The meat is outstanding, as is the service. The doneness of the meat is also very good. Just note that if you want rare to be really clear about that. We needed to send our steak back as it was over, which they did without any fuzz. What came back was absolutely perfect. I come here every time I visit Glasgow and will continue to do so.
