Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Newcastle

Had such a lovely time at The George. Our server was divine, helpful, and super accommodating. Lovely ambiance and overall a terrific experience!

My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating Valentine's Day at Communion, and it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to OpenTable's 'Notify Me' feature, we secured a last-minute reservation, setting the stage for a perfect evening. Our server, Christina, recommended the pork chop—a dish I don't usually prefer. However, it was a revelation: juicy, perfectly cooked, and accompanied by a harmonious blend of sauces. As someone who has won first place in a Michelin-star cooking competition among friends, I can confidently say this dish was exceptional. Christina's attentive service and warm demeanor enhanced our evening, making our Valentine's celebration truly special. Communion is a gem in Seattle's dining scene, and we look forward to our next visit.

Would absolutely recommend this location to anyone looking to have a nice sit down dinner. While the tables are fairly tightly packed so you do feel pretty close to other diners, the food and service well made up for it. We had the calamari as well as the rosemary potato bread for starters, which both came out very quickly and were absolutely delicious. The steaks we had for entrees were perfectly cooked, tender and well seasoned. Our server Shauna was phenomenal the entire time we were there, attentive but not overbearing in any way, did not feel like she was rushing us even though it was a busy night, and had great service generally

Two of us had lunch at Allister. It was a very cold day and I had arrived early to find the doors locked. But ... the hostess saw me and let me in early so that I would not have to wait outside in the cold. That level of consideration was typical of the service we received throughout. We talked quite a bit after we had finiished our food and no attempt was made to rush us out. The food was good and arrived quite quickly. The only drawback to the restaurant is the noise level. Once the restaurant fillls up it can be hard to hear your table companion.

Great good and servixe. The weitress was delightful. I will be back for sure.
