"The food arrived cold at the table, and the chips we ordered for the baby were covered in salt. Overall, it was a really disappointing meal, and I've had poor service here in the past as well."

"We booked a table for 18:30. First issue was our table wasn’t ready for us, second issue was there was lots of people standing around us allowing us not to enjoy our meal and the final issue was the food itself, the haggis and steak burger was horrendous not one of my friends finished it, there was a massive hair in my own and they were all dry, I asked specifically for my burger to be plain with cheese haggis and steak I received none of that. The man who served us wasn’t interested at all, and the food came very fast showing us that it was reheats."

"We had a great experience at a special York restaurant called Wash Deal. The food was delicious and good value for money. We were happy with our choice to dine there. The starters we had, cauliflower and cheese soup, and lamb koftas, were both excellent. The main meat dish (pork) was good, but the vegetable option (mushroom pearl risotto) was a bit dry and overwhelming. The chocolate parfait dessert was the standout for us, while the panna cotta had a more subtle taste. The wine options were nice and the staff were friendly. We were fortunate to have a proper table to sit at, as some diners were on high bar tables that were not as comfortable. Overall, we felt that the standard menu was a bit pricey compared to the set menu, and there weren't many options for those with a sweet tooth. It seems to be a better choice for meat lovers."

"The kitchen at this restaurant serves subpar food and relies on its young staff to explain the disappointing dishes. For example, the pea puree on the Monkfish Scampi was identical to mushy peas on the Haddock Chips, and fries were served instead of chips with the steak because the kitchen had run out of chips. The menu advertised hand-cut chips, but it seems they ran out of potatoes as well. The "Artisan cheese and Arran crackers" turned out to be generic cheese and Jacobs crackers with no chutney. The chocolate fondant was not oozing as expected and came with cherries instead of peanut brittle. The ice cream was vanilla instead of the advertised peanut butter. This may be acceptable for large groups of golfers on a set menu, but for a couple staying for two nights looking to enjoy the hotel and area, it was disappointing. On the first night, we had to settle for our fourth choice of white wine as they didn't have our first three choices. It was strange to not have a wine list and to be missing 25% of the wines. The sourdough bread on the menu with Cullen Skink turned out to be a mini Hovis loaf, which felt like an insult from the kitchen and management. These issues were brought to the attention of the Operations Manager upon departure, as it was not the fault of the young serving staff. Our experience has left us feeling that the brand image has been tarnished, and we will not be returning to another MacDonalds restaurant."
