Went to restaurant on a Saturday before going to the theatre so was quite quiet. Staff incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks etc. Both of us had the Pork Belly which was tender and tasty. Sticky Toffee pudding lived up to its reputation. Overall a great experience and no hesitation to recommend

Excellent service and fantastic food! I had the tasting menu - 5 courses which included the fish cake for starter and venison for mains. Dessert was fab too. My companion had the two course set - fish cake and burger. Enjoyed the evening. Sitting spaces limited so advise making a reservation to avoid disappointment. Conveniently located too.

The food was too Expensive for what you get. Soup slopped in to a bowl and the portion of the veg risotto was a spoon full! Bellow average food. The only good things are the decor and wine.

Food was fantastic and staff were attentive, efficient and friendly. Warm cosy atmosphere . Staff took time to describe each course and enjoyed chatting to young waitress who genuinely seemed to enjoy chatting to customers without appearing to be making an effort.

Food was lovely and the staff were equally lovely. Only small criticism would be the slight lack of choice on the menu as the options available were quite basic e.g. burger/chips, fish & chips.. however saying that the fish & chips were really tasty!!

Très très bon et belle présentation des plats Service accueillant et très rapide Des saveurs écossaises typiques ou réinterprétées avec succès. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Pour changer de la cuisine des pubs sans se ruiner. Grand choix de bières en bouteille écossaises.

Amazing food and service - not a finger to put on it - and reasonable prices. I celebrated my birthday there and they were a part of making that evening memorable.
