Bothy Restaurant 3 Jan 2018 Lovely little lunch. Hidden little restruant off the busy Byres Road. We decided to have a lunch at the Bothy as we had heard good things. We entered to clean crisp decor, greeted by gentleman in a kilt. classy. it's slightly dark and feels cosy and welcoming, the server had good humour which made us feel settled. we where shown to our table quickly and given all needed information about the menu and what was available for this lunchtime. Drinks where offered and brought out very promptly. We didn't feel pressured into picking quickly. We ordered from the lunch and À la carte menu to try and experience a selection of the food available. We wanted our food all out together but waitress advised it was better and quicker to split the order so all food would come out when it was ready which was very helpful and something we had never been offered before so really would speed up the process if you are in a rush. The drinks came and they gave us a water for the table which I feel is a must for any restaurant. We ordered coffee and apple juice as well. The Americano was good wasn't bitter and came at the right temperature and with lovely piece of tablet. Our starters where Cullen skink and haggis bon bons. The bon bons were nice little small but nice and being from lunch menu I guess small makes sense. The whisky sauce was little to heavy on the cream and very watery so felt less like whisky sauce more like a side soup. The Cullen skink was enjoyable and had a lovely selection of fish through it not too heavy on the cream. After we where finished dishes were cleared and we waited for our mains. Our mains were steak burger and lamb chop. The burger was juicy and came with a special burger sauce. The coleslaw was nice and well prepared and handcut chips where little bit more like potatoes as they were quite thick, but nice none the less. The pork chop I had asked for jus on the side this came correct but I must say the jus is needed as the pork chop was little dry and tough but tasted nice, for me the mustard mash was a little too spicy but I am very sensitive to this, the selection of veg with garlic was lovely and the stuffing, although I was unsure if I'd like it was the best bit. After finishing our food, we asked for the bill, which like everything else was delivered very quickly. The waitress gave us 20% off as we'd had to wait longer as chef had forgot to put jus on the side. We didn't notice the wait but we're grateful for the reduction and honesty. I feel we would eat here again but only by ourselves without the children like we had done today. I wouldn't recommend for young or autistic children personally. I'd say Bothy's is very much an adult eatery.
