Food Quality
Pros:
"Food was amazing, everything wash fresh and tasty."
"Food was fresh and had amazing flavour."
"Every dish was delicious."
"The food blow my mind, the young lad who served us (finley) was so attentive."
"The food was fantastic - quality and presentation that you would expect from a restaurant charging twice the price."
"We ordered 6 tapas dishes and a side portion of truffle and parmesan fries. The haggis bon bons and the Orkney cheddar macaroni bites were both excellent and can't be faulted."
"The food in the main was really nice with four of our six dishes perfectly cooked."
"Staff were friendly, lovely relaxing atmosphere, amazing selection of food."
Cons:
"On the second visit we had chipped wine glasses and the melting cheese pot was just an empty cardboard packaging with literally 2/3 cubes of cheese!!"
"The gnocchi is so chewy, it was still sitting in my throat after downing a pint of juice!!"
"We ordered 2 plates of the gnocchi and both looked and tasted completely different!"
"I think they forgot to add the sugar in the mocktails as they were very sour, most of the other items tasted so different from last time."
"The big yin meals fish and steak burger were awful, the children's cheese pasta was tasteless and mush."
"The food was ok. It is very bland and requires seasoning, a lot of."
"Some of the meat dishes were overcooked (pre cooked too far in advance I suspect) and rather dry."
"The pink chicken in peppercorn sauce had no taste, certainly not of peppercorn."
Service Quality
Pros:
"Staff were super accommodating on our visit with our 9 month old."
"Staff were on point from the floor to the door."
"The attention to detail from Pedro was second to none, very informative and suggestive with specials and drinks."
"Both staff members who served us couldn't have been nicer. Really friendly, helpful and polite."
"The owners and all the staff should be extremely proud of what they have created together."
"Staff were friendly. Only issue was overhearing quite inappropriate comments made by what I assume was a manager (older man with glasses) to young female staff members."
"The food was excellent and good portion sizes. Wait staff were friendly."
"Had a wonderful dinner with my partner and grandmother on a Saturday evening. The food, service and atmosphere were simply perfect."
Cons:
"When we complained the waitress with the long dark hair was just plain rude!"
"The service is ridiculously slow and that too on a quiet night."
"We left most of the food and didn’t bother complaining as the waitresses were very lovely."
"I would have given a better rating on the food as it was really
really good until I found a hair in the cauliflower apple croquettes."
"Service was good and the staff very nice but won't be back."
"We went for breakfast on a Sunday. My husband ordered the porridge and the waitress questioned him with a 'Really??', rolled her eyes, then laughed."
"Service was erm a bit like faulty towers."
"The service was good. Not sure I’d go back."
Atmosphere and Decor
Pros:
"Place has a bougie relaxed feel and they welcome kids."
"It's a lovely looking restaurant. Really clean and modern."
"The restaurant set out well and relaxed and staff where all professional and attended to your needs."
"The restaurant is lovely inside and the staff were phenomenal, very welcoming, attentive and friendly."
"A brilliant use of a Spanish concept for Scottish food. The restaurant is lovely inside."
"The restaurant itself was very loud and echoing. Some softer furnishings would help and again, a more Scottish twist in the decor and better coordination of the colors used would be nice."
"We - 4 of us - choose three plates each. They arrived at the same time and we shared everything. Great start with the mac and cheese balls."
"The atmosphere is great with the Scottish music and the kitchen always looks like it has good vibes."
Cons:
"The food was cold, dry & barely had any flavor to it. Service was also pretty shocking."
"The food that was undercooked was highlighted and left but we were still charged for the dish."
"The feature panel wall, bar area, tables etc were all fine but the dazzling bright lighting, cheap looking artwork and complete overkill of tacky dried flower displays give it the air of a communal room in a care home."
"The Scottish tapas theme sounds good but in practice it falls short of the mark."
"The big let down was the bizarre decor."
"The restaurant has a really noisy atmosphere between music, the kitchen and restaurant acoustics (about 3/4 full at the time)."
"First impressions were great. Lovely interior. Fresh. Clean. Stylish."
"Just had a wee visit to Christies and we were treated so well we just wanted to thank you for your
hospitality."
Price and Value
Pros:
"We went for a birthday dinner, 4 adults and a kid, with a bottle of wine, water, some more drinks, a burger for our son and 12 tapas we pay like £20 per person, which I strongly believe is amazing for the quality of the food and the service."
"Christies is a Scottish tapas in Dunfermline. Good selection of food, and all inclusive for those on a tighter budget with a 3 for £12 on certain nights."
"Prices were fair. The waitress was brilliant about walking us through the menu and answering any questions we had."
"Good quality food although we booked based on the menu that was advertised at the time but when we arrived they had changed to the Christmas menu which was not as good."
"Really enjoyed this for a change from the likes of nandos and pizza hut, the food was lovely the braised beef, the haggis Bon bons, fish and chips all amazing."
"Visited today as a group of five, so we ended up trying a fair bit of the menu, and loved every single tapa. Worked out at £20 each for the equivalent of three tapas and a drink each, which we thought was really reasonable for the quality of the food."
"Love this Restaurant, without doubt the best place to eat in Dunfermline. Food is excellent."
"The food is fantastic - quality and presentation that you would expect from a restaurant charging twice the price."
Cons:
"The big yin meals fish and steak burger were awful, the children's cheese pasta was tasteless and mush. The hoose chipes were warm and soft, not good."
"The food was ok. It is very bland and requires seasoning, a lot of. Service was erm a bit like faulty towers."
"Not very impressed. The pink chicken in peppercorn sauce had no taste, certainly not of peppercorn."
"Over priced drinks and food. Wouldn't go back sadly."
"Good looking place, somewhat out of place in the leisure park which is basically a car park. Staff were nice. The food was a bit of a let down though, sounded good on the menu, but lacked flavour and felt like a lot of it was pre cooked and reheated."
"The food that was undercooked was highlighted and left but we were still charged for the dish."
"Was so looking forward to it as well. We ordered 6 tapas dishes and a side portion of truffle and parmesan fries. The fries had to be sent back twice and we ended up having removed from the bill."
"As for the main tapas dishes, they were all smaller than I’ve had at other tapas restaurants."
