What an experience!
Booked lunch for my wife’s birthday, staff were so welcoming including Kenny himself!
Very relaxed feel, food was all served and processes described by the chefs themselves.
One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had!
The staff all signed the menu with birthday wishes for my wife which was a lovely gesture and I’m sure she’ll treasure the memory as we’re both foodies.
Definitely worth every penny and the drive up north.
10/10

We had a fantastic Friday lunch here. From the moment we walked in it felt special - there was attention to very detail of our experience. Service was friendly and all staff were so knowledgeable about the food and wine.
We expected the food to be amazing - it went beyond our expectations - so much flavour and texture. The smoked eel dish was one of the ones I was less enthusiastic about - however it was such a wonderful thing to eat. The Parmesan with generous amounts of truffle was just sublime. The wine pairings were unexpected and bold - the sake was a revelation.
We loved our experience here - it felt as if we had entered a dream!

We had an absolutely incredible meal at Solstice: melt in the mouth flavours, and faultless service in a small and intimate venue on the quayside. It was a really nice touch to be served by the chefs, including Kenny, and hear how each dish is prepared and cooked. The wine pairing was amazing and went perfectly with each dish.

Our favourites of the evening were the beetroot starter, catch of the day and the venison but everything was so good. It’s a great place for a special occasion meal!

Dinner.
A culinary journey that’s unrivalled in Newcastle.
For those not in the know, it’s the second restaurant from celebrated local chef Kenny Atkinson.
It's just a short walk from his other venue, House of Tides Quayside, Newcastle.

From the moment you walk through the doors of Solstice. An intimate and elegant dining room with just 14 covers sets the scene as Kenny Atkinson and his talented team welcome each guest personally.
When seated, you are presented with a menu simply stating the main ingredient of each of the 17 courses to come.

The evening begins with smoked eel cream topped with N25 Hybrid Caviar, served with chicken skin crackers.
Each of the following courses are served by a member of the Solstice kitchen team, who explain each dish in detail and stress the seasonal, sustainable focus of their cuisine.

There were so many incredible dishes to decide on a favourite. If you were to twist our arms, the highlights would have to be the lobster tail roasted in its own oil, served with yuzu kosho butter sauce. Accompanied by fresh Redcurrants & Yuzu caramel.
Or even the Dry Aged Royal Squab Pigeon breast. Brushed with a cherry ponzu glaze.
Served with a parker house bread loaf.
They even served an extra jug of Pigeon sauce périgueux.

Simply stunning. Kenny and his small team have created something which feels exquisitely refined whilst intimate, friendly and relaxed at the same time. With only 12 covers and the food being served and described by the chefs themselves, you instantly sense the passion to deliver an unforgettable experience.

The setting is smart and bright; think crisp white tablecloths, beautiful cutlery and light fittings, with a unexpected music selection making the surroundings feel less stuffy and formal.

The 18 course tasting menu read like a list of the finest ingredients available, and the initial selection of amuse-bouche set the tone with an entire tin of caviar making it clear luxury was the aim! Each bite delivered strong, defined balanced flavours. The presentation was, as expected, truly exceptional. Every element of the dish was proudly described in detail by the chef who had prepared it and the wine paring was both varied and exciting, again described with genuine enthusiasm by the sommelier.

The staff clearly enjoyed what they did and were happy to chat, as was Kenny, who at the end of the night sat with guests and chatted to us about the inception of the restaurant and his aspirations for it.

A truly unforgettable culinary experience.
