"Our first impression of the Calcutta Grill began with the exceptional customer service extended by the hostess. I wish we knew her name. She was gracious, welcoming and friendly setting the tone for the remainder of our time there. The fish and chips were excellent as was the cobb salad. We will definitely return again. Breathtaking views."

"We enjoy Calcutta Grill because we have many good memories of Newcastle and our daughter's wedding. The view is spectacular. The food was good but not outstanding. We were disappointed in the dessert menu as it is not as good as it has been in the past. (both in choices and quality)"

"I've been a great fan of this place & have been going there for a few years now. Have hosted some group get-together especially in summers. First of all, the brunch buffet which was one of their highlights stopped. My recent experience there wasn't good especially in terms of service that will make me think about going there again. My friend asked for a substitution of which the server agreed to, but still brought the original dish out. When we pointed out, he said you should have told me before starting to eat. Hmm...how would we know? And then no compensation or anything?"

"Guess this is not the place to go for Valentine's Day. The service was horrible....we ended up with our appetizer, soup, salad and entrees all at the same time. We did not feel rushed but it is not the way I like to have dinner with a crowded table of food that you have to rush to eat before it gets cold. The taste of the food was very good and we had a wonderful table view. We will go to Calcutta on a regular occasion, but avoid it on special event days."
