My husband ordered the back street stack burger which came with a fried chicken fillet, seriously they should consider selling that alone as a dish in mini fillet form because it was just sublime.

The room is... read more large and a bit noisy and sometimes quite hard to hear each other talk, could maybe do with some sort of sound reduction.

The food was excellent I had the burger which was really tasty along with fries. What can I say about the fries they were absolutely delicious. The wife had the duck which she said melted in her mouth.

Thought the wine prices were a bit high for a so-so Chardonnay. Another wee quibble was the serviette's tiny wee things could either do with larger paper ones or have material ones, which can really make a difference to the overall feel of a restaurant. The waitress did supply an extra serviette when requested.

One thing to consider is that the restaurant is up 3 sets of steps with no lift which makes it difficult for anyone with a disability.
