"Arranging the team Christmas Dinner is often an affair fraught with danger. A group of people you 've known for over 15 years who have developed their own personal tastes, likes and dislikes. Whilst a Dominos and a half dozen cases of Blue WKD would have previously passed muster we have somewhat matured and as such our Christmas nights out have been getting progressively fancier over the last 5 years. With a mixed group of tastes varying from the adventurous to the not so, and knowing that it 's just around the corner from my flat, I booked a table at the McMillan. First things first, it was amazing value at £26 for 3 courses. As anyone who 's visited the McMillan will know you often do well to get a main alone for that price when you 're pushing the boat out. It was busy but the atmosphere was just right for Christmas without feeling suffocating. Whilst the pianist is an oft underrated part of any restaurant ambience. Each course had four choices to pick from. For my starter I had a confit duck salad which was wonderfully lifted with some pickled vegetables. I also tried my friends grilled polenta with brie and house salsa which was also very tasty. For main I shunned the traditional turkey dinner (having already eaten 3 by that point of the week! in favour of braised beef shin with mashed potato, picked carrots and bone marrow bread pudding. That 's right BONE. MARROW. BREAD. PUDDING. It was, and my apologies for the slight profanity here, the dugs baws! I now demand I have this as an accompaniment with any slab of meat I eat. The beef shin, carrots and gravy were also spot on and as a whole dish it was really great. Not being a dessert fan I went for cheese and biscuits and whilst the selection was rather uninspiring with cheddar, stilton and brie there was enough biscuits on my plate which for some reason kitchens have great difficulty parting with when it comes to serving up a cheese course. They have a varied bar menu full of whiksy, gin, beers and cocktails and the waiting staff, bar one rather 'intense ' chap, were great and joined in our special blend of nonsense when asked, I really like it in here and as Christmas dinners go it was an absolute win for me. I noticed they do a steak and wine for two night during the week for £30, if I could jsut meet the love of my life I"

I love their Cajun chicken burgers, always so delicious. The only thing I'm not very happy about is that they took the crème brûlée off their menu, me and my kids loved the crème brûlée.

Steakhouse menu with some modern Scottish starters. We went for the bacon cheeseburger but asked for the BBQ sauce to be substituted for bacon jam. Inspirational choice guys this burger is phenomenal. Do it. Lovely staff and a nice relaxed vibe to the place. Definitely worth a visit

Looking for a reasonably priced, sophisticated place to eat with friendly staff? McMillan Bar Chop House is definitely for you. When I say reasonably priced I do mean for what you get. Only £17 for half a lobster! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious dinner (get the mac cheese, it's unreal! Also great cocktails. Good selection and strong. I'm glad the Southside has a place like this. 5/5!

First visit was a Saturday night. It was busy, but the staff dealt with everything very well. Pleasant, chatty and good conversation. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. There were some unusual elements to the menu; the fritto misto was excellent with a slightly spiced, really well seasoned batter. The steaks were great, if a little bit cool. Big thumbs up for the Mac n cheese side, which was a definite winner. Like other reviewers, I'd agree there is something slightly awkward about the layout, but it's a small point. I'd definitely consider coming back hence the four stars.

I was not very hungry when I stopped here but I wish I had been! The menu was lovely, the surrounding also matched. My friend and I were seated at a cosy booth overlooking Queens Park, which even in the dreich weather looked romantic. I had the chicken skewers and chips and though they were a little late arriving my lovely waitress informed me this was due to the fact that she had seen them and didn't not think they were up to scratch so had sent them back for a fresh plate. I found this honesty quite refreshing! The food was great, the service also matched and since I live in the Southside I will be visiting again soon with more of an appetite!

Drinks only Review Popped in for a crafty pint with fellow yelpers, but quite quickly I found that it's not the ideal place for drinks only. Yes, they serve some decent crafty pints like Innis and Gunn's Lager Beer £4.50 , but as the main area's set up for dining you're pointed to either the 1 high table in the bar or the rather sterile separate seating area. And to be honest this area seems to take its decor inspiration from a Travelodge hotel reception. So this Strathbungo steakhouse's main bag is food and the dining area certainly looks more intimate, so I'll definitely be back to participate in some luncheon. Prices seem standard, although a tenner for soup and a sandwich initially seems...

Was back here for the second time recently for my birthday. The first time I lobed the food and ambiance but this time was a disappointment. Drinks order was wrong, no bug issue although I felt awkward when I was asked of I could still drink it while being watched, and it was not nice. Secondly the food wasn't that great, it was nice but I wasn't blown away. I got the lamb which wasn't a lot with small bits of potato and veg. The goats cheese bon bons are delicious though. The biggest thing that made it bad was that it was freezing, I had to wear my scarf and my hand and face were cold. My husband who usually doesn't complain was not happy at how cold it was sitting having dinner. It was cle...

Yayyy! A new bar to link the burgeoning Strathbungo to the established scene in Shawlands. The building it's in was going to make it pretty horrible I thought. Well I was wrong, I agree with my fellow accompanying yelpers that the bar area feels like a slightly uninspired afterthought, but in the main area it's pretty contemporary, shiny and spacious...and it was busy on this, it's first Friday lunchtime. It ain't cheap for a southside joint though, we were a little taken aback at the drinks prices, the food prices though seemed more reasonable. I ordered the Beef Carpaccio, and the Spiced Tweed Valley Lamb Burger. The service was fine, the carpaccio came and yes it was a little small, but d...

This building has been empty for as long as I can remember, so it's great to see that someone has given it a bit of love and turned it into a bar/restaurant. It's described as a steak/chophouse and the smell of steak really hits you as you walk in! The bar area is a little weird Steph S describes it perfectly as having a real hotel bar vibe, so hopefully they do something about that. It's very sparse and not very welcoming. We had a seat at a booth which was great but we could have easily another 4 people to our party. This was the same kind of set up in the restaurant area. We were initially told we'd have to wait an hour for a table, it was more like 20 minutes and we got regular updates f...
