"So disappointed in the service we received after stopping off for lunch on a Saturday. Initially we were shown to a table which was nice and efficient, but sadly after that it went downhill rapidly. Firstly three other obviously Local) families and couples who had arrived after us were served and their orders taken. Ok so have patience and wait, but not for another 25 minutes. On not waiting any longer went to the counter and told the waiting personnel that we were leaving and the reason why, and the reaction a shrug of the shoulders and a smirk on his face, not exactly the response I had been expecting. We continued the discussion which going by the way the conversation was going was not going to prove fruitful. The result was all the staff young and old did not seem to care which is very disappointing. On the way out one young lad told me that we would now be served as a matter of Priority, sorry too late. The lack of anyone senior taking control and overseeing the delivery of orders being taken and delivered in a timely fashion was none existent. Like I said have been on multiple occasions and all has been first class, but sadly will not be returning. Many thanks for the service and excellent food on all our previous visits, will now have to look for somewhere else."

We enjoyed our annual Christmas Afternoon Tea at this restaurant. The service, food, and atmosphere were all fantastic, creating a relaxing and friendly experience. We look forward to returning in 2024.

This restaurant is fantastic - very tranquil, with top-notch food and excellent service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. The dishes were incredibly tasty and there was a wide variety to choose from.

We received excellent service from the very friendly young waiters during our visit for the bubbly afternoon tea. The selection was fantastic and we even got a goody box to take home. I highly recommend paying a visit to this restaurant.

The food was yummy. We enjoyed the afternoon tea. The cost is more than fair as compared to other tea services that easily charge double. You get quality food and you can taste the freshness. The service is wonderful and the staff seem to genuinely like being there.

Visited the Walled Garden Cafe after seeing some excellent reviews on line. Menu did look very enticing but service was non-existent! Came in and picked up menus, told staff we were outside, ‘no problem’ they said. We waited 15 mins. Came back inside and said could we place an order please, staff said they would be ‘two seconds’ so went back outside. 10 minutes later, we gave up and went to The Quaich in town. Would have been one star but we did buy some fresh fruit from the stall on the way out which was delicious. Highly recommend that bit!

Had a cheese board and charcuterie board £31.95 for two. Overpriced and mediocre. Very stale bread so hard someone had heated it a little to improve it. Certainly wasn't left from the previous day. There on Wednesday and cafe is closed Monday/Tuesday. Had it been left from the weekend! I mentioned this to staff and waitress was very offhand. Mumbled something incoherent about getting the wrong bread. I asked her to bring us more oatcakes to replace bread as there were only two on the cheese board. She did but no real apology. Service was dreadful waited ages to have our order taken and was on the point of leaving when someone came to our table. When I went to pay the bill she asked if I woul...

"Genuinely couldn't fault the experience. When I heard that the Drouthy had a new menu focusing more on a veggie and vegan base, I knew I had to give it a whirl. The starter of hot Smoked salmon with lemon creme fraiche and oatcakes was simple yet packed full of flavour. I could have easily have had 10 plates of that and been happy to give it 5 stars. My partner had the smoked duck and even though I have given up meat, I was salivating at the look of their dish. They assure me that it was as delicious as it looked. Served with lavender roasted potatoes (which I'm told were amazing and charred salsify. The mains were more than a match for the brilliant starters. If I could give one piece of advice, it would be get the beetroot risotto. Not being a massive fan of beetroot, I wasn't too sure about it. But the incredibly warm waiter (for my son's, I never got his name. I only hope he can forgive me if he reads this! assured me it was tasty. He was not wrong. Beautifully cooked vegan risotto with balsamic beetroot chunks, shiitake mushrooms and rocket, it was simply divine. WHEN I go back, I'll be hard pressed to go for anything else because it was so delicious. It was creamy, packed full of flavour and cooked absolutely perfectly. Just the right amount of bite, nowhere near being mush like you get in a lot of other places (who charge a lot more, by the way . Superb. The highest of compliments to the chef. I was so taken by my dish I forgot to ask how my partner's was until I had eaten all of mine. But their home made vegan tagliatelle had disappeared from the plate so it must have been amazing. I couldn't handle dessert so had a delicious ruby port (delaforce I think it was called , and I would also like to give credit to whoever came up with their wine list. It covered every single base and no-one could ever be disappointed. Finally, if you're ever in Elgin, please make sure this is one of your destinations. You will leave extremely happy."
