Looking for good mid-range restaurant in newcastle cbd As the title said! I have a tutor and for christmas i want to give her and her husband a dinner out. I don't know what kind of food she likes so something that serves a range of stuff, or something 'neutral' [so not chinese, for example]
Looking to spend around 30pp plus drinks, but want it to have a nice atmosphere, maybe romantic. any recommendations?? The only place in the city i've had dinner is Zinc on Darby street and I didn't like the atmos or the food...

[Paymasters](http://www.paymasters.com.au/a-la-carte-summer-menu.html) ... though out of your price range ($30+ for dinner mains - their breakfast is reasonably priced and *awesome*) [Rustica](http://www.rustica.com.au/menu/) is a little less expensive, so may be what you're looking for. I've had a few dinners there and it's been great. [Del Peco](https://www.facebook.com/delpeco.likeus/info) in The Junction is also good - not quite as upmarket as Paymasters/Rustica. [Lotus Espresso](http://www.lotusespresso.com.au/dinner.html) is opposite The Junction Hotel (and very close to Del Peco) and is probably the better of the two [I've mentioned in The Junction] for what you're after.
