Steak pie was spot on. Rich, flavourful, and piping hot. Just what you need for a quick, filling lunch. Got me in and out in under 30 mins. Perfect for a midweek bite.

The meat platter was spot on, cooked just right. But those desserts... the chocolate tart was something else. Honestly, could have just had that.

The open kitchen is mesmerising. Watching the chef meticulously plate each dish felt like a private show. The food itself was stunning, almost too pretty to eat. A lovely, quiet moment in the middle of the city.

Popped in after a stroll through Pollok Park. The location is spot on. Had a lovely glass of Rioja with the haggis bites, a surprisingly good match. My dog was made very welcome, which is always a plus.

A cozy spot with friendly staff. The service was attentive, which made for a comfortable lunch. The pasta was pretty good, though the portion was a bit on the small side.

Nice spot in town centre. The lamb shank was cooked perfectly, fell right off the bone. Staff were really attentive too.

Service was efficient and professional. Zoya, Brian, and Shoaib were particularly attentive. They handled a busy lunch rush well, checking in without being intrusive. Good to see a team that works smoothly together.

Been here a few times, always busy. Bartenders know their stuff and are chatty. Had a flight of their single malts last night, solid pours. Good spot if you want a lively atmosphere.

Steak was cooked just right, really juicy. Lamb chops were good too. The service was quick and friendly. Nice spot for a casual dinner.

The bar itself is a real draw. They&#39;ve got a thoughtful tap list with some proper rarities. I spent a pleasant hour just working through a couple of the local craft options. The space is comfortable for a solo drink.

Gio and the team are always friendly, remember you. It&rsquo;s a proper local spot. The pasta is solid, nothing fancy but done right. Been coming here for years.

Had a lovely birthday lunch. The festive menu was a treat, and the staff were so friendly. They made sure we were comfortable throughout.

Stumbled upon this place by chance. The rustic, cosy vibe is just right&mdash;warm and inviting. It&#39;s a really nice spot to just sit and relax for a while.

Cocktails are solid. Mocktails too. The fruity one was actually good. Not too sweet. Prices are fair for the area. Decent spot for a quick drink.

Tried the tasting menu last night. Honestly, for the price, the number of courses and the portion sizes were spot on. Everything felt substantial and well thought out. No tiny bites that leave you hungry. Good value for a tasting menu experience.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The butter chicken with peshwari naan was spot on. Good for sharing, though the portions are quite small for the price. Would get that again.

Nice spot with a charming old-school vibe. It was pretty busy when we went, but the noise level was fine. The pasta was decent, though the portion felt a bit on the smaller side.

Cosy spot with nice decor. Had a relaxed dinner here, the food was pretty good. A bit on the pricier side, but fine for a quiet evening out.

The small plates are actually quite generous, and the flavours are bold. I love that the menu changes so often&mdash;it means there&rsquo;s always something new to try. Really sets it apart from other places.

Food took a bit to come out, but you can tell it&#39;s made fresh. The space itself is really nice though&mdash;high ceilings and those big windows let in so much light. Just a relaxed spot to sit for a while.

The cheesecake was a nice finish. Homemade, not too sweet. The choux bun had a good, light cream inside. Just right after a heavy main.

Prices are fair for what you get. The portions are generous, and there&#39;s a lot to choose from. I had the grilled salmon &ndash; cooked just right, not dry at all. A solid spot for a casual meal.

The squid starter was a generous portion and cooked just right. The prawn spaghetti was a treat, too. Good value set menu.

The seasonal daiquiri really stood out. You could taste the fresh lime and the quality of the rum. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet at all. I ended up having a second one, which I don&#39;t usually do. A lovely, refreshing choice.

Popped in for a late lunch. The lemon mint mojito was really refreshing. Had the spaghetti with parmesan, it was solid. A bit busy, but the vibe was nice.

The dining room downstairs is so soft and cool. A real escape from the street above. The lamb bhuna was rich and deeply spiced, just what I needed on a damp evening.

The staff were really good about my gluten-free request, which was a relief. My prawn special was tasty, and my son&#39;s lasagne was homemade. The place itself was a bit too brightly lit for a relaxed dinner, though.
