My partner had a negative experience with the bar staff who seemed to have a bad attitude when asked about the cocktail he made. Otherwise food was great and staff was friendly and welcoming. Great spot.

very nice, the only point I would make, and this happens frequently here, is when I ask for a medium rare steak they are always more on the medium to somewhat well done side, in my opinion.

This was amazing! I’m so impressed by this restaurant. We booked a table online as well as their complimentary shuttle service. We were picked up right from our hotel and taken to the restaurant, the driver was lovely and professional. The restaurant was huge and staff were lovely. Meals came out very quickly and were AMAZING! Highly recommend the steaks 👌🏻. When we were finished we walked back out front and hopped back on the shuttle bus which took us straight back to our hotel. 10/10 would highly recommend northerlies!

The last 4 times we have been there the chips are terrible, they need to find a new supplier, constantly biting out the crappy bits. Garlic bread was cold & dry. Steak was very nice & cooked perfect.
