    Good little local pub, we just went in for a couple of pints. Bartender was nice and the pints were good.

    Sometimes, one or two employees are the weakest links that destroy a team's effort to provide an…read moreotherwise fine dining experience. That was the case here, as two young women seemed to split the service for our group of five. Neither one seemed to feel any responsibility for our table, or to be interested in actually serving. Just ordering water was a chore. There were mistakes in the drinks and food order, eventually rectified. But they saved the worst for the end. We told each in unmistakable terms that we would like to box/wrap approximately half of three meals so that we could enjoy desserts. Later, after the food taken away failed to re-appear, we were told, "There's been a bit of a mix-up." All the food had been thrown away. I feel badly for saying so, because the food was excellent and the venue a pleasant one. But this was the most lackadaisical service we received in five weeks of European travel.

    We were staying at the nearby Invernairne Hotel (highly recommend), and our hosts suggested…read moreBandstand for a walkably close supper. Very friendly server, beautiful views and a good overall vibe. The food was very good, especially the steak and ale pie. We were a bit travel-weary at this point, and Bandstand was a perfect spot to have a relaxing, low-key meal and bracing drinks while enjoying views of the water. Pay them a visit!

    We stopped here for lunch while we were whiskey tasting in the area. Service was excellent,…read morebeautiful park just outside. We tried the gnocchi, mussels, steak and chicken parm pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meal except me. The chicken was good but the pasta was bland. The mac and cheese was kind of bland as well which is surprising. Its a very nice bar restaurant. Big selection of whiskeys and they have a really cool cigar and whiskey room.

    Like many of the eateries we're trying on this trip, we came across Mash Tun online. I was excited…read moreto try the venison pie. According to my husband it was less gamey than what he's used to, likely due to the domestic farming of the deer and every other time he's had venison it's been wild. So if you're not into gamey meats, but curious to try venison, this could be a great option for you. We ordered a few cocktails and a glass of wine during dinner, but we've noticed a trend. It takes a long time to get drinks out here in the country and I'm not sure why. There were 3 waitstaff for the 7 tables and while the food came out like clockwork, drinks were slow to come by. We got our first set of drinks before dinner and were able to sip them during our meal. I was really excited about dessert and we ordered the cranacan and the sticky toffee pudding. My husband ordered an old fashioned and I ordered a glass of wine, but they weren't delivered until well after dessert was concluded. We even considered canceling the final drink order until our server informed us that the drinks were being made just then, and yet we still had to wait another 10 minutes before we got the drinks. In total we waited about 30 minutes for the 2nd round of drinks and by then we just wanted to leave. The restaurant itself is quaint and cozy with a nice loca feel. And once again, be sure to set a reservation in advance.
