We were a party of 4, my partner and I were 15 minutes late and the other 2 in our party more than 30 mins late, this was just due to an earlier inconvenience. This did not change the wonderful service, I thought we’d get told to trot on, far from it! We were welcomed and offered drinks and although we were flustered trying to make sure our friends got there, the team acted like it wasn’t a drama! Once we all arrived we checked out the menu and made our choices. I eat fish but not meat and asked on the off chance that I could have the scallops without black pudding, the waitress instantly replied “of course” and off she went with our order (we all had the scallops) When it arrived we were all making “this is very tasty” noises! It was delicious! We then had our main courses 3 trout and one risotto, we couldn’t have asked for tastier food and in the words of my partner “someone in that kitchen knows how to cook fish!”
We found Scott’s through Itison as a birthday gift for our 82 yr old friend, we are 41 and 51 in age, so it’s great we all enjoyed it! Your team are wonderful, so attentive, spent just the right amount of time with us, had a giggle with us and we felt no pressure to be rushed out the door!
A final thank you for the additional surprise of a slice of cake with a candle for Elizabeth’s 82nd birthday!
We can’t wait to return in the daylight, we will be booking...
Read moreLost track of the number of visits we have made to this restaurant, but we went again for my husband's belated birthday dinner and it was the first time we have been there with our little boy, which felt very special.
The staff were just as wonderfully warm and welcoming, remembering us from previous visits (a really impressive skill considering the countless HPB guests they have visiting throughout the years!).
The food was really delicious and cooked to perfection as ever. The classic dishes are there to please returning guests, with the changing specials board providing a freshness of choice. This is a great idea as it means you can go for multiple trips during your holiday as there's always something new to try!
We had made a special overnight trip to Callander just to visit the bistro and it did not disappoint, one for the memory bank! Thank you so much to the Scott's...
Read moreI will start on the food as that is what people want to see from a restaurant review; the food was well presented low standard produce. The menu is fairly high priced, so you expect much much better, hugely disappointed. On top of this my daughter asked for bbq sauce on her burger, but got brown sauce instead for her only to find out after tasting it. Where the real problem was the noise! When I say loud i mean REALLY loud! It’s like a kids crèche, with kids running around and shouting everywhere - it was not what I expected at all. The staff said it was super loud when we paid, but did nothing when we complained during our meal. I don’t usually complain about things, but we could not even have a conversation as we could not...
