Had booked a table at Mharsanta in Glasgow for dinner with my wife prior to meeting friends for a night at the Blackfriars Comedy Club next door. This was our first visit to this restaurant and pleasantly surprised with service and quality of food. We arrived about 20mins early for our booking, hoping we could just have drink at the bar and Floor Manager (?) moved our table and sorted us with a booth straight away. At Christmas time had a choice of Christmas Menu (three course £38.50) or choice of extensive A La Care Menu (which was not much more for my three course choice). Service was prompt and attentive and we were both happy with our meal choices. We would certainly have no hesitation in returning to this restaurant in future.

Great night. However ordered a bottle of wine and 10 minutes later was told they need the table back. Questioned why they allowed us to order wine and response was that we should have drunk it faster!

A little bit of a let down, I was expecting some nice Scottish cousine but was instead very let down by the quality, flavour and creativeness of the dishes. I really feel like the food is made by kitchen style chefs, where food is pre-prepared and then heated and sold at a massive markup. I wouldn't have an issue with this but the food itself was honestly a let down. In addition the service seemed like they were rushing you out the door. I understand needing to keep up turn over, but to have a full 3 course meal in 50 minutes is a little excessive. wouldn't return nor recommend.
