It was so amazing. From start to finish. The service was outstanding, and the food was 1million out of ten! I got the trout and my husband got the steak. They made our experience in Scotland so special. Thank you! Their cocktails were fabulous and their whiskey selection was thorough. The prices were very reasonable for the high quality you’re receiving.

Brilliant restaurant, will definitely be back. Staff were really attentive, the venue was busy too and added to the atmosphere. Great food choices, I had the Mac Daddy with the poutine and was fantastic! The churros were the star of the show for me. Cinnamon churros with salted caramel dip. Great finish to a lovely meal.
