lovely evening at Cellar door, as it was busy they forgot to bring the drinks pairing with our first 3 courses but when we pointed out the error and said they could bring all the drinks out at once they obliged. The staff were fantastic and still smiling even though it was a very busy evening .

An excellent visit. The staff were wonderful, they gave a friendly and individual service. I felt looked after and that they cared. The food was spotless, still thinking about it 24 hours later. I highly recommend.

Food was ok, but was expecting a la carte with the high priced menu, but it didn’t match. The quality was in the main ok but quantity poor. Staff very nice and excellent service. Would expect a little bit more for the money.

After a tough year this little restaurant is probably in need of a makeover,however the food more than makes up for the decor.Visited as an anniversary meal and different from our experiences in England the Scots don't seem to give any complimentary free touches. Overall though definitely recommended.

Food and staff were amazing! We were there from Ayrshire for a small celebration and everything was just perfect. I had been before and really enjoyed it, so I knew it would be a great choice. We will be back.

I didnt realise how pretty the Cellar Door would be! I was amazed at the ambience and most especially the food. My husband and I both had the customisable lunch sets and the portions were spectacular. The mussels were a highlight. I would definitely return.

The mussels are fresh and the salmon tastes pretty good. Besides, Shetland iced tea would be a perfect choice for young.

Friendly service. Only 3 tables occupied in the place but all close together. Think they could do a better job spreading out the customers to ensure social distancing. Food was nice and good price at 2 courses for £12.
