Christie's Scottish Tapas Falkirk Reviews Summary

Tapas Variety and Quality

Pros:

• "The food was very varied and it was difficult to choose what to eat. Which is always a good sign."
• "Everything we tried was amazing. Highly recommend the irn bru wings and the haggis doner."
• "The food arrived promptly and was amazing. I ordered the BBQ pulled pork for a starter and the steak and haggis burger which were immense."
• "The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly."
• "The food really was delicious, and different to other places you could go to."
• "The food is served in small portions, like tapas, except it’s Scottish, not Spanish."
• "The menu selection was excellent, all tastes covered and really good value for money."
• "The food was excellent, the Perthshire stew was a highlight for me."

Cons:

• "The food was disappointing. Tasted as if it had been reheated."
• "Food was ok. After being told there were no bottles of sparkling water did not appreciate being charged £4 for the jug of soda water when we asked for tap water."
• "The food was bland and cold. The haggis was chewy on the bottom, the meatballs were questionably cooked, the chicken tasted pre cooked, the sliders were dry yet still pink in the center."
• "The dinners are good, but don't go for breakfast. Tattie scones were undercooked and complete mush."
• "Food was ok. The black pudding was soggy and gooey, though I'll admit some people like it that way."
• "Really disappointed in this place. We had invited friends from Hong Kong and I was embarrassed by the standard of food served."
• "The food kind of let the place down. Usually tapas is ordered and brought out, piping hot, a few dishes at a time, but here, you order everything and it's all brought at the same time."
• "The food was poorly seasoned, elements seemed precooked, some were burned and others were simply bland."

Service Experience

Pros:

• "A thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. I literally can not fault any part of the service or food."
• "The staff were really welcoming and very nice, even though it was a boiling hot day and they must have been melting."
• "Sam and Graham were the best! I was even introduced to a Scottish Mule, and I'm never turning back!"
• "Service great. Only very minor criticism is that it's very bright in there and they might want to ease the lighting for a nicer ambience."
• "Absolutely brilliant service right from the start. Friendly, polite and very helpful."
• "The service was outstanding - friendly and attentive without being too much."
• "The staff were very friendly and chatty & couldn’t do enough, always checking we were okay & had a bit of banter with them."
• "Excellent service, food delicious top notch and quality, the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming."

Cons:

• "We felt extremely rushed. Our group of seven was told six times that we had to leave by a certain time."
• "Service could have been a bit better however. We had to ask for Clapshot twice and it came when we had almost finished our meal."
• "The overall decor inside the restaurant is very impressive, modern and welcoming but the servers lack of smiles, general questions around how the food is or how is your day, what have you got planned etc was the part that ruined out experience."
• "The food was wonderful: haggis bonbons, potatoes in mango chutney and lots of fish dishes. I have taken a star off as we had to wait in the street for about ten minutes even though we had a booked timeslot."
• "The service was extremely prompt and courteous. Particular praise goes to the meat sliders and macaroni cheese balls, I could have eaten just those alone."
• "Good food. But don't like if we want the bill whilst still eating. Then saying the table was booked. Why not put us at a table that wasn't so we could enjoy our meal."
• "A fantastic place. My friends organised a surprise birthday dinner for me. I appreciated it due to the Scottish theme and as I had just moved to Scotland."
• "Tabled service was lacking. Not attentive at all. Had to pull someone up for to order more drinks after 20 minutes of sitting."
