"I had high expectations for this restaurant after hearing great reviews from others and deciding to celebrate my wife's birthday there. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The restaurant was too noisy, with families with young children seated near us and a loud speaker right above our table. I had to put tissue paper in my ears to block out the noise. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food didn't take long to arrive. However, the food was underwhelming and there are better dining options in South Shields. The portions were decent and hot, but not as good as I had hoped. The bill was quite high at 56 pounds, but I was told this is typical. We had starters, main courses, sides, drinks, and the VAT added to the total. Overall, this dining experience was not what I expected."
