What People Say

Guests rave about the high quality of the ingredients and the creative twists on traditional Scottish dishes. The venison, scallops, and haggis bon bons regularly get shoutouts from reviewers, as does the welcoming atmosphere. Many diners mention the friendly and knowledgeable staff who are happy to recommend dishes or wine pairings. The set menus are also popular for offering value without compromising on flavor.

Areas for Improvement

While most reviews are glowing, a few mention that the location is a bit out of the way if you're on foot from central Glasgow.
