Mains Of Scotstown Inn

We had a very enjoyable meal. Service could not have been any better - there when you needed it, space when you didn't. Food was lovely - fabulous starters (Spear & shrooms and pork/black pudding scotch egg), great steak super-tender rare and tasty. Only slight improvement would be - Some bread before your meal would be nice, some good restaurants we've been to in the past do it and its a nice way to start your meal without having to scoff your starter down cos your starvin. Steak was also served with a tasty dianne sauce. Simple but very good. The cheapest red by the glass was excellent.... No space for desert, but home-made shortbread was excellent - waitress snaffled us 4 extra for the journey home! Will definitely go back - was only 50 quid for 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 large glasses of wine.

Had a meal there begining of this month. My son had the Scotch Egg to start, well over cooked or reheated (awful)

My husband had the Moules Marinier to start which was okay.

I had the roast beef dinner, one of the specials (I have done better myself and I'm no chef) I did ask for the welldone part of the roast, the meat was tough, and you really had to cut through. The yorkies certainly were not freshly made, must have been reheated or in the micro. The other mains were Monkfish Scampi (which was rather dry and the chips over cooked) and the Buffalo Chicken, (over cooked chips also)

The three desserts were okay.

At the end of the main course the waitress asked how our meal was. I told her I was disappointed with the beef and yorkies, on her return (after a word with the chef) she said the beef was tough because I had asked for the well done part. SO IT WAS MY FAULT! Really. I actually think now it boil in the bag beef, there is no way it was a fresh cooked joint.

Our bill for food £67.19. Which I don't grudge, if I can walk out and say, well that was worth every penny.

Sorry Mains we will vote with our feet and won't be back.

Four of us went for lunch whilst on a weekend break to the City . Had a fab time - Great atmosphere (Sat evening), busy and buzzing and the décor was very nice and comfortable. Shared 2 bottles of wine, and I opted for the Goujons of lemon sole (Rite Funcy Fash) which were truly cooked to perfection - Gorgeous, and everyone elses meal was great also, so credit to the chef. Staff were in all extremely helpful with a bit of the personal service touch. Good extensive menu serving different types of Scottish foods. Great atmosphere, but more of a place for relaxing than fast food (Didn't go in the bar area), was also happy with the bill, £73.98 for 4 of us 2 courses and 2 bottles of wine + 4 drinks.
