fish was so good. Light batter not greasy. The fish white and flaked easily. Chips equally good. It would have been nice to have sat in their chippy to eat but sadly not under the present circumstances. Can’t wait to return.
