Had a family meal here last night, booked a table for 4 for 6:30 pm. Fairly quiet at that time on a Tuesday, 3 other tables were occupied. Easily found a free parking place on the street nearby. A nice atmosphere inside with pleasant, airey decor. Staff very attentive but not pushy.
A varied menu and a good range of drinks including draught bitter and larger.
Not too long to wait for the food which was well presented and very tasty.
More people arrived while we were there, some had booked others hadn't. We were under no pressure to leave once we'd finished the meal. A very pleasant and relaxed experience.
It's a Chinese/Cantonese restaurant right on the edge of the Bailgate. It's a lovely restaurant and you don't realise how grand and fancy it looks until you walk inside! It's quite a bit bigger than you would imagine it to be too.
The food was amazing and reasonably priced. It was on the table very quickly, as were the drinks that we ordered as soon as we arrived.
The only criticism I have is that we felt a bit rushed to eat our food and leave, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. A waiter kept staring at our table when he would walk past (which was quite a bit) and he was quick to try and get the food off our table which we were slowly picking at after having our main fill. It was a little uncomfortable, but it was still a lovely experience overall.
First visit to Newport Arch restaurant. Though I had not made a reservation, they were accommodating and we didn't wait long for a table, and they were very busy tonight. Friendly staff, and checked to make sure we were okay and the food was alright. Good food, hot dishes on arrival to our table and attentive staff and a nice restaurant. I particularly liked the scented little wet towels to wipe our hands, something I haven't seen in many years! Will definitely go there for dinner again. Keep it up Newport Arch!
