Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. The steak was incredible - I think it's the best steak I've had in Newcastle (which is quite a claim!)
Fantastic evening , small restaurant but very cosy with a buzzy atmosphere .Food was great could have eaten everything on the clever menu . Staff very attentive and cant wait to go back.
Our first time at the retaurant, thoroughly enjoyed the food and overall experience. It offers something unique compared to other Newcastle restaurants, definitely be back.
Great food. Friendly staff. Lovely meal out. Will certainly visit again. Thank you for a great evening. . . . . . . . .
Unhurried relaxed atmosphere. Great service and great food. The ex milking cow steak was to die for. Snacks of oysters to get you in the mood, and giant profiteroles full of fresh fruit to end the feast. What's not to like?
4th visit and sadly probably the last. 1. Overwhelming smell of hot grease on entering the restaurant 2. 20 minutes before we succeeded in summoning attention to order drinks. 3. 50 minutes before starter arrived. 4.. Food perfectly acceptable if unremarkable. Please sort out your kitchen ventilation and service issues. You are losing customers.
Enjoyed our meal here in Jesmond. Could have shared the 'snack' pre starter of olives as there were so many, but otherwise the food was lovely - well presented and tasty. Not sure how often the menus changes but we'll go again, definitely.
Excellent dinner. Our starter of roasted beetroot in a light fluffy sauce and truffle was amazing, followed by the monkfish and a mushroom pappardelle.. both excellent. Well worth a visit and we look forward to returning. Good selection of wines by the glass at reasonable pricing.
This was our first visit and we were very impressed. The food was quite amazing with lovely tastes that complemented each other perfectly. I particularly liked my beetroot starter ant the other two were particularly impressed with their fish dish. The service was spot on. Knowledgeable, attentive without being over fussy.
Food and service were excellent as was the wine. Portion sizes were good. Wall and ceiling decoration is very dark and slightly oppressive. Would definitely recommend.
Really delicious food, great wine list, and the early bird menu price is a steal. Will definitely be bringing more people here. Great addition to Jesmond.
Excellent restaurant. Great food, good service, neighbourhood feel. An unpretentious place that makes you feel welcome and offers a menu that rivals anywhere else in the North East
Exquisite food, very good value for the quality of the food and the skill of the chef, lovely ambience and friendly attentive staff. I'll be going back soon!
Quirky place,plates and cutlery from the 1950's. Pretentious very limited menu. Chose our meals in advance from the web site, but on arrival were presented with a changed menu, which had nothing on I wanted to order. Girlfriend wanted lamb, had to have the monkfish, which she liked. Oysters were ok, but the crab farfalle looked like mush, and was full of crab shell. I gave up. Complained and was offered dessert, but still charged for uneaten food. £75 bill for appetiser, starter, main course and bottle of wine. Left hungry and very disappointed.
Incredible food and superb selection of wine, all at very reasonable prices. Definitely one of the top restaurants in Newcastle, will certainly be visiting again
Good food cooked well- no randomly scattered flowers or deconstructed nonsense. Restaurant a bit dark (and gets darker every time a bus or lorry passes by). No real atmosphere. Could do with more comfortable chairs.
A friendly and welcoming restaurant. The staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I had 3 courses, all of which were amazing. Fresh produce and very well cooked food. Great wine list. Highly recommended
Fantastic food, everything was extremly tasty,one of our guests had a special request for a veggie option,the chef created a dish on the spot wich was amazing, very well trained staff , highly recommended, will definitely going back
Simple and robust use of best ingredients...the kind of food yo actually want to eat rather than just look at! Big flavours, hearty portions and attentive service. We will be back.
We enjoyed a Lovely evening at the Patricia , wonderful food and attentive service , we will be back on our next visit to newcastle !
Overall an extremely disappointing experience. Overpriced, uninspiring food-the steak was excessively fatty (served with a big lump of fat in fact) .Despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, we sat for 15 minutes at the table without being offered a drink or being given much attention. So service ( although with a smile) was a bit lack lustre. The physical environment is a bit off-very dark and on a warm evening as there wasn't much in the way of aircon the door had to be propped open with the fire extinguisher allowing the noise of the traffic of the cradlewell to be the backdrop. The table was sticky to the touch. There is one unisex toilet which wasn't attended to- it wasn't clean. The wine was good. I won't be rushing back.
Beautiful food. Never got the dessert menu or offered a coffee but it was very busy, last ones out. Highly recommended and will return again
From entering to leaving The Patricia was a wonderful experience. The two young waiting staff were flawless in a very packed restaurant. The food was amazing and everything perfectly cooked and at a perfect temperature. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Decent food, quality ingredients, good cooking. Hearty portions. Excellent wine list. Good neighbourhood restaurant. Rather dark inside and other patrons seemed to be complaining about their wait for food although we had no issues.
Great food, good service and nice and cosy feel inside. Outside needs some work doing to modernise it and tables are abit wobbly and chairs not comfy. Definitely return though. It's a little gem.
Great staff, lovely restaurant. No one was phased when we asked for a vegan main course. Lovely artichokes. Lovely sourdough. Great place for a special meal. Would definitely go back.
fresh, light and flavoursome. the chocolate mousse overwhelmed , strong and good chicken liver pate and a perfect sandwich of cheese and cherry tomato - thank you
The food was unbeatable and the best I've had in Newcastle. The decor needs a lot of work (net curtains!), which unfortunately affected our experience.
happen to find a table at lunchtime having had no success for evening bookibgs. The food was tapas style and was wonderful and satisfying. Would definitely be back.
Minimum of 25 words - arm twisting review software - Patricia beware! Liked the food and service - would go back, quite rustic and relaxed but great flavours.
Did not have a good experience at The Patricia after looking forward to this based on a lot of peoples high opinion. The food was not as good as was expected and mostly tasted of oil regardless of what we ate. On top of this the in house ambiance did not allow for ease of conversation with a small space, loud music and poor acoustics.
Gorgeous food, cosy environment & good service. Had spider crab followed by sirloin steak, all presented beautifully, and very tasty. Liked the intimacy of the restaurant
Excellent food, great service. Wide range of wines. I can't wait to plan the next trip back to The Patricia. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
popped in for an early supper and really enjoyed the food - all course were delicious and I liked the fact the menu was small.
Fantastic food, great value and good service. Pleasure to visit for a second time and will do many more times, couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks Nick!
The food and tapas style lunch menu was amazing, however the interior could be decorated more as the look of the restaurant doesn't match the quality of the food and it was pretty dark insider so could do with better lighting.
Lovely intimate restaurant, very attentive and knowledgeable waiting staff and excellently cooked food with well sourced ingredients. Couldn't recommend it enough - Newcastle needs more places like this.
Amazing place. Wonderful food and great service. It was one of the best meals we've ever experienced. Great lighting and atmosphere too. We'll be back soon.
The Patricia is a hidden gem. Excellent food from a pared back menu where the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. Very nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Really enjoyable.
A little gem! Cannot recommend highly enough. Perfect blend of exquisite food, fascinating wine list, good ambiance and excellent service. I have visited twice now, and every dish has exceeded all expectation. Nick's balance of flavours is like no other.
One of the best meals I've ever had. Went for lunch sharing 8 dishes between two. Epoisses, sprouts, gnundi, lamb, mackerel, Harmon and chocolate mousse. Amazingly, delicious food. Great service. Thanks!!
The food is amazing: deft, complex, vivid. Great wine list and atmosphere too - I love the pared down presentation and informal mood. I've been twice now and each time it felt like I'd had a real treat.
Really excited about going to The Patricia. Whilst it was busy and had lovely staff, I found the decor/seating of the restaurant to be uncomfortable and grungy. Not what I expected at All from the website. I enjoyed my main and snack but found my starter to be a strange combination. Brussels, onion jam and Parmesan did not work for me! A good mid range restaurant but too over-hyped!
Most importantly the food was excellent. The ambience was perfect. We loved the place! However, the service was a little amateurish & rushed. When the quality of service matches the food the place will be faultless.
Took over one and a half hours for main meal to arrive. The waiter tried to blame us from only going from a snack straight to maIn course!!! Food was great though
Really great food and service - feels like a local neighbourhood bistro but serves really special food. Second time here and will be back again!
Delicious produce, well cooked and presented. Good service will go back. Friendly atmosphere. Very tasty slow cooked lamb with a variety of veg for maln. Delicious leek starter.
Tasty small dishes full of surpises. Cooking is first rate and ingredients of best quality. But please do something about the lighting. Second visit with friends who were impressed.
A really really great experience, with good atmosphere. Service was well judged and food really top notch. Very enjoyable, and hope we can be back soon!
Excellent, warm, friendly service. Fantastic food- we had something from all four courses! The Brussels sprouts startern was delicious. A really lovely night, we will definitely be back!
