"I found this place by accident one day and I'm so glad I did, my Husband and I love this place and when we take our Daughter (age she loves it too. Hubby usually gets Mussels in a tomato sauce iv tried them...fabulous) The Fillet steaks are always cooked exactly the way we want (Med to rare). Can I say Iv tried Diane sauce many many times and their Diane sauce is absolutely superb (different BUT BETTER) than anywhere. Casa Mia pasta is lovely and creamy, fresh and very filling. My Daughters favourite is macaroni cheese and she absolutely loves the garlic bread with cheese. There are so many lovely dishes on their menu Iv tried most of them) and I can honestly say I have never left disappointed or hungry, I'm very surprised by previous review about portion sizes I NEVER finish my meal as I'm so full with the courses couldn't contemplate a dessert my Daughter assures me they are the best). The staff are really good at what they do even if they are mega busy they still stop to chat and always ask if we enjoyed our meal. I had been unwell with Covid and my appetite wasn't quite back so left quite a bit of my meal the last time we visited, the Manager came to ask if I hadn't enjoyed my meal as I'd left so much. I have ONE wee thing, I love Pate but don't like terrine, so Chef La Belle can I have Pate that isn't terrine, PLEASE Really fab little place please try it for yourself, I'm so glad we did. This is our go to times a month. PS, Chi Chi cocktail is devine"

"Dalshanan Farm was the next on the list of “Scottish Curry Award winners”. I’ve been looking forward to this for a few weeks since visiting two other winners (Edinburgh). We drove 80 miles each way for what we expected to be a great curry. Unfortunately the experience didn’t live up to the expectation. We ordered a mixed platter to start which was just a plate of deep fried things! Over cooked (especially the samosa) , dry and pretty bad. A shame considering the reputation. My curry was bland, under seasoned and zero spice. I did raise this and the fantastic waiter (I suspect owner) changed it for another dish that apparently had more flavour. It did come out quickly but unfortunately had marginally more flavour and was spicier but absolutely doesn’t warrant the “HOT” warning. Looking at some reviews on here it seems like things have changed since they won the award. It was a long way to go for a meal that wasn’t memorable at all. Such a shame."

"1/4/24 i read a review that they have scones as most cafés do I think they're HOMEMADE, but I will find out the next time i'm in Cumernod. Most scones r varied like plain, fruit, treacle, cheese cherry BUT in this café there r a few more that i've never heard of b4. So over you go check them all out. The person in the review had a lemon white chocolate one sang the praises of it that's ONE of the main reason i ventured over also to check out the many reviews. Well the lemon chocolate scones gets a 10/10 the only thing about it was a bit crumbly when I tried to cut it in halve as u can see, I forgot to ask if it could be heated up a wee bit, a few folks like them het up. At least my broccoli "

"Enjoyed the beer garden in the sunshine yesterday. The food was so good I practically inhaled it. We both got burgers cooked to perfection. Sharon, who served us at the bar, deserves a special mention. Despite being busy she took the time to answer questions about the menu and went into detail about the quality of the cuts of meat. We’re definitely going back to try a few of the other meals she mentioned."

"I dined at this restaurant for the first time this afternoon. I opted for the fish and chips for lunch. After inquiring if the beer batter contained alcohol (since I don’t drink), the staff confirmed that it did. However, the very helpful Grant suggested alternative options and even checked with the chef. He assured me that they could make a batter without beer, which is a great option that many places might not offer. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was generous with delicious portion sizes. I want to extend my thanks to all the staff. Smiddy, you truly made my day! I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends and coming back in the near future."
