  “Midweek lunchtime there’s a choice of either dining at the Brasserie or selecting a couple of small plates from the bar (both upstairs). There’s a good choice of craft ales but alas no cask ales anymore. The excellent bar staff will assist if in doubt as what to order. Call in - you’ll enjoy your visit.”

  “We visited for the taster menu, one meat & one vegetarian. We booked based on the menu on the website and unfortunately, that was not the menu we got on the night. Nothing on the website suggests the menu is a sample menu. Such a shame as the dishes on that menu were what made us book in the first place! We stayed anyway as we were only visiting glasgow for the day and didn't have time to find somewhere else. The food was very nice but portions were incredibly small. We've not had a taster menu meal before so not sure if this is typical, but at £80 each and for 8 courses, I didn't expect to leave still hungry. Some of the things served were different to the printed menu we had as well ( I got soda bread but menu said sourdough, vegetarian courgette dish was supposed to have fermented grains but had a minted pea and bean topping instead. etc) For the price, we felt a little bit disappointed to be honest. Cutlery covered in water marks, no spoon given with consomé, the butter with the vegetarian first course was rock solid and impossible to spread. I appreciate these are all small things, but when you pay £200 for a 2 person meal, details really matter and add to the overall experience. The staff serving us were friendly and knowledgeable.”

  “First time visitor to this well known institution but to be honest it was a pretty average experience at best. We got off to a bad start as they couldnt trace our booking and had gotten the date wrong, but luckily we were accomodated on spec as we had travelled through from Perth. We dined upstairs in the Brasserie which has a rustic wood and botanical theme with pretty fairy lights and a nice view. Be warned. The small plates at approx £15 each are extremely small. The two small pieces of venison kofta were very tasty and rich with a lovely mint sauce but it strangely came without pitta or bread or salad and was very small despite the £15 price. I ordered fish tacos to add to those but they were also tiny, dry, tasteless and the tortillas were chewy, they did not seem fresh. We"d had trouble finding anything interesting on the vegan menu for my friend despite the servers best attempts to accommodate us so I didnt want to add to the experience and return the tacos. We had asked at time of booking and they confirmed they had vegan options so booked accordingly but when we looked at the menu it was mainly a choice of tatties, chips, carrot salad and vegan haggis or bread, hardly inspiring for the reputation and price. With a little more imagination it would have been simple to make a nice tofu or a decent veg or mushroom dish sourced locally maintaining the Scottish produce menu theme. The brasserie was very nice but the food is so underwhelming and overpriced for what you get it does feel like the restaurant is somewhat resting on its reputation but failing to live up to it. I do appreciate times are tough for the hospitality trade but the term style over substance springs to mind and we are not really motivated to make a return visit.”

  “We have been wanting to try Ubiquitous Chip for so long and it did not dissappoint. Few things to note: They have the Brasserie upstairs and the Restaurant section downstairs. Restaurant is a bit more fine dining style with higher prices whereas upstairs is more like experimental small plates. On sundays Brasserie has a Sunday Roast menu. So if you are wanting to try the usual Brasserie menu or not feeling like roast, make sure to go another day! We had the sunday roast, 2-course for £35. I had an amazing tomato salad for starters and lamb roast for main. Everything was delicious and the portions were quite big. Service and the ambiance were all great. I would have liked a bigger cocktail menu from the bar but there were a few specials available. I would totally recommend a visit but make sure you book for the right space and the right menu!”

  “Small plates restaurant, so perfect if you like to share. this does mean some of the portions are on the smaller side but honestly just gives you more room to try other things. there are many different flavour combinations which kept things interesting and fresh, definitely a place to check out!”

  “Started out with bottle on the rooftop with champagne B4 dinner. We then sat down in great indoor/ outdoor dining with spectacular food and service. I must say whilst travelling we have certainly nailed some top restaurants through other reviews and recommendations on this Google site along with trip advisor. Had an absolute amazing experience.”

  “Food was amazing, I really loved it, and the atmosphere was nice too. But the portions are seriously small—like really small. You’ll probably still be hungry after and end up going somewhere else (we literally felt like getting fish and chips after). On top of that, the prices are way too high for what you get. Great food, but portion size and pricing need fixing.”

  “Excellent food, very slow service. We were there for the tasting menu on Valentine's Day, and after the starter and main courses, which were fantastic, it became very clear the waiting staff had forgotten about us. It took close to 30 minutes for the sorbet to be served, and that was only after I flagged someone down and asked for the next course. I don't know what happened, because the service had been pretty good until that point, but then after a certain time, the waiting staff seemed noticeably less friendly and attentive. We arrived at 6:15pm and ended up cutting the meal short and leaving at 10pm, which I feel is a long time, even for a tasting menu. I also had to ask for the bill twice. It's a shame because the meal was honestly on its way to being a 10/10 experience until the service fell off hard. Although it was Valentine's Day, the restaurant was far from being full, so I wonder if something happened behind the scenes to affect the service. We'd heard great things about Ubiquitous Chip and were so looking forward to trying it, but I very much doubt we'll be back after this.”

  “Visited the bar area mid afternoon on a cold January day. Had some bar snacks and a drink. Food was great. The bar man was very knowledgeable about the different wines on offer. It was very relaxed and comfortable. There was a real fire in the grate which added to the atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.”
