"Booked a table for lunch at 12.30pm on my wife's birthday. Arrived in time to be seated at 12.30pm and ordered drinks when we received the menus and were informed of the specials shortly afterwards. When the drinks arrived (I guess about 12.40, but I wasn't clockwatching at that point, we were asked if we would like to order, to which I replied Yes. We chatted and waited. And waited ... At 1pm I had to leave the table and approach the bar area and ask if we could please order. The reply was curt, rude and affirmative. Finally, some one arrived to take our order. I ordered the lamb rump only to be told that it wasn't available as every restaurant in Scotland was struggling to get lamb. Unfortunately the lamb rump is the first thing on the Mains list and I hadn't looked at the rest of the menu, as we hadn't been told 30+ minutes earlier when given the menus that it wasn't available. So there was a further delay in our order as I had to choose, silently fuming. We finally ordered and our food finally arrived at 13.40pm. The food was fine, but lunch was already ruined for me as I dislike sloppy service (who doesn't) and I particularly dislike being lied to (again, who doesn't). It may be true that their supplier had let them down with their lamb delivery, but the whole of Scotland? Please, your customers are not idiots, don't treat them like they are."

Excellent service and great coffee, a strange way to celebrate a big Scotland win, but current restrictions make it necessary.

I had an amazing lunch today at this restaurant. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The menu had a great selection and the service was top-notch. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food.

I was staying at the hotel and it was a little after 6 p.m when I walked down to the restaurant, looking for a bite. The young lady who greeted me was unimpressed that I had not bothered to make a reservation in advance....

Visited the Blues Restaurant on Monday night, took advantage of the 25% discount!! The food was amazing, I had a fillet steak and it was cooked to perfection. My wife had the Cod which she thoroughly enjoyed. The waiting staff were very attentive and we...

We both ordered the lamb rump which was advertised as coming with crushed potatoes and greens. The lamb rump was perfectly cooked, as were the potatoes. BUT the potatoes were skin on roasted, not crushed, and the greens were green beans and tender stem broccoli...

The restaurant is located inside The Park Hotel. I have visited before and it is always bustling. This visit was no different - despite the crowds, they managed to find me a table for one. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the bill was surprisingly low, at under £40 for three fantastic courses. Exceptional value for money. Nothing more needs to be said.

It's been a wee while since I visited but the food is still good and the service still friendly. The menu is really nice, food is good, service is friendly and although it was quite busy we didn't have to wait for long before it arrived. The baked Oreo cheesecake was the best cheesecake I've ever tasted in my life, as was the ice cream it came with. It was so good! Vhari who served us was really friendly.

My husband and I booked dinner at Blues in the middle of November (to celebrate both of our birthdays). We visit the coffee shop often and haven’t actually had dinner at Blues since the location of the restaurant moved to the ground floor. We think it was a good move to relocate the restaurant. It feels more intimate and cosier. The food was fantastic, it really was. Starter, main and dessert did not disappoint. When we asked to delay the main for a wee quarter of an hour, it was no trouble. The staff were engaging and pleasant. The only reason I have given 4 stars rather than 5 is that, for us, the wine list is poor. Increase the choice of quality wines and, for me, the restaurant is easily...

Decided to pop up the road for a wee walk , dinner and a few drinks. Didn't have a booking on a Saturday late afternoon and this was not a problem. The server explained that we could eat but they had books at 1730 so would need to table back. This was a good 2hrs away so plenty of time for us to have our meal. To start the haggis bon bons were lovely and also the path was good and plenty of it. Mains we both had the Cajun chicken breast and a side portion of skinny fries. Tasted lovely and cooked very well although we both couldn't finish it and asked for a doggy bag which was good cause we didn't want it going to waste. Had a few drinks with dinner and given the price of everything is up no...

"My husband and I bought an itison voucher for brunch for £29 for The Sorn Inn. When we arrived at 12 we were the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered the eggs benedict with the sauce on the side and my husband ordered the full scottish breakfast. We had to wait a while, I'm unsure how long exactly but we weren't too bothered as we thought our food was all being made fresh. When it arrived, my husband's food look really nice. No complaints there. My eggs benedict consisted of 2 cold toasted slices of bloomer bread. One with 1 slice of fried bacon on it and the other with 1 poached egg. The hollandaise sauce was in fact mayonnaise. I called the waitress over and told her this wasn't what I ordered. I ordered eggs benedict which was stated on the menu as a toasted muffin, ham and poached eggs with a hollandaise sauce. She was lovely. She apologised and said she would take it back to the kitchen. After she done this she returned and said that there was no muffins left and would I like to order something else. By this point my husband was halfway through his breakfast. Why was eggs benedict even on the menu if there were no muffins?? I told the waitress I would have the full scottish breakfast then. By this time there was 2 other tables filled and the eggs benedictwas still being sold. Our waitress brought me over another coffee while I waited on my breakfast. It wasn't quick. It was alright when it arrived. But not great. The toast was still cold and there wasn't any butter. Zoe our waitress was wonderful. Whatever the owners are paying her, just isn't enough. She was apologetic, attentive and calm under pressure. Why didn't the chef tell Zoe to take the eggs benedict off the menu as it was still being sold when we were leaving. What kind of chef thinks cold toast, bacon and mayo is eggs benedict? We have been to the Sorn Inn on numerous times before and the food has been outstanding. Such a shame as we do like to eat out and support local and smaller restaurants but we won't be hurrying back."
