We dined here on the pre-theatre menu on a really busy Friday night - this place has definitely…read morebecome really popular with the locals since opening a few months ago! The pre-theatre is just £10.95 for two courses which is pretty reasonable. I tried a starter of crispy chicken (pollo fritto) and then the pasta of the day as the main. There was a bit of confusion about what the pasta of the day actually was, as the waitress told us the daily specials, and then we were corrected and told these weren't available on the pre-theatre. Food arrived quickly and I can't say the appearance of the chicken impressed me - it was a thick batter as you can see from the photo, and didn't really look all that appealing. It was served with a dipping sauce which it definitely needed as it was lacking flavour otherwise, and was a little tough. The main was better - it was a creamy tomato pasta with chicken and mushroom. Overall I liked the flavour and the portion was huge. Strangely there was bite sized pieces of chicken throughout, and then a couple of really big bits which needed chopping up. I skipped dessert as there was only two options on the pre-theatre and I didn't fancy either of them. I tried a little bit of the baked cheesecake and it was too heavy for my liking and needed more of a sauce/topping (it had a berry on it) so I was glad I hadn't ordered it. We were seated right by the door as well, and this was a little annoying when people were coming and going through the restaurant. At one point there was a group of 8 people standing right by our table in the doorway and letting the cold air in. Of course this isn't the restaurant's fault as it's a small space but they obviously had to leave them waiting while they got their table ready. Overall, I was a little disappointed with the meal here - perhaps the a la carte menu is better but I always like to judge somewhere by the quality of the pre theatre, and I have to say it was lacking on this visit.

A very family friendly Italian restaurant with an easy to navigate menu (some Italian places have a…read more20 page menu with multiple variations on each dish, gets a bit overwhelming) and tasty food. From the outside it looks a little more formal than it actually is, staff were superb and several table had kids so made for a much more relaxed atmosphere than we were expecting We had a few starters to share, Calamari, stuffed Rice Balls and Dough Sticks - all three of these are really easy to do badly but all three were excellent. Calamari was lightly battered, golden and not at all chewy, Rice Balls were perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned, Dough Sticks were hand made and "rustic" and not at all stodgy. Main courses were all excellent too, it's a good all round place with really nice staff and reasonable prices so we'll definitely be back.

Opening just last week, the Overlee opened where Clark & Sons (and the Rascasse before that) used…read moreto be. I don't know what happened to Clark & Sons, it seemed to close pretty quickly and then stayed closed while it got refitted to become part of the Belhaven group of pubs. On first impressions, I like what they've done with the decor and layout. There's still a separate bar area from the restaurant, and the dining spaces are more split up now so it doesn't feel like a huge big dining area. There's some nice chandeliers and decor on the walls which shows they've put quite a bit of effort into it. That's until you get to the menu. I'm not even sure it rates as standard pub grub - it is pretty uninspiring with options like buckets of wings, 13 different burger options (yes, 13) as well as standard mains and steaks. You can order certain mains at £10.99 for two, or they have two rump steaks and a bottle of wine for £19.99. I opted for a sirloin steak with garlic mushrooms (£12.70 all up). You need to order at the bar but they do have table service if you go to the bar to order drinks (which makes me wonder why they can't just do table service). I felt like we waited ages for our food, but there was a group of 6 of us and it was relatively busy for a Monday. It was probably at least a 30 minute wait, if not 45 minutes. My steak arrived with chips, tomato, peas and mushrooms but without the garlic mushrooms I'd ordered. They came separately in a bucket and were breaded, certainly not the garlic mushroom sauce I'd expected but the menu is pretty vague on that point. The chips were soft and mushy and bland and needed lots of seasoning. We were sharing a portion of onion rings which were also soft and bland. My steak was overcooked (I'd ordered medium rare, it was well done) and again - bland. I slathered on seasoning and sauce and got through it - the cut of steak was fine but I really don't enjoy my meat that well cooked! This pub is very family friendly. We were seated in an area with lots of kids, where the parents were letting them run around the restaurant and our table. There's loads of seating though so perhaps they could have a separate family-friendly area. There's a good selection of beers including Anchor Steam, Brooklyn Lager, Sam Adams, Twisted Thistle, BrewDog, Williams Bros and West. I really couldn't see that I'll return for the food, but I'd head back for a drink in the bar area.

It saddens me to downgrade a crap review to be even crappier. But I just don't like this place…read more I stand by every word of my previous review but thought I'd add the following.. It's good that Clarkson actually has a bar. It's good that it's really busy. It's good that it attracts a pretty diverse mix of customers. The nachos were great. The toilets are huge, and clean. It's clearly trying to be a sports bar, but designed around a living room. I don't like the lamps hanging from the ceiling, rather than standing up on the floor, or the doors embedded horizontally in the wall - anyone have a sledgehammer handy? The volume on the multitude of tv's was muted when we arrived. As soon as the football went on, it was blaring. You can't look anywhere without seeing a tv here. The beer has been hiked up in price almost a fiver for a point of St Mungo or a bottle of Punk IPA. I can't wait to not go back. Overlee, you are now a last resort. :(
