Greens Restaurant Tain — Restaurant in Scotland

The food we had was lovely and the coffee perfect. It was hot and cooked right through, so it does not appear to have been microwaved but properly prepared. Service was friendly and professional, and our needs catered to with a quiet efficiency. The ambience was calm and relaxed but not laid back. So, thus far, all was good. But it was not accessible. We had gone through the town centre looking for somewhere to park as my walking is very limited, and found a disabled space, so we stopped. Across the road was a bakers "tea room," but as far as we could tell, the tea room had been closed for a while, so we went to the Greens. Give the staff their due, they couldn't have been more helpful, but there were 2 steps to get in, and I struggled with them. But the food and coffee were really good. But then came the toilet. Upon asking, I found out it was up another 3 steps! I barely made it and had to stay in there for several minutes after I had finished to stop shaking. The staff were once again very apologetic. Apparently, the owner of the building is refusing to make any changes. Unfortunately, the DDA and the Equality Duty apply just as much in Tain as anywhere else! Such a shame considering how nice...

I went into Greens with the family and it wasn't clear whether we should wait to be seated or not, so we just sat down, as it was not busy. It seemed we were purposely ignored for at least 20 minutes after a waitress said, "I can't right now" when we finally got her attention. (Isn't saying something like, "I'll be with you in 2 minutes" more polite???) Coffees were nice and food adequate, but nothing special. A few weeks later I went into Greens on my own, and a really miserable waitress served me. As she brought me my drink and cake... she coughed all over them. So unbelievably unhygienic. I sent the cake back but managed the drink. When I was stood near the till when I first walked in, a huge arrogant woman at the till ignored me, then walked away from this area and right in front of me. Next time make sure you properly knock me out of the way....I'm a customer so I don't matter do I? Also, it seems I was invisible that day. Except there won't be a 'next time' as obviously I will spend my money elsewhere. FYI, Harry Gow across the street are brilliant for bread, cakes...

First called in for cake and coffee, it was delightful and the staff were very welcoming. Decided to book dinner for my wife as a surprise. Glad I did, the food was excellent. The mushroom soup was one of the best I've tasted. My wife had chicken milanese , I had king prawn chorizo linguini. Fabulous, hats off to the chef it was just perfect. I could not believe the amount of succulent crunchy king prawns. The milanese was to a top class restaurant standard. Its now our place to go, and I suggest you try it. ! Incidentally you'll be asking yourself is it expensive? No it isn't. Well...
