"love the location in craufurdland estate. it is beautiful next to the lochan. not surprised that they fish there in the sun. the lairds table is quite expensive. the place where they would book for a special celebration. at the entrance for the fishermen there is also a large Wee café. they can have a cuppa cake, or hot/cold roll etc. much cheaper. between the restaurant caffe are the toilets. ladies, gents 1 disabled."

"I recently dined at this establishment for breakfast, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food was impressive, earning a solid 4 out of 5. The service was also commendable, with attentive staff that contributed positively to my meal. However, the atmosphere left something to be desired, scoring only a 2. It felt a bit lacking in ambiance, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. The price per person was reasonable, falling between £10 and £20. All in all, it's a good spot for a satisfying breakfast, but a more inviting atmosphere would elevate the experience."

"To be honest... bitterly bitterly disappointed. The menu looked and sounded so good, however, the standard and quality of food is nowhere near restaurant quality. If it was a greasy spoon cafe I'd have given three stars but for an alleged speciality pizza and burger diner it's a big fail.Waiting staff were polite and smiley and can't fault them on that, but attention and observations needed for great waiting staff wasn't there.The taste of the food was okay, it wasn't anywhere near what you'd expect.We ordered cheesy chilli nachos as a starter as well as cheesy chips. On the menu described the nachos as being handcut... that must be urban slang for Aldi's basic tortilla chips, smothered in a greasy watery mince covered with some liquid cheese. At least there was plenty of fresh chopped chillis as that was the only part that had flavour, they must have had over ordered the fresh chilli's which I'll explain shortly. Chips were again straight from Aldis frozen section and had the taste of actually being from the oven rather a fryer, smothered in the same liquid cheese and with fresh cut chillis on top?!?Pizza was okay but had suffered from sitting under a heat lamp too long and this can be said for the chicken burger as well.. brioche bun stale and dry chicken over done.The worst offender of the night was the creamy cajun chicken pasta dish that my daughter ordered. This is where the query about the chilli over order comes in... the top of the dish was layered in fresh cut red chillis which in the menu was no mention of. The title of creamy could also be called into question as the amount of oil at the bottom of the dish was curdling anything creamy. The pasta had been boiled then added to a frying pan that was cooking the peppers,onions and chicken in a sea of oil then tossed in with what ever tiny amount of cream and spice they had then straight into a bowl and served. Again like before the taste wasn't terrible however was more like what your Nan would serve on her first attempt at cooking with pasta and olive oil, when her special is mince and tatties.The problem is, on looking at the kitchen staff I can't bring myself to use the words chefs) they certainly give the appearance of not being skilled or anywhere near experienced. If someone had said the week earlier they were actually part of the Standalane rail bridge repair crew I wouldn't have doubted it. That's it in a nutshell, no actual proper chef would prepare or even allow waiting staff to present these dishes to customers. If Gordon Ramsey had popped out of the toilets and was filming an episode of Kitchen Nightmares it would have all made sense.I have made some humour to this post however they definitely need an experienced member of waiting staff to supervise the floor and an actual chef or two in the kitchen...There was plenty of other complaints but you get the jist... just not very good.The first pic is the chips all the chillis around the side are actually from the pasta dish the excess ones she couldn't eat for fear of burning out her taste buds. The starters were still left on the table when they delivered the mains"

"Meenas Fine Indian! I've heard great things about that place. The food there is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavourful dishes and starters to choose from. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a nice meal with friends or family. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent service. I highly recommend trying their butter chicken and garlic naan – they're simply mouthwatering! Overall, Meenas Fine Indian is a fantastic choice for a delightful Indian dining experience.

"The food is lovely here, however they need to fix the service aspect of the restaurant as it was absolutely atrocious. There were 3 waiting staff, all young boys and another lad dressed in black who was trying his best, there was no direction, there was no management support, there was a man who was suited who popped in twice but never stayed and helped, the poor young boys seemed out of their depth. We ordered our meal when they came to take our initial drinks order as already I observed they seemed to be undirected. The starters and mains arrived timely, then when they came to take away our empty main course plates we asked for dessert menus, 45 minutes later we were still waiting, we managed to get one of the boys attention as they all go around with their heads down, not observing what is happening around them at all. We then were left with our menus for another 15 minutes, which at this point I had had enough, I said to the young lad in black when we got his attention and he came over that no we now didn't want any desserts, as we had been waiting about an hour to get them. He shrugged, went and got the bill and put it on our table, no apologies, no interaction, nothing, customer service non existent. I went and complained to the hotel receptionist on leaving, she apologised and said she would pass onto management. I hope she did, as the service received did the hotel a total dis service, and I and my family are local and regulars here."
