I didn't find it overpriced and portions were well sized. There were quite a few options for vegetarians which is always a good things for me. I had the stuffed pumpkin with lentil Dahl, served on rice which was supposed to be coriander rice but it was just plain basmati. The greens garnishing on top of my pumpkin were a bit off and I just put it aside. Overall my dish was nice. My husband asked lamb with cheddar cottage pie and veggies. He said it was quite nice too. I'm planning on coming back to try their other dishes as they all sound interesting.

Dinner starts at 5pm and even though we showed up early, they let us order. It was excellent. Clean, football on the TV, great selection of beer, excellent service and great menu selection.

The only thing I would do differently is stay at their hotel also, have a few more Guinness & shot some pool!

Tip: the peanut butter and chocolate lava cake was so WARM and comes with a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream! SO. GOOD.

Decor was modern and classy in the brasserie, while upscale and relaxed in the lounge. Both areas uses the same kitchen but have slightly different menus. We dined in both areas a few times during our stay. Brasserie is perfect for a special night. Servers were used interchangeably between both restaurants and were profesional and accommodating. Everything was made with care and with local ingredients. So the flavors were outstanding. Must order dishes are: Fish and chips ($18) - huge flakey piece of haddock perfectly fried to perfection with a light exterior crunch. We had a lot (10+ spots) of fish and chips around Scotland. And without a doubt this was the best. Usually fried items make me feel a bit heavy, but this was not the case here. Served with homemade tartar sauce, chippys and peas. Solid side dishes, but the star was the fish. The fish and chips is worth a trip of its own. Seared sea bass ($20) - a decent sized fillet with couscous and broccolini. The restaurant knows how to cook fish. And it really shows in this dish. Accompaniments were solid too. Especially the couscous. Carrot cake ($3.50) - moist, fluffy, carroty, with lots of walnuts scattered throughout, and a huge pile of cream cheese frosting. Not too sweet lol most English desserts. Gingerbread pudding ($8) - warm yet moist cake with strong gingery undertones. Every component was well executed and works so well together. The warm cake with the house made vanilla ice cream all topped with their rum toffee sauce. I'm dreaming about the day I come back for this. if u could get anything here, this dish would be the one to get!

I wanted steak but had had lunch late so I went lighter. Everyone else at my table ordered steak. I'm glad I didn't, my friend got the sirloin steak and when I saw it I couldn't believe how thin it was for the price! It was ($44) and maybe 1/2" thick!! They said it tasted really good but visually no. We had ordered bread for the table but it didn't come out till after our meal and it was just 2 slices of sourdough bread, cold (3.50)!! I thought very over priced for what you got, dessert menu, expensive too. I think I would recommend going into town. Service was ok, no one came and asked how everything was either.

No problem, that's on me, even though the hours published on their website don't list the kitchen closing during any certain times and their hours went until much, much later. Still, no real complaint; just the way it is. Fast forward to Sunday. I won't get caught short again; I have a foolproof plan. I'll call ahead. The discourteous person on the other end of the phone explains to me that their kitchen hours are 1115a to 730p. Thanks, we will see you before long then. We arrive just prior to 3pm and the same person I spoke to on the phone informs me that they simply have nothing available; reservations required. Now, this isn't posted on their website, but I understand that since it's Easter Sunday, they may have temporary rules for that. But how about this? TELL ME THAT ON THE PHONE WHEN I CALL AND ASK ABOUT TODAY'S KITCHEN HOURS!!! My bottom line in this place is that they may have great food, but I suspect that they just aren't tourist friendly. We will not give them a third opportunity and if you're here for leisure, I'd recommend that you avoid this place as well. Unless you draft an airtight questionnaire determining when they will deign to allow you to be seated for dinner. And maybe the hostess/phone person should be picked for her abilities to communicate in a friendly, approachable manner.
