Riley's Fish Shop in North Tyneside

Visited Riley’s fish shop with my girlfriend on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday and could not recommend more! Staff were unbelievably hospitable; food was beyond amazing (we shared oysters, scallops and the monkfish); and the wine selection was exquisite! The atmosphere was so inviting we were hoping the food wouldn’t come so we could stay for longer! Thank you to the team for making this such a memorable night, we cannot wait to return!

Went there one Saturday in October. Amazing! Turbot and the salted cod absolutely exquisite!!

We came here from Newcastle centre to have some fresh seafood and Riley’s Fish Shop was an excellent choice in all aspects! We had a nice friendly chat with lady staff before our lunch started. Smooth wine and oysters of both types on offer were a must (not local catch but Irish and Channel). Then we prudently went through all the small dish menu :-) Especially scallops were absolutely splendid. Booking is recommended. Next time im here, I will be back for sure! Thank you :-)

So good! You know it's good when you want to order everything on the menu. Even the cabbage side dish was delicious. Lovely relaxed atmosphere too. Will definitely be back.

We loved our dinner here at Riley’s Fish Shop! Every dish was delicious. We shared a few small plates, one large plate and the two sides and had just enough room to share a dessert, it was the perfect amount of food. We are looking forward to coming back with friends! One tiny detail that could’ve made our experience even better was if the servers checked in on us, asking if everything was okay or if we needed anything. We didn’t get the chance to order more drinks but we definitely would have if we were asked for a refill! It would’ve been nice to have given them our positive feedback in person if they had asked. Final note is the pistachio and blueberry dessert was one of my favourite desserts ever. 💖

Very disappointing. Overpriced.

A group of 6 visited to mark an occasion, however, the service of was quite bad and items were missing off some of the dishes. The starters were served at random and by the time we got ours everyone had finished theirs. All of which were cold starters, which is makes it even more disappointing. The mains again came out sporadic, and two of the dishes were over salted to the point it almost wasn’t enjoyable and by this time the restaurant had been empty for a while. Moreover, once drinks were served nobody came back to ask if we wanted more. We’ve had a good experience before, however for £400 this was not what we had expected. When asked how the food was, we explained the above and the server didn’t really make an attempt to resolve, and just said she would tell the kitchen. Really disappointing

Absolutely love this place. Fantastic ingredients, cooked and presented with imagination and to perfection. This time we had the cured halibut toast and smoked trout soufflé followed by the brill and the hake. Every dish was superb. Guest wine an absolute bargain at £5 per glass and the Akemi White Rioja also great value for the quality. Couldn’t resist the Basque Cheesecake at the end - probably my favourite dessert.

First time we've been, great service,friendly relaxed atmosphere, wonderful food we'll definitely be back !!

If you ever get the chance, go here.

Riley's Fish Shop is a small venue with an excellent staff and fantastic food. Genuinely some of the best seafood I have enjoyed. Our waiter went above and beyond for us and really elevated our dining experience.

This restaurant is a must try. We visited Tynemouth just to eat at this restaurant. The food was delicious with every dish being super tasty. We had some lovely dishes washed down with a bottle of orange wine, followed by some cocktails to finish the night. We will definitely be back.

Good service, good food, really enjoyed our lunch here today.

The best fish and seafood restaurant I have tried in the UK! Fish was very fresh and cooked to perfection. Side ingredients are simple and yet again made into something quite nice. My favorites are fried monkfish with butter beans, the apple ketchup was worth trying. It is a neat restaurant with seafood market feeling. Sit at the bar counter for some kitchen action!

Food was nice, but I don't expect to fork out £70 a head to sit on a stool and eat off a 10 inch shelf. Overpriced for what it is, wouldn't go back

The food, service, ambience were all wonderful. Unfortunately, at the end of the evening, the mood took a weird turn when I made a major goof by casually asking the waiter when they'd first opened. Unfortunately this innocent query led the far too astute waiter to remember my earlier review from November 2022, the slightly incriminating one entitled Possible End of a Marriage. I did own up to writing this review, setting out the salt hake debacle. but in my defense, copious amounts of alcohol meant I'd completely forgotten all about it. As of now, my second visit to Riley's (combined with the waiter's formidable memory) means the state of my already fragile marriage once again hangs in the balance, as my husband was, until tonight, completely unaware of his ridiculously embarrassing behaviour. The curse of Riley's slowly playing out....where will it end??

Wow Wow Wow . Second time we have been to this place Outstanding From start to finish every thing was Excellent . The chefs and service was Fantastic . People if you have not been to this amazing place you are missing out big time. You must try it .

Complete rip off. You have to pay a deposit when booking. Following booking we tried multiple times to cancel via multiple routes (phone, internet, social media) with no reply. We even turned up to try and cancel. They still charged us £100 for 4 people despite not even eating and not being able to cancel. We are now pursuing compensation via other routes. We could not recommend this place less.

Having been to the “shack” I was eager to try the restaurant, and it didn’t let me down. Menu was innovative and delivered with high quality produce prepared to perfection. Monkfish collars to start, absolute genius, and the turbot and halibut we had for mains were excellent. Selection of sides seemed peculiar on first glance (wot no spuds?), but on arrival were perfect accompaniments (roasted cabbage….you have to try it). Only negative, the wine list is a little limited and over priced (£90 for an average Alvarinho?), but hey. Will definitely be back and can only imagine it will be buzzing in the summer.

Great food, everyone enjoyed their meals. Between us we covered most options and it was all well received. Just like their sister businesses always top tier. Small place but nicely done out and the environment they have created it great. Staff were friendly and accomodating of questions.

Service was a bit slow, produce was not up to standard, food was cold when eventually served, very expensive and 12% service charge (although discretional) does not need to be added to the final bill, not all people will ask for this to be removed, although we did, disappointing i,m afraid, Friday 12.01.23

Enjoyable but way overpriced: two cocktails, a bottle of white wine, two starters/mains/ sides, plus the automatic tip £172. We shared starters and the langoustines were so thin there was no meat and while the squid in butter was tasty it was reminiscent of 1970s Cordon bleu - literally swimming in sauce. The turbot was nice but that was literally it, a turbot on a plate. And we both had the pave potato’s.

Very good fish and seafood cooking with a good wine list to accompany it. This was a family celebration meal that did not disappoint and I would be very happy to eat here again.

Although a limited lunch menu, the food and suggested wine pairing were wonderful. The combinations on the menu were not your regular options, showed imagination and the talent of the team of chefs. Highly recommended.

Delicious meal from start to finish. Fresh fish cooked to perfection with thoughtful and interesting sauces and sides. Great selection of wines by the glass. Friendly and knowledgeable service. We'll be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Really lovely meal - excellent fish, good wine pairings in a comfortable setting. Everything local as possible and really tasty. Loved it.

Love this place so much, have been multiple times and taken all the friends/family that’re willing to go. Went for lunch today and it was incredible as always!

This was our first visit to the restaurant and we were not disappointed! The food was fabulous, good range of wines & cocktails, great atmosphere and friendly staff. We had mussels, monkfish collars, langoustine, halibut, salted cod…..every dish perfect as were the side dishes. Will definitely be back!

Had a cheeky lunch there on my own. OK there are much cheaper lunches but this is just so good and the people who work there so welcoming. I loved it

Came with 11 of us ti celebrate my birthday. What an amazing afternoon relaxed friendly and brilliant food cooked for us by Chefs Henry and James.and served by such knowledgeable staff. Thank you for making my celebration so memorable 💖 💗 💓 💕 💛

Fantastic meal - 12 ladies all enjoying a lovely meal cooked by chef Henry and James will recommend to all friends and family! We will be back x

Absolutely love the counter dining here. Wonderful food - superb fish - great wines and friendly service. Would be even better if you could get some of the amazing natural wines by the glass, and also dessert wines to match with the small but perfectly formed pudding list (hic). Can’t wait to come back again.

freshly prepared in front of you, lovely friendly service, delicious seafood, good wine and dog friendly. We chose the set menu but small dishes available. Definitely recommend it.

Totally different experience. We sat and watched the chefs cook. Brilliant, interesting food. Great staff, relaxed atmosphere. ideal for a special occasion. Really enjoyed it xx 🐟

We came here early August for a birthday and while the waiter was great, had just started and nice atmosphere, the food was so salty. I actually saw the younger of the two cooks put loads of salt on the fish almost covering it and hoped it wasn't for me. The potato side and mushrooms on the dish were also almost inedible and the same for my partner's dish. Starters were nice though, two different tartar style dishes. If you wish to contact me that would be nice as the mains were very disappointing and very expensive for what they were, also too many people to complain

Absolutely delicious food. One of the best meals I've ever had, would recommend it to anyone and will definitely be back

Excellent dishes. Very fresh seafood. Extremely well cooked and presented. Staff welcoming and very pleasant.

Recently when I’ve been eating out, lots of restaurants have been cutting back on the quality of food meaning it’s hard to find a nice place to eat that serves simple yet delicious food. But here the food is amazing it’s so simple but yet so delicious that’s what I think most restaurants are missing out on , you don’t need all these fancy sauces and fragrances you just need fresh food simply done cooked by talented chefs who let the food speak for its self and here is was they absolutely mastered. I can’t wait to come back again.

A lovely welcome from helpful staff. Delicious food. Great gluten free options (nearly everything on the evening menu!). A wonderful meal - highlights were the scallop ceviche - zingy & so fresh and the salt hake - moreish flavours.

Exceptionally good food. Excellent fresh fish simply but imaginatively delivered.

The food was excellent, well and freshly cooked in front of us. It included an interesting variety of ingredients that resulted in very enjoyable meals. The staff were friendly and attentive without being over the top. We would have preferred more traditional seating than being perched on bar stools with a very small area to place the main place, vegetables and our drinks. We would definitely visit again but we will book seats upstairs.

Great service, lovely place and delicious food. Amazing oysters and small plates a great way to sample the food. Thanks for making my 50th birthday so special.

Food was superb. Service was genuine. Great drinks menu. Really lovely meal. Can't wait to go again.

Top class fish restaurant. Fresh produce from local suppliers. Well cooked at reasonable prices. Service pleasant and efficient. Very good all round :)

Amazing restaurant with awesome staff! Food & drinks delicious. Feels very authentic that some dishes are sometimes out and the staff is suggesting alternatives. Great idea is the concept of combining certain plates & sides - according to your wishes and the recommendation of the staff.

The food is as excellent as ever. I went with my wife and my 25 yr old daughter, Oysters and starters (especially the halibut) were really good. I would recommend the monkfish for the main, and the wine matched the food perfectly. I would have given 4 stars but, as lovely as the staff were, service was slow.

OMG what an AMAZING Dinner we had . My favourite place now OUTSTANDING . Was are first time at the Restaurant we have eating on the shack a few times but noting compares to this . We sat at the bar Counter and watched the Two chef do there thing its was like a little show , the way they cooked the attention to detail was top class . On arrival we were seated and as it was my partners Birthday we got two free Glasses of Fizz (Thank you ). Staff were so friendly and were more than happy to advice on our choice of foor . oh and the Cabbage is a MUST ... thank you to vernin for letting me use his glasses as i couldnt see menue . Had great banter with the chefs and the waiters and waitress COULD NOT FAULT THIS PLACE . I have promised the staff a chocolate slab that i make at home and i will be dropping off this week .THANKS GUYS once again AMAZING ..

Clearly you had a big problem with your website on the day we booked. We were on the Fish Shack site and booked for the Thursday 18th May. Someone then phoned to say that they had made a mistake and we agreed to change it to Friday. On looking at the web site for the shop it's obvious we were never on it. Looks completely different to the one we were on - the Shack. Moreover the shop was open on the Thursday so no idea what was going on. Having walked all the way down to the shack to be told we should be at a shop we hadn't even been aware of was a disappointment to say the least. Trudged back up the steps and got to the shop. A 'choice' of just 4 mains. Not really good enough. Service was fine and reasonable timewise but nothing to write home about. Certainly not worth the 'compulsory' 12.5% charge. We can see now why the place was nearly empty despite it being a nice Friday evening. Food was good but portion size was a bit on the small side and not good value for money. Overall gave it 3 stars but that's probably being a bit generous.

Went on a 'guest night' with guest chef from Shapes bringing pasta dishes to complement the menu. My 1st visit, impressed by the decor and service was great. Went with friends and we ordered every pasta and main to share, flavours were amazing! Even the 'Orange wine' which was a new one for us! Made for a special night, not a cheap meal out, but it never felt or tasted like one. Looking forward to an excuse to go again 😁

Living 3 min walk from Riley's Fish shop we went in Feb 22 and had a really poor experience . However we decided to bite the bullet and give it another go. We are so.glad we did as this time the restaurant was everything we...

Having long been a fan of Riley's Fish Shack, we were keen to try the fish shop. The food was outstanding. Ceviche is one of my favourite dishes and I try it everywhere i. The world it appears on the menu. It is no word...

Our 1st visit to Riley's Fish Shop and not disappointed. All the dishes were excellent ... from the starters of anchovies & langoustine to the mains of brill chop, monkfish tail & halibut. The service was professional but friendly & not overpowering. Yes, it's expensive but well worth the experience. You could not fault the food. Well done to all the staff.

Simply stunning! 🤩 Not cheap but ethically sourced quality ingredients aren’t 🙏🏻 Fabulous service & delicious food & drink 😍

Noon booking, sat at kitchen bar where we could interact with enthusiastic chefs who were receiving the freshest seafood right off the dock! These guys know what they’re doing with these great local ingredients and they collaborate on the changing menu. Two types of expertly-shucked oysters, über fresh. Hand chopped halibut tartare was beautifully balanced with the smoky cream, salty eggs and lightly pickled radish - yum! Then four (only £13!) off-the-boat-wriggling langoustines, halved and grilled with garlic butter & samphire- perfect! Highlight was the seared monkfish tail on wild garlic citrusy pistou & pinto beans. A plate o roast (locally grown!) Jerusalem artichokes. Absolutely superb. All washed down with tasty local draught ales and a lovely Stellenbosch Sauvignon. These guys know their food, a gluten allergy was easy, but the experience was marred somewhat by their location. Anyone with mobility issues have to navigate steep stairs to the basement - god help you if you’re on the second floor! There are two front doors which were constantly left open by thoughtless guests and vendors, effectively blast-chilling the downstairs floor. Please don’t get me wrong - the food was totally worth it! Only the freshest local ingredients treated with total respect, in simple well-executed dishes I’d be proud to serve to a discerning clientele. I see complaints in here about pricing - ha! Portions are good and prices are 2/3 what they would be in the South. Keep it up, we’re already looking forward to our next family visit when the menu changes again! We’re still talking about this meal five hours later driving back South….

The food we had in here was very nice but expensive. The service left a lot to be desired.

Oysters.... Languistines and monkfish on the menu when I visited 18th March 2023... Absolutely delicious with a glass of white wine... Highly recommended

A genuinely exceptional dining experience. Every dish was superb. Particularly the halibut cerviche. The wine was lovely. It's pricey but as a treat it's well worth it. The upstairs of the fish shop is nice but the decor is a touch plain, however it's a minor criticism of a great restaurant.

Excellent service, very good food!

Wy wife had purchased this wonderful workshop experience for me which I attended yesterday. The day started around 10:30 am with coffees & pastries which was a great start to the day ahead. Adam kindly gave us an overview and some history which was really...

Sublime day on the shellfish/pasta workshop held here, all your senses get a right treat and your tummy! Wonderful experience all under a super skilled and caring team led by Carlson and Henry, whose fishability is mesmerising. No big chain formula here, just the rarest of things, enjoyment whilst learning (and eating) with a personal touch. Thank you!

Quite pricey, but fish is expensive… For a fish restaurant, the savoy cabbage was the most surprising dish. Would definitely recommend it. All the fish was nice. I enjoyed the oysters, langoustines and the ceviche in particular. There is reserved seating upstairs or walk-ins downstairs. The restaurant looks newly fitted-out and the plates are really good quality. Service was a bit amateur at times. The the food is a bit expensive (I wouldn’t spend £36 on the turbot chop again) and it would be nice if they put at least one slightly cheaper wine (below £35) on the menu.

As you can imagine, Fish is the name of the game. Seating options include window at the fish counter, sitting on stools chairs. or sitting upstairs on table and chairs. select when booking. Decor is exposed brick and pipework with Dark Green Paint and tiled floor. we opted for window, with a view onto Percy Park road. once seated Drinks were offered promptly from a nice selection, French cider, English sparkling wines, some amazing sounding stouts and pleased to see Austrian Wine on the list. Oysters of the day surprized me as they were from Mersea, Essex Menu is described as a possible tapas, if you only wanted small dishes then maybe a larger dish to share, We choose a more conventual route of starter and main. starters of Turbot Tartare and hake ceviche with amazing citrus sauces, beautifully plated Mains of roast Monkfish and Boleti Beans in a pesto like sauce and a slab of Turbot on the bone with a Rosti of Potato shaped like a large chip service with an amazing roast chicken butter sauce, more please a side of fresh sour dough bread with fishy butter for mopping up the sauce all served with great friendly efficiency going back can't come quick enough THIS REVIEW IS ALSO ON HARDENS

Just been for dinner at Riley’s fish shop in town. Was excited to try their new fish shop after having a wonderful experience at the fish shack last summer. Everything was spectacular, we were seated upstairs and there was a lovely atmosphere with spacious tables so not overcrowded. The server Pete was fantastic and very attentive all night, gave us a good overview of the menu and suggestions of how many small plates and large plates to order. The food was literally incredible, couldn’t fault anything, the fish was all so fresh and the sides beautiful accompaniments, genuinely the best cabbage I’ve ever eaten

Fantastic restaurants - great food, great drinks, outstanding service, lovely atmosphere, highly recommended

As a fan of the fish shack I thought we would try the fish shop. We arrived and were warmly welcomed and given a choice of seats by the fish counter (I do like you can choose where to sit when booking) We perused the...

Delicious fresh fish cooked to perfection. Interesting dishes that were beautiful to look at and amazing to taste. Fabulous. An amazing find. Helpful friendly waiters.

We had an amazing meal this evening at Riley’s. The food was fresh, delicious and beautifully cooked. The servers helped me navigate the menu to avoid my numerous food intolerances and made suggestions for what would suit me. It’s a lovely relaxed environment and I would really recommend making a visit. Gorgeous cocktails too

The best fish restaurant I’ve ever eaten in. We’ve been 5 times now and it’s never been less than 5 stars. The menu is always fresh and based on what has been caught that morning. Outstanding service, food, atmosphere and location. I can’t fault it...

A trip to Tynemouth isn't complete without having some food at Riley's, have been to the shack many times which always delivers. This was my second time to the shop, wow! The Turbot Tartare was just perfect as was the monkfish, everything so fresh and balanced in flavour, service great too! Love it here, highly recommend you pop in, will be back on our next trip for sure!

We had a wonderful evening with great food and atmosphere and friendly attentive staff. Thank you so much :)

Beautiful plates of food - halibut ceviche followed by monkfish just excellent even though I wasn’t sure about ceviche style but I’m so glad I chose it ! . Squid bouillabaisse then cod with samphire for my significant other which he thoroughly enjoyed. We are...

We had friends from out of town and wanted to show them the best of Tynemouth: the Shop did not fail to deliver. Two of us had the monkfish tail, one the halibut and one the brill. All were superb and made better by being able to chat with the chefs as we sat at the counter!

Exceptionally good food. Service could have been a little faster/more attentive, but we did seem to arrive at a busy time. I'll forgive them, though, for what was some of the best food we've had in the North East. Highly recommend booking the seafood bar, with full view of the kitchen

My husband had banged on about the fact he'd booked in here for weeks. Got there to find out that he'd messed up and he'd actually booked for a week after we'd arrived. They were great abt it and fitted us in. Food was lovely...

First time at this wonderful place , didn't think I'd like it as not really a fishy person but they did not disappoint We tried various small plates of food and it was all excellent, can't wait to return and try something off the full menu. We ended up staying alittle longer and had cocktails which again were great . The members of staff that looked after us were fab .

I had a lovely birthday lunch here. Fantastic choice of food. Some of the most lovely flavours and combinations I’ve ever had. Top quality food and fantastic service. Would highly recommend. Look forward to going back there!

Very high quality food in a relaxed setting. We have visited multiple times since opening and the food has been exceptional each time. Small plates, mains, oysters - everything is fresh and very well prepared. The crab and lobster pasta on the last visit was...

Incredible flavours paired together so well, a true experience especially with such knowledgeable and attentive staff service.

Visited twice. The second much better than the first. The food was very well cooked and presented imaginatively. Glasses for drinks were easy to handle. Server not as a knowledgeable as I would have hoped. He had to go and check on 2 things as...

A fantastic fishy feast. Went with a friend to try the “small plates on Sunday’s” but couldn’t choose what to have. So we ordered them all between us to share. Now that was a great decision. Mind after the five dishes between us and the explosion of terrific flavour I couldn’t have eaten another thing. All washed down with a pint of ale. Nice to see Adam and his family in having some fun time too. They even had a live DJ on upstairs where we sat. Maybe not totally my thing as I like the atmosphere downstairs sitting eating at the fish counter watching Carlson the talented chef and his team cooking up a storm. Great food great staff great experience. Give it a go.

In a weekend visit we visited here twice it was so good. Fresh oysters but also the most imaginative fish dishes. So flavoursome and the staff were so inviting and welcoming. So much so they chased me down the street when I'd left my brolly....

Loved this place, food was fantastic staff were very helpful and atmosphere was warm and relaxing. Will definitely go back.

Excellent seasonal menu; kitchen was happy to adapt to dietary needs (in our case gluten & lactose intolerance).Open kitchen environment downstairs so could chat with the chefs. Top knowledgable service offered by Richard, with great wine suggestions - really enjoyed the whole experience.

Always great - oyster fest today.

Excellent food, generous portions, friendly staff. Highly recommended. The lobster and crab tagliatelle with shaved truffle in a white wine and cream sauce contained really meaty chunks of lobster and more truffle than I've ever seen on a single plate before. I planned to use the bread to mop up any remaining sauce, it was so delicious, but by the time I got to that stage I was totally satiated! Still left a fairly clean plate...

Visited with my son. Whole experience fantastic. One of the best meals I have ever eaten. Been to the shack many times but this is another level! From start to finish all the staff were amazing. Sat at the kitchen counter chatted to the chefs-...

We enjoyed a fantastic 2 course lunch today. Top notch food, excellent service and good wine. The menu covered all bases and the portion sizes were just right - slightly too much for me, so the husband got to help out. My other half isn’t...

Excellent food, staff very friendly and helpful. Fish menu was better than I've had elsewhere in North east and better than a recent michelin star restaurant I visited.

Absolutely awesome. Not given to making reviews on food but I just had to comment on this. Monkfish tails, roasted beetroot, and potatoes green beans, spinach pesto and the most amazing flavoursome sauce or jus, not sure on the terminology but just the most amazing food I've eaten in forever. Prepared and cooked right there in front of me, from trimming the fish to seasoning and right thru to the presentation. Thank you guys!! Ian I'll be back.😁 Party of 3 the girls had the Lobster & Crab linguini....

My favourite restaurant in the north east by a mile. Food is sensational, service is fantastic. Couldn’t recommend it more. By far the best addition to tynemouth… since the shack anyway.

Absolutely brilliant. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Riley’s Fish Shop was an amazing eating experience and a must try for any food lover or chef! Watching Chef Carlson was mesmerizing and his insanely creative menu selections were suburb. Got to also chat with the owners Adam and Lucy, they are wonderful people and so passionate!! Definitely give this experience a try and sit at the fish counter if you can!!

Absolutely fantastic food and friendly service. Could not recommend enough

A good friend had booked the fish shop for a meal after the Ladies Day horse racing at Gosforth Park It is an interesting spin on a restaurant and not what I expected, not tables laid out for diners as most restaurants have, I loved...

Absolutely beautiful food, very tasty and fresh!

We went here after hearing good reviews. We were not disappointed the atmosphere was brilliant, very relaxing. The service was amazing and the food was delicious, more expensive than we would normally pay but it was worth it. The only downside was the 12.5% service charge, although optional you feel in an awkward position to say take it off.

Superb fish restaurant. Everything we had was well put together and incredibly well considered. Get a seat downstairs so you can watch the chef work.
