What Pauline Hall doesn't like about Mcgonagalls:
Wanted to visit for a while was bitterly disappointed my steak arrived in good time as did my wife's however her steak was all grizzle and though they happily cooked her a fresh steak by the time it arrived I had finished mine so had to sit and watch her eat her meal. Which kind of defeated the purpose of going for a meal together. No discount or apology offered. View all feedback. What Rosie Thomas likes about Mcgonagalls:
Outstanding! Had the pan fried duck special and couldn't have been more pleased. The entree was perfectly prepared and so were the accompanying vegetables (red cabbage and a mashed potato dish). Beautifully plated as well. Didn't expect such good fare. Price was perfect too Our party of are wonderful meals and each of us had a glass of wine. Total bill was just under View all feedback.

Great food. Filling and fresh! Lighting was a bit too intense and at times a chilly breeze seems to go by. Bring a couple layers during winter I highly recommen...

A recent visit to this restaurant revealed mixed reviews. Some customers were disappointed with slow service, lack of vegetarian options, and flavorless dishes, while others praised the pan-fried duck special and delicious steaks. Beautifully plated entrees and accommodating staff were highlighted positives. The ambiance was noted to be chilly during winter. Overall, the restaurant offers delicious food but may need improvements in consistency and service speed. Make sure to make a reservation in advance to secure a table at this hidden gem in Scotland.
