Visited without a reservation and there was literally no one else in. We all said that the staff thought that they were doing us a favour accepting us and we had to sit where they told us, so a table of 6 were sat in 3 tables of 2 that couldn't be moved. The food was nice but overpriced compared to others in the town, the 3 portions of Shrimps that we had were cold and when we mentioned to the staff there wasn't even a response. It did start to fill up later (after 8pm) but we wouldn't go back on the strength of our experience, if our food was the first of the night to come out of the kitchen and 3 portions of the same dish were cold then I'm not sure how they would cope when they are busy. Sadly no atmosphere at all and it was cold so didn't make for a pleasant experience and it cost us nearly £300 for the pleasure, much unlike Allards who nailed it again the night after, maybe they should look at the competition and see what they are doing.

£12.50 for pancakes & bacon. Bacon was freezing cold and the pancakes out of a packet. For £12.50 I expect them to be fresh! No idea why it took so long when they were clearly just microwaved.

Had an impromptu lunch visit today and was served straight away for a table of two (on Valentine’s Day). Most food was nice, not good ‘pigs in blankets’ the sausages weren’t good quality. The female toilets were not in good enough condition - no toilet roll (always so annoying), only one out of three soap dispensers were working and the bin was overflowing with paper towels and sad floral display.

Shame the food didn't slip down as well as we all slipped down the stairs! Pretty poor Sunday lunches. Roasted veg was black. Hard to distinguish one thing from another on the plate. The side of cauliflower cheese was inedible. Pure wet mush with tasteless cheese sauce. The floors were so slippery to the point of harzardous. Especially the staircase. Our waitress was pleasant and dealt with the issues well, so tipped her well.

When is a tuna melt not a tuna melt? When it's dry tuna with no hint of cheese. Whilst we pointed it out to the waiter who was very apologetic it was awful. I had been looking fwd to eating here due to other reviews and maybe we just hit on a bad day but it was slow service and the food not edible. We were only charged for one sandwich, we ordered 2 tuna melts, but tbf my hubby would eat anything but unfortunately we won't be revisiting. Every days a school day.

Came for breakfast with 3 friends, waiter was very friendly and quickly gave us menus and then came and took our orders. Drinks arrived in good time but then food took ages, we ordered more drinks in the mean time which again came quickly. No acknowledgment or apology from staff for the wait. Food arrived and the waffles were stale, cold and clearly not freshly made. 2 of my friends ordered honeycomb waffles and they had no honeycomb on, instead they had biscoff. Ordered an açai bowl which was served in a dirty gin glass full of blueberry yoghurt with some seeds and kiwi on, no banana, no granola or blueberries as advertised, which I didn’t realise until after we’d left as the menus had been returned. No check in from staff about how food is during or after our food. Would definitely not recommend or return.

Went here for breakfast, food took 40+ minutes to arrive when it did the honeycomb waffles I had ordered were what could be bought from a supermarket and were stale, with no honeycomb pieces as described in the menu, my partner ordered açai bowl and receive normal yoghurt again available in any supermarket in a dirty gin glass and had the majority of items described on the menu missing. Server was polite but no one once asked if our food was okay. Highly over priced for what it is would not recommend

The setting was amazing and the choice and quality of the tapas were excellent and catererd for some in our party who are vegetarian and one with a nut allergy. Above all that were the staff, I don't remember when I've last experienced such kind, knowledgeable and attentive staff, they were all brilliant and really funny and entertaining as a bonus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Relaxed casual atmosphere. Good deals for cocktails. Tapas we're excellent generous proportions. The things which will definitely get us returning are a) Dog friendly b) Geordie Banger sausages provided for all three dogs!

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,

The food wasn't exceptional for the price we paid. The extra cost for the Trio of Sliders was not worth the extra cost as they were dry. I don't think I will return.

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.

Bottomless Brunch. Excellent value. The food was absolutely delicious, best tapas we’ve had for a very long time. The whole experience was amazing. Special shout out to our server Catelyn. She was outstanding. So friendly and professional, felt like a friend even though we’d just met her. Any business would be very lucky to have her on staff. Fantastic experience and very highly recommended.

Fabulous bottomless brunch. The tapas selection was excellent and very tasty and the two male staff members serving the food and drinks were great. Always at hand to fill up our drinks. This was a Wowcher deal and we would definitely return.

I had a "Luxury seafood salad" which consisted,according to rhe menu of King prawns,squid,mussels and clams. This was £14.95. Disappointed as it came minus the king prawns. 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. Making of one cocktail charging for 2 would go unnoticed. Please avoid they were a complete rip off!! I will stick to Alllards in future.

We went here the day before we went on holiday. I must say we werent disappointed. Staff are friendly enough and come and see you reasonably quickly. The food was served after a reasonable time and was quite good tasting. No real complaints and we will return. Also prices are quite good as well.

Visited Ora on 23/09 and purchased Bottomless Brunch and paid extra for cocktails which was well worth it, one of the best BB I have had and I’ve done a few, the staff were all brilliant and attentive and big thanks goes to Josh who kept the cocktails coming, Sarah for great FOH and daisy. I’ve booked another BB so looking forward to returning as the Tapas was lovely too well worth the money.

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.

An eclectic coffee shop that serves excellent quality sandwiches, coffee & cakes. Only my 2nd visit but I found it excellent again. It can get quite busy around lunchtime & can be disappointed, no seating inside. That happened to me recently. The pricing is very fair considering what you get. I really want to try their cakes. They look lovely.
