Description

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.

Review summary

Located in High Heaton, Osters specializes in seafood and holds a 4.6/5 average rating on TripAdvisor. Positive reviews frequently highlight fresh, well-cooked dishes such as crab, sea bass, soft shell crab, and fish pie, alongside a relaxing atmosphere and attentive service. However, some negative feedback points to inconsistent meal pacing, under-seasoned items, and discrepancies in ingredient descriptions, such as mozzarella served instead of burrata. A few guests found the Sunday lunch overpriced for the portion size and quality, noting thin pork crackling. While the majority praise the culinary quality and hospitality, occasional inconsistencies in food preparation and value perception remain notable concerns.
