   Short menu but some lovely choices. Good wine options but would have been great to have a cocktail menu. Have stayed/eaten here before a number of times and would really recommend the venue. Do wish the lighting was better over some tables as rather gloomy in certain areas. Pools of light to ensure a warm ambience and being able to easily read menus would be so helpful. Will definitely return. Service was very good with a most polite and efficient server.

   As always service and food very good. Just disappointed with cleanliness of both bathrooms, restaurant floor and seats. Having visited the sugar boat on many occasions I was very surprised by lack of cleanliness as this never been en issue before!

   Sugar Boat was absolutely amazing. We were a table of 9 for Sunday Lunch and it was totally perfect from start to finish.

   Sugarboat is a great restaurant, good food, good service but today they were off their game. Appeared to be short staffed and 3 of their brunch items weren’t available - no kedgeree, no smoked salmon or sausages, this seemed to have unsettled the waiting staff. As we had chosen to go to Sugarboat today because their kedgeree us so good , so a bit disappointed.

   The Cullen skink was outstandingly bland, two people in our party of 5 ordered it and it was quite disappointing, the smoked fish flavour wasn’t there and it just tasted like cream, however the garlic bread served alongside it was exceptionally good and well seasoned. The beef burgers were quite overdone in our opinion, again two people in our party had them and both of them were unfortunately overcooked. Not once were we asked how our food was which was quite disappointing. The shop looked very nice but not everything had a price tag which made us quite disinterested. Overall, our experience dinning there was quite poor.

   We four only had a light lunch. Three had the very tasty Cullen Skink soup which they enjoyed. I had the Mushroom and Fennel which was also tasty. The three had a toasted sourdough filled sandwich each - all of them over-toasted a bit which made them rather too scrunchy. My soup came with toasted sourdough which was OK and benefitted from being dunked in the soup! Some lovely fresh whole meal bread would have been better, we all feel. Our waiter was very attentive, the wine was lovely and the coffee was fine.
