Lovely place, in the middle of nowhere, but well worth a visit. The ambience and decor of the restaurant is really nice - each family has their own table, or booth. We were a family of 5 and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was fantastic. I would definitely recommend a visit. We will go back on our next visit to Glasgow, for sure.

We hosted a family event here recently and everything was wonderful. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the set menu had a wide variety of choice, all of which were enjoyed by our guests.
