We had visited Tiffneys a few times 3 years ago and were very impressed with both the service and quality of steaks. Tonight was the first time we had visited in 3 years and had been looking forward to our evening especially when the restaurant had cancelled our first booking due to COVID outbreak in the restaurant. Raymond the chef we knew a few years ago was no longer working there and we missed him coming over to the table with a selection of steaks and explaining the difference of each steak. The lamb starter had a piece of lamb smaller than my thumb and was tough, we ordered a 200g fillet which had tough sinew through it, my T Bone was good although not outstanding, we ordered desserts one which was cheese and biscuits but the waiter then said they had no cheeses and biscuits, very unusual for a restaurant and when the bill came we had been charged for a 300g fillet. When we challenged this the waiter apologised but didn’t alter the bill. I had left a £20 tip on the table but picked this back up something I would never usually do, disappointing experience for £190 I am totally disgusted by the response from Tiffney's it is totally incorrect on a few fronts First I will not back down on the quality of the lamb tenderloin and I did not complain as this is the first time we had been served a dish which was not up to the standards we experienced on various previous visits to the restaurant Second the waiter did ask me during my main course if everything was alright to which I responded yes which it was with my T-bone steak which I have already commented on but this was before my partner had found the issue with her fillet steak. We did complain about the quality of the fillet and pointed out the sinew or fat in the remains when the manager collected our plates Third it was very clear when we ordered the steak that it was a 200g steak and when I challenged the bill the waiter apologised and said in front of the manager that this was his mistake Fourth when I left I mentioned to my partner that I will not rush back so how the manager or waiter could hear what I said when they stood at the back of the restaurant and didn't even make the effort to see us out especially when we were the only people left in the restaurant Last I take it personal that I was accused of calling the waiter a little f....r, language I do not use in this environment and how this was overheard by several persons when we were last to leave the...
Read moreMy wife and I visited Tiffney's for the first time since moving to Glasgow 18 months ago. We are big on our steak and had heard great things and we were not disappointed in the slightest.
When we first arrived, we were met graciously by the waiting staff and seated. We asked for a recommendation on the wine. My wife can be quite picky so the waitress asked us if we would like to try the wine and brought a wee taster glass to test before we made our decision. Really nice touch and her recommendation was great we loved the wine, so got a bottle.
We ordered the scallops to start to share and they were excellent. We then ordered two 300g fillet steaks cooked medium rare a side of chips, potatoes and mac n cheese with peppercorn sauce for both of us. Steaks were absolutely 10/10, genuinely excellent, perfectly cooked and beautifully accompanied with the sides.
We ordered desert I had sticky toffee pudding which was excellent and my wife ordered Creme Brulee, which was pretty poor. Quite grainy in texture and very bland in taste, even I who can usually eat anything could only mange one spoonful. We relayed the comments back to the waitress who immediately apologised and took the Creme Brulee off the bill. The only slight issue we had was it was very warm in the restaurant to the point where it may become uncomfortable.
I would give this place a 9/10 with the only negatives being the temperature of the restaurant (which I concede is personal preference) & the Creme Brulee (which was dealt with excellently by the staff) Fact is Tiffney's is a steakhouse and the steaks were 10/10, we can't...
Read moreMyself and my partner ate at this restaurant on Sunday evening. Our starters, the mushroom risotto and the scallop dish, were both delicious and would highly recommend people to order these upon visiting. We also ordered 3 of the oysters to begin our meal, the meat of the oyster was separated from the shell which surprisingly many restaurants don't do, but they were not cleaned of shell correctly and each one of them we ate was met with a mouth full of shell as well. The steaks we ordered, despite being tasty were slightly over-seasoned with salt and were not cooked to how we ordered them. The sides we ordered were the garlic and rosemary potatoes, the truffle parmesan fries, beer battered onion rings and the king prawns. The potatoes texturally felt like they had been sat out for a long time before being brought to our table as they were stodgy and nothing exciting, under seasoned. The fries were heavily over-seasoned and comparable to eating a packet of crisps rather than a bowl of fries. The onion rings were delicious though and I highly recommend them. The prawns additionally, were cooked well and delicious. The dessert we had was the sticky toffee pudding was great but slightly stringy which a little disappointing. The front of house staff provided a good service but could smile more as they seemed miserable. The restaurant didn't seem that busy as it is a small place with only 6 or 7 tables in the whole venue. All in all as understood they are a steak restaurant however personally I felt the star of the meal was the starters and everything else...
