I wrote a review on the Waterside after having a fantastic Christmas lunch here, since then my husband and I have been back twice for the normal lunch menu and both times were so impressed.The food is exceptional top restaurant standard at such reasonable prices the service is brilliant and the atmosphere so relaxing.It really is the best place we have eaten for a very long time.The menu changes regularly and we were given a copy of the new menu which starts next month it looks equally as good and we are excited to try the new dishes.I can't recommend the Waterside enough if you havn't been you must try it.A special mention to Linda who is so welcoming and great with the students.Well done to all the students for the great job they are all doing and good luck with your studies - you would all be a huge asset to any restaurant.Oh and you get a loyalty card which when full entitles you to a free main course!Thank you for your fantastic feedback, we pride ourselves on our quality of food and service given, our students thrive on looking after all customers as without you all they would not be able to grow and develop their skills , sure we will see you after half term!

This used to be a grammar school - the halls hallways are littered with photographs revising its history. A huge amount of money has been spent being the building back to its former glory of high ceilings, ornate cornice and wood panelled rooms. The stag wear the old school tie.I was impressed with the amalgamation of the old with ultra modern bathrooms and fittings. There is still part of the rear of the building that remains untouched but I guess that this will change over time. Not the cheapest place, but what a building to treat yourself. There is an outside patio to enjoy the sunshine too.

The friends I met here visit regularly but it was my first visit. We only had coffee, scones and teacakes but they were delicious. The scone was toasted with melted cheese, delicious. Plenty of butter was provided for the teacakes. Great service and good value. Iâll definitely be back. Thank you for taking your time to make a review We are pleased you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again in the near future Kind regards Julie and all the staff at the Tearoom

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend while we were staying nearby. The dining room is attractive, comfortable, well laid out and pretty busy. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I had crab in a curry sauce for starter which was a bit unusual but tasty. The sole I had for main course was also very good. We wanted so many of the desserts that we plumped for the shared selection of desserts option - what a great idea, why don't more restaurants do this? It leans towards the fine dining category for me.

I use this bar on a regular basis, once or twice a week, for a drink and a game of chess. It's friendly, the drinks are decent quality and reasonably priced, and the music is pretty good.However, this clearly depends on the person in charge of the bar. Today the barman on the mid-afternoon shift was clearly having a bad day. Depressing music and a depressing attitude which virtually chased us out of the place.However bad day your day there is no need to take out on the customers who help to pay your wages.Disappointing.Hi Alice, So so sorry to hear this, and would like to know what member of staff this was, as this is my business and i have a playlist of upbeat eclectc tunes that i insist are played for our customers, sorry you had a bad experience.. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!!Steven James.

This has become a favourite family eatery in Middlesbrough. There is always a nice welcoming atmosphere and the service is very friendly and efficient. The quality of food is always excellent and itâs well worth trying the Polish specialities. Even more importantly, you must save room for the delicious homemade cakes.

A last minute decision to have an early evening meal. Two of us have been here before and 2 hadn't. All of our meal choices were excellent. The staff are excellent and will help with your meal choices and any changes (one of our group is fussy) and accommodated the slight changes with no bother and a smile - what more can you ask for. There is a choice of a set menu or ordering from the main menu, all have a lovely selection to choose from.All in all, well worth a visit.
