The restaurant offers a mixed experience, with some diners expressing disappointment due to food and drink items being out of stock, while others rave about the friendly staff and delicious meals. Some highlights were the Balmoral Chicken and the haggis, with patrons returning for the great atmosphere. The atmosphere was described as lively during sporting events, creating a fantastic experience for guests. While some encountered slow service, the majority enjoyed the overall atmosphere and tasty dishes at reasonable prices, recommending the venue for a cozy night out.
