Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Newcastle-under-Lyme

The kitchen clearly understands the delicate dance of heat and time required for a truly exceptional steak. My dining companion's blue, a whisper of sear on the cool, crimson heart, was precisely as requested – a testament to the chef's precision. My own medium-rare, a shade warmer, boasted a meltingly tender texture and a depth of flavour that spoke of quality cuts. The service, too, was a delight. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff demonstrated a genuine knowledge of the menu and a knack for anticipating our needs. Empty glasses were never left lingering, and their cheerful demeanour only enhanced the already convivial atmosphere. The restaurant itself exudes a certain understated elegance; the décor complements, rather than competes with, the artistry on the plate. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere, the staff were great energetic and friendly. Enjoyed the cocktails and lager whilst waited to be seated for our meal. The food was fantastic we upgraded to the chateaubriand which was a great choice but could of had more sides offered than the 2 as wasn't enough to share really but overall a great evening The champagne was a nice gesture from staff to celebrate our night. Thanks again and would definitely recommend..

We chose the valentine dining menu, food is good and the seats are comfortable. We did have to wait for 30mins for a table despite we booked in advance. But overall is a good night

I booked a table for Valentine’s Day around 5 months ago now and WOW this food did not disappoint! I got the carbonara whilst my partner got the beef ragu pasta. Although both were absolutely gorgeous (and definitely some of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten) I definitely had food envy from my partners plate haha! We started with the focaccia and trio of butters which was stunning, and I must not forget to mention how good the home made lemonade is!! As a huge pasta lover this is HEAVEN for me. I’d also like to thank our server (I’m unsure of his name but it was a young man with curly hair and a blue jumper) as he was AMAZING all evening. He was very attentive, explained dishes on the menu thoroughly and overall gave great customer service with a smile! Please ensure he gets the praise he deserves for this because I can hands down say that’s some of the best service I have received in years and that should be recognised!! Thankyou again x

Great experience. Staff amazing. Big shout out to ely who was very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go again.
