Really appreciate the thought put into the menu here. The manager has coeliac disease, so the gluten-free and dairy-free options feel genuinely safe and well-considered. It&rsquo;s a relief not to have to interrogate the staff about every ingredient.

A decent spot for lunch. The chowder starter was pretty good. The baked potato was enormous and very hot, just as they said!

The restaurant is such a lovely little spot. Really enjoyed the Sunday roast here.

Stopped in for lunch. Felt like home cooking. Portions are huge, couldn&#39;t finish mine. Solid spot.

The relaxed vibe here is lovely for a long chat. I really appreciate their focus on fresh ingredients. The seasonal mocktail I had was crisp and clearly made with real, quality fruit. A nice spot to unwind without the heavy, sugary drinks.

Came with a group, we all ordered the steak and chips. Honestly, the size of the portions here is the main draw. My plate was absolutely loaded, couldn&#39;t finish it all. For the price, you&#39;re getting a lot of food.

Hot chocolate was a must-try. Gorgeous, honestly. The handmade flavours were irresistible. Just had to get a box to go.

Came for lunch and that braised beef cheek was something else - so tender it just fell apart. The view over St Monans harbour is lovely too. Service was spot on, really friendly and attentive.

The ribeye was cooked just right, really juicy and full of flavour. Honestly, one of the best steaks I&#39;ve had in ages. The staff were lovely too, very friendly and on the ball.

The gluten-free choices are really thoughtful here. I had the quinoa salad and it was so fresh, packed with crisp veggies. A nice change from the usual limited options.

Service here is a real standout. The staff are genuinely friendly, remember your name, and they take the time to chat. It feels personal, not like those big chain places. The barista even suggested a nice red to go with my steak pie, which was spot on.

Just off the train and needed a quick bite. The beef tacos hit the spot, and the service was impressively fast. They had a decent local lager on tap that paired nicely with the spices. Perfect for a casual stop.

Great spot if you&#39;re veggie or just fancy some fish. Menu&#39;s got loads of choice. Portions are massive, honestly couldn&#39;t finish mine. Everything tasted spot on.

The meze for two was a lovely way to try a bit of everything. They bring the dishes out slowly, which I really liked&mdash;gave us time to actually taste each one. The portions were pretty big, too.

Loved the vibe here. Rustic and warm, felt really relaxed. Just a nice place to unwind with a solid meal.

The fish cake was lovely. And the bar area has comfy seats, which is a nice touch.

Been coming here for years. The staff are always so helpful, makes booking a table or sorting vouchers easy.

The steak pie was the star. Lovely chunks of meat, a generous amount of rich gravy, and the veg still had a nice bite to them. Portion size is definitely not an issue here.

Nice little spot, service was quick and friendly. The Tom Kha soup had a good kick, and the fried beef was spot on. Rice was fluffy, just right. Tables are a bit worn, but hey, it&#39;s a popular place. The plates are actually really nice.

The staff were so kind when I brought my own fork. Japanese whiskey was a good call.

The Italian gelato is lovely. What really stood out was how comfortable the booths were - proper cushioning and plenty of space. The staff were very friendly and made it a really relaxed stop.

Got lucky with a walk-in on a Saturday! The lamb ragu pasta was the real star &ndash; so rich and tender, just fell apart. Cocktails were spot on too. A really nice, relaxed vibe for a busy night.

Roxy was our server and she was so on top of things. Really attentive, checked on us just the right amount. Made the whole birthday dinner feel relaxed and easy.

The tuna sandwich was fresh, flaky and really hit the spot. The bread was toasted just right, not too hard. Paired it with a flat white, which was smooth and had a nice crema. That&#39;s a solid lunch right there.

The staff were so lovely and chatty. Food was solid - the pasta was exactly what I wanted. Prices felt fair. Just a nice, easy evening out.

A relaxed spot, nice for a quiet lunch. The staff were very friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience feel effortless. The kids&#39; play area is a thoughtful touch, letting you actually enjoy your meal.

The staff handled our group of 30 so smoothly. Impressive service, especially with all the different dietary requests!

The tartare sauce is homemade, which is a nice touch. It&rsquo;s fresh and balanced, not too sharp. Really lifted the fish and chips.

Stopped by for a casual lunch. The food was genuinely great, especially the pasta. Staff were really friendly and the place was spotless. Felt like good value for what we got.

The team here are genuinely warm. They remembered it was my mum&#39;s birthday and gave her a card signed by everyone. It was a thoughtful gesture that made her day. The place is usually bustling, which adds to the nice vibe.
