OK food. Mac & cheese was a bit bland, if I hadn't added a lot of pepper it would have been tasteless. We were met by a staff member who showed us to a table, we asked if we could sit at the window and he quite rudely replied no as apparently it was booked. About half an hour later a couple arrived and like us, stated they had not booked. Guess where they were seated? Yep, alleged booked table.

Wonderful food and service - staff swapped braised beef for salmon with a smile to make my perfect meal (with garlic mash and perfectly cooked veg). The sticky toffee pudding and cheese board were also all 10/10!

Located on the main A93 Perth-Braemar road in the leafy Blairgowrie suburb of Rosemount, and next door to the championship Lansdowne golf club, really handy for day trippers coming back from a day's walking in the Eastern Cairngorms or skiing at Glenshee during the winter. Tastefully decorated; although the cowskin seats in the lounge area are really, really itchy to sit on. Food is absolutely excellent and good value and the staff were professional and helpful. Bar prices reasonable but a pity there is no cycle parking outside. All in all great that this bar/restaurant has been brought back
