Tomahawk Steakhouse - Newcastle Reviews Summary

Steak Quality

Pros:

• "My god! It was one of the best steaks I've ever had! Cooked to perfection!"
• "Tomahawk Steak is so tender and flavour & is so skilfully done. With great presentation."
• "The (ribeye) tomahawk was melt in the mouth."
• "I had the Wagu 10oz sirloin and I think it may have been the best steak I have had.. ever!"
• "Food was good, steak lovely as it should be and the desert was canny when we eventually got it."
• "I expected better or stronger flavor, I asked for medium rare and I got almost blue in some areas."
• "The steak was beautifully cooked. Melt in the mouth and I even got the cheaper option of Rump and it was beautiful."
• "Steak was fab, my son and I got the sharing board which I highly recommend as you get to try fillet, sirloin and flat iron beautiful."

Cons:

• "I expected better or stronger flavor, I asked for medium rare and I got almost blue in some areas."
• "Ordered 2 fillet steaks one of which came shaped like a pancake, no sear and hardly any seasoning."
• "Food was really average. The flat iron steak had some good flavour but the recommended cooking of this is medium rare on the menu, this means that it is slightly tough and not enjoyable."
• "The biggest disappointment is as a steakhouse I would expect perfect steaks cooked to order."
• "Ordered 2 flat iron steaks. One was good, the other was chewy and very rare when I had requested medium."
• "I was disappointed with my starters, king prawns, because the prawns were fried with the shell and it was too tough to eat the shell."
• "The steak I had. The 20oz porterhouse, medium rare was delicious. Absolutely delicious. The sides were all brilliant. Beef dripping chips and buttered spinach. Amazing. The sauces were lush too. There is a service charge of 10% which is optional but you have to ask for it to be taken off, be warned. Service was a little slow. Otherwise would recommend."
• "Steak was very good, one of the better I've had in Newcastle. Got prawns on the side which weren't the best. Waiting staff excellent. Good drink selection and cocktails were nice. Probably a bit overpriced but definitely worth a try."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "Staff was great and attentive and it was my birthday and they made my pudding real special! 😊"
• "The service was excellent. We were served by a waiter named Connor. He is so attentive and helpful, & a warm, welcoming smile."
• "Extremely helpful and friendly staff, especially Connor who found us a table even though it was very busy and we hadn't booked."
• "Alice's performance as our waitress at Tomahawk Steak House surpassed our expectations. From the moment we were seated, she exuded a genuine enthusiasm for ensuring our dining experience was unparalleled."
• "Staff were friendly and attentive, our food was served promptly and piping hot."
• "Highly recommend if you're visiting Newcastle or live locally. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive."
• "Fantastic steakhouse. Steak was beautifully cooked and delicious. Good choice of drinks on tap including some real ales. Nice restaurant inside and out and well decorated. Staff very friendly too. One of the better steaks I've had in Newcastle and nice Quayside location. Would highly recommend for anyone fancying a nice steak in the town."
• "Easily my favourite steakhouse in Newcastle. It can be a bit pricy, but, in my opinion, worth it. Steaks are cooked to perfection. The side of mac 'n' cheese is to die for. Service is second to none, and decor hits the spot. Could not recommend more highly."

Cons:

• "Service was diabolical but the lovely girl serving was actually polite this was our 7th anniversary meal and we got stuck in a dark corner with flickering lights."
• "Visited to sample the restaurant week menu. Food was absolutely delicious but I felt very rushed by the servers like they wanted us in and out."
• "The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. When we arrived, we were asked to wait at the bar area, which is small, and we had to keep moving out of the way of the staff and other patrons."
• "Nice place. Over priced for the amount you get mind. As regular steak eaters, it was about a 7/10, we tried 5 different types of steak, 3 cooked perfect one over and one under."
• "Had a lovely afternoon, the staff were very polite and professional, everything well explained and excellent covid measures in place felt very safe. Enjoyed our few drinks there and the takeaway food was delicious. We will definitely be going back to enjoy the full dining experience. I would definitely recommend a visit here."
• "Three of us went to Tomahawk for restaurant week. Two of us ate from that menu and one person from the standard menu. I have to say I have mix views about the service and food."
• "It was the best steak ever we had.my husband was very happy and satisfied with the service from Ryan.He explained about the best match dishes for the steak.Really calm and peaceful inside the restaurant."
• "Excellent service overall. Food was good. I thought some sides were a bit pricey. Also even though the food was lovely and tasty I think the slaw or a sauce should have been on plate to make it look more apertising instead of having to pay for a side."
