Amazing food, great service and a beautiful restaurant. We didn't have a reservation and we were lucky to get a table. I had the haggis bon bons with whiskey sauce and the shepherd's pie with almond green beans. Absolutely delicious. Washed down with an ivy lager.

Love that place. In the city of Glasgow. Pretty building, great location, awesome staff and very friendly. U pay a little bit more but it's worth it. Will come back for sure.

Went for a Sunday lunch the other week. We arrived over half an hour early and they found us a seat at the bar while we waited. Had a cocktail, roast chicken, and pistachio and raspberry sorbet. Hubby had roast beef and tiramisu. All was lovely as usual. Service was impeccable too.

Came for the fish and chips as recommend in other reviews. Absolutely amazing! It was definitely the best fish and chips I have eaten and a great first introduction into UK cuisine! Some may find it on the pricey side but 100% worth it!

Great experience at this restaurant. I went there with friends at first then with customers in a private room. The food is absolutely amazing no matter what you order. The waiters are very attentive and professional and the atmosphere is just lovely. Checking out the bathroom is a must as it goes with the whole theme of the place.
