    One of the worst pizzas I've had in my entire life. Cookie dough was heavier than expected though. Decent amount of chocolate.

    Probably among some of the worst food I've ever eaten…read more My friends and I went here for brunch and were faced with some highly inedible substances :/ The beverages are ok, usually, but the food always falls short. I've noticed a sharp decline in quality over the past 3 - 6 months, where their chilli recipe which used to be amazing, is now akin to something out a tin. Bleuuurgh. I've also been "lucky" enough to sample soggy rolls, cheese that smelt so disgusting I couldnt eat it, and a burger so burnt I couldnt tell what it was supposed to be. The staff seem incapable of handling customer complaints, preferring to talk amongst themselves and ignore direct requests for assistance when things go bad (which they have been for a while) rather than sort out what could have been a minor complaint. I was ignored for 20 minutes, even when they cleared my still full plates from the table, they still refused to look me in the eye and acknowledge something was up. I had to stand at the bar a further 10, where I STILL wasnt asked if everything was ok with my meal, and by that point I was furious. People skills a serious all time low. This place has so much potential. It would be a shame to carry on in its bad ways. Man up Tonic! Get yer finger out and give us some proper quality food.

    They may have been decent before the lockdowns, but they could not care about you as a customer and…read morethe place being completely empty at 7pm is for good reason. We went there tonight for my wife's birthday and we were treated horribly from start to finish. I would never go here again and would highly recommend that anyone thinking of going here goes elsewhere. My wife's steak was hard. Yes, hard. It didn't come with the sides stated on the menu. For the price of £29, it sure tasted like last year's frozen beef and was cooked dry. The burger was "meh" at best. The food was cold and my guess is that the poor service is why the steak was hard and the burger soggy and cold. Let me add that the place was empty, so there was no excuse for the poor service We had to chase down the waitress, the older and blonde lady working there tonight on the 8th of June, to get pay our bill. We were completely ready to leave and when we got the bill she dropped it and walked away. I had my wallet in my hand and nothing left on the table. We yelled after her to come back and she never did. We had to get the younger chap in the place to come with a card reader to pay so we could leave. How unbelievably RUDE. JUST SAY NO! GO ELSEWHERE!

    Really nice place with well cooked food…read more Despite its location a bit away from the city centre, it's definitely a place that worth a visit. Not particularly expensive (in the £10 range) with a good variety in the menu.

    I'd like to update my review on Papa Joes, as I think the service and food has changed dramatically…read morein the past year. I went here last night for some dinner with the hubby and can safely say I wont be going back. We both had nachos, mine had chilli beef. Hubby's was fine, but sadly what usually is lovely, soft pieces of beef, was hard, grisly and inedible. When informed of my dissatisfaction, the waitress pretty much went "meh, ok" and took it away with word of an apology or replacement offered. The main courses of vegetable burrito and blackened chicken were equally hard to stomach. I think I managed one bite of mine before I reached for my coat and got the hell out of there. The herby sauce that covered the chicken did not go with the spices on the chicken at all. It left a really odd taste in the mouth afterwards too. The burrito had a really cloying, overpowering sauce with it too and wasnt the nicest. Im really sad that Papa Joes has went downhill so quickly. This used to be one of our favourite places to chill and have some not bad cuisine. It was never an amazing place to go, never blew me away, but I knew I could get some half decent grub. Now, its not even delivering that. Sadly, even the service from the waiting staff could not pick up the quality of the food as they seemed less than interested in giving a good quality of customer service. A very poor show altogether.

We were seated and given a lovely bread board with so-so bread, butter patties and no bread plates. Where shall I put my bread? On the table that they just wiped with disinfectant, or on my service paper napkin, since there is no bread plate. A refill of bread was presented with no more butter. Our set menu was two types of soup (potato leek and Cullen sink. Main choices were chicken pie, roasted BEET, and venison sausage. The mini portion of soup was good, then the mains came out. First off the mains were served on dessert plates. Those who ordered chicken pie received what would be a $2 sausage roll with some sauce veloute and two tablespoons of chicken. I changed my order to sausage, and was told 15 minutes, please. The venison sausage served atop whipped potatoes were good. Then the dessert, the piece de resistance. Either sticky toffee pudding /cake or raspberries, whisky ice cream. The sticky was a cake mix from the shelf. There was no ice cream but a scoop of whipped cream with two When asked where's the whisky ice cream they said "oh golly" perhaps the cook forgot to put it on the plate. So they brought out mini bowls that wouldn't fill an ice cream cone, with standard vanilla ice cream. Service was fine for a tour type dinner. They are severely understaffed. At the end of every adventure, I ask myself "would I return". ? They could not pay me to eat there again, although I would happily employ the barman's services regularly

    Talk about a diamond in the rough! What a gem! We were in Dundee on a Weds in Sept. for a day and…read moredecided to go to Broughty Castle towards the end of the day. After our castle tour, we looked for a local place to have dinner before driving back to Dunkeld. Forgan's was such a wonderful surprise. Our party had the lemon and herb Chicken along with the Shepard's pie. My wife and I both agree it was excellent. The lamb based pie was one of the best I've ever had. We had the Haggis appetizer and topped it all off with a pint of Forgan's own brew. Dessert was toffee pudding and the chocolate mousse. All very good. The ambiance is sophisticated and beautifully decorated. Service was very nice but bit slow. However, should one be in a hurry when on vacation? Be careful, the restaurant is large but its front end is small so you could easily drive/walk by and not see it. Definitely would recommend Forgan's to anyone visiting the nearby castle, beach, or Dundee.
