This review is for the eatery, Del Ametires that is located in the Powfoot hotel.
Our party of 3 made reservations for 3 on Saturday Evening at 7:30. We arrived at the location over looking the Solway Firth and made our way inside. We gave our name and were shown to a table that had such a delightful view of the Firth.
We looked at the menus, including the specials one, and chose our starters and mains. The Potato leeke soup that was offered up on the menu and some ham croquettes. When they came to the table, the soups were in these deep, elegant bowls and was absolutely scrumptious. The three little ham pockets were delivered in the most picturesque way, and tasted divine.
Our mains were just as fabulous. Two of us ordered the Burger, with Lockerbie cheddar, onion rings and a side of chips and coleslaw. The other of our party ordered the Chicken and Haggis pie with red cabbage. When the food was delivered they were all incredibly appetizing looking. Our burgers were big and juicy, nothing extra needed! The onion rings (4) were large and crispy, the batter so delectable. The chips were great! A nice hard fry on those made them perfect, but sadly the cole slaw was heavy on raw onion and I could not eat it. My friend loved her Haggis and chicken pie, it looked amazing but I was not brave enough to try it. Mea culpa.
The ambience and history of this location make it a worth while destination when you're visiting this area of the UK. read more
