The Venice Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

Firstly let me say that the woman seating and serving us was lovely and very apologetic about being short staffed (after taking our order).

That being said, we sat for roughly 15 minutes before having an order taken then had to wait another 40 minutes for our orders to arrive. In which time we had asked for our drinks and still hadn't received them.

I had the chicken tikka and although it looked lovely, it was pretty bland. Perhaps just an off day? Who knows. Other members of the party had a panini and a toastie which I wish I had had too as they looked great.

My wife had the chicken burger and she was really impressed with it and the side of seasoned chips were so good. The service was exceptional, really friendly and attentive. Really nice place, I would highly recommend it. Oh, and in my opinion the prices were very reasonable considering the quality...

Nothing wrong with the food and staff fine main issue has been lack of consistency re opening days and hours and I think this contributed to this business closing down.Hopefully under new ownership this business can eventually be a success.But I won't be easy aa the owner who gave up the business did try hard to succeed but sadly to no avail. Still it is wrongly stated on the website this cafe is open when it has been closed for 3 weeks and is still currently closed. It is important potential customers don't make wasted journeys to a cafe that is closed. This being the case I have communicated to Google business is...
