Food Quality
Pros:
"The Tapas are to die for...... yummy"
"Produce was high quality and perfectly cooked."
"Delicious food and perfect portions."
"Food was absolutely gorgeous, would recommend the Spanish Grazing board to share and the Goats Cheese bon bons were also delicious."
"Everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned, the burger definitely was a stand out and one of the best restaurant burgers I've ever had."
"Mouthwatering meals all round the table."
"The food was fantastic."
Cons:
"On this occasion they food wasn't as good as previous experiences which was disappointing."
"The prawn end up like mash prawn(over boiled)."
"Veggie cowboy beans... More like dog food. Burnt and stuck to the plate."
"But my scallops were over cooked and just not great taste wise."
"Only disappointment was the tempura prawns...delicious but not as crispy as hoped."
"The meals eventually started to arrive however they came in dribs and drabs which meant some of us were finished our meal before others had even received theirs."
"Last time, I ordered a chicken burger which was pink. not the colour it’s supposed to be."
Service
Pros:
"Lovely place with lovely people who go out their way to make sure their customers are completely satisfied."
"Staff attentive."
"Staff were extremely friendly as we got there just at the end of breakfast our waitress Alex quickly sat us down and took our order and we were fed within 10minutes."
"Lovely polite service, very quick and always with a smile from our waitress Maud."
"Very friendly staff that take care of you throughout your visit."
"The two male staff members serving the food and drinks were great. Always at hand to fill up our drinks."
"Alex was our lead waitress and from arrival was on the pulse."
Cons:
"On top of this there is a £5 service charge, didn’t realise we were in America now-I understand this for a large party but for two people, seems a bit of a money grab."
"I was chatting to my girlfriend when a member of staff came up to me and told me I was 'gormless'... Ended up walking out after not paying for 4 drinks and no one said anything."
"Totally unnecessary in the circumstances and manager would accept no decision making responsibility upon being challenged."
"The guy that appeared to be in charge and was dressed in blue was so rude to his staff - to give a young staff member a dressing down in front of customers is not acceptable."
"Food tasted good but service was poor."
"Service was good but I do think the server should have noticed the dish she was serving was incomplete."
"Very disappointed, the service was rubbish the food and drinks took a very long time."
Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"Nice enough bar in a good location."
"The decor of the restaurant was nice and well suited."
"It's located in the centre of Tynemouth and is very close to the beach."
"Beautiful food and fantastic service in a very nice setting."
"Lovely setting, friendly staff and stunning food."
"A very smart and sophisticated layout, with very friendly staff who knew the menu, a wide range of food and drinks caters for everyone."
"We liked the atmosphere and the decor."
Cons:
"Oh how we wish we had never returned to what was one of our favourite restaurants in Tynemouth pre pandemic, what was once was a vibrant restaurant with good quality food, Staff and atmosphere has sadly gone."
"It was boiling hot outside and absolutely freezing inside. The restaurant had more of a feel of a bar to it."
"When I booked it online it looked like a lush restaurant."
"When we walked in, a lot of the tables were dirty and I couldn't tell the staff from the customers."
"Also the lady in charge that showed us to our table looked extremely miserable and took our orders like she was doing us a big favor no smile on her face or general friendliness."
"The music was so loud that conversation became difficult."
"It felt like a different place to previous visit fairly disappointed."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Would definitely go back well worth the money 3 tapas for £17.95."
"Got the lunch time tapas deal which knocked about £10 off my bill so we obviously ordered some cocktails which we also got on a deal!"
"Very good value for money and would definitely visit again!"
"The food is excellent quality and very reasonably priced for most of the tapas."
"Often come for Tapas, great deal at 4 Tapas and two drinks for £22."
"Paired with the price, if you get their 4 tapas and a wine deal it's surprisingly good value!"
"This was a Wowcher deal and we would definitely return."
Cons:
"It was extremely sickly sweet with lots of desiccated coconut and not enough ice, definitely not worth paying over £7 !!"
"Cocktails were lovely although overpriced."
"A bit pricey but worth it because the food really was very tasty and well cooked."
"Main menu steak and lobster 33 pound cooked perfect the steak the lobster isn't local and tiny, too much money."
"Food was really tasty but portions are more expensive and smaller and local competitors."
"We eat out frequently and this is not good value at all in our experience."
