"I have eaten here on a number of occasions, and the fact that I have gone back probably tells you all you need to know, but I shall, nevertheless, add a few thoughts.This restaurant is situated on the top floor of the Baltic Art Gallery so, if you like artistic installations (I don 't) you can combine culinary and cultural pleasures. The food is good value for money and always of a high standard; you would pay much more for these sorts of dishes in London. The menu is slightly limited but, having said that, offers a good choice. The staff are friendly and helpful to an extraordinary degree The views from the dining area on a long summer 's evening over the Tyne and one of Britain 's finest cities is unforgettable. So, do I entertain any reservations? Well, yes, but it 's not one by any means restricted to the Baltic 6, and it is the general level of noise that diners now generate. Have we forgotten how to conduct ourselves in public? Now although, let me be clear, this problem is not unique to the Baltic 6 it is one not helped by the abundance of 'hard ' surfaces that act as something of an echo chamber. A few soft furnishings, drapes or similar might help. Just a thought if the management read this."

"Despite reduced guest numbers due to Covid we had a very good meal and the staff provided a friendly and efficient service. Cafe Rouge has always had a great menu and we especially enjoyed the mussels and beouf bourginon"

"My son had booked us for a breakfast prior to the visit to the National History Museum. Unfortunately, my verdic is not positive for the meal here. There was not much matching on the menu for what I'd like to have breakfast so I requested,some green salad,grilled feta,olive,fried eggs and avocado and toast... What turned out to be was peanut size salad that was all dried up ,no Hallomee, no olives 2 post stamp size fried eggs in a large serving plate and 2 peanut size toast... We paid some some £68. Very disappointed and I do not recommend this restaurant."

"Yum Yum and Yum.. I had been meaning to go here for quite some time when Cafe St Honoreès chef Neil Forbes made some food at the Edinburgh Farmers Market. I loved it. So, as apart of the Yelp Eats offer, I made my reservation here on the first day of the offer to see what it would be like. I felt as though I had gone back to paris, the mirrored walls with the lighting and decor felt like a true french cafe. As I arrived, I had no problem being brought to my table, and with theyre expectation of my arrival they knew where I would sit right away with my candle lit. The service was great, after I ordered my wine my glass never went empty. However, they didn 't seem as though they were hovering. They were also very organized with the Yelp Eats Menus and had them printed and ready to give to us. I ordered the Pumpkin Soup whilst my boyfriend ordered the Game Terrine. I was happy with my choice since as delicious as his starter was, I didn 't realize his game would be cold. Obviously I didn 't know the definition for terrine but generally when people say game I say 'yes please! ' The soup was perfect, amazing texture and so buttery and smooth. I don 't think I could have improved it in any way. For the Mains we both enjoyed the Plaice. It was a full fillet and was cooked perfectly. It was served with watercress and potatos. I was very impressed with the way the fish was cooked since the bones were still in, but you could pull the meat apart without munching on any bones (not ideal date food etiquette) but as i said, this wasnt the case! I finished with a artisan roast coffee (jennys fav!, haha) Overall the staff were fantastic, very friendly and even offered to order us a cab afterwards to get us home as we got our bill.Great evening, go here! I 'll definitely go back soon"

"Having made a booking via OpenTable and receiving a confirmation email, 24 hours later had a phone call from Browns to say they could offer me a table at 5pm or 9pm but not at 7pm which was the time of my booking. No apologies just that the way it is. OpenTable just blamed Browns and said I could always phone the restaurant to confirm a booking, not seeing the ridiculousness of that suggestion as it renders their platform to irrelevance. So I am giving an all round one star, but to be clear we did not eat there."

"Firstly, I am somewhat amazed at the reviews theis venue has based on our visit on Saturday evening. We arrived 45 minutes early for our table for 4 persons at 7.30pm as I had called ahead at lunchtime asking if they had a bar area that we could sit and select from the menu in advance of being seated in the restaurant. I was given the impression that they had a lavish area for this purpose. However, this was not the case and we were shown to our table on arrival which was probably the worst location in the restaurant that was sparse of diners at that time. I will elaborate on our table location as it made for a negative night. It was a circular table placed in a “gap” between the original restaurant area and what appeared to be an extension to the restaurant. This gap did have curtains that could have been closed which would have curtailed guests and staff squeezing between the wall and one of our chairs but when asked the Owner said he would not close them……. In fairness, “Theo” the Owner did offer the choice another two alternative tables but both were in no better location! We sat and ordered drinks and were provided with menus. The drinks arrived in a timely fashion and were made fine. I also ordered some wine which was decanted and allowed time to breath before being served. The wine was an Amorone but the year did not warrant the price he was charging but nonetheless was quite good. We placed our food order and in doing so I asked if chef would add a simple fried egg to top the steak I had ordered. I was told by Theo that he was down a number of staff on the evening shift and could not provide the egg. How many people would we have needed to fry an egg???? To be honest the whole experience was not worth almost £500.00 even though the food fine. We also found it disturbing the way Theo tried to control the waiting staff this may have been because they were young or new to the role but we felt that the staff did a good job and didn’t need micro managing! I am always curious when a front of house individual, who gives the impression he is in total control, loses the plot mid service. I did tell Theo I would give a poor review and he pretty much dismissed me so I dug a little deeper and it would appear the restaurant has suffered financial issues in the very recent past…….. this information is in the public domaine through Google. All in all we were so disappointed with a venue that appears to have a wealth of happy diners from their reviews……. It’s NOT that good Guys!!!"

"Had a family gathering at this pub to celebrate my daughter’s recent birthday. We all ate and had drinks there. Service, politeness and helpfulness of staff was good. Being a party over a certain number we had to pre book our starters and main course which wasn’t a problem, but I found this establishments food and drinks way over priced, both food and drink. Large white wine £9.90, firstly ferret pint £5.90. You can view the price of the meals on their website. I just had a burger which came with chips. It was quite nice but quite average. Before I started eating it the bottom half of the bun was soaked in burger grease and was mush. The chips I wouldn’t be surprised if they were McCain’s straight frozen or possibly some other brand, but not fresh made. Holding the burger together was a wooden skewer and placed on top of the burger was two slightly cooked onion rings which I would say also come out of the freezer. I have eaten better burgers from McDonald’s or Burger King for half the price. My wife had Dover Sole and said the fish was nice, but over priced. For a sweet four of us had baklava. It’s was a fair portion of baklava, but rated about a 6.5 to 7 10. As we left the pub I only counted 4 people in the pub, perhaps there were more that I couldn’t see, this was at approx 18:30 on a Saturday evening. The inside of the pub is nice, shame about the prices. My wife asked me would I come here again, I replied I wouldn’t choose to come here, and she agreed. It wasn’t my choice to go there for this visit. The quality of the food doesn’t warrant such high prices."

"We have been seated at the coldest table next to the Window , close to the kitchen. It was my mums birthday and we did make staff aware of it. Nobody have done check back when we had our starters which were not the greatest....We have waited for mains over an hour, nobody gave us cutlery after we had our starters , we were have to request. When we did that , the girl with dark blonde hair rolled her eyes on us. My mums majito was most of it ice , she couldn’t drink it , we asked for another one instead with no ice and in a smaller glass. The manager ignored our request and bought a drink to the table in the same long glass with full of soda that my mum couldn’t taste alcohol. The noice level was way to high the chefs were shouting and constantly complaining that none of the staff taking food. The entire our service was spoiled. Additionally, nobody asked us if we have any allergies. My brother had a burger with a spicy mustard which is not specified in a menu, myself I am allergic to spicy. Theoretically I could of been the one who tried the burger to check if child’s food is warm. They lucky that I didn’t. over , neither the waitress or the manager haven’t introduced themselves to us and it makes sense now. Overall , we wouldn’t recommend the place. Too pricy for a horrible service."

"We really enjoy this restaurant, however, I was disappointed with my choice of food (vegetable stew and greens) as it was too salty for my taste and I couldn't eat the greens. I suggest allowing customers to adjust the salt content to their liking. I mentioned this issue to our very friendly Australian waitress when returning the item. Overall, the food was good apart from this issue."

"Our experience at this restaurant was not great. We received the wrong food order, which was bland and we didn't finish it. Despite our request for an apology gesture, we received none. The lack of a notepad for taking orders accurately likely led to the mistake. Additionally, there is a sit-down fee of £5 per person on top of the shisha price, and customers are required to share tables with others, which we found to be absurd. As a result, we decided to leave the shisha place and go to another lounge after dinner. Overall, our experience was disappointing and we have no plans to return. We do not recommend going out of your way to dine at this restaurant."

"We had a lovely meal here. Two adults two kids. Kids menu was decent. Me and my partner had the bang bang chicken to start which was lovely! Both had the fillet cooked medium, sides all really tasty and home made chips and onion rings! The only thing I didn’t like was the guacamole (I know guacamole with steak but I love avocado! it honestly was the most horrible thing so pale in colour and smooth as anything it was clearly out of a bottle and not homemade. But that’s personal choice I guess! I would definitely eat here again the flavour on the steak was unreal!"

"My family and I dined at this restaurant on Saturday, July 28th. We had 6 adults, a five-year-old, and a baby with us. This restaurant is local to us and we are familiar with it. It has a warm family atmosphere that is busy but not overly loud, with friendly staff who are attentive and cheerful without being pushy. The service is good even when it's busy, and the owner is very hands-on and greets everyone. We enjoyed a delicious rioja wine, along with tasty house wines. The starters, pizzas, and pasta were excellent and reasonably priced. The mains and specials, on the other hand, were a bit overpriced and the portions were small, although flavorful. Two in our group found them disappointing. Our pizza, the Anacapri, was a bit lackluster, undercooked, and bland, which is unusual as they are usually good. Nonetheless, it didn't ruin our evening, and we all had a good time, especially the kids. The staff didn't mind the children walking about and they even received special attention."

"We have eaten here many times but last night the food was definitely not up to its usual standard. My husband had duck, potatoes and green beans but there were no potatoes. The ice cream that came with the dessert had a bug piece of ice in it. We both don’t feel well after the meal. Starter was excellent and the ambience really lovely. Service wasn’t great, I asked fir some ice and lemon 3 times before it came and they forgot my husbands expresó that he ordered"

"Definitely best lunch my wife and I have ever had. Staff were all friendly and helpful and the decor was directly from a Parisian bistro. Now to the food. We shared 6 x Tempura king prawns for nibbles which were perfect. I had frogs legs for starters with a delicious warm salad. Duck and brandy parfait to start was loved by my wife. Main for me was halibut with clams and seafood chowder , every mouthful superb. The misses went for her favourite, Moules Mariniere and thought it delightful. We had to have desserts. Wifey went for iced white chocolate parfait with honeycomb, I chose apple tart which as you should know by now were both delicious."

"we were very excited to try this new place that seemed so inviting from the road, they sat us immediately and we were one of only a few parties there. but because we were some of the only people in the restaurant, we got our first round of drinks not up to halfway through our main course (after a full round of appetizers) and we were not even offered water in the meantime and I could not get anyone the attention to ask for it. because we have so few people in the restaurant, we were clearly ignored for the great Christmas party that we could hear in the ground floor room that had sent tablet by drinks to them before our three cocktails arrived after minutes. When they finally arrived, the drinks were very good, but they don't wait. the food was usually delicious, the bisque caabe appetizer and croquettes were great, and for the pornstar we all had the plate of the day, a slowly baked bark dish that was delicious. everything was good again until dessert when the cream robe we were served, oil was pooled into the floor and seemed to separate, I tried to eat it, but it was really not edible. Overall, it was a very disappointing night, and it should be a graduation party that I mentioned in our reservation and was not mentioned or recognized at all. we will probably not return."

"Terrible experience. Table booked for 9pm but when we arrived it wasn't ready. They led us to the bar to wait there but the bar was full. So they seated us in the DJ booth for over 15 minutes. There were menus on the tables but no one came to take our order. The music was blasting so we couldn't have a conversation. Eventually we got our table. We ordered and tried to get out of there as quickly as possible as we couldn't talk. Why management are trying to turn a restaurant into a club is beyond me. There were a lot of older folks around and I don't think that was their vibe either. Food was mediocre at best. Wouldn't order the burger again."

"We arrived just before and were the first diners in . The Covid precautions seemed to be comprehensive but not unnecessarily obtrusive , there were bottles of hand sanitiser on every table . We were immediately shown to our table and able to order drinks immediately. Shortly afterwards our food orders were taken by a friendly waiter. The food arrived in a reasonable time cooked to order and was excellent quality and reasonable sized portions.By the time we had finished the restaurant area was filling up but there was not too much noise. I popped outside for a vape and it did take me a while to get back to my table due to queing at the 'one way' covid system but this didn't impact adversely. The staff were , by now, quite busy and it did take a while to get our bill , but we were in no particular hurry so wasn't a big deal. Overall a very enjoyable meal in pleasant surroundings with friendly , if a little busy, staff"

"Beautiful location. The food was good as well. The service was a bit slow. One thing I would say is that the tables could be a bit cleaner, and my water glass game with a hair in it. So, in terms of hygiene there can be a few improvements. I don't think I'm going back but it is ok for someone to go once to enjoy the nice view with some food."

"Phoned 4 times before answering. Told to come on. Reception was very poor/cold, very stand off ish.` Drinks ordered, never arrived. Sunday roast arrived with no veg? When asked about, waitress said sorry do you want veg? Meat, gravy, mash cold ish. Roast pots very hot, veg turns up half way through dinner cold ish, very limp. Drinks turn up towards end. Best bit was when the waitress cleaned the adjoining table and showered us (and our dinner) with whatever chemical they were cleaning the table with. We never ate after that. Weirdly, we paid without complaining but there didn't seem to be anyone available who gave a care and to be honest, we just wanted out with the least hassle. Had one negative experience before and don't know why it closed but had decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. Not for me, unfortunately."

"The food was very good, however, the service was quite slow. We were a large group of 10 people but drinks and food took quite a bit of time. Server was very kind but seemed the system wasn’t well done. We went another place the next night with 17 people and had much quicker service."
