The host sat us in the most obscure corner , which we asked to change.. sure enough the next brown group that came in was sat there 2. Our main course was delayed 45 min.. this time the hostess server comes to us to apologize and asks if she could give us another drink because of our long wait... and then she proceeds to charge us for it 3. The food to boot was the worst we've had in Scotland Such a shame to leave this review Our waitress was a sweet lady who was all smiles and always trying to be helpful. But the 2 - the host and the manager server - had us infuriated The Saint should be renamed the Facist... If you are visiting st. andrew's, stay away... almost any other place you pick will be significantly better The Saint should address this ASAP... and deal with the Two people who have no business being in hospitality.

Tonight is the first night of graduation week in St. Andrews. Families are celebrating their graduates. They are looking for a memorable meal to mark the occasion. Having a negative experience can have the opposite effect. The Steak Barn provided just the underwhelming experience tonight. Fortunately five others in a seven person party enjoyed their food. The worst part of the meal was the flat iron steak. The cut was under done, even when I sent it back. The cut was chewy and tough, not what I expected from 20 gbp steak (~$30). Management needs to step in a control quality and provide more training to their young staff. Maybe they just had a bad night. It happens. Having a bad night on a special occasion is less forgivable.

Safe to say, the recommendation was a good one. The restaurant has a great upbeat atmosphere, and the main dining area is spacious and inviting. The back section feels a little more cramped and almost like an afterthought compared with the front, but overall it's a very nice place. Service was friendly and relaxed. One thing we've noticed while traveling around Scotland is that restaurants generally don't rush you in or out, and Forgan's was no different. You can actually sit, enjoy your meal, and take your time. We ordered a couple bowls of Cullen skink along with their chicken sandwich. Everything came out hot, fresh, and very tasty. The Cullen skink was excellent and absolutely worth the stop. If you're wandering around St. Andrews and find yourself hungry and in need of some replenishment, give Forgan's a try. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and very good food. You won't be disappointed! Bonus: If you read this far you are the real MVP! So here is my last tip, it does get busy so if you are going to go and it's around popular times you may want to reserve ahead of time!

First off, the view is spectacular. If you are going solely for the view then you will be delighted. We had a 6pm reservation. We showed up early and the gates were closed. There were people walking around who ignored us and also the other group waiting and so we waited... and waited... and waited at the entry. They opened the gates around 6pm and immediately disappeared back inside the restaurant, but continued to ignore us and not have anyone at the counter to welcome or seat anyone or even ask questions. At 6:08pm I approached a guy who finally walked out to the reception stand and said "we had a 6:00pm reservation and are wondering when they are going to seat us." He apologized and then blamed us for his staff ignoring us after both parties repeatedly said we each had a 6pm seating loud enough for anyone to hear and to every passerby. We were seated at a table near the window with an incredible view of the course. Not the best table, but a very good one. Not that it matters, but we were dressed like we had just come from a wedding, dressed in evening sports-coat, ascot and slacks, whereas the couple given the best table at the corner window so both could see the prized 18th fairway, were in blue jeans and t-shirts and looked like they had been walking all day. That's fine as we often do the same. My only point is it clearly was not their anniversary. We then ordered a drink, the oysters, she got a Caesar salad and I got the lobster ravioli starter, tben we both ordered the filet. She requested medium and I requested my usual medium-rare plus. Then appetizers came out, followed by the salad/ravioli. All looked great and tasted great. Service was a little slow, but not crazy. They then brought a venison tartar with some mushroom that is apparently given to everyone. It was tasty and nicely presented along with some fresh bread and butter. As we waited for the entre, my wife excused herself to the bathroom. As soon as she was gone, the waiter brought my entre only along with the sides we ordered (potatoes and mushrooms). He said he would bring her's when she came back. Honestly I was a little speechless they would bring mine when we both weren't seated. As a gentleman I was raised not to start eating without the lady seated as well so my food sat there until she arrived and they noticed her to bring her food over. Her steak looked like a perfect medium. Mine however looked like a perfect well done. That would be great had I not ordered medium-rare plus. This was medium-well plus. It took a few minutes to flag someone down and the male manager came back and acted surprised and said he would have to ask the chef's opinion. Has he never seen a medium rare steak before? It should be red, not fully brown. He came back several minutes later and said they could redo my steak, but it would be another 10 minutes... By now my sides are really getting cold as is her steak. It finally arrived and was medium plus, not medium rare. It was more well done than her medium. He asked me if it was fine and after cutting into a bite and then straight into the center of it, I said "it's medium plus, but it's better than before so sure I'll take it." I cut off about 1/3 of it as it was more medium well, but at the end of the day it was tender and it was already 2+ hours since we got there. After we finished, 15-20 minute later, we sat and we sat and we sat. I had my silverware indicating I was done and still waited. Another 5-7 minutes goes buy and I comment that I wonder if they are ever going to check on us. Admittedly it hasn't been the best experience and our drinks have been empty for 15 minutes. I then start looking around and because we're beyond ready to go, I get the assistant waiters eye and she comes over and clears the table. She was nice, but not all that attentive either. She was really sweet and has potential, but not well trained for such a high priced restaurant. She asks if we wanted any dessert or coffee or anything else and we declined as our clock has expired for this place. She then offers to give us time to enjoy the table and we ask for the check as we had hoped to walk the course while there was still some light. We pay and walk out. By the way, no acknowledgement EVER that it was our anniversary. Fortunately the evening or anniversary wasn't going to be made or broken based on their service or lack there of. I was warned about it lacking and sadly had to discover it myself.
