It is well presented and very professional looking. Difficult to pick a favourite but the breaded brie, starter, is definitely a winner, along with the haggis scotch egg.

We chose to have starters, I had the Scotch egg which is the best I’ve ever had. My wife had the crab cake which she said was delicious. We went for the steak deal which is great value for money. The steak was cooked to perfection and comes with macaroni cheese which was lovely too. The cocktails were also great - My wife had the jungle bird and the History of Violet. The young lady and the gentleman at the bar were very knowledgeable and make the best cocktails in town. We noticed the wide selection of gins on offer and my wife had a mango and lime gin which she said was lovely too.
A nice surprise was a special birthday plate was made for my wife as it is her Birthday tomorrow - thank you to the chef, it was a nice added touch to our experience.
The staff really make the restaurant what it is. The atmosphere is just what you want from a restaurant with a nice homely feel. Everyone is very polite and attentive, we will definitely be back soon!
