Second visit here did not disappoint. We had the set meal Sunday Roast and it was fantastic. The meat was soft and succulent and all the sides were perfect, felt like a real meal from home. The wine is great value, exceptional for Glasgow, and the Deserts finished the meal off perfectly. Lovely atmosphere and surroundings, we love the Scottish theme. A quick shout out to the friendly and competent staff who were on point with everything. We will be back soon, Many Thanks.

Mixed bag - really good service, reasonable food at reasonable prices (lunch). But the place is empty! No atmosphere - not sure what needs to change, but something does to bring people through the door. Shame, because staff are great and the interior is lovely.
