Solstice By Kenny Atkinson

We visited in early July. We have been to many fine dining restaurants both in the UK and overseas and we can say that Solstice is without doubt one of the best we have been to. The consistency of the quality and creativity of the dishes throughout the menu was amazing as even in the best restaurants , you can often come away saying that one or two courses were ‘average’. But not at Solstice where nothing fell short of fantastic ( we even joked with the waitress that we needed to find some new superlatives!). While all the courses were great in their own way, we would have to say that the Caviar, Langoustine and Pigeon were real stand outs. Coupled with an imaginative wine pairing made the evening. We can’t also comment on the experience without mentioning the staff. It was lovely to see and hear from Kenny himself , a real pleasure for us. But each and every one of the team were so knowledgeable and engaging. We have our favourite go to restaurants for special occasions and Solstice will be firmly at the top of that list. Thanks again to Kenny and the team for a wonderful evening

Food excellence at it highest. A balance blend of a experience, theater. Finesse ans an deep level of understanding and appreciation of taste. I An excellent opportunity to see food. Wing taken to a different level! Bravo! I'd definitely recommend this. It's not just eating it's opening up your senses.

The most amazing meal! Kenny and his team have done an incredible job turning the space into this beautiful food lover’s paradise. Each course is an incredible study of the key ingredient, with so much care and attention given. The chicken skin to start makes you question your own Sunday roast, and the lobster. Oh my days the lobster. I’d also like to draw attention to the age of the team, to see such amazing food come come out of a young kitchen is so inspiring. The future of food in Newcastle is in safe hands

Masterful. An experience like no other; elegant food, intimate atmosphere, professional, personable & knowledgeable staff. Excellent wine suggestions from Zak and his expertise were impeccable. A wonderful experience being able to connect with the chefs as they introduced each dish to us and it was a pleasure to meet Kenny himself. A special shout out to Ben Howard, who had a good chat with us and took his time to answer our questions. The chefs were incredibly passionate about their food. A unique experience.
