Staff were ok but the service was terrible, waited approx one hour to be served our food and then when it did come one item was wrong but they did correct this when I informed them. The food was edible but I ordered tempura prawns and the batter was very thick same with the fish gougons. Not impressed and will not nutty back

I came back to this place to get the amazing steak and eggs I had the last time, and how I was disappointed with the same meal today, it was absolutely drowned in hollandaise sauce and that made the bread soggy and I couldn't really taste the food. The 2 other breakfasts were spot on, made to perfection 👌

We were a party of 2. Out for a lovely walk, and ended up in tynemouth, and thought we would grab a breakfast and a cold drink. So many beautiful places to choose from, but thought we would give ORA a try. What a mistake that was. I ordered Eggs Benedict, and my sister ordered a sausage sandwich. We waited 45 minutes before asking at the bar where our order was! )We had watched them bring out the wrong food to the wrong tables, then disappear back upstairs with it!) The girl behind the bar was pretty clueless and made up some excuse about something not working after going up to the kitchen to see where our food was. She eventually came and said they can make us our food but it would be another 15 minute wait, which we agreed to and asked for another round of drinks. The breakfast eventually came. The egg was hard poached and not soft (eggs Benedict is soft poached) and there was actually only 1 egg between the 2 toast 😂. The drinks order never turned up, you couldn’t write it 😂. We watched another 2 families get up and ask for a refund as they had clearly got tired of waiting with no communication! The place wasn’t very busy, hence why we were surprised at the lack of communication, and lack of customer service! I tried to contact them via Social Media, because I feel it’s only fair to give someone the chance to rectify problems, but they have read the message and never bothered to get back to me. VERY POOR SERVICE, and MAJOR lack of customer service

Went for a birthday meal and was very disappointed. We waited over 1 hour for our food. When it arrived the order was incorrect. We ordered pulled pork nachos and the meat sizzler with fries. The fish sizzler arrived and no pork on the nachos. They took the fish sizzler away but left the nachos and fries. We were told 7 mins for the remaining food but this took 20 mins, by this point the chips were cold so we had just meat and no nachos as we ate those while waiting. The sizzler was disappointing and just not enjoyable. There was no belly pork as advertised. The service was not great either. Would not return again. The manager did not come to discuss the complaint and did not handle it professionally either.

Kicking off our Tynemouth adventure with tapas at Ora. The food was gorgeous, the sun was shining and the music was nostalgic (it's been too long since I listened to the Strokes!!). The staff were super helpful and knowledgeable about dietary requirements; the checked our orders and advised how dishes could be changed so they were gluten-free. The were careful to identify which orders were gluten-free when served to us. And a good vegetarian selection of dishes too. Thank you!

I've been to Ora before and loved the food although the service has always been a bit slow. However today we were seated for half an hour and no one even looked in our direction let alone offered us drinks. A table of four sat next to us about 15 minutes after us and still had to wait 15 minutes to be served. The waiter eventually went straight to their table with no acknowledgement that we were even there. They were ordering a bottomless brunch which clearly was going to take an age to order and the waiter still made no indication that he would come to us next. We stood up to leave as we were livid and he never even looked up. Another waitress spent the whole time cleaning tables and didnt serve at all. Really sad because I was looking forward to eating there but never again.

Style over substance I'm afraid. Tapas were mediocre. Belly peck had sauce poured over so skin was flabby and not crispy, the tomato sauce base for the arancini rice balls had undertones and texture of cream of tomato soup. Palatas braves and tzatiki were nice but not worth the price. Also waited nearly 45 minutes for the tapas to arrive.

Food was alright, but could be better. Ordered medium steak and chicken fajitas. Steak came more than well-done, which was disappointing. Fajitas were delicious but with huge chunks of chicken and paprikas - had to cut everything by myself. Staff was friendly but overwhelmed with work (only 2 waitresses for the whole restaurant).

We had breakfast with our baby. The place was proper dirty (whole mushrooms on the floor, cabinet doors open, sticky tables, toilet rolls finished on the windowsill,…) and stunk of beer. Not very welcoming. Tomatoes in kings breakfast were out of a can (plum tomatoes with the sauce) and microwaved. In my opinion I think there are Nicer places around the area.

A lovely, modern venue and only a short walk away from Tynemouth beachfront. There is a varied menu on offer, with breakfast options, standard mains and a variety of tapas dishes to choose from. I opted for the chicken fajitas with twice cooked chips, which was decent quality and well priced. All in all, I'd happily recommend visiting if in the area.

Ora has a really great atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food let it down. I've visited three times over the past 12 months and each time, there was an issue with the food either being cold, undercooked, or in one instance, having a drink served in a cup encrusted with drinking stains from a previous customer. It's a shame, because Ora used to be incredible, and it does have so much potential as a venue.

The food was fine, I had pitta bread with tzatziki, goats cheese, and pulled pork tortilla. There was nothing wrong with it, just not as great as I'd expected from previous reports, could have been a little warmer but that was partly my own fault for choosing to sit outside. Staff were very friendly and helpful, great service.

Hi all just been for tapas and got the meai deal, it's a rip off we were not told the deal is for 1 person only. That means it will cost £36 for 2. If you buy the normal tapas it will cost approximately £27. Apart from that the food is very good. Don't like leaving a restaurant feeling hungry.

Been here a few times and I have highly recommended it, but today was a very bad experience Booked table for 1pm, no probs Ordered food Waited Over 1hr for food (I've seen it a lot busier) Food came out in drips n drabs, some of the dishes were missing Ordering drinks was the same, Waitress spilled arribiatta sauce(quite a bit) on my pants and shoes Highly disappointed visit **reply to owner** Firstly, my daughter was not near the waitress, my daughter was on my right and the waitress on my left, I was inbetween hence why the sauce landed on me Secondly, we were not informed of a wait for food And if I want to write a bad review I will, that's the point of a review, so people can see how a place has been rated, excellent or in your case on this particular day very disappointing As I have said in previous review, it's normally excellent I will put it down to yous being 'very busy' but not as busy as previous visits

First time trying here and it certainly won't be the last. Service was ok bearing in mind it was a busy Saturday afternoon. Food was amazing! Decided to try a couple of tapas plates and a side. I had the chilli with tortilla's and the fish goujouns with a side of onion rings and although there was a bit of a wait for food it was well worth it, everything was cooked fresh and arrived piping hot. I did however think the chilli was overpriced for the portion size but everything thing else more than made up for it, fish goujouns were amazing. Now.. I have a bit of a thing for onion rings and they weren't an option on the sides menu but I'd noticed they came with the steaks so I asked my server if it would be possible to have them as a side and she initially said no but then went to check with the chef and he/she kindly said they could do it.. Soooo pleased that they did, best onion rings I've ever tasted in my life bearing in mind I've visited 12 states in the U.S and work in central London 5 days per month. (would go back just for them). Whoever is responsible for those rings of joy thank you. Ora you are so lucky to have some amazing chefs, please don't lose them. Sorry I didn't think to take any pics, was too busy enjoying my food.

Lovely food. We arrived during a torrential rain shower and it was very busy. We were seated pretty quickly. The wait for our food was very long, and when it came not one of us got the bread we ordered for our sandwiches (brown and stotties) All got white sliced bread. But due to long wait and hunger we decided to just eat.

Booked table for 1pm, table not ready. Table was in a walkway so had to move every time someone wanted past. Drinks took forever to arrive, ordered food it took 50mins to arrive minus calamari and padron peppers, of which there were only 5 peppers. Ordered coke zero 3 times before it finally arrived. Upon clearing table waitress dropped waste food on one of the party half hearted apology. Portions were tiny for the price, not a patch on previous visits.

Absolutely abysmal. Firstly, the service was terrible. Took over 20 minutes to order drinks and then another 25 minutes to order food. Once ordered, both the drinks and food took extremely long to arrive. We ordered nachos as a starter and they were extremely disappointing. For mains we ordered around 8 tapas dishes and some other meals including the chicken Caesar salad. There were 3 large pieces of plastic (!!!) found in the bruschetta which put everyone off their food. The chicken Caesar salad was tasteless and the chicken was chewy and not even cut up. The staff offered us a free dessert because of this, but we declined as we were put off eating any more food here. Another issue was that the toilets were extremely dirty; there was no hand soap, hand towels and the hand dryer did not work. Absolutely avoid this place.

Went for breakfast on a chilly Sunday morning. The cold continued in the restaurant which was disappointing. Food was okay, big breakfast was standard stuff. No butter for what was supposed to be toast, toaster must have been broken because it was pretty pale., beans were lukewarm and runny, very poor quality. The rest was okay. Pancakes were huge and covered in chocolate, on closer inspection the bottom was burnt. Other food, sandwiches and Eggs Benedict were fine. I personally do not understand how you send out burnt food, you know it should be in the bin but I end up paying for it. The end result is a review that shows little has changed in this place for years. Still the same hit and miss fayre that you always get. The final straw was a chef *cough walking past the table and passing wind loudly as he went on his merry way. Pretty much the cherry on top of bang average breakfast. You only get one chance and he blew it, literally.

What we did have was nice and staff friendly but don’t think we would return which is a shame and we are quite disappointed as we loved it.

Great Venue, Warm bright and comfortable. Only window seats available but they were comfy and we settled happily. We decided on lentil soup with added extra of ham hock but unfortunately we were later informed they had sold out of the ham hock. The soup looked lovely and actually tasted home made, unfortunately it was over salted. We both tried to struggle through but couldn’t finish it, when we asked for the bill we mentioned how salty it was ( they just needed to taste it themselves to know it was inedible) However no further comment was made and the bill included the ham hocks which we hadn’t had, so that was adjusted. Orla has the potential to be fabulous and I know many people love it there. It was our first visit and maybe we were unlucky. However if I customer mentions some issue which is easily identifiable as correct I do think they should have acted upon it. Will I return ? Probably not simply for that reason. Don’t ignore a customer if something isn’t right.

Visited for works Xmas lunch/party, seated upstairs at 2pm, only table in. Waited 30 minutes for drinks and then for food order to be taken. Venue was absolutely freezing, we asked for heating to be turned up and were told it was on max, you could actually see your breath in the toilets, very uncomfortable and we sat with coats over our legs. We ordered cocktails, the Mojitos were sent back as they just tasted like soda water, no lime, mint, sugar or rum, after that we stayed with spirits or beers. Food- we ordered a selection of tapas to share, they were brought out and placed on table, we had to ask for plates to put our food on, to be told ‘I’ll bring those once I’ve brought all the food out, ok?’ And walked away. Well no it’s not okay, the food is going cold whilst 1 person runs back n forth to kitchen. Side plates eventually arrive, plates are cold and now food is like warm. The sliders which you pay extra for, are served in a brioche bun which is stale/hard enough to use as a weapon and obviously spent far too long under the heatlamp! Tempura prawns were poor, looked like frozen fresh water ones, scotch bonnet chilli had no heat. Vegetarian arancini, meatballs and the hummus were the nicest dishes. Left to find a warmer venue, told the server that had it been warmer we would have stayed longer and spent more. Advice- choose somewhere else Overall poor experience,

Had breakfast sandwich. 4 of us agreed bacon or sausage between 2 slices of toast not the best. After recent visits to Liosis, Kith and Kin and Di Meos perhaps we expect better as certainly the coffee at these places was exceptional and pretty poor at Ora. My advice would be invest in a better coffee machine. However, after many visits to Ora, the ambience and service is excellent and we'll certainly return, but for evening meal.

There was only squid on it. Sent it back and it returned to the table with one mangled muscle! But with 6 King prawns. Service was good but I do think the server should have noticed the dish she was serving was incomplete. Don't like to complain but on this occasion the main ingredient was missing!

Cocktails were on the offer 2 for £12.00 they were no bigger than an egg cup. Not value for money. The business obviously thought this marketing ploy to rip off customers is ok.

1 out of 5… probably the poorest ever. Just wanted something to pick at, so ordered “breads with dips” …. 2 dips… 1 god only knows what it was…the other some sort of humus that needed sliced! The breads….wow..all stale, cannot express how poor this was. Twice cooked chips… would have been nice if they’d been cooked twice TODAY!!! No condiments, had to ask for salt, vinegar, pepper, ketchup etc and it was as if we’d asked for the world!!! Waitress totally un-interested, sighing at every request.

The food was absolutely lovely, we had Tapas and it tasted really good! The wine wasn't great unfortunately. I think the bottle might have been open a while. I booked it for my birthday stating this on the online booking but there wasn't any recognition of this when I gave them my booking on entrance. When we walked in, alot of the tables were dirty and I couldn't tell the staff from the customers. It was boiling hot outside and absolutely freezing inside. The restaurant had more of a feel of a bar to it and when I went to use the toilets 2 of them wouldn't lock. When I booked it online it looked like a lush restaurant. The waiting staff were friendly but a bit distant and forgot our cutlery after giving us food. The food was really tasty but I probably wouldn't go again as it felt like I was sat in a freezing sports bar having nice food, it was just a bit of a confused place. Prefer pleased to meet you next door.

They served wrong drinks, coffees came with no spoons and no sweeteners. We then ordered our breakfasts and it took from arriving there 1 hour to be served. That would of been fine however the food was not cooked to our liking. One order was steak and eggs, the steak was overcooked ( they never asked how we wanted it ) and poached eggs were hard boiled. Our family member who ordered this has a severe allergy and it came with a sauce ( not advertised ) so we had to get all the ingredients to triple check they would be ok. The rest of the breakfasts were all English ones and out of 12 poached eggs only 4 were cooked right !! The toast came with no butter and we had to ask twice for sauces. The sausage was very cheap and they were all Luke warm too. I wanted to complain but my children asked me not too. I have emailed you 3 times and you have not responded. Please avoid and go elsewhere. Please

Been here before but tonight was not too good. Service was great but two tiny margaritas were less than impressive. Main course arrived which we didn’t order; seafood platter instead of paella. Paella takes a good 30 minutes but ours was back in five with most of the platter mixed with rice. Very disappointed especially since I’ve always enjoyed the food here.

Waited over an hour for a pasta without chicken when the restaurant wasn’t full. Give yourself plenty of time if you wanna eat here. Waitress did her best tho.

Great, well thought out menu, friendly staff and clean, prompt service and attention to detail. Well presented and perfectly cooked food - all set in a relaxing, friendly atmosphere. Prices were also acceptable. Well Done! We'll be back!

Food was good and not overpriced but fish and chips on a wooden chopping board and paper was not the best! Very messy to eat, which was a shame as the fish was excellent. Stop being pretentious and use plates. It's what they're for!

we tried ORA’s new afternoon tea and all I can say is wow! Food was so fresh and so much detail put into the presentation. We went for the Prosecco and cocktail option and we definitely got our moneys worth! We were served by eve and annabel and they never let our glasses go empty, they were so accommodating and really made our experience 10/10! Will definitely be coming back

We hadn't booked, but thankfully, we (party of 5) got a table upstairs. We ordered the sharing seafood platter, which included salmon, sea bass, mussels, scallops, prawns and calamari, all cooked in a creamy, bacon, tarragon sauce, it was delicious! We ordered one additional mushroom paella tapas (it was ok, not great), extra fries/salad and the bread selection. Overall very tasty and would order it again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos, so I'll have to go back and have it all again! The hardship! 😆

Went for breakfast and unfortunately it was very mediocre, especially for the price. The Kings Breakfast was especially disappointing with tasteless sausages and minute pieces of equally tasteless bacon. The interior gave the impression that it was in need of some TLC. We also had to wait nearly an hour between ordering and being served, which meant our drinks which came very quickly had long. Won’t be rushing back.

Seven of us went for dinner at Ora which started well with drinks and cocktails in the bar. We then moved up stairs to the finning area, which was tired, worn disgusting carpets and music that was far too loud for a restaurant. Waiting staff were pleasant and good orders were placed. Baring in mind the restaurant was less than 50% full, our food still took over 45 mins to be served. I believe this delay was because they were concentrating on takeaway orders??? When the food arrived, 3 tapas dishes were missing, one pasta dish missing chicken, pork dish cold and chicken dry and tough to eat. When the bill arrived, they had forgotten to take off the deposit (£35)! Waiting staff apologetic but no sign of any of the 2 mangers present to apologise!

We were quite cold at first because all the doors onto the street were open - and it was quite a mild day - but they were closed once it got to around 6 o’clock, which really made a difference. The staff were lovely and...

After walking from Tynemouth to Newcastle today, we needed to be fed! Ora, didn't let us down. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great feed.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PRICES BEFORE YOU PAY I don't like posting bad reviews, but I don't want other to be tricked into paying extra. One waiter almost overcharged us £15. A food item we had originally wanted to order was sold out so we ordered something cheaper. When the bill came we were overcharged and when we asked the waiter he LIED and said the prices were correct. (He had also taken the menus away so that we could not compare the bill prices with what was on the menu.) Thankfully a different staff member was kind enough to sort out the correct price for us, the 1 star is for him. If you are ordering from here please make sure you confirm the menu prices with the staff before you pay.

Booked our table as didn't want to be disappointed of getting in but the time we went we probably could have just walked in. Food was absolutely gorgeous, would recommend the Spanish Grazing board to share and the Goats Cheese bon bons were also delicious. We had to ask for some cutlery as they had forgot to give us ours but they apologised. Would definitely go back well worth the money 3 tapas for £17.95

I think stopping a paying customer from using the toilet when the restaurant is still open is poor customer service by Grace, no matter how some random online ‘reviewer’ cuck responds - if it happened, it’s not acceptable. It puts me off visiting again. People should have the right to use a toilet when they need it
