First visit not without several service faults. Very nice to meet Manager Francesca again who keeps the show on the road. Delayed being shown to table, wine glasses over filled, directed long way outside to toilets but not given the key code, the first floor toilets were also closed! How can you cater to so many without near toilets? Fish soup was better than the steak tartare. Beef Stroganoff and rice generous. Little steam pud ok. Good wine list and coffee. Many of the young staff require further polish.

Great lunch at Porterhouse on the Express Lunch menus. Excellent choice from the Porterhouse or Saltwater menus. I went off the Porterhouse. My partner went off the Saltwater menu. Great food and excellent service. And great value for money with 3 courses for £27. Carlingford Oysters were great. Minute Steak was perfect. Salmon linguine was full flavoured. And to top it off a Bitter Chocolate Nouse with Cherries. Washed down with a bottle of the house red.

I have been dining here for many years both in Porterhouse and the adjourning restaurant Saltwater were you can also choose from their menu. The last 2 times i have visited i think food and service is going downhill rapidly , my last visit on 03/01/24 was not the best , there was only about 6 people in the restaurant and my starter of oysters with chorizo sausage arrived without the sausage, when i questioned the waiter he spoke to chef who said he forgot about the sausage! When the main courses arrived , my wife ordered a fillet steak to be cooked medium which was tiny in size, and it was rare ! It was sent back , and after 5 mins it arrived back to the table still rare in the middle - when you are paying fine dining prices i expect the food to be perfect , I ordered the Halibut fish which was nice but the skin was soggy! when you pay £42 for a very small piece of fish i expect the skin to be crispy. However the last few times i have been to both saltwater and porterhouse they are unfortunately on the decline , i feel the staff are inexperienced and the quality of the dishes are not the same , even though the produce stills looks amazing , so i won't be going back for a very long time.

I was dining with a friend who is a regular visitor here. She normally opts for the hake but today we decided on the liver and bacon which was melt in the mouth gorgeous. We like a light red and our server recommended the montepulciano d'abruzzo which was a great pairing. The restaurant was busy and buzzing but the service was excellent. Thank you to the whole team.

The food saved it. We weren’t acknowledged for the first 20 minutes of us being there. After bringing this to the attention of the “manager” as the other one wanted to avoid us and favourite every table around us.. they didn’t even knock anything off the bill without me asking! Honestly abhorrent! Will never return!

Great food and great location situated within the Fenwicks food court. Starters were amazing and the overall quality of food was fantastic. Steaks were served very rare unfortunately when asked for medium rare, thankfully very well rested so still really enjoyed and suspect it was more of a mix up rather than incorrect cooking. Really helpful and friendly staff, great food and great location will definitely return.

I’m a minority here, because I just came to the butchers counter for sausages. I have to say, they were the best quality meat I’ve ever tasted. Really worth the extra pennies for them. I was served by a Scottish fellow, sorry I didn’t get his name but he was very friendly and attentive and bagged my food up ready to take home. Lovely guy and it’ll make me come back. 1) Food quality. Brilliant tasting meat. 2) Lovely staff member. First time here purchasing, and I can assure you I’ll be back again. Thank you.

Visited for restaurant week with my friends. I have been to Porterhouse 3-4 times, and it is usually faultless. The food was excellent - from presentation to taste and texture. However, the service was a real letdown, and I wouldn’t usually expect this from the 21 Hospitality Group. The wine arrived late (or was forgotten?), the amended sides (Parmesan truffle chips) were inputted into the EPOS incorrectly, meaning the wrong portion was served to us (they let us keep the regular chips). No one came to ask us how our starter or main courses were, or how we were doing. Despite being a small restaurant and plenty of staff on duty, I found it hard to get someone’s attention to get the bill, and also tough to get their attention to get a card machine.

Arrived on time and greeted warmly as a regular. Seated 10 minutes before asked for a drink. Not keen on being called "Guys". Order taken after some delay, waitress a little blunt and disinterested. Long wait for bread and olives.. big wait for mains..hadn't even ordered starters! Mains eventually came 45 minutes after sitting down. My steak was blue (see pic) when I wanted medium rare.. Lamb chops with broad beans and peas came with...no broadbeans or peas. Shame we had to ask why they weren't there! A gesture was made to adjust the bill and this was accepted but you know.. I really wanted to pay for what we expected. This is supposed to be pretty high end and frankly it was rubbish. Gent at the next table sent his food back.. something not right here and it needs someone to have a hard look at how it works and the standards to be set for the high prices charged

We booked in here as a last minute table as the review looked promising and we were not disappointed! The staff were very friendly and we seated immediately - despite arriving 15 minutes early. They offered us a selection of water and we also got us our drinks straights straight away. We opted to get a couple of the crispy sushi with spicy tuna and ginger to start which were absolutely delicious- I could just eat these as a meal! I then opted for the Picanha cooked rare and it was perfect and my Fiancé went for the steak burger - which was also delicious! We didn’t have any desserts but we will certainly be making another trip up to Newcastle to go again! The staff were lovely and the restaurant was clean and the ambiance was nice! Highly recommend!

“highly recommend this establishment for a refined dining experience. The cocktails are expertly crafted and the service is impeccable.

While the cost may be considered a bit high, it is commensurate with the quality of the food and service, making it a worthwhile indulgence."

Superb evening provided by this restaurant. The quality of the produce, the cooking and of course not forgetting the staff, make this a place to dine. A very good balanced menu which also includes a great seafood selection. I chose the Porterhouse as this has more seating than its seafood sibling next door. The steak tartare was one of the best I have had, the creamy richness of the egg yolk, just brought it all together. My wife had King Prawns in a chilli and garlic butter, simply superb. All supported by a serving team that were there but unobtrusive. Worth a visit.

The best Chateaubriand we have ever had. We have been several times and the steak is amazing. Being steak lovers, we really appreciate this place for guaranteed taste and quality. The chef who we usually have, has long hair (apologies don’t know his name) and he honestly knows how to cook an amazing steak. Also great to experience the wagyu Chateaubriand. Great wine pairing and customer service too from the hosts and the team. We usually spend £200-£400 depending on the size of steak we get and wine we choose to pair it with.

Thanks for making my decision to go elsewhere today. I’m Sorry for disturbing your lunch in a restaurant. Won’t be back. Can highly recommend The Bonantist though a short walk away.

I really love this place as the food is simply delicious but it’s expensive. We ate lunch which consisted of bread and butter £4 each, this is totally unnecessary, happy to pay the big prices for luxury cuts of meat (of which there is plenty to choose from) but why charge so high for the basics? Ginger beer £5 for a bottle of Fentimans. So before we got to the actual food we were already £28 on the bill in two drinks each and bread! Starters were delicious, black pudding and egg on toast. For main course we ate beef stroganoff, the nicest I’ve e ever tasted and lamb chops - wonderful! Happy to pay £24.50 and £28.50 for these. Parmesan truffle fries are simply gorgeous! Total bill £99.40 for lunch. However, I would recommend and will return as I love the venue and the food is fantastic. I just don’t want to feel cheated over bread and water.

Sadly a disappointing meal altogether. We were having a quick meal before going to the theatre. Staff very friendly. We ordered three dishes - the crab and mango; the black pudding/egg on toast and some special chips. The chips didn't arrive but when we pointed this out we were given ordinary chips and told they wouldn't be added to bill -which they weren't. The crab/mango was nice but, to be honest, overpriced. My black pudding fairly burnt, egg burnt and some of the toast burnt. I did point this out and should really have sent it back - but didn't as we were in a bit of a hurry. But this was a dish that shouldn't have left the kitchen. So afraid we won't be going back or recommending it. Shame.

Couldn't fault the food or the helpfulness of the staff but feel I gave it mention the toilet situation. If you need to use the loo you have to walk through the shop, go up the escalator to the first floor and then across first floor to the toilets next to Cafe 21. If you need to go after Fenwick is shut you have to be escorted by a member of the restaurant staff. Not too great Mr Laybourne. Thus would stop me going back or recommending to friends.

We mentioned it to the deputy manager who said in these exact words “well next time you order it I suggest you ask for the dressing on the side”. Totally unconcerned my friend could not eat it due to this.Very very disappointing attitude from the deputy manager.

We love it there, the food is delicious, fresh, great meat cooked right in front of you if you choose to sit at the bar. It’s cool and trendy and feels like an indulgent treat where you can watch the hustle and bustle of Fenwick’s food hall whilst enjoying great food and drink.

The food is very good, the beef loin medium cooking is my favourite, as I have ordered it on two different occasions and it was always fabulous. The food is pricy, we spent 60£ in two just ordering 2 mains and tap water, and no coffee or cakes or wine. We expected the high price as this is supposed to be a "fine dining" place but the meat, although high quality, it is not so expensive per se. I voted this restaurant "average" as the waiter appeared impolite when taking our orders. He looked condescendingly at me and my fiancé and when he misunderstood my fiancé order he said "Ahh, you want to share!", and after the misunderstanding, he totally ignored us for the rest of the lunch. We went at around 3 PM and the restaurant was almost empty, but no waiters approached us asking whether we need anything and I had to look at the waiters for a while before they finally realized that I wanted the bill - they were not serving the tables but rather chatting among themselves at the counter.I have mixed feelings about this place after the waiter suggested that my fiancé and I cannot afford two mains, and we will probably not go back.

Excellent food. We started with smoked salmon and the pork rib both of which were excellent. A Manhattan added to the amazing start. We then shared a mixed grill - plenty to eat and amazing value at less than £14 per person.We have been in the week and the service as excellent so it could have been the fact that it was a Saturday that we felt that this aspect of the experience had slipped - although by the time we sat down at 3pm things had slowed. We had parking and babysitters to consider and so had to find someone to give us our bill and pay. That said, the food and drink were excellent and I look forward to returning.

Went last year and had a great steak experience with the family, brilliant food and fantastic service... Paddy is a big miss for us. We booked for Sunday lunch but I have to say it is not as good as 21 for food and service. The starters were mediocre and service very slow. Not worth the 10% service charge which we have never felt being regular customers at the Laybourne Empire. Would have given an excellent for last years visit but average for this time.

We came here for a birthday treat lunch. This really is a proper restaurant, not just a department store fast food place. We had a 800g big cut Porterhouse T-Bone to share with hipster chips (Parmesan and rosemary).

We tend to eat in either broad chare or 21 (both Terry Laybourne resturants) quite often so when shopping on a Saturday afternoon decided it was about time to try Porterhouse. Resturant seemed half full but was advised we would have to wait 30mins. We suggested 45mins and left for a drink. On returning the resturant was busier and was told we would have to wait another 20 mins. It was basically take it or leave it even though there was a couple if empty tables. Decided to leave and take our business else where. We did have a lovely lunch and will not be returning

We had lunch in Fenwick’s famous Food Hall and the food was simply excellent. The lamb burger with goat’s cheese was definitely the best burger I’ve ever eaten. My wife had a Caesar salad and that too was excellent. The chicken was cooked to perfection. I’ll be going back next time I’m in Newcastle

We visited one Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly greeted and shown to our table which we had booked earlier in the week. We both ordered a prawn stater and steak for main course. We were told that the wine specials board included an Albariño and a Malbec. We ordered two small glasses of Albariño to accompany our starters and two small glasses of Malbec for the mains. Both wines went really well with the food. The food was also very nice. When the bill came I was staggered at the price of the wine. The two 175ml Albariño’s were over £19 and the two 175ml Malbec’s in excess of £27. I just cannot see how they can justify these extortionate prices for the wine. I would go back for a meal but I certainly would not order any wine. To add to my disbelief they automatically put a 10% Service charge on. So the bill came to £134 which I feel was totally excessive for a lunch which was decent but certainly not exceptional.

Been a few months since we have been. However so many places do service better, so folks, perhaps needs to be said

First visit today steak very nice not many in found atmosphere a bit cold staff need to smile a bit more and make you feel welcome for the price you pay. Cheese board a disappointment not worth £8.50 would not hurry back

I had read reviews and was keen to try the place. The service was very good. I had a steak, it was cooked to my requirement. I shall return as and when I am in Newcastle.

Awesome food . Had the roast chicken from the specials board which was wonderful. Wine selection good too. Service was a little slow but the food was certainly worth waiting for and clearly fresh prepared.

Fantastic food and a surprisingly good price for the quality. First time I've ever had fresh oyster as well and the server was very helpful in explaining how to eat it.

We had dinner here with another couple. Had chateaubriand. The meat itself was good - I wouldn't say mind blowing. The servers never asked about sauces or anything and we had to ask for them after the meat came. We ordered the hipster chips and they were not chips, they were french fries and tasted like what you would find in the frozen section of a grocery store. We were rushed out without being offered dessert, and had to walk out through the dark Fenwick's store with security hurrying us along. This isn't what you expect when you're paying per 100g for steak. Definitely wouldn't return.

As we walked into the restaurant we spotted some delicious king prawns. When we were given the menu and deciding what to eat we couldn’t see them listed. When we asked our waitress, she explained they were from the Saltwater Fish restaurant next door and that we could order from that menu too!

I had a relaxing meal here with a friend, we had lovely service and excellent food. Our waiter was well informed and recommended the best steaks for us and he matched a great wine to go with it. We found the atmosphere very pleasant and greatly enjoyed our meal
