Ghillie's — Restaurant in Scotland

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Only two tables being served including ours, a red flag on a Saturday night. Ordered starters, bland but edible. The mains were rushed out, the staff obviously not wanting to be there at 7:45!! My partner's baked potato was literally rotting, big black chunks everywhere. Her salad covered with cheese and coleslaw like a staff canteen would have served in the 70s, her chicken was rubber, she couldn't cut through it, my salmon dry but just about edible....it all seemed microwaved? The main was comped, the dessert menu reluctantly produced , my partner ordered £7 sticky toffee pudding, microwaved sponge and store bought topping! Her request for a coffee refused as the coffee machine had been turned off around 8pm!! A party of 6 had been refused in an entirely empty restaurant as they had a tiny dog. The staff didn't want to be there, the food was disgusting and this was by far my worst ever dining experience. I waited for Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back bus to arrive but...

Food was lovely and the boys who served us were great .we paid our bill and went on our way ,a short time later I got a call to say unfortunately there had been a mistake with the bill and we had received another tables bill we owed them £10 ..I would expect them to check the bill before giving us it ,we didn't check the bill as presumed it was correct ,we went back to pay back what we owed in case they deducted the underpayment frm the staff member,Now remembering the bill was £47 and we gave them ,£53.50 we decided as we had been humiliated already that we would deduct the tip therefore owing £3.65 ,the manager was insisting that we pay and that if this had happened 10 times that day they would be short £40 and it was the principle of paying back what we owed.the attitude was shocking and when my partner gave over £3.70 and said we'll wait for the change the manager laughed and scoffed at us for wanting the change ,now surely the principle works both ways .it was embarrassing and...

Had high hopes due to the reviews however was left disappointed. Noted the restaurant opened until 7pm so made a point to book in for 4:30 to ensure we had enough time to comfortably enjoy our dinner. We were the only table in our entire stay and waiter was in no way attentive, very minimal contact was made. Starter was nice, we had the haggis and black pudding Bon Bon’s with a fresh salad. The mains then followed and were very disappointing. The steak pie was tough in regards to the meat and the fish and chips also didn’t meet the standards of the starter. The chips were slightly undercooked while also being burnt looking and the dish as a whole wasn’t enjoyable. We didn’t raise the issues as we felt between the service and mains there wasn’t much that could be redeemed at this stage. It may have been an unfortunate booking time on our part however we would expect service and food to be consistent if not better on a quiet...
