Dined here with a table of 10 for Mother's day yesterday. We were visiting from Sydney, and thought this was the equal of any Sydney restaurant. Great service, food and atmosphere. Would definitely return. More

Based on my previous experience dining in this restaurant, I took an important client there and sung its praises. - how wrong can I be. The menu was very limited and uninviting, the service was average, the food quality was pub grub quality and the prices were still expensive. It started when I walked in the door and although there... More

Have been here twice since it changed hands last year. Both times I was very impressed, The only negative was on one occasion an over the top loud mouth camp person was unfortunately seated not far from me. His constant banter and passes at the wait staff were slightly distracting. More

What a wonderful restaurant. Great food, fantastic service. A must for all foodies when in Newcastle. More

The food is faultless, the menu often changes, the service is probably the best in Newcastle without being stuffy and on Friday / Saturday nights they often have their own pianist. More

The Bistro lived up to expectations, and its reputation of being among the finest dining in Newcastle. The scallops, bugs and king prawns on angel hair pasta was delicious, washed down with a Brokenwood semillon. The main course was angus beef fillet, and though delicious, the chef missed the 'pink' medium rare requirement, but only just. It was a superb... More
