Lovely restaurant, nice decor . Have been several times and recommended to friends. Servers today were Lovely as always but food was disappointing. Husbands soup ( Cullen skink ) wasn't very warm and not much fish in it . My soup of the day was delicious and piping hot. Husband had steak and sausage pie , he enjoyed the dish. I had mussels in cream sauce but they were look warm and wasn't even half way through they were too cold to eat . French fries were also Luke warm and looked reheated or else they were poor quality frozen fries. My husband mentioned to waitress when clearing the table that the food was disappointing. She came back and said she'd passed on our comments and our second drinks would not be charged and they discounted 20% off the bill as well . This was an appreciated gesture from the restaurant , but we would have preferred to have enjoyed the meal.

Second visit here did not disappoint. We had the set meal Sunday Roast and it was fantastic. The meat was soft and succulent and all the sides were perfect, felt like a real meal from home. The wine is great value, exceptional for Glasgow, and the Deserts finished the meal off perfectly. Lovely atmosphere and surroundings, we love the Scottish theme. A quick shout out to the friendly and competent staff who were on point with everything. We will be back soon, Many Thanks.

Good range of options on the menu and service and surroundings were great. Food was really tasty and well presented and the only fault was the vegetables were slightly cold.
