Bang bang chicken starter was a bit bland. Had to wait half hour for bill. When we arrived put in very small table at door with a pillar and had to be moved.

Starters and dessert were substandard. Very disappointed as I've had such good experiences in the past, if it were my first time visiting then I'd be reluctant to go again. Was hopefully just a one off.

Lovely food - french onion soup was so perfectly authentic in flavour and presentation. Really great wines to choose from. Exciting menu - a heady mix of traditional and bold, blended to perfection. Tip-top service!

Had lunch with their fixed lunch menu, 2x courses for £10.50 / 3x courses for £13.50. Food was excellent and great value. Only negative was price of the drinks. No draught beer available and 330ml bottle of local lager was £4.95 and 175ml of wine was £6.15. Accept that the drink prices subsides the food but still think the price of the drinks was excessive

Good food served with friendly service. It was nice to be offered water automatically. More prominent outer signage would be helpful in preventing this good restaurant being overlooked by passers-by. I was meeting a friend there but she couldn't find it, having already walked past it twice.

Very good food and lovely ambiance where we were seated. Only downside we felt was that, for us, the main course choices were slightly limited. Otherwise, a great evening.

Been here plenty of times and never wrote a review, it's definitely my favourite restaurant in Glasgow. Have brought my entire family here and lo and behold my mother had 3 courses! This for a woman who eats a main and leaves half on the plate 😅 Staff is adorable but the main reason I love it is because the menu is so thought through, all the flavours go beautifully together and their vegan menu is absolutely fantastic, I can only recommend it.

A great lunchtime venue, tables not too crowded together, music background rather than in your face/ears, attentive staff, tasty food and a reasonable price, ideal for lunchtime meetings

The restaurant coped with the change in numbers. The food was very good as was the service. Downside was the £20 service charge because we were more than six. I know that it is in the small print, but I really don't see the need as obviously the got two more starters, mail courses, drinks and an extra bottle of wine!

Finally a restaurant that has taken the time to understand dietary requirements. A lovely a la carte and pre theatre menu for gluten free. Dinner was beautiful, second visit and certainly won't be the last. Also got to speak to John quiggly who is the owner. Well done John thank you for another lovely meal.

Good food. Friendly service. There were 4 in our party and we were given a booth upstairs. It felt rather cramped and we were all of slim (ish!) build. It was the first time I had been upstairs and I was slightly disappointed by that. However the food was good and they offer a good menu for vegans which was useful on this occasion.

Second visit to this wonderful eatery. This is casual fine dining if there is such a thing. Every morsel is worthy of a mention and the atmosphere is comparable to having friends over for dinner - just much more than normal!! On our latest visit "Chef" made an appearance at our table to apologise for a noisy hen party - no apology required - we were loving the fun. He also added he had 62 people in from a choir over from USA again no apology required especially when we got a rendition of Going to the Chapel to accompany the hen party. Great night. Food amazing. Will we visit again - try and stop us. Only one complaint from hubby - no draught beer!!! We will just leave him at home next time !!! Sorted.
