    My wife and I are Edinburgh residents, so make only occasional visits to Newcastle, but when we do and want to celebrate a special occasion, Dobson and Parnell on the Quayside is one of the first places we think of. On Thursday we booked it for lunch to celebrate a family member's birthday, and it did not disappoint! As always, the service and the food were excellent, and we love the ambience - and the location. After lunch we had a very pleasant walk along the Quayside.
