Casa Mia Dumfries — Restaurant in Scotland

Amazing food, perfectly cooked, and served up beautifully. Apologies that the photo of mine wasn't taken before I tucked in. My son had a fabulous birthday meal, and we both really enjoyed the whole experience. My only issue is a personal one, I struggle with noise, especially music, and combined with it being quite busy on a Sunday night in the main restaurant room, and the music, I did struggle to hear. I'm 52 with dodgy hearing which doesn't help. I was also a little disappointed that there is no disabled parking, and I had to park at the far end of the car park. It was also not great for my manual wheelchair, the bathroom doors won't allow access in my wheelchair. Fortunately I was able to use my stick that day, otherwise I would say accessibility is the only issue the restaurant has. I'd suggest adding two disabled spaces at the entrance, and a level access wheelchair accessible bathroom is added, separate to the main toilets. It didn't ruin our night, but it could be an issue for anyone who is unable to stand at all.

Food: oh my, what can I say. The pictures don't do this delicious food justice at all. The steaks we had were lovely, perfectly cooked, lean and tender. The server very kindly saved some of my steak in a little box so I could take it home to my cats and dog, who also approved!

Alcohol free wine, that actually tasted like wine, yes you heard me right! Nice, not too sweet alcohol free white wine, that tasted nice! I've been off booze for more than 12 years now, and this 0% wine was a very welcome surprise. I've tried lots and nothing else has come close!

Gluten free options - quite literally spoilt for choice. I was really hungry, so had a very tasty seeded gluten free roll, made into a delicious garlicky bruchetta. Most starters and main meals are available as GF options, and a good percentage of the desserts too. Very impressed, and I thoroughly enjoyed my GF meal. My son loved his meal and the dessert he had, which came out beautifully presented with a sparkler, and I had a latte, with amaretto flavour syrup

Very accommodating for both coeliac and alcohol free selections. They have an extensive menu for both.

Overall it was roughly £80 total, including 1 starter, 2 mains, dessert and one coffee. 1 glass of alcohol free wine, a traditional glass bottle of coke (250ml). Not bad at all, at around £40 per head. They do also have less expensive early diner menus, we chose a la carte and were very impressed. Generous portion sizes of really good tasty and well cooked food.

We will definitely...

This was a surprise discovery for me. I have been on the quest for a good dining experience in the area and was lucky enough to attend Casa Mia with some friends, who had found it on-line.

It seemed a well hidden establishment -- granted it was dark when we arrived and I could not see much of the surrounding area however it did seem squirrelled away at the end of a long row of houses. I was not sure what to expected as we arrived.

I was not disappointed, and was amazed at how large it was. The staff were very friendly from the outset and we were efficiently escorted to our table and welcomed to the restaurant.

The food was exquisite in every way, from the mouth-watering description on the menu, the presentation, and of course the eating experience. Each of us selected a different starter and main and we were all quite delighted with the results. Portion size was generous and in the end we were unable to consider the deserts!

The choice of wine was good and the prices equally pleasing. Tableware was of good quality. I was also pleased that the layout was not too intense so you did not feel that you were participating in the next tables conversation! 'The facilities' were very clean and well appointed too.

It's difficult to fault the experience -- perhaps the fresh carnations as a centre piece on the table was a let down, almost cafe-like but that flaw is almost not worth mentioning.

Overall an A+ from all at our table and I look forward to a...

There is no doubt that the food here is good, as many reviews will testify. It is also obvious that a great deal has been spent on providing a comfortable and pleasant dining area. It is therefore a great disappointment that there are no toilet facilities for wheelchair users, as we discovered during a birthday celebration for my son. Although we were told beforehand that facilities were available, we soon discovered this was not the case. When my son commented to a male member of staff that he would have no option but to go outside for the purpose, he declined to comment and just walked away. I wonder how customers at this restaurant would feel about having to go out in the carpark, in the darkness and the rain, in order to relieve themselves? This is what my son, a man in his forties, was obliged to do. There is an obligation for a business providing services to the public, to make reasonable adjustments to enable disabled people to have access to the same facilities as everyone else. I hope this restaurant will step up and provide an accessible wc, considering there is ample space to do so. How about...
