"I don’t give it a full five stars, however, due to the inconsistency in how some staff members manage the seating process. A few weeks ago, I made a reservation and also visited without one on a separate occasion. Both times, we were told to wait in the bar area. On our first visit, I arrived about ten minutes early and was told I couldn’t sit down before my reservation time. That was fine; I understood. However, I was instructed to take a seat and wait. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, and after our booking time passed, we had to remind the staff that we were still waiting. Eventually, they informed us there would be a 45-minute wait for food, something they hadn’t mentioned while directing us to wait in the bar. Today, I didn't make a reservation again. I believe the same person was at the reception. I asked if we could have a table for two, and again, we were told to sit and wait. It seemed a bit silly since the restaurant was only about a third full. I was informed there would be a 20-minute wait for dinner, which was acceptable. After we sat down, we noticed that other patrons who arrived after us were also waiting for a table and eventually left because of the odd waiting situation. There were no clear indicators that we were waiting for someone to seat us for dining, and the staff member who initially asked us to wait never returned to check on us or inform us that we could be seated in the dining area. It was confusing, and it shouldn’t feel rude to ask the staff about seating; there should be better communication. Overall, the experience could be improved with better service coordination."

A great place to meet a friend I've not seen in a long time, the drinks were lovely, chips hit the spot the atmosphere was perfect. I had an espresso Martini and pink lemonade and would 100% recommend these to everyone.

I absolutely loved it! From the beautiful design and decor to the attentive service, everything was fantastic. I ordered the house beef burger, and it was incredibly delicious and fresh. The vanilla espresso martini was also amazing! I will definitely recommend this place and will be back for sure!

Nicely curated, certainly cosy interior. Really great place to go for dinner and a warm atmosphere. The food is top tier and the staff is helpful although a bit overly ceremonious. It’s a great place for brunch or dinner. I’ve tried the warm sourdough, spring risotto and vegan vanilla cheesecake all of which I would highly recommend. Will be coming back soon.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and was impressed by the staff and the ambiance. We were quickly shown to our table and given menus. Since it was 11:45 AM and the breakfast menu was being served, we ordered two cups of tea. We explained to the waitress that we were interested in the lunch menu. She returned shortly before noon to take our orders. We decided to share a few small plates between the two of us. The food was absolutely fantastic, and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back! View menu

Lovely place to meet up with friends or even take in the views. Yet to try the food, the drinks are delicious and for the prices its worth the services, a classic warm atmosphere along with excellent trained staff and how easy it is to socialise. Only downside I can think of would be the paths, its not Cosy Club's issue, it's the councils fault, can be a tad tricky accessing the paths on rainy days so take care when going here. Over all 5 stars all round! Would recommend anyone visiting Durham to give the river restaurants and pubs a try, unique experiences with both staff and quality :

Meal Type: Dinner Price per Person: £20–30 Food Rating: 4/5 Service Rating: 4/5 Atmosphere Rating: 3/5 Recommended Dishes: Pulled Pork Parking: Limited availability I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and had a great experience. The food was delicious, particularly the pulled pork, which I highly recommend. The service was attentive and friendly, contributing to a pleasant evening. However, the atmosphere could use a little improvement, as it felt somewhat lacking in ambiance. Additionally, finding parking in the area posed a challenge. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual dinner!
