Thank you Will for taking such special care of my husband and I on our first anniversary dinner at Meet. The service was 10/10 and very attentive. Our drinks were kept filled, our plates were never empty and we were treated to polite conversation throughout the evening. A special little dessert treat for our special milestone was the cherry on top. Thank you to Sam for the best espresso martini also. Every time we come the experience gets better!! Thank you

I was sceptical on going here after reading some of the recent reviews, so I was prepared to be disappointed. When I arrived I was shown to our table which was set up beautifully. I then had someone (I think named William) come and introduce himself and explain how the night works with the all you can eat. Offered us drinks while we wait for the rest of our group and was just all round fun, kind and genuine. When the rest of the group arrived we had a lovely waitress come and introduce herself and then the food started. I saw a comment on here complaining about the portion sizes, but they were always happy to cut extra for us. Our waitress even brought over some more cheese bread for us during the meat service because we all loved it so much! By the end of it we didn’t even get to try all of the different meats because we were so full from what had already come around. If I had to try to find a negative from the night, my 14 year old son ordered a Jack Daniel’s and sprite (sprite should have been a dead give away that he doesn’t drink! 😂) and the waitress took his order and walked away from the table to get it. We had to call her back and tell her no, he’s only a child. We had previously joked around with the supervisor (William?) about it when he tried to order a wine from him. I think we pissed the waitress off because her attitude towards us definitely wasn’t as pleasant afterwards. Not rude in any way what so ever, but not happy and cheery like she was previously. But we somewhat caused that, so I understand. Overall it was an amazing night and although the price point was a little higher than I’d usually pay for a family night out, it was worth ever cent and I will definitely be back again. Note for the owner…. A scoop of ice cream and some caramel sauce with those banana bites would make it an absolutely amazing dessert to end the night on!

From the word go, the service was magnificent. Food was cooked and seasoned with flavour. We ordered the full churrasco. Even Banana and pineapple fritters were Superb

Shame it’s only a 5 star review because I would give this a 10 star. First time tonight and blown away by not only the food and cocktails but the service was phenomenal easily my new favourite restaurant anywhere I’ve been. Management team lead by example anyone that gives less than a 5 star review is kidding.

I've been to a few Brazilian BBQ restaurants and was super impressed by MEET. The venue is sleek and spacious, and we were seated right next to the kitchen, so it was great to see the food sizzling away. The servings were really generous, which was a pleasant surprise and something that stood out to us when we compared to other similar restaurants. The meat was all cooked to perfection, and the sides were delicious. I know the grilled pineapple is always served near the end (as dessert) but would have loved to have it earlier. It was so good!

Just had the new barbecue board with the banana fritters and grilled pineapple with my dad. The whole meal was excellent but in particular the service by Tallison was exceptional. Highly recommend

My partner and I came here to celebrate our 8 year anniversary this evening and the service Will and the rest of the staff provided was nothing short of amazing. Food was coming out constantly, drinks were coming out quick, reccomendations were made and they even gave us a complimentary cake to celebrate our anniversary which was just lovely. We have come here many times and have always enjoyed it but they made it extra special for us.

Came here for my birthday dinner. I really loved it. From the moment you walk in, it's stunning. The environment and atmosphere that is created is wonderful! Calming while still industrially elegant. We ordered one of the BBQ boards, some drinks and the camembert bread which was all great! Flavours were wonderful, and everything was fresh. I found the price to be very reasonable as well! I would recommend and I would certainly return. There was some initial confusion as the menu is now different to the one available online, so I would recommend updating the website, but other than that all were very friendly and we enjoyed our time!

I visited Meet on Saturday and had such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the barbecue was outstanding. As someone with a Brazilian background and high standards for churrasco, I was honestly impressed. The service also deserves a special mention. Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive, and I felt very well looked after throughout the night. I’m from Sydney and it was such a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant of this quality in Newcastle. It’s definitely worth the trip. Highly recommend!
