Had the pleasure of an evening meal with the Irish Cruising Club at Brunels restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere made for a memorable evening. The front of house manager excelled and backed up by an excellent team provided faultless service.

A hidden gem that was recommended to us by family. Absolutely delicious meal with top class service. Would recommend to all! We will definitely be back again.

We went on a quiet evening, but this place is not to be missed.
Food was exceptional.
Vegetarian menu is great, I had celeriac and it was amazing. One of the best veggie meals I've had in Northern Ireland. I ordered potato gratin as a side, which was really tasty.
My husband had the tomahawk steak with signature sauce. This cut was well worth the extra money. Perfectly cooked, and served with large mushrooms/ veg and a side of chips.
Dessert was also really good, we had peach Melba, which was beautifully presented.
Thank you so much for a wonderful evening, amazing food and great service. We're looking forward to returning.

Went here for our wedding anniversary, Alan was so good and made a big deal of it. The food was so good I didn't want it to end.

Seafood Chowder was very good. Drinks were interesting and pleasant experience. Had a some chocolate dish which was a little more than my taste appreciated. Will return and try the lemon tart as I originally planned. Service was attentive and pleasant. Will return for the steak and lemon dishes.

I'm happy to say this is the best restaurant in Newcastle! I've had amazing vegetarian food here and have had great evenings here. But sadly it's hit-and-miss for vegetarian food. My flesh-eating colleagues love the food here and I wish the chef would work as hard at vegetarian fare. Food aside and turning to the wine list, this is the biggest miss here. The offerings by the glass are fine, as expected. On my latest visit, however I ordered the least expensive Bourdeaux which ~£60 for the bottle and far overpriced for the quality. Please ensure very good wines at mid-prices.

Staff were absolutely amazing. So knowledgeable and helpful. Obviously trained and perfectly so. They seemed happy in their work which is a lovely rarity.
Food was fresh and full of taste and presented beautifully.
Highly recommended

I liked the ambience. The staff were professional and attentive. My espresso martini was excellent and my wife's mocktail was similarly good. I really enjoyed the food. Well up to expectation and I'm happy to recommend it.

By far this is the best restaurant in Newcastle for modern fine dining but in a relaxed atmosphere.
I selected the 3 course meal from the special Sunday menu for 25 pounds.
I started with the soup of the day, potato leak soup. It was surprisingly green and excellent. Of note it was very (temperature) hot which is appropriate. The soup was well seasoned the way I like it, but I have a love of salt.
Next came the ham hock rillettes which were very porky and good, served with an excellent bacon jam. Vegetable sides were good and cooked properly. The mashed potato was especially good with obviously a lot of proper butter.
Lastly the dessert which surprised me. It was extremely good and although I was very full it went down too easy.
I arrived at noon when they opened and was the first diner of the day. By 13:30 the place was half full. The portions look smaller but are very filling and honestly I would be very happy spilling every course with another as it was a little too much food.
