"I visited this restaurant again with my father recently. While I still found the food to be good but not exceptional, I was pleased to see that the service had improved significantly."

"My first course had 3 slices of bread with a selection of toppings. 1 was OK (mushrooms in cream) the other 2 were diced tomato and something which was tasteless and both were pointless and uninteresting. With my main course the sauce around the dome of pasta and meatballs was cold, and even after it was bought back to me it was barely warm. The dessert panettone bread pudding was a triumph."

"4 courses taking nearly 4 hours, sub-standard food as well as the establishment thinking they can charge £150 per person. We arrived just after 12 and were sat in a room that ultimately would contain around 34 persons. Not too much of a challenge one might think Bringing out the bread for the table (with some very nice vol-au-vents) took around 15 minutes. And then we waited for our starters, and waited until around 1pm. Whilst the starters were to an acceptable standard then the long wait began. It was not just us but the whole room. Eventually the main course arrived at around 2.45. Now I do not mind taking a long lunch but this was ridiculous. However, having flown half way around the world for a traditional Xmas lunch whilst in UK the quality of the food was worse than one can do at home. The turkey was not even carved from the bird, it was one of those roll things that is bought in supermarkets and had obviously been frozen as it was soo dry. Likewise the stuffing. The gravy was thin and watery and obviously not made with the cooking juice run-off. The roast potatoes were over par-boiled and under roasted. The Brussels had not been sliced at the base and as such the stems were underdone. I even had to ask the waiter for cranberry sauce (twice). The only redeeming feature was the quantity but the dryness of it all almost caused me to gag. It was also obvious that all tables were similarly suffering and one table left early after a contretemps with the staff. Then there was the appalling service. The 2 male waiters were straight out of an episode of 'Fawlty Towers '. When the coffee came and my wife asked for sugar I had to go to the servers to get him to bring….. and then did not even think to offer a teaspoon. When I asked them to remove a 4 foot cobweb hanging from the upper wall light they looked at me as if they did not know what I was talking about. After having tried to hurry along the deserts and coffee it was almost 4 hours before we could leave."

"First time at Jamie's in Guildfird. Booked on line mentioning it was my husband's birthday and he was very excited(! , but no one took any notice, so not sure why they asked if it was a special occasion visit! Lovely decor and friendly service. However, children's portions are hysterically small! When the sausage in a roll and burgers appeared I actually snorted with laughter! They were smaller than my hand with five undercooked crinkled lumps! Adult food good but not outstanding, puddings were, however, delicious!! I know it's ITALIAN so kids food like sausages and burgers a pain to cook, but don't put it on menu if it's silly size (in my opinion other opinions may differ!"

"Totally not what I expected. Big fan of Jamie's cooking however the food last Sunday eve was not the quality you would expect. Pizza was thin you could see the plate peak through the centre..the shrimp linguine was drowning in sauce and pasta was way overcooked. The service was lacking as well...staff looked tired and disinterested and the waitress placed the bill bang in the middle of the table as soon as we put the dessert spoon down. I understand they were close to closing time but the table next to us was still have their mains!"

"the enthusiasm of the birthday party we arrived has tied around the restaurant, which makes the conversation quite difficult, but it soon went back and the ambiente improved something. both our main, lasagne and meatballs, came unconsistently heated. the lasagne was in sharing hot and cool in others. the meatballs were simply piercable, although the pasta was hotly pierced. it was late, we were hungry, so not a fuss made, but it is fair to say that the food prep was sub standard and disappointing."

"the floor was dirty and was not cleaned. we had 3 meals and 2 were in order, but my aubergines were not cooked enough. Although I was complaining when they chew, the waiter said he would mention it at the chef. he didn't come back with an answer, so I had to ask him what the cook had said. he said that the cook had said that because they cooked unevenly, but there was no excuse. I think that was a bad customer service in the name of the cook."
"Jamie’s italian in merchant city is known in Great Britain. we went to dinner on Tuesday. the place was almost empty. we waited a few minutes before sitting.The decor is nice and cozy. the staff is very friendly and helpful. br/>We ordered various dishes as we were several. I personally had the Spinat ravioli. it was good, the sauce was a bit heavy, but overall it is a good dish to order. the desserts are very tasty. the icy laces are however very small."

"Atmosphere good, staff friendly. Although food arrived hot, the pasta was crunchy and still raw throughout. On one of our dishes, it was sliced steak, and when asked what it came with? We were told rice. Ten minutes later the waiter came back to explain it actually came with pasta. When the steak arrived there was no pasta in sight. When asked where's the pasta, they said it doesn't come with anything. Therefore we ended up ordering chips. By the time the chips arrived our guest had virtually finished their steak."
"the ambiente is beautiful and the personal was efficient and friendly. eating was quite average, nothing particularly excellent, even if we had dessert, pasta and pasta. starter and dessert but better than pasta. gnocchi and tottellini were both disappointing and definitiw not their high prices worth."

"The restaurant did not have a record of our booking or acknowledge any special occasion we had mentioned when booking. The server was unfriendly and the food was not up to standard. The garlic bread was burnt and the beef pasta was only warm, when it should have been hotter. Additionally, the staff were seen hanging around and complaining about their job."

"The service at this restaurant was excellent. However, the food was extremely disappointing. The "chips" were actually bland chunks of potato, the meatballs were undercooked, and the overall dining experience was terrible. I would not recommend this place to anyone."

"Our server, Iryna, was incredibly friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. Her recommendations were spot on and made our meal truly exceptional. The seafood salad was unlike anything we had experienced before, but Iryna encouraged us to give it a try, and it was fantastic. The flavors and the sauce combined perfectly. Although my wife typically doesn't enjoy beets, she ended up eating half of hers because they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the small seafood linguine, which was definitely fresh and cooked in fish stock instead of the usual cream sauce. The seasoning was absolutely brilliant, and everything came together flawlessly. She also appreciated the perfect portion size; although she could have eaten more, she wanted to save room for dessert. To be honest, I found myself a bit envious of her dish and wished there was more to share. Not that I disliked my own meal, because I truly loved it. The pulled lamb was braised in a generous amount of red wine, and Iryna was right—while you could taste the wine, there was no overpowering alcohol flavor, just rich aromas. The pasta was cooked just right, and the lamb was tender and delicious. I could have easily eaten more, but I wanted to save space for dessert too. After discussing our options, we ultimately decided on the botanical dessert. Normally, we would have tried everything, but since we had lunch just three hours prior, we had to be mindful. The Botanical was the perfect choice to end our meal. The chocolate mousse coated in chocolate was just the right amount of sweet, not overwhelming at all. Paired with ice cream and toffee sauce, every spoonful had us saying "mmmmm.""

"Popped in for some food before a gig in town. The fixed menu at £11.95 for two courses excellent value and it wasn’t basic dishes I had calamari and steak bavette with rocket/basil/Parmesan. Couple of draught beers that weren’t on the menu that were worth checking out. A lager and a hoppier version as well. The location of the restaurant right at Momument ideal for a grab of food on a night out. Service was sometimes less attentive than it could be but overall a nice meal to start the night with."
"Incredibly disappointing. Nothing inventive here, just going through the paces and picking up tourists like us in the process. not sure how they garner the reviews they do. There was nothing wrong with our food, it was all prepared adequately, served adequately...but for what it was, we could have done much, much better! I 'm just disappointed to have wasted one meal in here, when we could have gone to a real artisan gem. Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk."
"After having tried the Pollokshaws branch for a few years, we finally tried the Giffnock one and it didn’t disappoint! Everything is so tasty and the quality of meat is superb. Every takeaway we have had has been consistently good. The guys are also lovely to deal with. Great service."

"Let's go straight to the point: the pizza is amazing. But I'm not talking about any pizza, I'm talking about the Four Cheese Truffle pizza. It's out of this world, it really blew my mind. I also ordered some Calabrian Chilli potatoes to start and finished with their Tiramissu, which I must say, was much, much better than my highest expectations, I loved it. Great place for groups, lunch time is more quiet but night time gets pretty noisy.I'd make a reservation for dinner, including weekdays, but surely on weekends.Totally recommend this place, great environment, great food."

"The pizza was decent, but the service was extremely poor. We requested water for our wine and were given just a small glass of lukewarm tap water. As we were eating, our condiments were taken off our table and given to another group. My plate was cleared even though my dining companion was still eating. The moment she finished her meal, the waiter swiftly cleared our table. We felt rushed and had a negative experience, despite the restaurant only being half full."

"Very pleasant Italian food.Quite small so very noisy when full plus very loud music. Why oh why do Italian restaurants never give you enough Parmesan and have condiments on the table. There was too much tomato sauce on the bolognese and a shame they could not make an affagato,as it is only a scoop of icecream with a shot of espresso added.Indeed all the deserts were not homemade. The pizzas were excellent. The waiter is charming and attentive."
