A sonnet is a 14-line poem, and so the culinary poetry here takes the form of 14 courses, each one crafted with real care by Chef Gary McDermott. He and his partner Claudia, a natural host, have created a deeply personal restaurant, with many of the dishes coming with a story attached and plenty of attention given to each of the eight tables. The cooking blends classic French techniques with some well-balanced preserved elements. In an endearing touch that is typical of the place, dinner ends with ‘Elevenses’ for you to take home and enjoy the following morning.

The team behind Lovage in Jesmond have turned their attention to the fruits of the sea at this restaurant on the bustling Gosforth High Street. Despite not quite being the restaurant’s namesake, oysters are available in multiple guises to kick off proceedings, before a choice of prime fish and shellfish. The chefs are aware of the quality of their ingredients, eschewing overcomplication in favour of simple combinations – like Pink Fir potatoes, tenderstem and beurre blanc accompanying a generous helping of sea trout.

Osters位于High Heaton，以海鲜为主，TripAdvisor平均评分4.6/5。多数评论称赞食物新鲜美味，特别提及蟹、海鲈鱼、软壳蟹及鱼派，氛围轻松宜人，服务热情周到。然而，部分负面反馈指出上菜节奏不佳，个别菜品调味不足或食材与描述不符（如马苏里拉奶酪误作布拉塔奶酪）。另有评论认为周日午餐价格偏高且分量一般，脆皮猪肉质量欠佳。整体而言，餐厅在食物品质和服务方面获得广泛认可，但偶尔存在体验不一致的情况。
适合追求高品质海鲜体验和舒适服务的食客，建议避开高峰时段以确保最佳用餐节奏。

Head Chef Kleo is Albanian by birth and spent time in Italy before making the UK his home, so it’s no surprise to see the flavours and colours of the Mediterranean feature at this charming neighbourhood brasserie. There is a welcome lack of fussiness to the cooking, as each dish bursts with flavour. Go for the à la carte for the most choice, the fixed-price menu for the best value or the tasting menu for the full experience; sensibly priced wines from across Europe are an added bonus whatever you choose. Lisa, Kleo's partner, looks after the service and is a natural host.

Lovage位于巴克斯韦尔，提供现代美食，TripAdvisor平均评分4.5/5。食物质量总体受好评，如鳟鱼塔塔和羔羊肉主菜备受推崇，但部分评论指出菜品过咸、肉类烹饪不当或分量过小。服务通常被描述为热情且注重细节，但也有反馈称午餐上菜节奏缓慢，导致用餐时间过长。氛围温馨舒适，灯光与装饰精心布置，尽管有时较为安静。整体而言，餐厅在多数情况下能提供卓越体验，但个别时段存在品控波动。
适合追求精致现代料理且能接受偶尔品控波动的食客。

Named after the owner's childhood dog, this intimate, personally run restaurant has a quirky narrow shape, with art by a member of the family on the walls and rustic wooden tables. The set menu, available in two lengths, offers seasonally informed dishes that often utilise overlooked ingredients, such as a flavour-packed faggot made from less glamorous cuts of venison, served with the tender loin. The wine list includes some interesting organic and biodynamic choices, and it’s worth going for the pairings. Friendly, caring service is the icing on the cake.
