Needed somewhere to work whilst staying in Newcastle between Christmas and New Year and this was the perfect place. It’s the restaurant of a nice hotel and the service was great. Lovely couple of pastries that I offered on arrival, choice of plenty of tables all with power supply and good WiFi. Upgraded to the burger menu as I was recommended and it was great. Noise level was low but took a few work calls without feeling like I was talking to everyone in the place as just enough background noise.

Food is really tasty and really enjoyed what I ate. Menu all looked terrific. Had booked a table but I was left standing alone at the front desk for ten minutes waiting for a server to come and seat me. Multiple times they walked past and I even said to one can you seat me please I have a booking. She looked like a rabbit in the headlights. The young servers did work hard but also floated around a bit not focused on customers who were often trying to catch their attention Wine was extortionate for a glass. Nice decor but lacked any kind of ambiance. Lots of inappropriate language heard from the open kitchen.

Out for the Christmas shopping with the Mrs, and her to be obeyed practically only eats chicken. Never seen or heard anything of this place and what a gem meal was fantastic all cooked to perfection, went for three sides to share between us fries x 2 and onion rings which were fantastic and with what we had eaten we couldn’t finish the them, what a waste but our eyes to big for the stomachs

Enjoyed it for restaurant week probably wouldn’t return. As a vegan, It was all cauliflower. The bang bang cauliflower was unreal very tasty, The vegan schnitzel very disappointing and too greasy. The green Goddess salad that came with the schnitzel was tasty, the avocado that came with was mid and nothing special. Staff were canny enough. Also £25 for a bottle of wine that’s ordinarily £7.99 is a crazy markup.
