"This is a tough review to write, maybe my most difficult! During our holiday, we were taste-testing Fish N Chips around Scotland. On our first visit to Nardini’s, I loved the Fish N Chips—this is why we returned. Although the food was good on this first visit, the service was poor to average. When we returned, it was a nightmare. We arrived just after 11 a.m. and hoped to have lunch and ice cream outdoors again. We were told we could only be seated outdoors if we were buying ice cream in their ice cream shop. Since we wanted Fish N Chips first, we were directed to an indoor table, planning to have Fish N Chips again, ice cream later. When we attempted to order, we were told they were only serving breakfast. Because we came for Fish N Chips and ice cream, and we could sit outdoors if we ordered from their ice cream shop, we chose to have ice cream first, then have Fish N Chips when they were serving it later. So, we walked through the open double doorway to Nardini’s attached ice cream shop to order sundaes and ice cream scoops. Here, we were told they didn’t serve sundaes in the ice cream shop—these were only available in the restaurant. So, we went back to the restaurant and were seated again. When we attempted to order the sundaes and the scoops of ice cream, we were told only certain flavors were available in the restaurant. If we wanted others, we would have to go back to Nardini’s Ice cream shop through the doorway. The waiter had no empathy for the difficulties, and their crazy rules—-he wasn’t even nice. At this point, we gave up and thought they don’t even know the meaning of friendly or customer service—we came to the conclusion they really don’t want our business, so we left and won’t be back! Wish we had never returned!"

"The restaurant is conveniently located at the entrance to Calton Hill, in a beautiful building with an impressive interior dining room. The room has a high ceiling, creating a great atmosphere. Be sure to request a table in the dining room for the full experience, as there are only a few tables in the lobby area. The menu offered a variety of interesting options, making it difficult to choose. The specials were generous in portion size. All the dishes we ordered were beautifully presented and expertly prepared. The service was attentive, professional, and friendly. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience and even left the largest tip of our holiday. Highly recommended."

"We came for our Christmas Dinner, which as you can imagine was pretty expensive. Having processed the whole thing a few days later, I can only conclude we were badly ripped off. The best thing I can say about it is that the staff are very nice and friendly, there was a fun atmosphere in there, but the food was the stuff of school meals. For starters we all had pate. Pate and toast is impossible to mess up. Following that, came the Christmas fayre, I had turkey with all the trimmings. Firstly, you had to put up with it arriving with gravy all over it, and none extra in a gravy boat. The kids did not want gravy but I wasn 't about to start scraping it off onto my plate. The first massive disappointment was the Brussels sprouts, two of which were quite hard, some a little softer, but none cooked enough to be fit for Christmas dinner. I know it isn 't the fashion to boil veg to death these days, but neither should it be raw. The carrots weren 't much better, large under-cooked slices. There were two types of potatoes, boiled and roasted. If you 're going to do two, I prefer mash. However, if it were to continue in school meal style mash would be worse. It would probably arrive looking like it had been put on with an ice cream scoop just like at school. The turkey meat was tough as old boots. Usually the fault with turkey is dryness, but somehow it was very chewy and in thick slices. There was a lot of it. I mean, LOADS. Absolutely loads. The roast potatoes were curious. One of the kids said they were like Spanish chips by which she means patatas bravas. And they were. They tasted nothing like roast potatoes. The smell reminded me so much of school dinners. Potatoes from a British canteen. The desserts were alright, after all, you can 't really mess up a cheesecake you bought from a supermarket. The blob of whipped cream from a can was less than generous though. On the way home, I started to realise I 'd been had. For what we paid in there, we could have had an evening out in a proper French Bistro in San Sebastien, chomping on moules and langoustines cooked by a Michelin star chef. I did enjoy the general atmosphere. It is a very British place and that was pleasant. To share with my countrymen the meal that most represents our national character made it worthwhile. I also hate cooking Christmas Dinner these days. It did, however, remind me not to take my kids reaction to my Christmas Dinner too personally. They didn 't eat much of this one, either. At least I do eat my own and it is made to my liking. We may be staying home next year. I 'll save my pennies for the next time we 're in a country where the natives can cook."

"had the snowball sundae for delivery as well as the friendly sundae and a few other items, was absolutely amazing and worth waiting. we sit in the usually liked in vanilla joe’s but had decided to have a wee tasty, during a film at...home, the only case if it is ordered after a certain time in the night, as there is no set delivery time that they wait one. we will not, however, stop from ordering and return to the shop as we are really happy to come here and support a local business."

"I’ve been a fan of Morellis for the best part of half a century and thought that I had tasted all that the famous brand had to offer. Recently a friend who lives in Portstewart suggested that I try the whipped ice cream that is exclusive to the happy little shop ‘Morellis to go’. Stepping inside the bright, happy little shop is like stepping into an Italian gelateria. The tiny little shop festooned with its vibrant murals and brightly coloured furniture bears testimony to its rich Italian heritage. This shop is all about ice cream. Look closely and a little way behind the myriad of ice cream, smiling at you from the cabinets, and you will see a simple little nondescript machine that churns out the most delicious homemade ice cream. Clearly the whipped ice cream is a secret that the locals like to keep for themselves. Seems I was especially lucky to be there on a day (and several times since) when the whipped Ice Cream had been made with award winning abernethy butter. Be warned you will want to return many times to this fabulous gelateria."

"esse with the atmosphere of my man was well ordered the pate that was so that my man had the suppe that was in order, but he could not finish it. I had that the burger could only manage the half of it, was dry and hard that my man didn't make his eyes mad, said it was okay. when the waitress realized that the table did not notice that my teller was hardly touched, bad service. to a beautiful place above the price for what was served."

"Absolutely appalling ! So gutted as we come to hucks every time we’re in center parcs and never had an issue however, this time on our second to last night ruined the holiday. Firstly, we waited around 20 minutes for drinks to arrive then a while after food, and when it did arrive majority of it was cold and we was still waiting on one meal. Everyone was half way through their meals before a waitress came over to see if everything was ok, which is when we said the chicken fajitas hadn’t turned up. About 5/10 mins after that they did. I didn’t think much of it until 2.00am that morning when I was non stop throwing up for the next 24hours. I had got food poisoning from the chicken, so wether they had forgot it was there and quickly reheated it or just quickly made it and not been cocked long enough. I spend my last 2 days being sick and didn’t leave the room. One thing I will say is the waitress was amazing, as she understood our frustrations to the cold and delayed food and gave us 20% off the bill, however didn’t make up for the pain that was caused. I then went on to call center parcs as I would never want this to happen to anyone else and they didn’t help much at all. I would avoid going to this restaurant at all costs."

"Hadn't been in for a while and decided to try again. Glad we did. The whale and surf and turf we ordered were delicious and cooked to perfection. We received excellent service and attention throughout our entire visit. I wont be leaving it so long before I return."
