We ordered lunch special for mussels @ 10 pounds each. Delicious and good potions for price. Would…read moredefinitely eat here again. Server was friendly and attentive.

When my better half wants something she usually gets it. Since we were going to Glasgow Scotland…read moreshe insisted that we go to dinner at The Finnieston Sea food and Pub. It is not located in the hip touristy area next to Planet Hollywood. It is a small unassuming pub in a working class neighborhood. We walked from Glasgow University (looks like Hogwarts) which turned out to be a longer walk than Google made it seem. It was cold and drizzly just like Scotland should be so when we got there we were ready. We didn't have reservations but they were extremely nice and sat us down. This is a Pub. Just what you are picturing in your head right now. Dark, lots of dark wood, old crumbling bricks. I love this decor. We started with a couple of appetizers I ordered the Salmon Tartar and my wife ordered the smoked duck breast. I ordered a cold pint my wife had a glass of white wine. We decided to also have a half dozen local oysters. The waitress asked if we were expecting someone else. I guess 3 appetizers is not normal for 2. We were just getting started. Once we demolished all 3 appetizers I followed up with the Pan Seared Gigha Halibut my wife had the steamed Shetland Mussels. What a treat. All the seafood is local and very fresh. All of our dishes from beginning to end were tops. A truly historic dining experience from a historic eatery. In Glasgow then GO...... to The Finnieston. See what I did there. BTW we also had dessert.

Service was horrendous. Came in at 5:45 on a Wednesday when the place was largely empty. Four…read morefemales employees stood at the bar gabbing and ignoring our presence. Even making eye contact couldn't interrupt their conversation. The server came over (legitimately after a full 15 minutes of sitting there) and when we asked for recommendations she said "let me ask my supervisor". The employee couldn't even recommend a single drink. Unbelievable. When the server asked her supervisor for a recommendation the supervisor had the gal to role her eyes and say "did they look at a menu?" It took another 15 minutes to get our drinks and I watched them sit at the service well while our server chit chatted some more. Bottom line, don't waste your time here. The owner should be ashamed of his employees.

I actually really like this place, not sure why it gets such a bad press. Been in for drinks on…read moreseveral occasions and always had a good evening. Its not over crowded and its not one of those places you can't hear yourself think let alone have a chat. They do a great selection of cocktails. My only disappointment would be their lack of choice in cider, its a bottle of Magners and thats your lot. Its a very stylish bar in comparison to what it was years ago when I remember it in my student days as Studio One (Jingz! thats showing my age!!!) What a monumental improvement! I'm with Gavin M on this one... YAY!!! I'm a Fan!

We first came here five years ago (was it really that long?) when it was still 'An Lochan'. I heard…read morea rumour that they changed the name because people kept asking them who 'An' was... are people really that thick? It's changed a lot since then - physically there seem to be more tables than I remember, and the menu is now a single-page affair of broad-spectrum Scottish fare including meat dishes, whereas before it was a multi-page seafood-only extravaganza. I still fondly remember the shared seafood platter... mmmmm. However, although the menu may have downsized, the quality is still as high as ever. I started with crab spring rolls with a chilli jam dip, which were light and very tasty, followed by a Thai-style seafood medley in coconut sauce, which managed to carry a fair degree of kick without overwhelming the delicate flavours of the fish. Delicious. Herself had scallops to start, which were really fresh and cooked to perfection, and followed this with the lemon sole with salmon mousse. I had been tempted by this, but when it arrived I was quite glad I hadn't picked it as it looked a bit too creamy for my taste. Yet it disappeared without trace so clearly was appreciated! We were both hungry enough to manage a dessert - Herself had a kiwi and mango pavlova that seemed absolutely huge; I went for an intriguing coffee jelly in brandy snap basket with caramel sauce, although I declined the clotted cream option. I wasn't sure about the coffee jelly as it was a very different taste, but maybe it would grow on me over time. Overall, a fantastic meal; good portions, superb presentation, perfectly cooked and generally scrumptious all round. Although it was pretty full when we arrived for the early evening shift, the staff were attentive and helpful at explaining everything on the menu (to my disappointment, it turned out that a 'financier' on the dessert menu had nothing to do with accountants). The chairs are sumptuous and comfortable, although some could do with replacing as the seats are getting a bit on the saggy side; luckily cushions had been provided for those that were a bit too far gone. Oh - and there's a giant pink and yellow raffia giraffe called Felicity in the gent's loo... I have no idea why, but it's quirky and I like it.

We had a fantastic time today! We loved the Cullen skink. Very soupy. The salmon with bread was…read moregood too. The chicken and chips were amazing. Juicy chicken and nice kale and chips too. Sticky toffee pudding was great too.
