Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Attended a works Christmas afternoon in Leila Lily's. Cocktail making followed by a buffet. Would definitely recommend the cocktail making as it was something different from the normal Christmas nights out and a lot of fun. Food was great too and having the room for...the group made a big difference. Thanks Alice :)More

I’ve just had my work Christmas party at Leila Lily’s, we had the downstairs room to ourselves. And I couldn’t fault the night at all, Alice helped me organise the night and was amazing throughout it all! She was so prompt at getting back to...my emails and any questions I had regarding getting everything sorted for the night! Alice helped me organise my work Christmas party last year too, she’s just amazing at making sure everything was perfect for us! The bar staff on the night were just fab too! Food was amazing aswell, all my staff loved our night and couldn’t fault it one bit! Thanks so much to Alice and the leila Lily’s staff for an unforgettable Christmas party! ☺️More

Fantastic service from planning the event for 25 guests with Alice through to the night itself. Alice is very tentative prior to the event and on the evening along with Julie who was our host. Lovely venue and the staff all worked very hard to...ensure the night went smoothly and guests were looked after. Food was fab and great to see the chef to provide compliments. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed.More

We have just had our early works Christmas night here. We hired the rose garden room down stairs with food and drinks tokens as part of our package. Alice dealt with our planning from start to finish and was extremely helpful to fulfil all of...our requests for the evening! All the staff were incredible on the night, the two lads behind the bar, worked their socks off to make sure we were all well hydrated all evening :) Hats off to the chef the food was unreal! For a big group of 85 of us we had a ball of a night! Also this venue is absolutely beautiful! Thank you all again for your hard work on allowing us to have such a great night!More

Wonderful Afternoon Tea for 13 friends. Gorgeous food, beautifully presented. Clearly the vegetarian and vegan options weren’t afterthoughts and the majority of us chose them as they sounded (and proved to be) delicious. The decor was also beautiful. We all agreed that we would return...for the excellent friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. A great experience all round.More

This is on the bottom of Greys Street Hotel, but it is open to the public. Great beers on tap, large, well stocked bar. Great tasting cocktails, mix and match on the offer. Great Instagram decor! Worth a visit, good half way point between Central...and the Quayside.More

We pre ordered our food due to a few in our party having severe intolerances. The chef contacted us to recommend a better option for one of our parties after we'd sent off the order form. On the night our seats were ready the good...came out together and all were very happy with the presentation, size and taste of the food. The bar and restaurant are decorated lovely and the service was good despite it being a cold Saturday evening. We couldn't fault our visit and would highly recommended.More

As someone else said: don’t bother with the afternoon tea. The sandwiches were small, desserts were tiny and only got served alcoholic Prosecco, albeit requesting for it to be non-alcoholic, also didn’t get the tea pot. Attendant was rude about changes from some of the...desserts saying “menu always changes” - which highly doubt they changed in the span of a week of verifying online. Regardless: expensive and not up to par.More

Really poor service. We were told that we could not have a hot drink and an alcoholic drink. Explained that we would pay separately. Sandwiches were minuscule , pre made and dry. Tiny macaroon, very small scone and a cake which was tiny. Very small...potion, very poorly served and incredibly poor service as we had to call them to get a drink. Won’t be returning. Much better places to go for afternoon tea in Newcastle .More

The room downstairs is lovely but the organisational skills of the kitchen left a lot to be desired. Chips were delivered to one person way after the main meal was finished and the desserts were served 40+ minutes after the main meal. The food was...mediocre nothing worth the price. Too many other eateries to choose from so wouldn't go back. One bar staff member abusive about customer after getting drinks but other customers overheard the abuse and made a complaint.More

It's smart casual I believe. It's a very relaxed environment with superb service and quite plush, contemporary decor. Hope that this helps.
