Sidney's Restaurant, Tynemouth Review

Good Points
The Coffee (at the moment)

Bad Points
The Menu - No "fresh" food (Both main meat dishes were "slow cooked".). Repeated ingredients, badly presented and spelling mistakes.
No paper towels in toilet,
No bottled water,
A diminishing wine list (hand written)
Paper napkins

General Comments
I've been a few times and always left feeling I'd recommend it. This time we felt like we had been robbed.

The food is poor. I thought the menu was under playing the dishes in a clever way to exceed expectations. No, the badly written menu still managed to "fail to meet expectations".

I did not finish my main of slow cooked beef. I did not attempt a pudding based on the previous two courses. £5 for "rice pudding with jam" was just a bridge too far. My wife's pear tart? ...Well the ice cream was nice. Same. Sidney's Restaurantused to be good. The love has gone.
Very very disappointed.
