"The positives are that the room was cosy very comfortable. However, we were attending a wedding, when we returned to the hotel in the early hours of the morning to find we’d been locked out, no one on reception or answering the call buzzer that went directly to an EE mobile message which left no option of details or able to leave a message. We were very lucky that we had friends staying in the same hotel which we could contact and were able to let us in. Never experienced that in a hotel before. Then unbelievably the same thing happened again on the Sunday night, unfortunately this time we didn’t know of anyone staying in the hotel. Thankfully, the bride groom live 15 minutes away from the hotel, so we walked back to theirs. When asking the manager, the next day what time was the curfew he explained there isn’t a curfew it’s all depending on who is still in the bar that night if the bar staff is happy to stay on. At no point of our arrival was this lack of information was given to us."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Harbour Front Bistro and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the haddock and chips. The fish was incredibly fresh, flaky, and cooked to perfection, while the chips were crispy and delicious. It was a classic dish that truly hit the spot. In addition to the haddock and chips, we decided to explore their tapas offerings. The ribs were a true standout, with tender meat that practically melted in our mouths. The salt and pepper squid was a delightful surprise, with a perfectly crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful center. And the salmon fish cakes were a delectable treat, bursting with flavor and complemented by a crispy outer layer. But what truly set the Harbour Front Bistro apart was its stunning sea view and ambiance. The restaurant is situated right on the waterfront, allowing us to enjoy our meal while taking in breathtaking views of the sea. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Not only was the food exceptional and the setting breathtaking, but the service at the Harbour Front Bistro was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, my visit to the Harbour Front Bistro exceeded all expectations. The haddock and chips were divine, and the tapas selection, including the ribs, salt and pepper squid, and salmon fish cakes, were all absolutely delicious. The sea view and ambiance added an extra touch of magic to the experience. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers incredible seafood, a wonderful tapas menu, and an amazing sea view, the Harbour Front Bistro is a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough."

"2nd time here gave it the benefit of the doubt, arrived at 5:45pm, no one to greet us or the other family that arrived at the same time to check in. Shown to table and drinks ordered quick service and friendly waitresses. Ordered the starters and mains, to then be told there was no fillet left (at least 3 tables after us asked for the fillet too , maybe when showing people to their table things that have ran out could be mentioned then? The fillet must be a favourite as it had ran out last time we were there too. 40 minutes later our starters arrived, I had ordered the Wagyu brisket BIG MISTAKE! 95% Fat and 5% beef/meat…(see the pic was lovely presented! The waitress was lovely and took it back, for the chef to try and pan it off as “it’s a fatty cut” brisket does have fat but also includes more than a tiny sliver of meat. They offered to cook another which also suggested that they knew it wasn’t it, but I could be wrong. After the 40min wait and poor start we were just looking to get our mains and leave. The mains came…wagyu burger, again big mistake. The chips were lovely. The burger, well I could hardly cut it with the knife as it was rock solid far too over cooked, quite like the bun which had been cremated and was the stodgy iest “brioche” bun I’ve ever had. We got the bill and realised that we had been charged £2 for the cheese (which had been burnt too although it’s advertised as cheese bacon £2 so you’d think it would be £1 each. By this point we just wanted to leave, the food was awful. Would not recommend to anyone and most certainly will not be returning. Which is a shame as it could be such a great place and seeing the photos on trip advisor make it look lovely!"

"Haven’t visited this place for a long while and unfortunately after our experience I won’t be rushing to return. Such a shame as previously had really good times here. We arrived and the staff on the bar were to be fair very helpful and saw to us straight away, we informed them we had a table booked and she took us straight through, telling us we could place an order for drinks at the table and that it would be table service. They didn’t actually come to take our drinks order for over 20 minutes. Finally took our drink order and then had another 25 minute wait until the drinks arrived! In this time we had placed our food order and it was only that I asked the waiter taking the food order where our drinks were that he went to check. Otherwise, who knows how long we would have waited! Water was requested and arrived room temperature with red hot glasses straight out of the dishwasher, the result being Luke warm table water. No ice was offered. The food was VERY slow to arrive, we only ordered one course but we waited 50 minutes from ordering to the food actually arriving. And when it did it was Luke warm, and tasteless. I had the lentil and mushroom tagliatelle which was a tiny portion at a whopping £16, Luke warm and with absolutely no flavour at all. The other main ordered was nut roast, which looked nice however the feedback was that the nut roast was like packet sage and onion stuffing mix with some nuts sprinkled on top. Unfortunately we won’t be returning. Food was overpriced, Luke warm, small portions, long waiting times and seriously bland. Someone needs to buy them some herbs and spices and get some depth of flavour in those dishes!"

"Updated 10/10/2023 What sets this bar apart is its fantastic, down-to-earth staff, with the super-friendly Katie and Mary leading the way. We all chose from the special menu and kicked back in the upper bar area. Katie and Mary not only met but totally exceeded our service expectations, making our experience seriously awesome. And the food? It was on point, leaving us totally satisfied. So, if you ever find yourselves in Newcastle, definitely check out Quinns! In the heart of Newcastle lies Quinns bar... One of my favourite local bars. (Great beer, lovely food and fantastic staff!"

"Location: In the leisure complex, right opposite the Hollywood Bowl Decor: Nicely lit, no blazing lights, and overlooking the casino floor. Pop music playing at an acceptable volume. Neat and clean. Seating: We got seated straight away after playing on the roulette table. Nice solid...wooden tables, and nicely spaced apart. Service: Ok, our order was taken in a few minutes and we didn't have to wait long before the grub arrived. Pleasant waitress, and she took our order after a short while. It wasn't very busy as we dined early at 5.30ish. Food: We ordered 1 x Burger with cheese and bacon, with fries, 1 x Chicken Avacado Bacon Sald, Garlic bread with cheese, Garlic mashed potatoes. **** Mary for me....(average)....and a coke for her. Food was demolished, and the portions were better than we are used to. We were both impressed. Price: ÂŁ28, so that's a real good price for a tasty meal. Overall we gave it 9 out of 10. Atmosphere was fine. Not a massive menu to choose from, but that was a positive, so we weren't scrolling through loads of pages. Great to have this restaurant on our doorstep. We will certainly be visiting again. An enjoyable dining experience, even though I lost ÂŁ30 on the games...but my daughter left ÂŁ20 up....hehe"
