   Disappointing meal with a long dark hair in it. We did get it changed. Mushroom risotto made with Pearl Barley which changed the dish completely (not mentioned on the menu). It was very loud in there too which made conversation harder. Previous 2 times it ambience was calm and relaxing and conversation was easier.

   Haggis Scotch egg, Smash burger, Beef featherblade, Mars bar baked Alaska and Banoffee waffle. Scocth Egg was delicious not to spicy Beef fearherblade was lovely melt in mouth Couldn't go to Back Street Restaurant without try Baked Alaska it was truly delicious. All washed down with Mayfly white wine, all went down a treat. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will hopefully be back .

   Cannot fault anything about this place. They catered to absolutely everything and with what seemed effortless style. Service was prompt and friendly, food was superb, excellent wine and cocktail selection. I will definitely be back!

   Great food. Lovely service.Gave us a nice gap between starter and main course. Draft lager would be a nice addition.

   Steak night on a Wednesday is excellent value for money and the staff were great. The place needs some soft furnishings to make it a bit cosier.

    My wife, daughter and myself went out to celebrate the end of first term. We have just moved to Scotland from Canada and this was our first nice meal out together. We were not disappointed, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The ambience was lovely. The food (which is the reason you go to a restaurant) was delicious. We started with bread and olives, they were good but I wouldn’t waste space next time with them. My wife then had Korean celeriac and I had the scotch haggis egg (out of this world this egg was), the celeriac was also seasoned beautifully. My wife hade the mushroom risotto and I had the beef (can’t remember the name). It was basically a piece of marinated beef slow cooked covered in gravy, it was delicious. A little pricey but great portions, the kids menu could have had a couple better options but other than that it was great!
