• "I am not sure I enjoy being asked whether 'I am here on holiday' as an ice-breaker due to the non-native accent."
• "Service is amicable and fast, they will fix things that happen quickly—I had a fly get into my scotch after 2 sips and they replaced it but then charged me for the replacement even though the reason there was a fly was because they left the door open (lack of air circulation otherwise)."
• "Outwith the food, the place seemed to have an issue with flies - they were flying about throughout the whole meal."
• "Our overall experience was let down by staff who appeared distant and lacking in enthusiasm."

• "We were in the private dining room which was nice but very very warm so a bit uncomfortable."

Value

Pros:
