21 Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

We have been many times and it NEVER disappoints. Service with style and a smile. Food to die for. Excellent wines. What’s not to like!

The best restaurant in Newcastle ever.

Food was excellent, service impeccable, definitely a place for the special occasion

We went during the week for the fixed price menu which was excellent and good value. A lovely mid-week treat.

Lovely meal, dessert was amazing .

Simply outstanding. This was our first visit to 21, but it certainly won't be our last. We went for the fixed prices 2/3 course option, and I was a but concerned that we may just get 'standard ' restaurant food with that option, but I needn't have worried. All the food we had was of the absolute highest quality, including the best pork I have tasted since my father in law stopped farming and we could no longer eat his freshly butchered home-grown pork. The service was excellent; attentive but not pushy, and very cheerful and helpful. I absolutely could not find fault with anything.

Nice location, Staff are polite and professional and very welcoming, nicely laid out and a very nice ambiance. Excellent choice of wines, cocktails and none alcoholic drinks. We had Sunday lunch and there was a nice choice of starter, mains and desserts. The food was lovely and the presentation was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Good, the food is fresh, but there are not many options Prices are high

We stayed late and they didn't rush us out. Everything was amazing!

Been a number of times and the food is always great, portion sizes are pretty good too. Love the cheese souffle especially! Would recommend for a special dinner.

Had to review as I've just finished eating here and it was a superb experience. I am out of town working , I rang up first as I still had my work clothes on and the restaurant is pristine so thought I'd check the dress code first , lady told me I was fine so I walked over. Sat at the bar to eat , I served by 2 good lads. Had tempura prawns to start . Lovely and crispy and served with kimchi and small bit of caviar, must say delicious. Main course rib eye and really thin crispy fries and bernaise sauce perfect . Dessert was Chocolate tart with pistachio Ice cream and raspberries. The bread basket also was empty when I left as that was also delicious! I found the staff to be very attentive and charming. Great place , great staff , great food. I'm impressed and that takes a bit of doing when it comes to food ! Well done

Lovely food and lovely staff Will be back soon .

Superb restaurant. From the moment we arrived the staff were so friendly and professional. Amazing food.

My recent dining experience was exceptional. The ambiance was captivating, and the staff were highly professional. The wine selection was exquisite, and the starter by the chef was a masterpiece. Highly recommended for an extraordinary dining experience.

We had the set lunch at £30 for two courses and reading all the reviews with mentions of Michelin level dishes perhaps my expectations were too high! I had the Spiced Aubergine with flatbreads followed by the Fish Cakes. Our waiter mentioned that the Fish Cakes were always popular and were a staple on the menu though I found them abit lacklustre and lacking in taste. I've had better and cheaper. I couldn't believe just how busy the place was for a Wednesday lunchtime. Good for them!!

Excellent all round. Set menu was great value, staff were spot on !

Superb food, 1 to 2 Michelin star level. Taster menu was really good, amazingly well judged and executed. Friendly and pleasant staff, relaxed atmosphere where it is all about the food and the company.

We dine here regularly and I honestly can't think of a single time we've come away not raving about how fabulous everything has been. The service is attentive and friendly, the food is some of the best you will get anywhere in the north east and they have a great and varied wine list. No matter if it's Sunday lunch or a special occasion, 21 is always a winner. Huge thank you to all of the staff front and back - we will see you soon!

Came for a special family birthday. Made to feel very special! Very well looked after by Phoebe, who went above & beyond for us. Helped us with the menu, explaining dishes we didn't know & recommended the wine aswell! Very helpful & knowledgeable, & very patient with us, which was much appreciated. Food was delicious. Perfect portions. Service was perfectly timed. Will definitely be back, hope Phoebe will be there on our return! Thank you.

We came here to celebrate our mums 80th And always like to celebrate milestone birthdays. The staff are outstanding and food is always spot on. Jen is a diamond.💎 Would recommend to anyone and will continue to dine here! Well done to all of you!!!

This restaurant probably is one of the best ones at Quayside. I like the interior design and the service here. I was here for the duck but it's not on the menu anymore, so I only ordered their Terrine (ham with pistachio and truffle), which comes with pear and Saffron chutney, and it’s super tasty! The meat is so soft, and the pistachio and truffle are such a good touch to this dish, with the chutney on the top, the meat tastes so much better! It's a starter dish but it’s already quite a lot for me. I wanted to try their other dishes but they were all quite pricy. They have a lot of great meat dishes and good desserts which seem so good. I will come back to try something else in the future!

The team at 21 were so helpful on the phone and created such a lovely atmosphere for our event. They printed custom menus for us and allowed us to come in early and set up. They were very attentive all night and the food was delicious!

Absolutely incredible food and top notch service! Me and my fiancée visited for her birthday and we opted to try the seasonal multi-course menu (named ‘Bang in Season’). The flavours were delicious and varied, with a very high quality of cooking present. The dishes were served fairly quickly without any long delays, and the servers were courteous and attentive. The standout dish for us was the John Dory served with Pea puree, Bacon and Summer Truffle; absolutely sensational cooking. They even heard me mention that we were having a birthday celebration and brought a small piece of cake with a candle at the end, which put a massive smile on her face. Highly recommended for a special occasion meal or if you want something fancy for a reasonable price!

Excellent food and service as usual

Always nice when a restaurant shows some flexibility. I fancied the lamb on the tasting menu, could I have it as a main course. Of course, no problem. Well done. All round good food and excellent service. Good vibe.

Excellent food! Really enjoyed it

Oysters and fish soup outstanding. Monk fish a bit ordinary

The first time we've been disappointed, venison ragu, seemed like we got the end of the pot, meat was crusty on the outside and generally tough. Staff not as attentive as usual, was end of service but that hasn't mattered in the past.

Lovely restaurant. Beautiful linens, tableware and glassware. Professional and very welcoming staff. Can recommend Tournedos Rossini, made in the classic style with all of the rich, deliciousness you'd expect. Truly worth every penny. Great selection of wines, ports, cocktails etc. Early dinner special price is a bonus. All in all, a really enjoyable dining experience.

We visited 21 for a special occasion and had a marvellous evening. We started with excellent cocktails, French 75, which I found paired especially well with the oysters we ordered. We tried both the Sashimi and Tempura oysters and we loved them. The tomato ponzu gave the oysters a delightfully fresh zing while the oyster mayonnaise was very rich and full of umami. After the oysters we had the white asparagus with ham and truffle which was packed full of flavour. However the absolute star of our dinner was undoubtedly the Tournedos Rossini. The filet mignon was cooked precisely rare, as ordered, and it was beautifully seared on the outside and very tender and tasty on the inside. The seared truffle and foie gras gave the dish a luxurious richness which was perfectly offset by what tasted to me like mustard in the mashed potatoes which were smooth and buttery. The crown of potato crisps gave the dish an exciting crunch, which balanced the overall textures. Finally, the crouton under the steak tasted divine as it had soaked up the juices from the fillet and the Madeira sauce. I would certainly love to go back and try more of their menu and of course would recommend a visit

You cannot fault this restaurant. Honestly the food quality and the taste is amazing. Way above every other restaurant in Newcastle. If you like good food this is the place to go! Keep up the good work guys!

Went for Sunday lunch - they were a little busy and unfortunately the service suffered, it took an hour for the starters to turn up although party I was with made up for it with drinking expensive wine so maybe it’s a tactic :) . Food was great aside from soup starter which was quite poor and tasteless (Jerusalem artichoke) otherwise ok. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend overall.

Brian makes the best drinks in the world, and is a great guy. Brooke is a sweetheart, and great to talk to. Green dress (I think Kate) is my future wife, but she just hasn’t realized yet. Great restaurant! Highly recommend!

Well ….. what can I say? Ate the most delicious meal we’ve had in years in a restaurant. I honestly had started to believe that whilst many places are good - or even very good - most of the time I can make better at home! Tonight’s dinner proved me wrong and that you can find scrumptious food and wonderful service. We had the Tournedos Rossini tonight. Fillet steak as soft as butter on a crouton that had soaked up the excess juices, topped with fois gras (which I’m sure would have been ethically sourced), topped with black truffle, served with a rich Madeira Sauce, tender mushrooms, perfectly cooked green beans and a buttery mash potato. Absolutely yummy. I had crème brûlée for pud. The topping was thin and cracked perfectly to reveal the creamy custard beneath. It came with almond brown butter cake which wasn’t necessary but was thoroughly enjoyed. The staff are welcoming, really friendly, whilst staying efficient and professional. All in all we had a wonderful evening and can highly recommend this restaurant.

One of the greatest restaurants in Newcastle to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy an evening out. Superb food, attentive service and pleasant surroundings make for a great combination. I have never been disappointed at 21. Recommended.

Everything you want in fine dining.

Lovely tasty food very well presented. During restaurant week the price for 2 courses is also very attractive at £15. Staff were friendly and courteous and didn't rush the mean

Very Relaxed Family Easter Sunday Lunch. Admittedly not the cheapest Sunday Lunch but it was worth it because of the standard of food and service. An upmarket environment, relaxed atmosphere and attentive service without being intrusive. Would recommend if you’re looking for something a little bit special. Will be returning.

Booked this after looking at online reviews and was not disappointed. First time in Newcastle and the meal was well presented and delicious. Attentive staff and a pleasant restaurant made a great first night of our trip. A worthy visit if in town.

We booked for Sunday lunch whilst visiting Newcastle. We booked for 5pm but arrived early and they were able to accommodate us. The food was nice but when we compare to a fixed price Sunday lunch at a restaurant near us for a similar price, there is a massive difference in quality. It was average but nothing more than that. Service and staff were great and friendly.

Anniversary meal from start to finish a 100% experience. The staff were all amazing without being over the top. Kate especially took care of us. The food was perfect Need I say more

This is a restaurant that does things that matter really well. The staff are smart, efficient and friendly. The tables formally set with actual tablecloths. Bread and butter arrived without having to be ordered. A good selection of wines is available as a 500ml carafe and by the glass (mainly 175ml). The menu features classic dishes and seasonal ingredients. The Provençal Fish Soup had a good depth of flavour and classic French accompaniments; my partner’s crispy Tempura Prawns were enhanced by a delicious sauce. For mains we had a perfectly cooked piece of Skrei cod and an excellent portion of local venison from Kielder. We shared a Tarte Tatin with vanilla ice cream – sounds ordinary and potentially heavy but was anything but. Lots of soft yielding dark caramel-imbued apples with a delicate flaky pastry and super smooth ice cream flecked with real vanilla. The whole tarte was served at the table in a cast-iron pan; we helped ourselves to seconds. We were here for a special occasion and last visited 21 when it was in Queen Street – perhaps 25 years ago. So pleased to find 21 is still going, doing so well and every bit as good as we remembered.

Living at the other end of the country from my siblings, it's nice to be familiar and confident with a restaurant that can offer well presented and delicious food. Our experience starts with an aperitif in the reception area of Cafe21. This may not be everyone's strategy, but if your party is getting close to, or exceeding double figures, this allows for synchronized luncheon sitting, for early birds and late comers alike. This prelude also allows Cafe21's Team to acclimatize to the foibles and eccentricities of the particular party they are serving. The luncheon has its own pace with waiters and waitresses seemingly appearing when being sort, it's an art not to hover over the proceedings. Which brings me to Cafe21's Team, who meet all our expectations, I can only presume that much planing and preparation goes into the service they offer. They are; cheerful, knowledgeable, and helpful. The meal itself are my penultimate thoughts, that said, the food was delicious. But if I may offer a slight criticism it is this. I like seafood, which I know is less popular than things that grunt, moo, or baa. So the challenge for all restaurants who offer seafood dishes on their bill of fare is to get it right. In a perfect world, a bowl of muscles or crab as a starter would take prominence. I shan't bleat on! In closing if you lunch or dine in Newcastle and you haven't frequented Cafe21, I truly wonder, where have you been. Don't forget to tip. Kind regards Robert

Beautiful food,, friendly staff who didn't rush you.

Difficult to effectively review this as each guest had varying experiences. 3 stars because one meal was over salted, extensively so. This was the confit duck. Whilst it needs to be salted it tasted salty right through the dish. I had oysters very good but not a lot can be done to make them poor. Fish soup was rather bland, needs a little seafood to brighten up the flavours. Cheese soufflé starter looked delicious but my partner would not give me any? Blade of beef was very tender but just a little over salted, still enjoyable - just. Service was a little slow, felt like the kitchen needed some time. Desserts were a treat, very nice although the description of doughnut should read profiteroles. Would I go back, think it’s a maybe.

Was surprised I visited 21 Queen Street in the past and at the Ackley Heads venue never a disappointment however not so on this occasion. The soup rather than as described a fish soup was a bisque and the duck was so salty was inedible. Style over taste!

The atmosphere was lovely and the service was good. However, the food was disappointing. 1 guest had a dairy allergy and the options were very limited and plain.

I chose this restaurant for a date. The service attitude is very good and the environment is nice. I like the steak and duck liver the most.

We visited this restaurant whilst visiting our granddaughter what a wonderful place the staff are so friendly nothing is too much trouble for them they do so much for you taking your coats pouring you drinks we must mention molly such an amazing person she looked after us so well thank you for a fantastic evening the food is another matter it was absolutely out of this world highly recommended the tuna starter the beef for main baked alaska for pudding delicious hubby tempura prawns beef and cream brule cannot wait to go again thanks so much 21 restaurant

We have been going to 21 for several years and it is consistently excellent. The service is efficient and we love the food. The early evening dinner is particularly good value, although for a special occasion the a la carte menu cannot be beaten. There is always a fantastic selection of options available although I struggle to resist the Spinach and Cheddar Cheese soufflé for starters. This is a very reliable restaurant in Newcastle and we always know that we are going to enjoy our evening there.

Great service, friendly staff, top quality food cooked and seasoned to perfection, so tasty. Best ive had for a while.

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Fine dining at its best. The food is exquisite and cooked to perfection. It has a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere and doesn't feel too formal or stuffy like some posh nosh places do. The staff are so attentive yet aren't overwhelming. I cannot find with anything. Certainly one of my faves and already counting down to my next visit.

Name name name nomma name name....name

The atmosphere was poor, we were pretty much eating in the kitchen. The food was good but not great. Took over 45mins for the food to arrive. They didn't have all the drinks on the menu. Overpriced and average experience. Would not recommend.

* Took a hit at Blackjack or ‘21’ if you will • Quite the win at this table * Despite only living within several hundred yards (as the kittiwake flies) of ‘21’, I had yet to set foot in this eatery… Newcastle’s January ‘Restaurant Week’ proved the catalyst. The place was packed to the rafters. Admittedly, I was a little anxious about a dilution in quality given the crowd. What a silly presumption. We were shown to our table which was nestled within the classier end of the establishment. The ‘big hitters’ had arrived, they no doubt thought. One of my fellow companions was raving excessively about the bread pre-visit. Baked on site, word has it. He was wolfing it down and the baskets kept on being replenished. Dry January has put a bit of a spanner in the works whilst out socialising this month. I was pleased however that there were non-ethanol based options on the menu. Good work. My two comrades ordered the cheddar cheese and spinach soufflés to kick things off which were a sight to behold. No skimping on the portions. They were nearly comatose afterwards mind you. I opted for the lighter terrine of local Geordie deer and a German turnip (‘Kohlrabi’ if we are being pedantic). When full consciousness had been regained the mains were thrust upon us. 2 glorious plates of substantial pork belly with gorgeous red cabbage and a Spanish black pudding. How very continental. The bread fanatic opted for the beef medallions which also looked a treat; I’m not a ‘mushroom sort of guy’ but even the fungi across the table were tempting me, as they lounged seductively on top of the meat. It was then time for the desserts to take centre stage. I flirted with an orange tart (from Seville). Very sophisticated however. The ginger cake with toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream also looked delectable. The 3 courses we received for £25 were just formidable. In our current heavily inflated world this was the finest music to my ears. The service was impeccable too and even drew a tip from myself, which is a rarity these days. Genuinely impressed. ‘21’ absolutely aced it!

Cannot praise this amazing establishment enough. Food was outstanding - husbsnd had cheese and spinach souffle and then we had roast beef sunday dinner - outstanding - pudding was marmolade pudding ( highley recommend and rhubarb sorbet - just perfect- from start to finish all amazing - thank you so much😁

First time at 21. Although we often go to cafe 21 in Fenwick. It's restaurant week and we didn't know what to expect. Well let me tell you it was absolutely amazing. My wife and I both had the souffle starter. Excellent. I had the pork belly main with red cabbage, and black pudding in a quenelle type affair and loved it. My wife had gnocchi and you know how that can be hit or miss. Well she adored it. My dessert was White Chocolate Chiboust with Tropical Fruits. Lovely,light and refreshing. My wife had ginger pud with toffee sauce and ice cream which almost finished her off 😁. Delicious. The service was impeccable and a special shout out to the girl working our station. We were table 5. Incredible value. We will definitely be back soon.

Great restaurant week experience - we hope to return

We booked for Restaurant week and it was just a delight from start to finish . I was so impressed by the Maitre de who was so so polite and helpful he is a credit to the organisation . After enjoying a pre-meal drink in the bar area we were shown to our table and their the opulence the Restaurant is known for was all too apparent beautifully crisp linen table cloths and napkins , table perfectly set and then the food! Despite it being a special promotional event the food showcased what this restaurant is all about sheer quality of the food and the service . The staff could not have done more and the Chefs are clearly so passionate about the ingredients and the food they produce . I thoroughly enjoyed each of the three courses . I observed many other dishes being delivered to other tables and they simply exuded quality. The balance of the flavours was perfect . I had locally sourced Roe Deer terrine served with a complimentary relish and a really refreshing kohlrabi and Sugar snap pea salad just perfect. The main of perfectly prepared cod with Morecambe Bay shrimps, samphire and cream potato was a sheer delight , perfectly white flakes of cod , simply melt in the mouth flavoursome food. Hard to choose but perhaps the dessert was the most accomplished and favourite dish I experienced . A white Chocolate Chiboust [I had to google it before I attended the Restaurant] was very light and delicate perfectly complimented with some tropical fruit lychees, mango , passion fruit , a quenelle decorated with gold leaf balanced on top just perfect. Finally I would like to thank Rachel who ensured this was a such wonderful experience , nothing was too much of a problem and Rachel went that extra mile to make sure this was something to treasure . A huge thank you to 21's staff for making this a wonderful day out.

An excellent meal to celebrate my wife's birthday. I had duck as main course which was superb, i have only given 4 stars as we had to ask for the vegetarian menu despite being given an ensemble of other menus on being seated which in my view should include the vegetarian menu.

We went to celebrate a Birthday which is always a bit tricky so close to Xmas but were aware of the Xmas menus, so that was fine. Always look forward to a visit to Café 21 but on arrival this time, it was a lot...

As per usual another delicious lunch. The service was excellent as always apart from asking for a dairy free pudding and as it was placed down before me I was told by the waitress that it wasn’t dairy free, I ate it and it was...

repeatedly goodfood and wine served with knowledgeable staff. fillet steak always perfectly cooked, awesome onion rings. hard to beat for high quality service serving high quality food and possibly the greatest desserts. williams pear with baked salted caramel ice cream remains my favourite ever! ps oysters here are immense

They had us in and out in 40 mins 2 courses) and £112 light. Food was ok and everyone polite but expect more for the money. Could of been in KFC longer

Great festive menu at 21. Wide and interesting choice for our party of wide age and tastes. We particularly enjoyed the cheese souffle, pheasant, the chestnut pie (v), fresh doughnuts and chocolate souffle with caramel sauce. Good selection of wines. Pleasant atmosphere and full of diners. Excellent all round.

We decided to have lunch at 21 after Christmas Day. A good decision, they had modified the Christmas Fayre, replacing Turkey with Duck and improving in our opinion the Cod. All agreed our different choices were at least very good with some excellent. With attentive...

Food is amazing. Staff are excellent.

We had such a special time for our anniversary. Thank you for the delicious food and brilliant service 👏 😀

Booked for a special birthday but available Menus were Christmas food themed, we wanted the taster menu, as shown on the website but it wasn't available. Food was pretty average at best. Service was a bit slow. 35 minutes before order was taken.. Half the...

I am absolutely disappointed. My husband booked us a place here as we enjoy fine dining and had visited blackfriars on Wednesday during our week stay at the Vermont hotel. I want to say that the service is better that blackfriars but the food is...

Always a great experience to dine at 21.

Great place, excellent food. Try the liver.

Very, very solid. Really enjoyed it, but just a touch off where I'd have hoped food-wise. Lovely space. Excellent layout. Seems very popular so goodly amount of pleasant hum of happy diners. Accessibility is good and single level. Restrooms were immaculate. Staff seemed nice, unobtrusive but appropriately attentive to requirements. Well trained, respectful and polite. Makes it all the more disappointing that I was slightly underwhelmed by the food. My steak Tartare starter was a bit too enthusiastically seasoned with tabasco to taste much else. Onto the main and my venison was supposed to be served pink, but in reality was a bit over that. Relatively small things, but things a place like this should get right. The crab lasagne however, which sounded weird, was some sort of delightful soufflé-esque concoction and absolutely excellent. Speaks to a quality and talent in the kitchen. Generous quantity of food provided, certainly didn't leave hungry. For the setting, the price and the general excellence of everything else, I did expect top quality to arrive on my plate, and it fell slightly short of that. Taittinger by the glass. Oysters were Lindisfarne and of excellent quality. Hefty wine list. Various price options catered for. We went with a French Malbec that was just about in the upper end of the more reasonably priced options and it was quite the treat.

Incredible. It's not often you take your first half a bite and you're in food heaven. At "21" you are. Excellent team, very friendly, great advice on food and wine pairings. I had the scallops, roe deer and creme brulé - couldn't fault any of them! Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back. Great for special occasions, business meetings, or a romantic dinner.

The restaurant does have a really good vibe about it & the staff are lovely. The food is good too.

Great lunch in August. My friends and I are regulars here and booked for a Xmas lunch months ago. Then out of the blue this weekend i received an email demanding a non refundable of £60 to be paid by card over the phone or...

We were warmly greeted and offered prosecco when we arrived for the 90th Birthday celebrations. Once seated in the private room the meal was superb and the service was excellent. A totally memorable occasion!

simply fantastic. The three course fixed option is tremendous value and food of the highest quality. Dessert doughnuts to die for!

Once again a very good evening at 21. It was a menu set around wagyu beef, & it was fab. From the wagyu cottage pie onwards . The wine pairing was very nice as well. The only gripes I have was that the room seemed...

The Waghu beef night was outstanding with amazing wine flight to accompany the food. What more can I say?

Amazing food and great staff but there always one drunk idiot who is so loud they spoil it for everyone in the place as everyone is in pretty close proximity to each other. I'm sure the atmosphere would be great on a quieter night. Or staff could remind people to have some respect for all their other customers.

We had the 5 course seasonal menu with accompanying wine flight which was all delicious. The chef was also able to substitute or modify some dishes to cater for allergies in the party. Service was all excellent and the whole meal was nicely paced with breaks where needed. We also opted for the optional cheese course with port.

Fabulous food and service. Brilliant!!

Fantastic service and food, most enjoyable evening made special by the staff...

Great food, had an amazing Sunday roast with my friends. A bit expensive but worth it! Atmosphere is nice and the service is excellent! Will definitely come back

Just the best. An institution that has kept its place as one of the best places to eat in the north east. The quality shines through, no single dish to highlight as they are all so carefully crafted. A big shout out to the staff who are always most welcoming without being over the top.

The food was absolutely delicious, the monkfish was cooked to perfection, I hope this won’t ever be taken off the menu!! Can highly recommend the chocolate and hazelnut mousse for dessert. The service was great, friendly but not overbearing and the courses came out at a good pace. Don’t miss this place!

Absolutely amazing The price for the 3 course meal outstanding Best food I've had in a long while

Every time I eat at 21, I wonder why we don’t come here more often! The food here is always lovely, I’ve never had a bad meal here which is something I can’t say about many restaurants, and the service is just perfect. So many...

Visited early on Tuesday evening. Didn’t think we’d need to book, but very glad we did as was very busy. Had a tasty meal from the set menu. Highlights included the ceviche and slow cooked beef. Was excellent value and service was great. Highly recommend...

Think l chose the wrong day to pop in full of baby buggies and children noisy , uncomfortable to the point l left didn't drink my coffee and didn't finish my scone. I won't be going back.

A lovely quiet spot to have a romantic meal, and some champagne - the waiter service was incredible and they were very friendly

First time dining at 21, and extremely impressed by the professionalism of front of house staff as well as the quality of food so hats off to the kitchen also. Were seated 30mins after our chosen time of 19:30, although this didn't spoil the night, we did wonder whether there comes a point where a complimentary beverage might be offered even though our purchased drinks had been provided. Tables were available for us to be seated so can only surmise that they weren't able to cater for a full restaurant that night. Anyway, amazing food and evening for our Birthday celebration!

Although the food was excellent & the barman mixed a great negroni unfortunately the rest of the service was extremely poor. We had the 3 course set menu at lunch time but the only staff contact was when the food & bottle of wine was...

A beautiful course in a beautiful setting. The staff were amazing.

21 is a terrific restaurant - connected somehow to Cafe21 and the Saltwater Fish Company at Fenwick's - this place is down close to the Quayside hidden round the corner. It is fabulously luxurious and highly atmospheric. The food is really excellent to say the...

Pleasant surroundings .Went for lunch with friends ,staff friendly and helpful . Would have given full stars but we had to wait a long time for desserts and didn't think they were worth the price paid.

21 is a smart restaurant with high quality food. We enjoyed the food and wine. It did lack in atmosphere being a little frantic. Maybe we were unlucky.

Great service and the food was really well presented and tasty. Not the cheapest or quickest service but not enough to take away the 5* for how friendly and kind all the staff were.

Managed to get here at last! Worth the wait. Fabulous food, atmosphere and staff. Early bird menu was very good. I'll be back. 😋
