Best restaurant in Dundee. Serves the highest quality food and al a carte dining. Food is always good, service great with a relaxed atmosphere.

We had a pre theatre meal here. The service could not have been better and the food was excellent. Three courses for £19.95 is outstanding value for the quality on offer. Highly recommended

If they are in dundee and go to the theater, then they should book in the playwright for a meal before. the restaurant is actually quite.

This is a very good place for a nice and sophisticated dinner. The cuisine is very modern with surprisingly nice taste combinations. I chose the poached egg and the duck leg and they were both amazing. Definitely recommend. The only downsides were the desserts, they weren't particularly tasty and were quite small. But for the rest it was amazing. Excellent service and good food for a reasonable price.

I am really impressed by this place - really a cut over some of the other 'cultural quarter' drinking holes in dundee. I've been a couple times since.
