St. Vincent

I really enjoyed my experience at St Vincent's. I dined with a good friend and we accidentally chose our menu items from the set menu as we arrived earlier than planned. We were not rushed to order or to be served, which allowed ample time to sample the Negronis, followed by a wonderful bottle of Spanish wine recommended by Evelyn, who happily tolerated us sampling all of her Chardonnays before choosing a wine, which was not a Chardonnay. The starter ceviche was light and tasty and we both had Hake for our main. What was particularly lovely was that the kitchen was really accommodating to my gluten-free and pescatarian requirements, and they even offered a dessert that was not on the set menu as a choice for me, which I was elated about as it is my favourite - Burnt Basque Cheesecake. The service was friendly and professional but as always with dining in Newcastle, served in a Geordie manner, regardless of the origins of the member of the team, the hospitality was personable, unpretentious and fun. Will I go back? Of course, I can't wait. I loved it.
