"**Atmosphere:** The restaurant is small but feels cozy without being cramped. On this visit, we were seated at a lovely window table, which made for an inviting and comfortable experience. When it gets busy, the atmosphere is lively, and the music is at just the right volume to enhance the ambiance without turning into a shouting match. Perfect! **Food:** We were there to celebrate my daughter's 30th birthday with a party of five. For starters, we tried the Summer BBQ Picanha steak, scallops, buffalo mozzarella salad, and Iberian Black Pig Char Siu. I sampled a bit of everything, and they were all delicious, with the Summer BBQ steak standing out. For our main courses, we had monkfish, three Picanha steaks, and BBQ Maple chicken—again, everything was delightful, but the monkfish was truly exceptional. Our sides included truffle chips, rooster chips, tempura broccoli, and roasted sweet corn, all complementing the meal perfectly. Desserts featured sticky toffee pudding, burnt Basque cheesecake, grilled pineapple, chocolate with white port, and a cheese selection. I only managed to try the cheese, as everyone was enjoying their desserts too much to share! We enjoyed a few expertly crafted cocktails, the Quickening Shiraz from a thoughtfully curated wine list, and some dessert wines and port to accompany our sweets—all were fantastic. The portion sizes were just right, making three courses manageable. **Service:** This is where the family-run nature of the restaurant truly shines. The service is polite, friendly, attentive, and laid-back. Our visit felt leisurely, and I never felt rushed, even when the restaurant was busy. The staff checked in on us just the right amount to ensure we were enjoying our meals, and I truly appreciated that there was no pressure to order more drinks or any upselling—just a thoroughly enjoyable experience overall. **Additional Insights:** The restaurant is reasonably easy to access, with only a small step at the entrance, and the interior is spotless and well-maintained. The stone walls add to the charming atmosphere, and the rear wall has a unique texture that invites touch—you really have to experience it yourself. The restrooms are immaculate as well. **Disclaimer:** My wife and I have visited Jack O'Bryan's several times since moving to Dunfermline, and while we consider it a special treat, we often find ourselves looking for excuses to indulge a bit more frequently than we probably should. However, this consistency in the quality of food, service, and atmosphere is why we keep returning. **Final Tips:** The menu changes seasonally, so it’s a good idea to check their website to see what’s available. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially for weekends, as it’s essential to secure a table. Keep up the great work, Jack O'Bryan's!"

Wow is all I can say 3 of us went for food and from the minute you walk in the staff were so friendly and very attentive. The food is some of the best food I have ever had in my life perfectly cooked and the presentation was amazing. What a hidden gem this place is and would 100% be back again and again.

My wife and I visited for the first time recently, and we couldn't find a single fault, especially with the food. It was absolutely incredible—how they managed to make broccoli taste so good is beyond me! We certainly didn’t ignore the rest of the menu, which was just as impressive. We give Jack 'o' Bryans a perfect 10/10 and will definitely be returning. Best regards, Mrs. Stobbs. Food rating: 5. View menu

The restaurant is well-maintained and offers an extensive menu. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff is friendly. The food was delicious, and the coffee was excellent. I recommend making a reservation in advance, as most tables were occupied on Sunday. While the prices are higher than those at a pub or chain restaurant, I found them to be reasonable for the quality offered. I absolutely loved this place!

I and my girl went to lunch today. we both asked about the steak sandwich. the waiter kindly said that it would be moderately rare and asked if that were in order. She asked to do it well, and he said it would not be possible because it would endanger eating. this is a sign of an excellent place with integrity and respect for the hard work of the cook. Of course I love it medium-sized rare and she is not the biggest fan, but we have ordered it anyway. I can't express with words how incredibly tasty that was eating. trust me, this place is the best in the city! perfect eating and very good service! every penny worth!
