Down To Earth — Restaurant in Scotland

Pros Got seated quickly without a reservation. Ordered fairly quickly. Been here 3 years ago and loved the food and service to which I left a £10 tip as I also stayed for an hour chatting after food. Food seems fresh

Cons An estimated 40+ min waiting on the Pina Colada shake (non alcoholic). It felt very long, and another table of 2 did walk out as they were receiving drinks, although they didn't see the waitering staff come with them, I'm guessing because of the wait. The waiter accidentally sprayed disinfectant onto my leg when wiping the table next to ours. He did apologise but didn't seem happy that I asked for a napkin to wipe my leg. I hate chemicals on my skin. My food came shortly after the drink came out, about 5+ mins. But my wife's took another 5 mins. I asked for an additional pumpkin katsu, onto my chicken katsu, but given a sweet potato. N we did make sure to ask if it's going to be "pumpkin". My chicken katsu dish was not bad, not much curry sauce to go far. The chips were over salted for sure. My wife had the Korean Beef Brisket, however, it really did taste like Mexican! And aside from that, it was EXTREMELY salty. One mouth was even very strong, including how sour it was. I tell my wife to let me know these things earlier but she doesn't like confrontation and didn't say. After our meal, the female waitering staff, who seemed like the manager, cleaned the table next to me and again I got sprayed by the disinfectant!! She had the cheek to say, "I don't know how I sprayed you." You sprayed me because your bottle sucks and you are spraying in my direction carelessly!!!!!! And there are many flies flying around. My seat padding did not seat me level too. Paid GBP 35 for this experience. And my chicken was...

Very inviting place with a casual and comfortable, down to Earth(😏) atmosphere.

There are lots of options on the menu; happening options that are better than the typical stuff that you'll find in most other places. I would like to give a higher score for the food, but I was unable to try any of the main options due to allergies. The staff were kind and welcoming; especially when accommodating my awkward medical/allergy needs (I felt bad for being a bother, but they were very nice about it). The waiter (Kevin?) was a one person army taking care of the steady flow of business, the kitchen staff were also working away hard (none of the kitchen staff were wearing hats which I thought was required in professional kitchens). Kitchen staff were competent and pleasant; seemed to really know their stuff👍 Coffee seemed a little weak (guess I'm just used to deeper flavours).

I felt great after being here; the smoothie I had along with the staff's welcoming attitude must have...

We were just passing through Glasgow on a roadtrip and stopped to stretch our legs and have some lunch and we saw great reviews for Down to Earth so we decided to try it out. The first impression is that this place is SMALL. There are not a lot of seating options, but thankfully we were able to get a table. Their were only two waitstaff, which was more than enough for this little place, but they were both very attentive, welcoming, and helpful. We tried their shakes, and all had different meal orders. There were plenty of options for visitors on all kinds of diets. None of us were disappointed. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was fun, well decorated, and quirky. This place definitely has it's own flair. We were very pleased with our visit! We even received directions to a nearby Ice Cream shop after our meal and were super happy for the...
