    Our server george was amazing, the food was excellent and quite cheap for the amount of food you get. Went on a Friday night and was quiet, although a musician was booked but had to leave. Will definitely be going back again.

    The best service in Newcastle!! My party of 13 were well and attentively looked after during our 2 hour dinner. Drinks regularly refreshed and needs met constantly. Menu options suited all, food was divine, and not a long wait. Table cleared regularly and the option to optimise and split bill at the end was such a pleasant surprise and made such a huge difference for our large group. Great central location on Beaumont and enjoyed the singer too. 100% recommend. We will return!!

    The service staff were GREAT, food was good. Unfortunately, there was no live music which was one of the reasons for choosing to dine here. Overall it was a nice night.

    We had a wonderful night, the food was delicious, the music created the perfect atmosphere and the staff were so lovely and with the perfect amount of cheeky when I was offered a coffee in a martini glass, with a shot of vodka when my friend ordered a regular coffee. The customer service provided was next level as we never sat long with an empty drink before someone came over to offer another. Too many times have we been to restaurants/cafes where the customers get forgotten once they have received the initial order. We were also offered to move to a table further from the music if it was too loud as we were seated front and centre. However I feel like the music was still at a volume where everyone could enjoy but still partake in conversation.

    Not sure what had happened before we arrived but the staff were not happy. The only staff that were happy were the owner and one tall male waiter. The waiter that took our order said “what do you want” in a very unenthusiastic tone. The lady, (who has served me many times before) put the glasses for our water down on the table so hard I was worried they were going to break. The tall male waiter who brought our drinks over did so with a smile, which was really refreshing. The food was good and the service was very fast for a Saturday morning. But after years of working breakfast service, I like to go to places where the staff can be bothered to show some basic appreciation for our business.
