The staff were friendly, and Beth in particular was really nice. The place has a relaxed, cosy feel to it. The food was decent, though the pasta portion was a bit on the small side for the price.

The cod was cooked fresh to order, which you don&#39;t always get. The batter was nice and crisp, and the fish inside was still perfectly moist. A solid portion for the price, too.

Our go-to spot for a lazy Sunday brunch. The lattes arrive steaming hot every time, which I really appreciate. Portions are generous, so you won&#39;t leave hungry. Staff are quick and friendly, makes for a relaxed morning.

The banana and peanut butter toast here is the best in town! The flat white is also very good, and the barista is incredibly nice.

The food is pretty good here, especially the pasta dishes. Prices felt fair for what you get, which is decent quality. Portions are fine, not huge but enough. A solid choice for a casual meal.

The service here is solid. Staff kept our drinks topped up without being overbearing. The waiter suggested the lamb dish, which was a good call. It&#39;s the kind of attentive but relaxed service that keeps me coming back.

Got seats at the bar without a booking, lucky! Full menu available. Food came out super fast, perfect for a quick lunch. The barramundi was decent. Good spot when you&#39;re in a rush.

Gluten-free options are solid, they use a separate fryer. The batter came out crisp, no issues. Good to have a reliable choice for dietary needs.

this is a lovely place to dine.... staff are attentive, welcoming and very polite. Food was delicious, special effort made by them for my granddaughter&#39;s birthday. Lovely afternoon, frequent this often.

The tandoori grill came on a regular plate, not a sizzler, which was a bit disappointing. The meat was quite tough.

Staff are nice. Got my sandwich and coffee in under 5 minutes today. Perfect for a quick lunch break.

The roast chicken was spot on, juicy and full of flavour, just like a proper home-cooked meal. The menu had a good few options to choose from. It&#39;s a clean, tidy place and the staff were really pleasant. I&#39;ll definitely be back for more.

The flatbread is homemade and just incredible. The sides and dips are a nice touch.

Grace and Amy were brilliant. They knew exactly when to check in and when to give us space. The wine pairing suggestion from Grace was spot on, really complemented the main course. Made the evening.

The pizza dough is light and airy with a perfectly crisp crust from their stone oven. Really solid quality on the toppings too.

Been here a few times now. The lamb curry is always spot on, really tender. That&#39;s the one I keep coming back for.

Inside Grainger Market, this bakery&#39;s got a solid selection of fresh breads. Simple spot, you can tell they care about what they&#39;re putting out. My sourdough loaf was spot on, great crust. Just a bit of a queue at lunchtime.

A solid choice for a nicer dinner. The portions are generous and everything was cooked well. Service was attentive, though it did feel a bit formal for a casual weeknight. The lamb was particularly good.

The downstairs area gets pretty loud when it&#39;s busy, so it&#39;s tough to have a conversation. I&#39;d definitely go back, but probably on a quieter weeknight.

Family-run place. You can feel the care in the food. Had the lamb curry, rich and tender. A solid, reliable spot for proper Indian.

Portions are huge! I was honestly surprised by how much food came out. Left feeling stuffed and my wallet didn&#39;t cry. 😅

The tagliatelle al salmone was lovely, packed with big pieces of salmon. The pasta itself was just a touch soft for my liking, though.

The upstairs area is so spacious and clean, and the view is lovely. Really comfortable for a relaxed meal.

Love the coffee here, especially the caramel latte. They have a really interesting selection of syrups you don&#39;t see everywhere. The mocha was a nice choice too. Good spot to sit for a while with a book.

Been coming here for years. Always start with the mango bhel and vada pav. That madras curry is the one for me - just the right amount of heat, never disappoints. Finish with the gulab jamun and ice cream, every single time.

Portions were generous, which I appreciate. The real highlight for me was the freshness of the ingredients in the salad - the greens were crisp and the vegetables tasted so vibrant. A nice, simple meal.

Decent portions, especially for the price. The food&#39;s solid - not fancy, but you get what you pay for. Good spot for a no-fuss meal.

As a Newcastle fan, I had to stop in. The memorabilia everywhere is really cool, especially for matchdays. The vibe is spot-on, feels like a proper local spot.

Came here with the family on Christmas Day. The menu had some interesting new dishes, and I really appreciated the focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. The roasted root vegetables were a standout - so vibrant and full of flavour. A lovely, relaxed meal.

The Botanist offers a stunning atmosphere with its unique decor and a beautiful glass dome, making it a perfect spot for a fun night out.
