"I reserved the Bistro for my 60th Birthday dinner with a party of 24. We chose the 2 course Celebration menu, which was a fixed price and perfect for our group. The food was outstanding on the night, the service was exceptional, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I believe the restaurant may have gained some new customers from our experience. They even took care of cutting and packaging my birthday cake since we were all too full to eat anymore. My birthday celebration at the Bistro was everything I had hoped for!"

"The service was excellent, but we waited for 40 minutes without realizing it. The delivery driver claimed he knocked on the door, but he didn't. Our two dogs were going crazy! However, the food was returned and it was delicious. Thank you for the prompt second delivery. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is amazing and the prices are very reasonable."

"Called in here completely by chance on our way back to England from Scotland for some lunch and so glad we did. The staff were super friendly and attentive and service is quick. The menu is extremely extensive, featuring both traditional and more alternative and interesting dishes. There really is a dish for every palate. We were spoilt for choice! I had the steak pie and the wife had twice cooked pork belly, and both were divine. We left extremely full and satisfied. The quality of the food is exquisite, proper home cooked, the portions are a good size and the prices and very reasonable the perfect recipe for a successful food business. Well done to the owners and don’t change a thing! I cannot recommend the Crown Inn highly enough."

"Don’t know what’s happened to Zucca but it’s not the restaurant it used to be. Sat next to the bar where the waitress was clattering everything about, doesn’t make for a relaxing evening. When you charge £34 for a fillet steak you would expect it to be top notch but instead it was chewy and not a good cut of beef. Truffle and Parmesan fries had to ask for Parmesan to sprinkle over them!! Arrabbiata was passable but have had better elsewhere. Deserts cheesecake, couldn’t get the spoon through the base, described as vanilla and honeycomb flavour but tasteless, really poor. Pineapple carpaccio with the panna cotta should be thin not chunks, think they desperately need a pastry chef. Staff disengaged! Overpriced mediocrity!"

"I have been going to tinto tapas in uddingston for the last 4 years. I go with my friend every time I come over to Scotland . It is usually very good but I noticed a marked decline when I went for lunch last week . It was hit and miss . The Caesar salad was bland . The calamari was a soggy congealed mess. the patatas bravas were dreadful, they were dry and tasteless with an underwhelming spicy mayo dip . They were obviously mass produced and not manufactured in-house. The place really needs a deep clean . Windows were dirty and the radiator near the front window was filthy and splattered with god knows what . The menus were dirty , covered with finger marks . The staff and service however was great and we really enjoyed the pate and the aubergine fritters . Standards have slipped and they need to pull their socks up . I won’t be returning until things improve"

The service was perfect and the atmosphere itself, warm and welcoming. We will return and therefore, recommend.

"I have visited this restaurant many times over the years and this is the first negative review I have ever written for any establishment, but my experience was shockingly poor. We went for breakfast on a late morning midweek when it wasn't busy and were seated right by the window at the door. It took a long time to order drinks and even longer to order food. It took 20 minutes for our two breakfast dishes to arrive. My omelette was dry, falling apart, and basically a scrambled mess. When I posted about it on social media, I received various comments asking what I was eating (without mentioning where I was). My friend had avocado toast and when I asked him how it was, he just shook his head. We both ate most of our meals because we had to get back to work, but I left a third of mine because it was so dry. No one checked back on our food or offered us another drink when we had finished. A couple of young female staff members were busy chatting with customers at the counter and didn't clear our dirty plates. When my friend got up to make a phone call, I had to ask another staff member for the bill, which was not ideal. There was no conversation or even a simple thank you as we left. I'm not sure why I left a tip, perhaps out of habit. It felt like nobody cared about the food or the service. The staff on the floor didn't engage with the customers and only interacted with each other and their friends who came in for takeout. I have not returned since and likely won't, as I was truly disappointed. It used to be a great place, but not anymore."

"Been going here for years now and had some great meals. However last visit we were hurt and disappointed in service and meal as regular diners. Phoned to book and ensured we were getting normal lunch menu. As reason we were meeting up was not a celebration, far from it tbh. Yet when we got there were told no, only allowed Christmas lunch or go a la Carte. Obviously more expensive, we said but we booked normal lunch for our guests. Got nowhere and felt quite upset and unhappy with treatment as older gent who served us seemed quite irrate and we all had difficulty in understanding his statements. Our guests did not enjoy their meal and left much of it. Portions were very small and not well presented on this occasion. It proved to be very expensive and as Christmas menu wasn’t usual dishes we ordered had to be a la carte. At no point were we asked if we enjoyed our meal as we would have said no as quite frankly it was not their usual standard. Did think they would have noticed meal wasn’t enjoyed as quite a lot left. Obviously they didn’t care either about customer satisfaction or culinary enjoyment. Really much more than disappointed in you Mata Hari we expected better. Regret taking guests there and will never recommend or patronise you again. Poor show."

"I went to this restaurant for lunch at 12 noon on a Friday and found only a few tables filled. We were welcomed by a waitress at the cash register who told us to sit at a table at the back, even though it had a reserved sign on it. We placed our order with a waitress who did not write anything down. After waiting for 30 minutes, we asked another waitress how long our food would take, and she replied rudely that our order had only just been placed, even though it had been 30 minutes. Despite the restaurant not being busy, we were informed that there was only one chef working. When our food finally arrived, one of the tuna sandwiches had onions on it, even though we had specified one with onions and one without. We overheard the waitress complaining about us to another staff member and discussing us while looking in our direction. When my daughter complained to the manager about the service, the manager insensitively commented that it made them feel bad that we had asked about the food's preparation time. The tuna sandwich was priced at £9 and did not meet our expectations, as it was lacking in ingredients and poorly prepared. We were not charged for the uneaten sandwich. Overall, I had a terrible experience and will not be returning to this restaurant. If you enjoy being overcharged and spoken to aggressively, then this is the place for you."
"The overall experience at this restaurant was fantastic until we reached the dessert course. After being asked if we wanted dessert and given menus, the staff seemed to ignore us as they walked back and forth to the kitchen. The same waitress who initially asked us about dessert walked past us multiple times without acknowledging us. Eventually, we had to ask a different waiter for the bill, paid, and left. The food was delicious, but some staff members appeared disinterested as the evening quieted down. I would consider returning in the future, but not anytime soon."

"Friendly staff, but I'm not sure I'd return based on the complete lack of vegan options and not great coffee. I had a dish altered after a bit of back and forth so I could eat it, but it was a bit disappointing (e.g. no...dairy-free butter/margarine for the toast, just given it dry) and the coffee was very weak the flat white more like a weak latte. Without being too negative though, if you don't drink coffee (or like it on the weaker side), and aren't vegan, then it is probably a great place to eat! It was clean, the service was very good, they did not rush us out despite being busy, and the choice for meat-eaters and vegetarians is great."

"What a fabulous restaurant! The menu was comprehensive, the food was delicious, the service fantastic and the price exceptionally reasonable. We had birthday lunch with my father for his 80th birthday. We ate from the fixed-price lunch menu £20 for two courses, £25 for three) and all four of us cleared our plates of all three courses. It was absolutely delicious, faultlessly cooked from quality ingredients and beautifully presented. The staff could not do enough for us. They made a fuss of my father, printed out a special menu wishing him a happy birthday, and gladly took our cake and produced it with our coffee. It was much appreciated. The toilets were absolutely spotless. We intend to return soon and we very much look forward to it."

"Glad to have chosen Il Capriccio for the first restaurant to visit post-lockdown. Called ahead to book a slot to visit due to current distancing measures in place. Continues to serve exceptional pizza and pasta with friendly service. Restaurant is a small space but is able to social distance due to layout of tables. This results in a relaxed atmosphere. Look forward to returning soon."
"Positives location is good for Uddingston town centre and it’s close to the train station. water pressure in the shower was good. the bar restaurant was heaving when I arrived so it’s clearly a popular place. decent sized car park some nice original features stain glass etc smell of fresh paint so hopefully a sign they are doing the place up. tea and coffee making facilities in room Negatives reception experience was poor no hello how are you no questions about whether I was parked there or if I wanted breakfast. just got asked if I wanted to pay now. when I asked if i could pay when I left I was told it was better if I paid at the start. room was superficially clean but a few issues hair in the sink, rubbish left in the bin from previous guest. blood ! on the bedsheets they had been washed and it was an old stain, but not a stain you want to see. generally room was a bit tired loose door on wardrobe, shoogly drawers, cracked sink and tiles. Telly didn’t work it needed an internet connection which wasn’t working so could only watch a couple of shopping channels and some vintage comedy shows. noisy you can hear all the noise from the bar in the room so it’s noisy until about half eleven. drinks I had an amaretto when they poured it was Veroni, not a brand I recognised. turns out they sell it in Iceland for £8 a bottle. paid £8.45 for a double and a glass of soda water. breakfast still not sure if this was included. it wasn’t mentioned when I checked in. I left about 8am and again it wasn’t mentioned, and there was no sign they were set up for it. I just handed my key to the night watchman and left. price if this was £50 I’d probably not be as bothered but £93 is a lot of money to take"

"Always a popular spot. Current restrictions have limited sitting in. The hot deli sandwiches are so tasty and highly recommended. We always opt for a mixed salad box to sample the selection as all the salads are great and full of flavour. The pastries look lovely and golden. Great value for money and definitely fast becoming a regular spot when heading to Strathaven. One thing...A better soft drink selection would be great. We get the whole artisan approach...but tbh the majority are blah or yuk! Can we just have a full fat coke please.... and from the only people really justified to call it that!? I'd rather spend all my money here than buy my lunch and then head to the co-op for a decent drink. Thanks."

"I was excited to attend this restaurant for my partner's birthday due to good reviews. However, the service was extremely poor. We were only given 1 drink at the start of the meal and no offer was made for further drinks. One main meal never arrived after approximately 45 minutes, and when I asked about it, I was told the kitchen was busy and they only have 2 hands. We had to wait for another half hour for someone to take payment, only to be told that we pay on the way out and not at the table - this was not explained to us beforehand. Overall, the whole experience was disappointing and ruined what should have been a good night. We are big sushi fans, but we will not be returning to this restaurant."

"Hidden off the main road, Scottish Home Baking Awards winner 2013/ 2014, with impressive coverage in local and national papers. The Wallace Tea Rooms is large and spacious with disabled access and toilets with baby changing facilities, as well as the all important high chairs. A separate family room and additional drawing packs for children make for a more peaceful meal with young children. The cakes are unique and all baked on site, we simply had to get some to take home. The food was gorgeous and the staff were very personable and attentive. I will definitely return."

"visited this bakery during the journey through carnwath on my way to dunsyre. in the inner it looked like an old school bakery with ovens and other bakers. it was even freshly baked from the many, so that is a good sign. since I was only on the way to little sparta, I only ordered a tee and apple turnover as a snack. one of the best Apple sales I had in one. fresh cream, brownish pebbles, hard to complain. they even have sugar alternatives for my tee. the employees are also welcoming and friendly here as they would expect in a small city. the only part is that they do not accept cards, but only cash."

"was through the so booked local for a family meal, I can honestly say that eating tasted fantastic, large portion size, excellent atmosphere, and we where well served by the young waiter will go back when they go back. only a problem I could find were the starters...where served on slant? and the net on good right plates. a bit of a mismaic of style, please lose the crooked for the starters they do not fit the style of the place."
