"I had the lamb and hummus, both of which were cooked to perfection—juicy and delicate. The fresh juices were also great; I highly recommend the mango juice, and the lemon mint drink was just right. Typically, I find hummus to be too bitter for my liking, but here it was creamy and flavorful. I also recommend trying the mixed cold mezze and the meat dishes. Overall, a fantastic experience!"

"Food was lovely. No complaints there. My only issue was the service. The bill for me and my wife was For that money I don’t expect empty glasses to pile up at my table and we waited quite a while between some of the courses. Seems petty, but our bill from House Of Tides was and I left feeling like royalty."

"I decided to go here at a friend's request, I just had coffee, but my mate had a breakfast and what I found was this place is cheap, (not many places like this left) breakfast and two drinks cost less than 5.00.There is a vast array on offer and I'm sure if you have any food requirements such as pigs breakfast then I'm a very sure they accept your request, if you have food allergies then just ask them ! There is plenty of seating with easy wipe table cloths (reminded me of the 60/70's cafe commonly known as a greasy spoon but these places are a diamond and I love them, smoking area out back if you feel the need, definitely worth a visit I know I will."

"The place seems unprofessionally run. The staff all look like they could do with a bath. No overalls are worn and their clothes are all of the type that many would wear to lounge around the house in . Several have longer hair and beards but don’t wear any kitchen p.p.e. The decor is shabby and I wondered what kind of hygiene rating they would have. Although not busy, the staff seemed to be disorganised, falling over eachother and lacking in training. They seemed to handle the food in an inexperienced, clumsy fashion. The only tool I saw being used was a pizza peel for taking the pizza in and out of the oven. On all other occasions the food was handled. I didn’t notice any hand washing or alcohol gel in evidence. The menu is quite limited and uninspiring. 2 of the 6 pizza choices include chicken which Italians would argue is definite no no! All pizzas are reheated to order which eliminates the possibility of customisation. I don’t believe the restaurant would stand out in many European countries, as pizza in general is of a much higher standard than that in the UK. In spite of the above, The basic pizza is excellent in taste (even though it is all re-heated). And for this reason it is worth a visit. Compared to other uk pizza restaurants which are typically serving absolute garbage, the food is way out in front. If you can tolerate the negatives I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the pizza. However with a bit of effort, this place could be transformed into something truly amazing."

"I have eaten here on a number of occasions, and the fact that I have gone back probably tells you all you need to know, but I shall, nevertheless, add a few thoughts.This restaurant is situated on the top floor of the Baltic Art Gallery so, if you like artistic installations (I don 't) you can combine culinary and cultural pleasures. The food is good value for money and always of a high standard; you would pay much more for these sorts of dishes in London. The menu is slightly limited but, having said that, offers a good choice. The staff are friendly and helpful to an extraordinary degree The views from the dining area on a long summer 's evening over the Tyne and one of Britain 's finest cities is unforgettable. So, do I entertain any reservations? Well, yes, but it 's not one by any means restricted to the Baltic 6, and it is the general level of noise that diners now generate. Have we forgotten how to conduct ourselves in public? Now although, let me be clear, this problem is not unique to the Baltic 6 it is one not helped by the abundance of 'hard ' surfaces that act as something of an echo chamber. A few soft furnishings, drapes or similar might help. Just a thought if the management read this."
