Sambuca - Tyne Tunnel — Restaurant in North Tyneside

Recently visited after booking a long time no see catch up. We arrived at 7.30 and had two courses. There were only two other tables in when we dined so a quiet Monday night. Food was lovely, highly recommend the calzone. Unfortunately by 9 we were the only two left in the restaurant and it was so evident that the staff wanted to go home. While they remained friendly, they checked tables, paced the room, turned off music. It became uncomfortable to the point we felt we had to leave. As we stepped out onto the pavement the staff literally left behind us, locked the door as we chatted outside and got into a car and sped off. It just felt very rushed. For us it was our first catch up in 3 months so we're really looking forward to it. We just felt uncomfortable and that our evening was rushed at the end. Couldn't fault the food and service overall but the need to get out...

Ordered prawn cocktail the lettuce still had grit on it. Husband ordered steak medium and came well done. I ordered steak strips and pasta in a sauce. The sauce was so sweet it made me feel sick so couldn't eat it. The garlic bread was nice had left over and asked to take home for it to be put in tin foil not a box. Was ment to have pudding not to even be offered it even though we paid for it. £45 pound down the drain. All the lady could say was sorry. nothing to sort any think out. I feel ill after eating there. Will stay away. Waste of money Last ate there a year ago gone...

I went here with my family and it was really nice. It's definitely for all ages. I have to say, the lasagne was absolutely boiling and I needed to pour it out of the plate. The wait was very long for the main course but we didn't mourn. The refills for drinks are free from my view. I don't think there were any vouchers being offered. Overall, the staff were kind. Music was playing but not live. Let me just say the music is in Italian so unless that is your nationality, you won't be able...
