The staff was super friendly! The waiter helped me make my dish selection and he was so right! I had the mussels in the whiskey bacon and cream sauce and the salmon- both so delicious that I finished it all! Everything was perfect!

Great steak and beef dripping chips superb. Would like to see a starter of muscles on the menu but I am sure if I had asked they would have provided, the service was excellent

We went there as a party of 4, which adults and 2 kids. We were served quickly, the staff were nice and helpful. The food was excellent and not overpriced. The kids portion were decent. We often go there if we're in the city, and will again next time.

Excellent experience. Food was top notch (probably the best steak I've had, anywhere), good service and they even brought us a heater for next to our table. The kids really enjoyed their food too. We'll be back!

The food was good but, being from Texas, we know good steak. Their best steak was comparable to some good steaks that I am used to eating and which typically are served with sides. The cost of the meal plus the a la carte sides made the meal much more expensive than I am used to.

Great service with great food, staff are friendly, menu is varied enough but not too much, the mussels come in several different 'flavours' I loved the Thai ones.

Excellent mussels. The crab meat lasagna appetizer was very tasty, too. The steak was also good, but we enjoyed the mussels more. Convivial atmosphere. Service was relatively efficient, but please be a bit more patient during busy hours. We had such a good dinner there the first time that we went back for lunch again a second time during our two-week holiday in Scotland.

The food is very good and the service, a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry. However the menu did not seem as varied or interesting as it has been in the past which was disappointing. We did miss out on there being specials which may have been a part of that? I thought 1pm on a Saturday was a bit late to be deciding specials for the day.

Food was ok. Mistakes made with the order and when two kids ice-creams were ordered, delivery of one bowl and the waiters explanation is for the kids to share is just plain odd. Not the best eating experience.

Service was great. Food was mostly good, steak was tasty but tougher than I would expect for the price and the pepper sauce was very bland - just tasted like single cream with ground black pepper. Chips are excellent as are the mussels. I think they could do better for the price that they charge.

Lunch menu. Food was lovely, service was great, water could have been a bit colder,but there was plenty of it! A bit more choice for desserts and we would have had 3 courses instead of two.

Our party of four all thorough enjoyed the meal and service that was provided. Starters tasted great with the Haggis and mussels for 2 of us. 4 steaks and chips that were cooked to our order, season well and presented lovely. Desserts were tasty with not a crumb left in sight. Servers were very friendly and couldn't have done anymore for us on the night.

i have visited this restaurant on many occasions however this time I felt it wasn't as good. The portions were smaller but I'm not sure the price was, the red Thai curry mussels weren't anything resembling red Thai curry and the atmosphere in the upper floor of the restaurant was poor. I wouldn't go back, and this used to be my go to restaurant!

Highly recommended. Great food and service, just not sure if the sauces with the mussels, delicious as they were, were quite as described in menu !
