    Beautifully appointed fine dining restaurant in the heart of Newcastle. The food (including oysters, ham hock terrine, duck breast and fish) were all delicious, and the service was prompt and attentive. The set menu is well priced (£20 for two courses) but the á la carte is a little pricier. Would highly recommend for lunch or dinner.

    First time diners during restaurant week. Food was good and very attentive staff. Ambience very good. Would go again, only slight downside is the entrance through a packed bar on a match day.

    The meal was spoiled by the staff trying to get us off the table 25 mins early! We were told we could not have dessert! Having spent over £300 on the meal it left us feeling extremely disappointed. I needed to remind staff of there 2 hour table policy, not the level of service I would expect.
