Incredible. It's not often you take your first half a bite and you're in food heaven. At "21" you are. Excellent team, very friendly, great advice on food and wine pairings. I had the scallops, roe deer and creme brulé - couldn't fault any of them! Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back. Great for special occasions, business meetings, or a romantic dinner.Incredible. It's not often you take your first half a bite and you're in food heaven. At "21" you are.

Was surprised I visited 21 Queen Street in the past and at the Ackley Heads venue never a disappointment however not so on this occasion. The soup rather than as described a fish soup was a bisque and the duck was so salty was inedible. Style over taste!

I chose this restaurant for a date. The service attitude is very good and the environment is nice. I like the steak and duck liver the most.

The atmosphere was poor, we were pretty much eating in the kitchen. The food was good but not great. Took over 45mins for the food to arrive. They didn't have all the drinks on the menu. Overpriced and average experience. Would not recommend.

* Took a hit at Blackjack or ‘21’ if you will • Quite the win at this table *Despite only living within several hundred yards (as the kittiwake flies) of ‘21’, I had yet to set foot in this eatery…Newcastle’s January ‘Restaurant Week’ proved the catalyst. The place was packed to the rafters. Admittedly, I was a little anxious about a dilution in quality given the crowd. What a silly presumption. We were shown to our table which was nestled within the classier end of the establishment. The ‘big hitters’ had arrived, they no doubt thought.One of my fellow companions was raving excessively about the bread pre-visit. Baked on site, word has it. He was wolfing it down and the baskets kept on being replenished. Dry January has put a bit of a spanner in the works whilst out socialising this month. I was pleased however that there were non-ethanol based options on the menu. Good work.My two comrades ordered the cheddar cheese and spinach soufflés to kick things off which were a sight to behold. No skimping on the portions. They were nearly comatose afterwards mind you. I opted for the lighter terrine of local Geordie deer and a German turnip (‘Kohlrabi’ if we are being pedantic).When full consciousness had been regained the mains were thrust upon us. 2 glorious plates of substantial pork belly with gorgeous red cabbage and a Spanish black pudding. How very continental. The bread fanatic opted for the beef medallions which also looked a treat; I’m not a ‘mushroom sort of guy’ but even the fungi across the table were tempting me, as they lounged seductively on top of the meat.It was then time for the desserts to take centre stage. I flirted with an orange tart (from Seville). Very sophisticated however. The ginger cake with toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream also looked delectable.The 3 courses we received for £25 were just formidable. In our current heavily inflated world this was the finest music to my ears. The service was impeccable too and even drew a tip from myself, which is a rarity these days.Genuinely impressed.‘21’ absolutely aced it!
An excellent meal to celebrate my wife's birthday. I had duck as main course which was superb, i have only given 4 stars as we had to ask for the vegetarian menu despite being given an ensemble of other menus on being seated which in my view should include the vegetarian menu.

We went to celebrate a Birthday which is always a bit tricky so close to Xmas but were aware of the Xmas menus, so that was fine. Always look forward to a visit to Café 21 but on arrival this time, it was a lot noisier than usual with a big group rather dominating things at reception although staff were trying to calm things down. We had been allocated a table in the private dining area which wasn't what we wanted. Staff were at pains to put things right and we ended up at a good table in the main restaurant area. The atmosphere (aside the large group who were still very audible) was pleasant. The food for all of us and for each of the two courses we all had was excellent. The cheese soufflé is one of their signature starters and, as always, it was absolutely delicious. The three mains - pork, pheasant and cod - were all cooked to perfection. Simply couldn't fault it. Coffees to follow plus a complimentary chocolate ganache torte with Birthday candle (which was a surprise) and delicate minemeat thins. The wine is decent enough but pricey. But, for an occasion, it remains a very reliable place to go and the staff are always professional, polite and friendly.

Great festive menu at 21. Wide and interesting choice for our party of wide age and tastes. We particularly enjoyed the cheese souffle, pheasant, the chestnut pie (v), fresh doughnuts and chocolate souffle with caramel sauce. Good selection of wines. Pleasant atmosphere and full of diners. Excellent all round.
