Menu Variety and Food Quality

Cons:

  • "The menu says 'cooking the Alps', so why salmon, mango, pineapple, and pistachio?"
  • "Food was good but without a deal a bit pricey."
  • "A bit disappointing. Service good but food lacking in quantity. Too fussy for most people."
  • "Childhood menu in Glasgow and no offering of irn bru which was a bit of a shame."

  • "Food fantastic as always, but service absolutely pathetic."
  • "Its hard to fault the food, albeit I was slightly underwhelmed on this visit."
