    Balmoral is our go to for special occasions. We go every Christmas season with Mr sons and spouses. The beverage menu is extensive and as big as the dinner menu. We usually get a select flight scotch. The Haggis (yes you should try it) and scotch eggs were outstanding, as were our main courses. Sara our server was excellent with just the right timing for food drink and water refills. The traditional bag pipe at the entrance welcomed you and depending on dining time, may bid you good bye. A high end memorable experience.

    Everything I ordered was outstanding, as always, but when I got the bill, I was astounded by the $5 a glass charge for soda. I did not remember that from previous visits. Cheap people are my biggest peeve, but I don't think think this falls in that category.

    Balmoral Restaurant Review If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Balmoral Restaurant in Campton Hills is it. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a warm and inviting Scottish haven. The ambiance is absolutely stunning—rustic yet elegant, with every detail carefully thought out to create a cozy and authentic atmosphere. The highlight of my visit was the bagpiper. It’s not every day you get to enjoy your meal accompanied by live bagpipe music! It added such a unique and magical touch to the evening, making the experience feel like a true celebration of Scottish heritage. The food was just as impressive. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with flavors that perfectly captured the heart of Scotland. Whether you’re a fan of traditional Scottish fare or simply enjoy incredible cuisine, Balmoral delivers in every way. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s a gem for anyone looking for something special, from the ambiance to the service to the unforgettable bagpiper. I’ll definitely be back!

    My wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary here and everything was great! The man playing the bagpipes played a song to celebrate our anniversary.

    Your are greeted as you approach the building by a bagpiper playing a tune for you. Inside you find a warm cozy feeling place with wood-looking ceiling tiles and an extensive whiskey and Scotch list. My wife and I shared the warm fish spread appetizer (delicious), a huge Caesar salad that could have been shared by four people. We also shared the glazed salmon main course. Salmond was very good but the glaze was spicier than I expected. It was good, but not a subtle sweet glaze. Wines were reasonable—a bit strange you have to ask for the wine name—the menu just says Chardonnay, etc. Overall a nice experience. One comment for managment—our first chair the seat was worn out so you sat in a hole. We asked to exchange it for the empty seat next to us, and they then had the bad chair—which they also switched out—just take the chair off the floor and get it fixed. Also, wines by the glass weren’t that cold, but the bottles were better chilled.

    I love this place! It’s honestly my favorite. But I can’t personally go when there is a bagpipe player because of my hearing issues. That aside, so cute. I take everyone who comes to visit. Get the soup!

    As always our evening dinner experience was top shelf. Colin’s crew did a terrific job. For a couple of enjoyable hours you feel like you’re in the old countryside of Scotland. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu you simply have to return to try it all.
