We also shared a giant endless pot of tea. This place is really a special place, the day's menu is full of charm, and the service is excellent. When I was there, the dining area was quiet with plenty of available seating, definitely not a cramped place! I hope to return sometime, it was a great experience, food and all. I liked it so much I picked up a couple of their shirts to keep the memory.

I don't normally buy 1/2 pints of Strongbow but it was a very cheap £1.50 something which I was very impressed with ... maybe that's a standard price? Who knows. We came back looking for some dessert and while the seating area was nearly full, they stretched us over two tables which was nice. I ordered the apple tart (£4) and the waitress was amazing at keeping us informed in how long it would take for food to arrive as they were pretty busy. The tart was super tasty and I really liked it, although I only ate the filling. The decor is lovely - similar to the Butterfly and the Pig in a shabby chic kind of way, and it really works well in the dining area. I do feel like that lovely atmosphere is a little lost in the rest of the bar but perhaps that will come with time.

The atmosphere was welcoming and warm, the rugby was on the telly, and it was moderately busy; always a good sign. My only slight gripe is that it cost the better part of ten squids for two pints of Blue Moon. Having said that, as Briony C. also pointed out, they have many half pints at £1.50 which is really good value. I saw a few people ordering and receiving food while we were in, and although I can't comment on tastes, the food looks very delectable and it smelled divine. It was also great value for money also; I don't think any of the mains cost more than a tenner. I'll be back Duchess...

And I did. After a night of touring local pubs, I ended up at Mharsanta for this wild pasta dish. And I'll say: devouring a plate of this is both a commitment and a pleasure. And after a small twist of the arm, I ended up having three more drinks than planned. They've got a full bar. Take that as you will. Thanks Olivia (x2), Liam, and Halima for putting up with me.

We had reserved the private dining room downstairs, and had a dedicated bartender, who got us started with drinks. I tried a range of the peaty Islay whiskies, such as the Laphroaig 10, Lagavulin 8, and Lagavulin 16 - which smelled the peatiest but was surprisingly smooth. Once we were seated, we ordered a variety of starters. I tried the crispy fried calamari, hand diced king scallops, Stornoway black pudding croquettes, and Haggis Scotch Egg (my favorite), and then ordered the haggis carbonara (in honor of my Italian friend and colleague Adriano) as my main course. This was an inspired choice as I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though Adriano disapproved as they didn't make it "right!" Nobody else except me wanted dessert - I was curious about the traditional Cranachan (Scottish raspberries, whisky, cream and oats) - which looked delightful, but was more cloying than light and airy. Overall, a memorable experience, partly because of the drink and food, but mostly because I enjoyed the company of colleagues who are quickly becoming friends.

Looks very sophisticated and classy inside. There was an extensive bar and their drinks were really good. Service was pretty quick, and they were very attentive. We ordered Iberico croquettes that were good (of course not as good as Spain). Crust was flavorful and heavy on the cream to jamon ratio. Jamon Iberico was good, sourdough of course is not authentic to the Spanish cuisine, but it was still tasty bread. We ordered the Galician sirloin and it was really good. If you are a real steak lover, probably go for their prime rib. I like my steak a little less fatty. Their cheesy cauliflower was rich and tasty and their tomato salad was just whatever, but it was good tomatoes. This was still one of my better meals here in Scotland.

Waiter spent a great deal of time talking to us just as if we known him for a long time it was great. the level of friendliness and hospitality was very impressive. The menu is very nice and not expensive at all. TRUFFLED BRIOCHE- The dish is amazing even though I did not taste any truffle but there was a entire truffle mushroom itself there, the plate they presented it in was annoying to rest the silverware, was a bowl type of plate and the fork kept falling in lol GOLDEN BREEZE- the drink was suggested by our waiter and it was amazing cudos to him! GNOCCHI- WHAT an unfortunate plate. This was to me not a gnocchi.i love the fact that our waited noticed and made sure to ask me if everything was ok with my choice, that shows that the staff cares about customer service. The gnocchi was blend and tasteless it to me was more of a polenta and not a gnocchi it was cooked pan fried and not like a past should so it was not a great plate definitely not a gnocchi. I would definitely recommend the place, not the gnocchi but the place was pretty nice. come and have a try!

They didn't bring me a spoon with my soup so I had to flag someone down to get one. Not a huge deal but you tend to expect more from a place like this.

I had the steak. The steak has a good taste but I ordered hollandaise sauce as my sauce and I wish I would not have poured it on my steak because it wasn't very good. The sauce just really lacked flavor. So, overall it was ok. Not the worst meal I've had but not the best either. I would go back I just wouldn't order the hollandaise sauce.

Located at a corner, there are also a large number of tables outside. On an evening with agreeable weather, they were all occupied. The menu is designed as a sharing menu with a wide variety of choices-vege, fish and meat. And the size of the offerrings range from snack to a dish that is large enough for one person to enjoy as a full meal. We chose the trout, crab salad, spiced cauliflower (really good), sea bream (delish), and crispy haddock (nice). I chose the salt baked beatroot for my dessert-flavorful and not too sweet. My wife had the chocolate cremeux that she really loved. Our server was such a friendly person and her way of communicating definitely added good feelings to our experience. It was graduation time for the University of Glasgow and we saw many families with their students. For me, that's a really good sign. I highly recommend this restaurant.
