Most were vey decent, however, a mistake was made on one and when it finally came back the meat was tough. In addition, the bottomless fries are replaced quite slowly. Overall, positives, but something missing.

As was the scalloped potatoes au gratin, which my wife hadn't had in forever due to it normally being made with gluten. We enjoyed some great eats there and the cocktails were good as well. The Parisienne cafe design is wicked nice and cozy. Being that it was cold during that evening in Newcastle, the yellow-ish warm wall tones and warmth of the dining area especially across from the bar as we enjoyed seating overlooking the street put us at ease. The service was solid albeit a little slow at time during our stay there. The only thing I didn't like was whatever large party was seated in the back while we were eating there that were loud, howling, and wailing. That was a bit annoying. But otherwise, we enjoyed our meal there.

When we made the reservation we asked what the dress code was, no mandatory dress code, we dressed up (cocktail/wedding like attire) anyways & glad we did. Everyone was in at least a button up shirt and slacks, some had coats. The atmosphere was classy. We weren't sure if we needed to make a reservation but glad we did, it was a busy Saturday night. The food portions were filling. The food was delicious. Also ordered the Duck Fat Chips, a glass of white wine recommended with the meal, and Escargot (forgot to take pics of these). The escargot was amazing. The food was appetizing to the sight. It was evident much heart went into each dish. The staff was polite and attentive. The price was reasonable for the quality and portion. Will definitely be going back because there are many more items on the menu I'd like to try. Do recommend.

My partner and I ate here recently on a visit from Manchester…read more Delicious food and a good choice of wines. However, the only locally-sourced food on the menu seems to be Minchella's ice cream, this was quite disappointing. Romano's is amazingly over-ambitious with pricing. £20.00 for a sirloin of steak? We're used to paying a lot less for food of the same (and better) par. £4.50 for a small bowl of olives, too. It would be great to see some sort of meal deal at Romano's - our fave restaurant, 'Room', has an excellent 50% off all food before 7pm. Maybe for an out-of-town restaurant, Romano would benefit from something like this.

Went here for a Saturday lunch and it is REALLY deserving of 5 stars…read more Great classically Continental food which is high-end (more so for dinner) but just delicious and so worth it if you can treat yourself. Great for lunch and I highly recommend the set menu with an appetizer and entree or entree and dessert for £16.95. Or you could splurge and get all three for £20. The portions aren't huge but you will leave satisfied. I recommend Mediterranean-anything here as well as the lamb and spiced couscous. The steak was lovely and the desserts are normally cream-based delights. They aren't as nice as the appetizers and mains, though. If you are really wanting to hear a negative...that's it! It's not like other places which serve you pretentiousness and mediocrity. The food is deliciously epicurean and the place is posh. In fact, there was an intimate bridal lunch at the table next to us. The wait staff is really friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the cuisine. Hat's off! Basically, a stylish modern bistro leaving you with a gourmet gastronomic experience. Sets the bar high for competing Newcastle restaurants!

The few times I have eaten here I have had breakfast items. All were above par. The quality is really nice and above your average cafe and the rest of the items on the menu looks to be more than your typical cafe fare. The ambiance is nice, though a bit small, with option to eat downstairs in the more casual area or upstairs with table service. Prices are also quite reasonable with some very good specials. The best thing about this cafe might be the service. It is some of the best I have had in all of the UK.

Ugh, never again. My first and last time at The Forth…read more We live nearby and popped in here on Easter to grab some lunch. We were worried it would be booked up, but there were free seats, so we grabbed one. We decided on some food and drinks and one of us headed to the bar to order. 20-30 minutes he hadnt returned and I began to wonder if something terrible had happened. No, it was just that the bar only had one person taking all the food and drink orders and thats how long it took to get an order in. Cut to another 30-45 minutes later and we still didnt have our food. The server told us several times that it was coming, but it just kept taking longer and longer. For some reason everyone else around us was arriving, ordered, getting their food and leaving in the time it took us to order and wait for our food. It was a mystery. We finally received our food and all was fine. I ordered a huge chicken roast and had a ton of chicken leftover. I HATE wasting food, so I asking if I could get some kind of container to bring it home and the server looked at me like I was a crazy person and said she would have to ask the chef. She then informed me that because of health and safety reasons (?) the chef said I could not take my leftover chicken. Let me just says that though I am American, I have lived in Europe for 9 years and I get that some places refuse to give you doggy bags, saying it is for 'health and safety', but really its just for looks and the chef's sense of pride. This is ridiculous and a huge waste of food. I should have just said OK and then wrapped the chicken in a napkin and taken it home anyway. This was the final straw on a long, semi-ridiculous trip to this place that ensured we will not be back.
