"This place has achieved two huge things already: delicious food served up in a warm, cosy and welcoming atmosphere. And they've only been open a week! I've been watching the Scullery for a while now and couldn't wait to try it out when it opened. We visited for Friday lunch and even though it was only their third day of lunch service, it was pleasantly bustling with customers and had a really great vibe to it. There's two menus available at lunch time, one with sandwich options (ranging from £5.50 £6.25 with fillings of halloumi, chicken breast, pastrami, salmon or BLT and also the full menu which is also available at night. It was when I looked at the full menu that I knew this place would suit me perfectly I love a small plate, and I also love the idea of dishes for the table. This includes a baked camembert, cheese platter or charcuterie platter. There's a load of locally sourced items on the menu, like west coast mussels, Scottish steaks, Lanark sorbet/ice cream and George Mewes cheese. The menu is different enough to be interesting, but not so different that less adventurous eaters won't be able to find something to try. I wanted to order everything on the menu and really struggled to narrow down my options. I ended up going for the flat iron steak at £16.75 with fries, tomato, watercress and bearnaise sauce (this is why I shouldn't be allowed to go out on a Friday for lunch . In the meantime I had a cup of peppermint tea as well as a bottle of the raspberry crush which was really lovely. At the moment, the Scullery doesn't have a booze licence but I'm sure that won't be far away. For now, it's BYOB. My steak arrived and I was delighted it was a thing of beauty. The plating was absolutely amazing and I loved the bright colours of the tomato and the watercress. Thankfully it wasn't just beautiful to look at, it was also delicious. The bearnaise was super thick and decadent and served in the right proportion to the steak. The steak was cooked medium rare and while it needed a bit more seasoning, that's more due to my tastes than any fault of the kitchen. I loved the hand cut chips with the skin on and the vine tomatoes were really nicely cooked. We then opted for dessert (it was a Friday! and I had the sorbet which was super refreshing. I tried the apple and champagne flavours (did I mention it was a Friday? but there's also pear and lemon. Service was really great, the waitress we had was super chatty and a good laugh which added to the warm atmosphere of the place. She even let us try a slice of the gluten free bread when I was considering getting a sandwich for lunch. All up, lunch at the Scullery was a real delight and I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu. While this place is a little off the main Finnieston strip, it's definitely worth that extra wee wander down to try something a bit exciting."

"On holiday and parking was difficult, compounded by our chosen venue being closed as were kitchens in other pubs. Literally leaving 30 minutes before we could have received a fine we asked if we could have a meal in that time. Not only did they agree but also had no problems in offering alternatives to the menu. Sadly we had to question if the food would take much longer on one occasion, but the fault was all ours with the restricted time we gave. When it arrived it was clearly freshly cooked. My own choice of steak and Guinness pie was among the best I've had being rich and full flavoured. The crust was a very delicate puff pastry and chips were fluffy and golden and on a par with the best I've ever had (in Plymouth) We shared a spring roll starter, which again is highly recommended, with the quality matched by the presentation. It was table service and both members of staff (two ladies) could not have been more apologetic for delays although had we not been in such a rush timings would have been more than perfect. Liking to try new local ales when I'm on holiday I was slightly disappointed with the choice, although the Wainwrights was in excellent condition. It would be churlish to mark a venue down owing to an irrational personal trait though. Considering we never expected to be dining here the staff were really helpful and the quality of the food and drink excellent. We would return if in the area again."
