First time at this restaurant having heard it was good. Enjoyed the whole experience. Marked the value for money lower as it was a set menu at the time (Hogmanay) so would need to attend again on the a la Carte.

Was there in Hogmonay & let down in 2 areas - 1. If asking folk to select menu in advance to avoid disappointment, then don't change the menu by serving them salmon instead of sea trout. 2. Service could've been better, as starters were being served when we hadn't been served our glass of fizz on arrival or our drinks order

Asked for some bread for the table and they gave us a slice each that was about the size of my pinkie finger. The butter was bigger than the bread. We were trying not to laugh when it came over , obviously was finished in one bite so we asked for a couple more slices and they charged us for them. Main meal was braised beef with haggis bon bone but they forgot the Bon bons....

We visited for a birthday treat for our 88 year old Mum who really liked it. As did my sister and I. The only complaint I have really is the cost. Very expensive for the small portion sizes. Lovely friendly staff.

We had the early evening menu which was excellent value. A small choice, but good enough to keep us happy, the food was well cooked and presented. Service was really attentive and very friendly.

The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly, so we were really impressed. The surroundings were nice too and the way the restaurant was decorated made it feel cosy - perfect for the damp, cold weather outside!

we've used it many times before without any issues, but this time my main course came out and my wifes was delayed, as the Kitchen had got it wrong. By the time my wifes meal arrived my meal was getting cold so I asked them to "stick it in the microwave for 2 minutes". I had to chase them up 5 minutes later to get my meal back and when it arrived it wasnt any different to when I'd sent it away! We just finished our meal and left, but it certainly wasnt up to its usual standard. We wondered if it had changed hands as we didnt recognise any of the staff, but when we asked the waiter he didnt answer--either because he didnt understand what we had asked , or he didnt want respond!!

It is a very Welcoming restaurant and you feel at home right away. The service is personal and joyfull, and we had a enjoyable taste of Scotland. The restaurant was full but never crowded or to loud. We will recommend this for all our friends going over there - Mie Denmark

The staff were an absolute delight. Happy, bright and extremely attentive. The food was also outstanding and with authentic Scots style. Of particular note was the kullen skink risotto (smoked fish). I’d highly recommend this restaurant for business, tourist and occasions.

The place is warm and the food is good. But the service was too slow, we had to wait a lot only for the waitress to give us 4 slides of bread and a lot more to have our main corse. It was really disappointing to have to wait and feel that nobody is paying attention to what you need.
