Loved the mussel and asparagus risotto here. It was creamy but the asparagus still had a nice bite to it. A proper Sicilian spot, service was quick too.

The queue was long, as expected for this place. But they&rsquo;ve always had everything in stock when I&rsquo;ve visited, which is pretty good for how busy it gets.

The staff were really friendly. I had a coffee and a white chocolate muffin, which was nice. Just a small thing - our table wasn&#39;t quite wiped down when we got there, but it was sorted quickly. A comfortable spot for a quiet coffee.

The dog-friendly policy here is a real winner. Brought my spaniel along and they brought him a water bowl straight away. Made for a really relaxed lunch.

The calm atmosphere here is just what I needed. The flavours in the dishes felt rich and authentic, which really made the evening. A lovely, relaxed spot.

Been a few times now, the food&#39;s always fresh and spot on. Cocktail list is extensive, which I appreciate. Had a nice Old Fashioned that paired well with the steak. Bit on the pricey side for drinks, but they&#39;re well made.

Lovely spot by the water. I was drawn to the weekday 5-course menu. The ingredients felt really fresh, especially in the seafood starter. A nice, balanced meal.

The team here is on point. Jamie and Dylan were brilliant, really knew their stuff. They suggested a fantastic local red to go with the steak, spot on pairing. Made the whole evening.

Been coming here for years, and their scones are the reason. Always warm, just crumbly enough, and they never skimp on the jam and clotted cream. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Came for the Sunday roast. The lamb was really tasty, and the Yorkshire pudding was great. Portions are generous, you definitely won&#39;t leave hungry. A bit on the pricier side for a roast, but you get what you pay for in terms of size.

The pub&rsquo;s under new management and it shows. Had a decent, hearty meal here last week&mdash;good value for the portion. The atmosphere was pretty nice, though service was a touch slow.

Came by for a late lunch. The view is really nice, right by the water. It&#39;s a bit quieter than the main strip, which was good. Had the fish and chips, it was solid. A decent spot if you want to avoid the crowds.

Came for the weekend breakfast. The mushrooms on toast were really tasty, I used the sourdough to get all the sauce. For what you get, the portion felt a bit small for the price though.

The staff were really friendly and attentive. They had a nice selection of local ales on tap, which was a pleasant surprise.

Really solid Thai spot in Newcastle. The green curry had the perfect level of heat, and the portion was generous for the price.

The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made the whole evening really relaxed. They were happy to explain the menu and didn&rsquo;t rush us at all. It&rsquo;s nice when service feels genuine and not just a routine.

Food was spot on, really generous portions. The meat dishes were especially good, tender and full of flavour.

Had the sausage sandwich for breakfast, it was pretty good. The muffin was decent too, a nice treat. A bit on the pricey side for what it was, but a solid choice.

The team were so calm when a table got a bit loud. They offered us a move to a quieter spot straight away, no drama. Just handled it.

Cash only, but there&#39;s a cash point just round the corner. The free parking nearby is handy, though you&#39;ll need a parking disc. The wine list had some decent local options that paired nicely with the simple, hearty food.

The fish and chips are a solid choice. The batter is light and crispy, which I really like. The fish is always fresh. It&#39;s just a good, classic meal, nothing fancy but reliably tasty.

Been coming here for breakfast for years now. That bacon and egg roll is always spot on - two perfectly fried eggs, loads of bacon, soft bap. It&#39;s just consistently good. The team are always friendly, even at 7am.

Friendly staff, always checking in. The hot chocolate is a real treat on a cold day. Food came out hot, which is a plus. Just a solid, reliable spot.

The staff were really friendly and attentive even when it was packed. Appreciated them being upfront about the wait time.

Great spot for a quick bite. Fillet steak pizzaiola was spot on and came out fast. Good value for the set lunch.
