  “Unfortunately, our experience at Tom Morris was incredibly disappointing because of the service. There were five of us dining for lunch, and from very early on, we all felt as though the staff simply did not want us there. What made it so unpleasant wasn’t necessarily what was said, but the attitude and manner in which we were treated. For example, I asked our waitress how heavily dressed the Caesar salad was, and she responded, “Well, it’s a heavy dressing,” in such a dismissive way that I was taken aback. Throughout the meal, there was very little eye contact or warmth, and even simple requests seemed to be met with irritation. At one point, our water bottle was empty, so I politely asked if we could have more water. The waitress visibly rolled her eyes, took the bottle without saying anything, and when she returned, put it down so abruptly that water actually splashed out of the top. We had originally been a party of four and were seated at a table overlooking the golf course. When we added our driver as a fifth guest, we understood that we needed to move tables. One of my friends apparently asked if another table with a view might be available. I wasn’t present for that particular interaction, so I can’t say exactly what happened, but from that point forward it felt as though the staff was irritated with our group and that attitude continued throughout the entire meal. All five of us independently came away with the same impression: we felt unwelcome and as though the staff genuinely disliked having us there. It was uncomfortable enough that it became a topic of conversation at our table. St Andrews is such a special place, and we had been looking forward to having lunch at Tom Morris. Unfortunately, the unnecessarily rude and dismissive service completely overshadowed the experience. I rarely leave a negative review, but this was bad enough that I felt it was worth mentioning.”

  “Attention Management: Please Fix Your Service The food was very nice and the atmosphere is wonderful, but unfortunately the service completely spoiled our experience. We are four ladies traveling through Scotland with our driver, and after almost two weeks of an extensive luxury tour, eating in many restaurants along the way, this was honestly the first time we encountered such consistently rude and dismissive service. From the greeting to taking our order, the facial expressions and attitude made us feel as though we were an inconvenience. At one point, even a bottle of water was practically thrown onto our table. What surprised us most was that this attitude seemed to come not only from the waiters, but also from management. Scotland has been incredibly warm and welcoming everywhere we have traveled, which made this experience stand out even more. Tom Morris is such a beautiful and well-known place, and the food deserves better service to match it. I really hope management pays attention to how guests are being treated, because a restaurant in such a special location should make people want to come back — not leave wondering what just happened.”

  “The food was mediocre and the service was very slow. I guess they have the corner of the market being on the golf course so maybe they really don’t care about the service.”

  “Incredible history and an open and Green course for all. Look around, have a bite, make a putt. The vibe is awesome and open. Lots of great merch to be had. Go if you can, it’s truly amazing.”

  “We are a family of 6 adults and a baby visiting St Andrews for holiday. One of our drivers told us to visit Tom Morris and we are glad we got there in the late afternoon when it wasn’t overly busy. Because we have a 15 month old to keep occupied it is always good to eat somewhere during the off peak hours. Our waitress was very helpful and we enjoyed haggis, a variety of sandwiches and salads plus some drinks. My shrimp baguette was 4*. Tasty, but not exceptional. I pups definitely visit again and try some of their other yummy options. A special shout out to Amy, a supervisor, who was very kind and sweet with our baby. She genuinely made our visit memorable because she didn’t act like the baby was a nuisance, but rather she treated her like she was a paying customer. Btw, the bay loved the chips and had some steak as well. Thank u Tom Morris for hiring such quality employees.”

  “Beautiful view of the course and a really convenient place for a quick bite before or after your round. The onion rings (£5) were perfectly crispy and soup of the day (£8) was fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and quick. Large free parking lot is a big plus.”

  “I can highly recommend the Porridge for breakfast (great texture). The Cauliflower dish is awesome (best thing on the menu), all served with Flatbreads and Mango Chutney. The Tandoori Chicken Burger is recommendable too. The desserts are great too! Believe me, I have tried them all.”

  “We decided that we would start the festive season of by going for lunch at the Tom Morris grill on the 18th fairway of the Old course,a fabulous setting to watch the world go by. Xmas menu was what we wanted starting of with a lovely selection of canopies before our meal. I opted for the smoked salmon to start,which was absolutely delicious and so well presented,I thoroughly enjoyed it. June went for the baked goats cheese crottin,which again was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. Two turkey dinners were our main course choices,I never tire of Turkey and this was a lovely plate of food.Thick slices of Roullade,roast tatties and all the trimmings with a large dollop of cranberry sauce to compliment the whole thing made for a delicious meal. Service was extremely friendly with staff who took everything in their stride and nothing was a problem as well as dealing with a restaurant which was packed with hungry golfers. Only a few minutes drive from the main thoroughfare of St andrews or a brisk 15 minute walk,this is definitely a destination you should head to if you find yourself in this fabulous Golf and University Mecca.”
