“Been here a few times for drinks only. Staff are always friendly. We enjoy the cocktails. The food must be good as it gets very busy. Disabled bathroom downstairs and general bathrooms upstairs. There is a collapsible wheelchair ramp that can be used to access the restaurant. There is a couple of tables outside the front of the restaurant that can be used on nice days.”

“Lovely spot, friendly helpful staff striking a good balance. A big enough range of options, without stretching themselves too thinly. Food is well judged, fresh zingy, smoky, slaps all round”

“Visited tonight and sat outside in the late sun. Service was fast and the food was fresh and tasty. The large halloumi taco is my new favourite!”
- Kim Graham
“Food was tasty and well cooked. The Tortas were nice but the vegetarian one had no feta, when pointed out, the server apologized and brought more. The tacos were 2 tiny tortillas so had to order more sides which were overpriced. Lovely food and the staff were nice but the extortionate prices in relation to the portion sizes are beyond ridiculous. Won’t be returning as we have so many fabulous restaurants in Gosforth who offer value for money and you leave full!”
- Piotr Pacholczyk
“We’ve tried Lobo previously for evening meal and it was very nice so decided to come back to try breakfast option and OMG. Truly one of the best breakfast I had, steak and eggs absolutely delicious. Bit on pricey side but ok to pay the price for such a quality food. Recommend to try as we will be back again soon.”

Customer Review Summary
The recurring complaint is portion size against price. Several reviewers call the prices high or extortionate, one saying the tacos were two tiny tortillas that left them ordering overpriced extra sides. One diner found the front of house server unwelcoming, and another felt rushed when mains arrived before small plates were cleared. A reviewer also disliked the discretionary service fee and waited a long time to pay after getting the bill. One reviewer's vegetarian torta arrived without feta, and the server apologized and brought more.
