The Contented Vine

The service was well above standard. From arriving to leaving. The food excellent The staff exceptional.

Went for a midweek Birthday celebration with my husband. Food and service were excellent as always. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Once again a lovely meal with excellent service. Thank you to everyone front of house and behind the scenes.

The food was beautifully cooked and presented. Main course could have been hotter. Puddings were amazing!

Fabulous cozy restaurant serving amazing food! Will be back soon!

We use this restaurant a lot. We can walk to it from home and the food is always good. We went for an early evening one-course and, as always, the food was great, staff cheerful and friendly and enough people in so that we felt comfortable. We feel lucky to have such a nice place so close by.

The famous Carbonara lacked taste and depth! We had 3 children - who may I say behaved very well - but as a group we felt pushed to the back of the restaurant and forgotten about (even had to go and find our own coats at the end of our evening)

A nice relaxed evening, staff very attentive and eager to please

We enjoyed our visit to the restaurant and the menu choice and food was very good

Very good service food first class and excellent quality of wines with superb collection of gins

Lovely atmosphere and really busy for a Tuesday night in October. Food was very good although as it's cooked freshly there is a bit of a wait. We had some nice red wine and garlic bread which seemed to help pass the time until the mains arrived and it was all worth waiting for! We will definitely be going back and taking more friends who come to visit us in Kelso.

Lovely duo of fish and excellent puddings! Pasta was good too.

I have been to The Contented Vine on several occasions. It consistently serves lovely food, beautifully presented. There is a wide choice on the menu which is reasonably priced. One of my favourite places.

Lovely meal and very pleasant atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service.

We had beautiful food in beautiful surroundings with great service.

Too many customers too few staff. Food ok quite expensive.

lass serving at the bar very friendly, can't say the same of waitress who was efficient but unsmiling and a bit stern

Good servive, excellent food, waited just a little too long for the maincourse, but they were very busy

Great food and amazing service during an extremely busy time.

This restaurant is of a standard you would expect in Edinburgh or London! Well done to the owners for creating it in Kelso - it was so good we visited twice in 5 days! Excellent quality of food, good wine choices.

Good all round food and service - simple meal only required on this visit - cherry reduction with duck excellent.

Lovely family meal. We were a table of ten with ages from 12 to 89 and everyone was delighted with the food and the service. Well done and thanks again to everyone at The Contented Vine.

Lovely setting, food was delicious. Service was brilliant, restaurant was busy with only two staff on but service remained brilliant.

Beautiful place. Staff were very friendly. Food was impressively tasty, immaculately presented. Really enjoyed whole experience.

In an area where good eating out can be hard to find, Kelso is a gem and this restaurant really is the best of the bunch!

Great food ...probably best in Kelso these days..in my opinion

Loved the food, beautifully presented, piping hot. Very pleasant staff

It was a really busy night and we waited nearly an hour between starters and main course which was a ashame. the starter were good but the rest of the main courses were quite bland really :o(

The restaurant was very quiet , just 2 other tables. The food was very good but helpings were too large! Excellent service.
