"It 's been a while since I 've written a review on Tripadvisor, but after visiting The Delivino restaurant in Crieff it became clear to me that it was time to dust off my keyboard and write one. Myself, my partner and my in laws visited Crieff for the afternoon, travelling from Leslie, in Fife. We stopped a friendly looking passer by on the High Street and asked him if he could reccomend somewhere we could go for a nice lunch. Without hesitation, he advised us to go to The Delivino and pointed us in the general direction. We were so pleased he did. If I was to sum up the experience in a word, it would be 'perfection '. First we were warmly welcomed in and guided to a table of our choice. Next, perfectly timed, a waitress came over to us, first, to take a drinks order then shortly after to take a food order. It goes without saying, her attentiveness and timing was impeccable and she was very warm and friendly. On that note, let 's get onto the food. That word again perfection. The four of us were very pleased with our meals, they were all very tasty, well presented and cooked to absolute perfection. The service throughout was also perfect. A perfect amount of time was given to decide on drinks and menu items not too long, not too rushed. The waiters and waitresses glided around, always being available but never appearing to encroach on our peace and space and their manner was always warm, subtle and thoroughly focussed on the diners. As I said, if I was to sum it up in one word, the word would be 'perfection '. We will definitely return."

"We visited the Murraypark for dinner after a hunger-generating day of hillwalking in the local area. Being seated in the sunroom, it was slightly offputting to see the beer garden in a poor state of maintenance and the windows being dirty (complete with evidence of recent birdstrikes). Added to the sad state of the outside view, there was a rather inappropriate musical background being played far too loudly throughout the night. We often felt as if we were eating in a nightclub instead of a restaurant. The menu is basic, with a selection of steaks and a few other pub-grub type alternatives. Sadly, quite a few items on the menu were unavailable on the day we visited. The staff were friendly, well presented and attentive, but were unable to answer questions as to which drinks were available. This perhaps not their fault; as we did discover that the Murraypark has a vast selection of drinks in the bar area. Perhaps there should be a drinks menu provided at each table, alongside the wine list, so staff won 't have to try to memorise the entire bar menu. The food was a disappointment. The steak, pancetta and mushroom pie seemed to be lacking any mushrooms at all and the pancetta consisted of tiny little cubes that added no discernible pancetta flavour. The steak in the filling was great, perfectly flaking apart in texture and sitting in a rich and delicious gravy. The pie lid was a disaster. The puff pastry had not puffed at all and resembled a slab of concrete which had to be removed in a single slab and broken into pieces separately. One of our party had the mixed grill and was overall pleased with what they got (save for the liver, which was one of the unavailable items on that day). The rib-eye steak was described to me later as having been 40% gristle which is not great when you are selling yourself as a steak joint. The sauces served with the mixed grill and rib-eye had split and were watery. The Murraypark has three stars, and deserves every one of them."

"As a group of three couples with a yong child, we were all excited to visit Cafe Rhubarb, the reviews were good, as was the cafe’s location in Crieff. Unfortunately from the moment we walked through the door our experience was poor and only got worse. The staff were all quite rude and the atmosphere was unwelcoming. We very quickly felt like an inconvenience. The menu looked great, a bit on the pricey side, but we were happy to pay more based on the foot being of good value. Unfortunately, the food that was served did not reflect the quality, the price or the reviews. We ordered pancakes with banana for our wee one, it arrived with a long hair which later was made clear to have come from the chef who came out without a hairnet. The salmon bagel arrived in an undesirable brown colour, the £7 two slices of french toast were both burnt, and we had to remind the waiting staff of drinks that were not delivered. We also had to ask for cutlery, salt and sauces after the food had been delivered. We were happy to leave the salmon without a replacement meal. The chef made loud comments about the salmon, which could be heard from the kitchen. It was made unpleasantly clear that she (the chef) was unpleased that our party didn’t wish to eat a the salmon. The cafe itself has an evident condensation issues. As all the windows, mirrors and even the toilet walls/mirrors and floors were soaked in condensation. The humidity was quite uncomfortable and did not make for the nicest environment to enjoy a meal. My partner being a National customer experience trainer, tried speaking with the server about removing the salmon from the bill. We were met with a very rude and defensive chef and server, who were very loudly and rudely defensive. This created a very uncomfortable atmosphere for my group and undoubtedly for the the rest of the cafe. Some of the food served was lovely and quite enjoyable, so we really hope that the cafe consider their approach when dealing with customer service in the future. We hope they address issues with health and safety like the condensation and the lack of a hairnet from their chef."

"I traveled from Brighton to Scotland to do the NC500 and stopped in Crieff for the night. I dined at this restaurant, which was extremely expensive and the food was terrible. I don't understand how some reviewers have given it five stars. The food was truly awful. For example, I ordered a chicken Pathia, a dish I have had many times before. The sauce was made with tomato paste and ketchup, lacking any spices or authentic flavors. The chicken seemed to be pre-cooked and tasted old. It was disgusting. I could go on, but you get the idea. Stay away from this place and eat somewhere else."

"Went for a day out in Crieff and stumbled across this place and weren't we glad we did. KB's Italian is amazing. The decor, food and service were top class. It's a family run business serving authentic cooked food and I love Italian. We had starters and mains and the pricing was extremely reasonable considering the quality, I would have been happy to have paid more. If visiting Crieff, then build a visit to KB's into your plans and you'll be delighted you did. Need one of these in Edinburgh. We'll be back."
