Windows On The Tyne Gateshead

We liked the idea of 'Windows on the Tyne ' but were quite disappointed that while seated in the restaurant there wasn 't much to see out of the windows. Mostly just treetops and the taller buildings on the horizon. The starter was simple and really enjoyable but my main, the green thai curry, was not up to standard. It was very watery and was served with plain rice so there wasn 't much flavour, although it had a slow burn to it. My partner 's main was very good and she couldn 't fault it. The food was nothing special but the bill was significantly higher than other local restaurants so I wouldn 't return. If you 're already in the Hilton and don 't want to go out then it 's passable and the restaurant itself is a nice place with very pleasant staff.

Went for afternoon tea. It was ok, but nothing special. The sandwiches were reasonable, but rather than bringing a selection, as other venues do, we were allowed to order one type of sandwich from the choice of 5/6 on the menu. The mini quiche was good, as were the fruit scones. The cake selection was nice enough, but all in all, afternoon tea at The Hilton was not the memorable experience we had thought it would be.

Windows on the Tyne restaurant is located in Hilton Newcastle. View from the hotel is good, food options in menu is also decent but only visit this restaurant if you have enough time and are good to eat cold served food. We somehow while staying in hotel gathered some courage to try out this restaurant for the second time even after bad experience from first visit and again we were served cold food that too after 1 hour. In the group we had Germans, English people and few Indian folks..

A very relaxed culinary experience. Good food at reasonable prices if you think it is a hotel restaurant. The restaurant is cool (almost too cool) so that wearing a jacket will not be a problem; those who do not like the cold would best bring a layer if it is too cool. The food was very delicious and well cooked. The new menu has many choices and the staff is very well informed about the menu and will be happy to recommend their favorites. Will definitely eat again here!

Very good food, cheap menu. Definitely recommend this place. Very friendly staff.
