"I hope that this review is taken in the manner in which it is intended. A college restaurant where students in the hospitality sector show off their skills. Fair to say that the level of service you receive will be determined by the level of experience of the student. Food wise, we enjoyed a three course meal for lunch with coffee and mince pies to follow at the princely sum if £23.95pp! Not too shabby. A simple menu with 4 choices per course, the food was beautifully prepared and presented. Our only quibble was that my wife’s mash was quite cool. That apart, it was well portioned and tasty. Service obviously some of the students are very new to dealing and interacting with the public. Can I offer some positive criticism: Don’t be scared to interact with the customer. Obviously this depends on the mood or manner of the diner. This will come in time. People enjoy eating out and part of the job is to put them at ease. Smile! It’s amazing how a cheery face can brighten the mood and put both diner and assistant at ease. Ask , after a discreet interval, if all is satisfactory. But don’t predict their reply will always be positive. Be ready to accept a query or a negative response so that you can react accordingly. Find out as much as you can about the dishes on offer , the drinks etc. you won’t know everything, but be prepared for such questions and do some research beforehand. You are the link between the customer and the and the restaurant. Of course all of this will come in time All in all , a lovely clean place with good food on offer at a reasonable price. Well done."

The food was excellently prepared and tasted incredible. The service was also great. They accommodated their 5 plate tasting menu to be vegan for me at late notice.

My partner and I had a lunch on 24/10/23. It was delicious. A good selection of courses. We had the three course lunch. We have been here several times in the past and have never been disappointed. We both agreed the bill was good value. We found the staff to be lovely. Polite and attentive. We will definitely return soon and would recommend the restaurant to everyone we meet View menu

We decided to try the gallery at forth valley college for something different, and my god it was brilliant, the students looked after us from the moment we arrived and couldn’t have been more helpful, the food was great and the price incredible so give it a try. My only regret was not having cash to leave a tip as any money put on the card goes to the Scottish Govt so I’m taking cash next time.

A first time visit to The Gallery and we will be going again (we have already booked Christmas Lunch). Fantastic service from the students and a lovely meal which we thoroughly enjoyed. The students are a credit to the college and we want to especially thank Neve who welcomed us and served most of our courses. The quality of the meals is superb and we highly recommend all three courses. The dessert (Pannacotta) was outstanding.

As a frequent customer, I always enjoy going to the gallery, especially on a Friday where the menu is typically given an extra special touch. The staff, mainly students, are always nice and easy to talk to (unless it is their first week, in which case a little shy and nervous, which is understable) The views overlooking Wallace monument are always picturesque. To summarise, you get more than what you pay for, which is a nice change! View menu
