Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Newcastle

If you're looking for an authentic sushi experience this is the place for you. We've dined here many times but this was our first time at the Chefs table for Omakase. I have had sushi at a lot of places and this was by far one of the best Omakase experiences I have ever had.

This place is amazing, from the ambience to the delicious food and the wonderful staff. The menu is very versatile. There are so many choices. Everything was incredible! If you love meatballs try them for an appetizer. They are some of the best we have ever had. One of the best experiences dining at a restaurant. So beautifully decorated for the holidays Thank you Carmine’s for such a wonderful evening.

We’ve actually never been to Jak’s for brunch and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, the service was great. We sat in the back of the main dining room and found that the sound was a little bit louder than we would prefer. The menu has changed somewhat. We found this out because two of our party wanted steak for breakfast —and our server told us about the new menu. Sized and sides have shifted….but the stars of the show —the steaks —were prepared to perfection, outstandingly well—and we will return for that. The blackened salmon sandwich was top notch, the quinoa bowl with top sirloin (prepped “blue”) was devoured, as were the two filet and eggs brekkies.

Booked our table a month ago, was really excited to visit, The pink door doesn’t let us down. The Food was soooo good and we definitely ordered too much for two, we went straight with 4 Fresh Northwest oysters, Bagna Cauda(Hot Bath), Squid Ink Tonnarelli and Mama’s Meatballs; end up packing it for dinner the night as well, but it was so satisfying. Bagna Cauda (Hot bath) is the most amazing, knowing it’s just a “dip” for veggie, however, it’s different —- you have to try it to know how good it is.

The food was exceptional. So many great menu options it was tough to decide. We had a party of 6 and each ordered a different entree -- trout, banh mi, french dip, ahi salad, burger, and the prawn scampi. All noted as delicious and satisfying --fairly large portions. I ordered the sticky rice thinking it would just be two small ones, as it is most other places I have ordered from, but it was actually 5 on a plate and about 2-3 bites worth each one. We cut them in half and shared. It is very dark inside in certain sections, especially contrasted to the bright outside if you have a table by the door like we did. The service was pretty average. We saw our server three times, once to bring water and immediately take our order (didn't have a lot of time to think it over, though we could've asked, but felt a little rushed), then he brought us drinks, then at the end for the bill and cleaning up dishes, but nothing in between to check on us. Music is too low to hear but there's a lot of conversation happening in a small space so the music serves as somewhat of a white noise. I would definitely go back, I want to eventually try everything on the menu!
