New lunch on Sunday since my last visit with each cure and extras, separately calculated. my party had frying, fishing chips and an salad. all foods were good. in relation to the presentation everything looked good, although salat leaves were completely left and would have been hacked much better. desserts at £3,50 are good, but some more generous than others. restaurant was not busy and this is probably due to new menu and prices. service was friendly, but rather slow and inattentive. it seemed to be a lot of personal, but they were often all together behind the bar. total decent food too reasonable to praise. worth a visit.

The meal was fantastic, the food quality was top-notch, everything was delicious. I had the steak, ale, and mushroom pie, fish cakes, and beef stroganoff, all of which were excellent. The staff was also outstanding. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

A great place to eat or go real ales. steaks and fish are just the best. Always made to feel welcome from treeve, were and their team.

My experience at OK Restaurant was not great. I had booked a table over the phone, but upon arrival, there was no record of my reservation. I was eventually seated and offered some drinks, which was fine. However, it took 20 minutes for them to take our order, and even longer for the starters to arrive. The food did not look appetizing – the potato wedges were bland and the grill sauce was terrible. The broth rolls were also placed on the table burnt side down. When we inquired about our food, we were told it would be coming soon, but it took a long time. The food itself was not impressive – the new potatoes were overcooked and mushy, while the roasted potatoes were not crispy. The vegetables were decent, with the carrots boiled and the broccoli cooked well. The staff seemed disorganized, with many of them wandering around aimlessly. It wasn't a great first impression, but I will give it another try next week to see if things have improved.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent at this restaurant. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend trying the pie, as it is one of the best I have ever tasted.
