Sinclair’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Scotland

Sadly 3 star rating. Food was awesome, plenty choice,well presented and nice portions.

However, ate 2 consecutive nights. First night excellent service, attentive but not overbearing staff (Wed 9/9/20). Good practice of social distancing etc. Great experience so booked again for following night.

Second night WOW completely different! (Thurs 10/9/20) We arrived promptly and were shown to table, given menus and left. From then on the service was poor at best.

It was a shame about the slow service as this would have otherwise been an excellent meal. Would come back again in the hope that this...

We went on steak night, the best steak I have ever had, amazing flavours 😋 Atmosphere is lovely, has a bistro feel to it. Soft lighting and fairy lights. Undercover outdoor dining available also. Staff were polite and friendly but did not inform us of the specials, and that it was steak night like we noticed the other tables were. We sat a good while before someone took our dirty plates. We had to call them over to order desserts and another drink. Just felt weren't attentive enough and it wasn't particularly busy. Different staff attending us also, better if same person. Just felt this let them down. Would still go back as...
