The meat lacked something. It was tasteless. Chips where really chunky but if done right would of been amazing. I'm sure the wine bar/pub is better later in the day when it fills up but I won't be trying this visit this weekend.

It's been a while since I've eaten here, but I have still fond memories of the Geordie Steak Bake…read morepizza - a gorgeous, big, wood-fired creation topped with sliced steak, caramelized onions, cheese, and other good stuff (can't remember now - rosemary?) All the pictures of the food on their website look incredible, and the great thing is that's actually what the food looks like. The pizza was delicious, with a perfect crust, big flavors, juicy steak...I was in heaven. All the pizzas are unique and looked wonderful. My husband's lamb kebab was also pretty incredible - a huge platter of lamb served with woodfired flatbread, a variety of sauces, colourful salad, and pomegranate seeds. The food isn't cheap, but the portions were sizeable and the quality was excellent. It's clearly a popular neighbourhood place with friendly staff, who learn your name and make chat with you when they walk past the table. We'd love a return visit sometime - it's some of the best pizza in the area!

We reserved a table here early on a Saturday evening, and were not disappointed!…read more The restaurant is small, but has a good atmosphere. We had a window table that overlooked the River Tyne and enjoyed watching the ships and boats come and go. Although there are larger main meals, such as burgers, we chose to order three meat (think tapas size) dishes - chicken, spicy sausage and lamb kebabs. Alongside the sauces and side orders we ordered, they were absolutely delicious! The meal, including a bottle of wine, came to around £25 a head. Not too bad at all. Just a great place to eat out. We enjoyed the location, the service, the food and the venue itself - we'll definitely be returning!

I am primarily writing this review as a selfish American in the UK who has found a good Mexican…read moreplace and doesnt want it to close. This place does great Mexican food and drinks, so please go here so it will stay open! First, this place is a bit hard to find, but well worth a trip out to Sunderland (there are also other reasons to visit Sunderland, but this is the best one). Stairs lead down to a small restaurant from the main door. It is worth starting out with the homemade tortilla chips and getting a set of salsas. I like some heat in my salsa and some of the hottest ones really dont disappoint. The food here is great and really hits the spot for a Mexican craving. Options include tacos and burritos. We each had a burrito, one pork one chicken. The problem I usually find with UK Mexican is that it isnt well-seasoned enough and generally lacks flavor. The meat and toppings here do not have that issue. The burritos were big and filling. I missed having something on the side, like rice and beans though. That would really clench it for me. As for the drinks, there are tons of great cocktail options like margarits, mojitos, palomas, etc. as well as Mexican beer options like Modelo and Corona.

We stopped off for a couple of cocktails on the way back to our hotel. It was pretty quiet with it being on a Sunday night, however, we can imagine it can get really busy on a Friday and Saturday!

What a lovely cocktail bar this is...a fantastic new addition to the quayside! A classy and…read moresophisticated bar with stylish decor where the little details really make the difference and a relaxed atmosphere. Certainly a great place to dress up and add a bit of glamour to your night. It was my first visit to Tiger Hornsby's last night and I was so impressed that I think this will now become one of my favourite destinations for drinks. I absolutely loved it! The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, wearing smiles all round. Even on a busy Saturday night they still offered table service which is great...especially when you're comfortable on one of their lovely sofas! The drinks are pretty expensive to be fair....although we did arrive outside of happy hour so we missed the £4 cocktail deals. That said they have a fantastic selection of drinks available and I cannot wait to try some more cocktails. My only personal dislike was the shape of the wine glasses albeit a tiny gripe and certainly not a deterrent. Slightly quieter than some bars on a weekend, perhaps as it is a bit further along the quayside, but this makes it even more appealing and I think it still remains a hidden gem - long may it last! I cannot wait to return midweek and take advantage of what this amazing bar has to offer. Tiger Hornsby - no getting rid of me now!
