  “Outside seating was lovely however inside was very cold and dark with no fire on. We ordered the triple roast, the meat was delicious however disappointed to not get any roast potatoes and when paying £24 for a roast dinner I would expect homemade Yorkshire puddings not frozen ones. Overall the restaurant is in a good location and the food was tasty enough, albeit a bit expensive for what you got.”

  “VEGAN - Lentil Cottage Pie was delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service. I had dinner, without a booking and sat at the bar tables. Highly recommend.”

  “The food here is great, especially the slow-cooked beef shin, which was delicious and perfectly tender. The staff members were also very friendly and polite. However, the service speed was incredibly slow. We waited 20 minutes just to place our order, and another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. In the end, because I had a train to catch, I couldn't afford to wait for a server and had to walk up to the kiosk myself just to settle the bill. It seems extremely understaffed during peak weekend hours.”

  “I had the slow-cooked beef shin and it was absolutely delicious. Fall off the bone tender and flavorful with a healthy serving of mashed potatoes, broccolini, and carrots. While half the restaurant was reserved for a wedding, service was lovely. Bathrooms are also clean and plentiful. Would recommend.”

  “I visited Balloch on a Saturday afternoon for a nice day out and a dog walk. A strolling pace to the Castle from the train station is about an hour all around. We stopped in here for a late lunch. The greeting at the door was friendly and we were shown to a table I the dog friendly area. The restaurant was very busy and has a lot of tables to cover. The service was a bit slow because of that. I ordered a lower calorie option of kebab with pita and tzatziki and hummus. It was delicious and didn’t disappoint on flavours. For £20 I would have been happier with a bit more green salad and more of the dips. Just a smidgeon more I’d say. My wife had the special pie of the day and it was lovely. She had a zero beer and I had a large glass of absolutely delicious French rose. Total bill was about £60 I think. A lot for lunch but pretty delicious. I’d definitely go again as there are lots of tasty options on the menu. It’s very central and handy for the station.”

  “Cute restaurant near the river. We had the soup I'd the day (spicy carrot), Sunday Trio Roast, and the pie of the day (ham and leek). All of it was very delicious.”

  “We ordered the signature burger and the pulled beef pizza, honestly, the pizza was the best we’ve ever had. The burger was huge and absolutely delicious, served with tasty gherkins on the side and crispy fries. The view was brilliant, and the service made the whole experience even better, such friendly, welcoming people. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. Highly recommend!!!”

  “Usually reviews are hard to judge. Let me be explicit - this was the best roast I've had out. The beef was pink, the gravy interesting and rich, and the rest if the food impeccable. The roast potatoes could have been crispier, but that's only because I'm finding something to criticise!”

  “We had an amazing dinner today, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. I went for the Hunter's Chicken Schnitzel with a side of halloumi fries, while my wife chose the signature burger both dishes were absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. The atmosphere in the restaurant is exactly what you’d want for a relaxing evening out warm, welcoming, and cozy. It felt inviting the moment we walked in, and it made our meal all the more enjoyable. The staff were fantastic too really friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. They made us feel well looked after throughout our visit. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food in a cozy setting with excellent service.”
