Wonderful atmosphere with a nice view of the river. Food was superb, the pappardelle I had was perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce. The rum baba dessert was refreshing and different. Wine was excellent. The service was friendly and quick.

From walking on the door we were greeted by each member of the bar staff. Our waitress were exceptional, our table setting was perfect and the food was delicious. Another lovely lunch time treat, everything was faultless. A good lunch time menu, I had the leek and potato soup and the roast chicken breast, excellent. A great afternoon thank you so much ☺️

Party of 2, we booked very late and were a few minutes late owing to a typically tardy train. On arrival, service was prompt and we were shown to our table in what was a busy (though by no means very loud) restaurant. I had the steak baguette with frites and my sister went for a pasta dish that was surprisngly plentiful given it was from the light mains menu which was apparently excellent. I asked my steak to be done to medium well done and I may as well have asked for perfection because that was what was delivered. I've been a few times now and never had a bad experience, even during peak demand. The setting is great, the food is invariably great, the staff are lovely, and you are not deafened by music. Is it my favourite restaurant in Newcastle? Yes it is.
