I came here a few years ago and enjoyed the dinner. On Wednesday night I was entertaining three very important suppliers to my company, reputed to be the best beef in Scotland.
Well I can hardly disagree with that! There was a good welcome and the menu and different types of steaks explained to us, whilst we has G & T's.
There was an interesting choice of starters, in particular one of my guest raved about the Scallops. I settled for a stilton and broccoli soup. The steaks selected were three of us Rib eye and one Sirloin, all cooked on a charcoal grill exactly as we ordered, absolutely delicious. We had two nice wines , a St Veran with starters, and Chateau Cissac with the steaks. Two of us managed some strawberries afterwards, and we all had coffee.
Service from the waiters, and sommelier was polite and efficient.
As good a meal as I have had for sometime.
Now hold on to your seats, the bill was £400. ! Way over the top, even though it was a company funded dinner. The steaks typically are £40 a throw, and vegetables all charged extra. The two wines were together £76 , and with the pre drinks,coffee, and a service charge (which was added without prior consultation , but described as 'optional', well there you have it.
I was fully expecting to spend maybe £300 that evening but not £400.
I am awarding 4 stars, because whilst the food and service warranted 5 stars, its is possible to get (not too far away from here) as good quality food for a lower price. I am thinking of Peat Inn in Fife, though I havent been recently.
But I will be back !
