The Dome Restaurant & Bar in Ryedale

A lovely restaurant, spoiled by poor food and inattentive staff. Dipping oil/olives starters were served with bread containing dried fruit. Salmon was raw in the middle and everything on the plate was lukewarm at best. Fruity bread made another appearance on the cheese board. Took ages to order our food because the bored young waitress, who was hanging around doing very little was studiously avoiding eye contact. Clearly, we weren't sat at one of 'her' tables; we weren't able to place our order until another waitress appeared. We have eaten lunch at The Dome and were very happy, but it appears to have deteriorated - what a shame!

Visited the dome restaurant last night. It was a memorable experience. Food, surroundings, service were all second to none. Mimi

Great place for a cocktail, stayed here with family, food is amazing 👍🏻

Lovely chilled place, food is ace!

Really attentive staff, delicious and fresh food and seated with a lovely view. Would look forward to going again.

What a difference a year makes! Starters: The prawn and smoked salmon. A layer of lettuce on the bottom with the prawns on top of that in a very watered down cocktail sauce. This was then covered with strips of salmon. Bland to say the least with no imagination in terms of presentation. Mains. I had the pork. The only hot item on the plate were the roast potatoes. Everything else was warm at best whilst the Yorkshire Pud was soggy. We tried 4 salt cellars and none worked until eventually a member of staff brought some loose in a small bowl for us to sprinkle over the food with our fingers. She admitted they had nothing but trouble with the cellars so why put them out? No utensils to serve up the veg either. We had to use knife and fork. Staff were distant at best. They then had the cheek to try and charge a 10% service fee which I politely turned down. I also reported everything wrong with the meal to a young lad who took my money but in view of my report, he did not appear to be too bothered. Despite wonderful quality of both food and staff across last year for which I gave great reviews, I doubt I will be returning!

Lovely food and fantastic service, hopefully get a bit busier when people hear about it ! A great find !!
