"Booked the Bothy for Hogmany Dinner. On the whole we had a lovely time. Unfortunately the service was not great. We were seated for twenty minutes before we were asked if we would like to order a drink. I asked for a Hendricks gin and tonic. Hendricks gin should be served with cucumber, it came with lemon which I dislike, I asked the server to change it but she came back to say they didn’t have any cucumber??? A bit strange for a restaurant!!! Despite paying for and pre booking our meal, we were in the restaurant for fully one hour before we were served our starters which we had to ask for. The next two courses came as expected after this and the food was good. I might add, the people on the table next to us, who arrived after us, were well through their main course before we got our starters. After finishing our food I ordered a cocktail only to be told they didn’t have one of the ingredients for the drink I’d ordered??? Why have it on the menu then???? I had to choose another. The staff were lovely and it was not their fault that the place was understaffed. They all appeared to be working very hard but at times no staff were to be seen. The music was not great but did liven up a bit as the night wore on!!!!!! He was not a bad singer but the music he played, other than a handful of songs, was not the most lively."
