"Popped in here for bite to eat in evening. Place seems nice enough, didn’t have the problems with staff some of the other poor reviews had. Problems were slow kitchen service then one of meals not worth the waiting for. Two Cullen skinks for starters were tasty enough though one was a little more devoid of fish than the other. Then the smoked haddock risotto followed the same theme ie. a few very small flakes of smoked fish, dish was mainly rice and peas with very little fish flavour. Could only eat a few forkfuls before calling waitress over and asking her to take it away. Was asked if I’d like anything else but given the wait already experienced decided against it. The restaurant did knock off the price of the risotto and our drinks which was more than fair as I’d have been happy enough with just the price of the risotto being knocked off. Given the kitchen didn’t seem able to cope with the customers they had I don’t think I’d be paying another visit."

"My husband and I, Grandson and partner and great Grandchild turned up at this venue today and it was full. Owner asked if we wanted to wait 15 minutes he would reserve a table for us. It was freezing cold and we said thanks but we would find somewhere else just at that about 6 folk were leaving and the owner asked if we wanted to come in out the cold he would arrange a table for us. He provided a high chair for the baby. We were very impressed by the menu and prices. My hubby and I had the angel cut haddock which was beautiful. Locally sourced too which impressed us. Good service , reasonably priced and very welcoming. We'll be back."

"This is restaurant that in the past my family has visited and thoroughly enjoyed which lead them to taking me and my partner there for my 40th birthday celebrations. From the beginning they claimed to not have our booking even though we had electronic evidence of it being made. We struggled to get the attention of the barman to get a drink as we had to wait for our table. When at table we found the waiter service to be very slow throughout our visit even as the restaurant got quiet with only a few patrons left. Also the food provided was below standard such chips under cooked, salmon undercooked, undercooked lamb, cold peas etc and wrong items provided such as asking for tap water and being provided with mineral water, also a smashed burger was ordered and a normal burger was provided. At the end of the service we ordered another round of drinks and they weren’t provided as ordered as we waited more than 15-20 mins for it so decided to get bill too see they had been added which then added around £20 to bill. Luckily we noticed and got our money back. As it was a 40th birthday celebration my family provided 40 candle for staff to then replace with their own high burning candle which nearly caught light shade at table. This was a poor service for a Saturday night the staff seemed distracted and unorganised throughout and unable to cope with the amount of customers. I do not think I will attend in future as feel this dampened our celebration"

"We were a party of 5, on a cold, very wet Saturday evening, coldest so far I would say! We drew up and saw a young family of 3 sitting with jackets on in the conservatory area, we were a bit concerned! We took a...seat at the back of the conservatory which proved to be a big mistake! There was a terrible draught coming from behind me, I did mention it and was told it was 27c at the middle of the room, but not where we were sitting!! I mentioned it a few times and sat with my shawl scarf on throughout! I pulled down the window blinds hoping that would help, nope!! We ordered our food, I asked about a vegetarian option for my husband, our waitress did say he could a veggie option on the curry and the tempura or risotto, which was helpful! I had to ask what was the soup of the day and also the pate!! I did feel that maybe in this day and age there should have been a small dedicated vegetarian area on the menu, but that’s just my opinion! 3 of our party had starters which were great, Cullen skink, scallops and langoustine tempura, Main courses arrived, 3 fish and chips, one lemon soul and one veggie tempura, all were excellent except for the veggie tempura which was large shards of onion and carrot in an albeit lovely batter, but not all vegetarians like huge chunks of vegetables! 4 of our party had a sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, which was plentiful! Overall we had a pleasant meal, little or no atmosphere though, one of the younger waitresses (white shirt, black skirt) was friendly and more talkative, the waitress (dressed all in black)who served us was, we all felt a little disinterested and lacked any empathy with the guests! We asked for our bill, the youngest waitress came with the card machine and felt how cold it was only then did she check the windows to find there was one opened, hence the draught, which spoiled our visit because we were felling it cold!! We paid the bill and left a tip on the plate, no one came to say thank you for you custom, or have a nice evening, nothing!! All in all it was pretty inhospitable! Value you for money, it was good for the standard of the food!"

"Candle lit restaurant created a beautiful ambiance. We had a very warm welcome from the staff. The food was delicious, excellent quality and presentation. I was delighted that you are still given a hot roll and butter while waiting on starters. Wine was very nice,...More"
