From walking to the welcome desk, to leaving the restaurant, wow! The food was fresh, service amazing and every expectation was exceeded. Dale looked after us, gave recommendations and made sure we were happy with every aspect of the experience. We sat for a while and enjoyed a few courses, there was no rush or pressure. Their knowledge and experience is evident in the prep, cooking and taste. You 100% get what you pay for. Thank you for making our afternoon so special. We came for oysters, left with much more it was so nice.

The best creamy and tender oyster i ever had. Literally melting in your mouth. I kindly inquire their chef about the sauce on the side - simply mixed with shallot and red wine vinegar. I would never forget the splendid lobster as well. One of the few highest quality seafood bar in Newcastle I been over three times in one year.

Love the food and how hygienic and great quality the food is. Loved the staff as well. Not the biggest fan of the table seating arrangements and the high chairs I feel that it disrupts the dining atmosphere. But the quality of fish is great. I’ve attached photos from two different days.

Lovely spot in the main food hall. Very friendly service and oysters were superb. Go for the happy hour. Only negatives are the complete lack of windows / natural light which makes it feel like a gastronomical casino, although through no fault of their own; and the seats at the counter which are awkward and feel like they belong in Beverly Hills.

Highly recommend. I was really impressed with the tuna Ragu starter it was almost like mince but with that fresh tuna taste. The mussels were fantastic meaty and sweet not a chewy overcooked one in sight. The boys had the thai fish curry it smelt amazing big chunks of fish with a potion of jasmine rice our mussels came with a potion of thin chips I had a small handful and the boys had the rest. The sponge was heavenly, mum had the creme caramela personal, My brother had the chocolate mousse the berries were tasty and fresh the mousse was actually mousse like. Definitely one to try

I love the cosy intimate atmosphere when sitting at the bar area. We were attended throughout with offers of drinks and sauces. I 100% recommend the oysters! They were fresh and local. The hake was thick, seasoned and the salsa was delicious.
