This place is a hidden gem!! You must go try it and see and tell all your pals! Food and service are top

Sent my mother mother and law and fiancé here today for Mother’s Day when greeted by staff the woman first words after asking for my fiancé name were you have to be out by 6.15 . No descent service at all . After only sitting for a few minutes they were approached several times by staff asking are you ready to order when only having there menus for minutes . Moving on after reporting that they had a wobbly table as the drinks were near falling a waiter was on his hands and knees with napkins trying to steady the table . When dinner arrived the food was only look warm when received but as the deserts came my mother received hers with a medium size piece of hard plastic. When staff were notified about this they took it away saying my mother wouldn’t have to pay for it . Also if anyone’s been here before they’ll know it’s a small place and with 6-7 staff 5 standing around watching over you it’s uncomfortable . Somewhere we won’t be back too

Always amazing!

Honestly. Ok at best. Portion sizes at the full price are a bit small. Chips were soggy with oil pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Was also served wine in a dirty glass. Service is good and the decor is nice. The food was just a bit of a let down really.

Amazing food and staff are always so helpful, it is our favourite place to eat, Scottish chips are out of this

We've been to Christie's a few times now and I'm always hugely impressed by the quality of food and service. Our most recent visit though the food was just out of this world, with the macaroni being a talking point for me with everyone I've seen since we visited!Can't wait to go back again soon.

This place has a novel concept and most of the food was basically OK (I’d avoid both the meatballs and the haggis in future, since neither were very pleasant). However, a significant error with the bill followed by a subsequent refusal to do anything whatsoever about it turned an otherwise pleasant enough evening into a horrible service experience.When it came to ordering dessert, we were specifically and explicitly told by the waiter (much to our very openly expressed, visibly obvious surprise) that a special Valentine’s Day sharing dessert we were offered was “included” in a £20 deal we were already doing (comprising three savoury tapas plates and a dessert). That being the case, we went ahead and ordered it.When the bill arrived, it seemed much higher than expected, but I didn’t get much opportunity to try to identify why because I felt extremely rushed due to the fact that the staff was in the process of stacking chairs and tables around us to close the restaurant (the only table we were able to book was late enough that we were there until the end). So, we hurriedly paid with a tip and left.I still felt sure that something was wrong so I double checked what we had ordered against the menu and found that we had indeed seemingly been overcharged by the quite significant amount of £10 (there were only two of us dining), so I emailed the restaurant.My email prompted a phone call in which I was told by someone who appeared to be the proprietor that they had “not overcharged me” and that it was in fact all perfectly OK and correct because they had a £5 per-person uplift for that particular dessert, in direct contradiction to what our waiter told us before we ordered it (we didn’t even know it existed until he brought it up because it wasn’t on the menu). When I insisted that this did not resolve the situation, the person on the phone countered that she “had not even spoken to her staff yet and there are two sides to every story”. I’m not sure how this was expected to help, given that I had already acknowledged that the error had likely happened due to the staff trying to get us out of the door quickly due to the restaurant closing just over an hour later than the time our table was reserved for.In a “he said, she said” scenario where an employee is confronted with the accusation that they made a mistake, they can simply deny that they did since there is nothing apart from customer dissatisfaction to prove otherwise. I’m not going to claim that “the customer is always right” here (they often aren’t), but there were three people present in the moment when the error was made, and two of them very clearly recall what was said. I don’t think the waiter was actively trying to mislead, but he nonetheless gave us incorrect information about the pricing of that item, which increased our total bill by about 20% – I’m not quibbling over pennies here.Even putting the original error aside, I am quite appalled by how readily the proprietor (or possibly manager?) dismissed the issue and heavily insinuated that I was either intentionally or unintentionally being dishonest about what occurred. It was also implied that I was stupid to have thought that there wouldn’t be an uplift for the dessert, which was supposedly “obvious” despite the fact that I had already stated that I only thought so because I was specifically told that it was “included” in a £20 deal we had already accounted for and expressed my surprise to the waiter when he said so. The tone of the other side of the conversation was defensive and insinuative.I won’t support a business so determined not to even attempt to resolve a valid complaint. It’s a real shame. Since the restaurant pointedly refused to resolve things, they’ll now have to deal with a chargeback for a portion of the total and the consequences of creating a terrible experience for a customer (I notice that I am far from the only reviewer who had issues with service here).
The staff was nice however the food was very cold the bill was £137 for four did expect hot

Great restaurant with its unique way of mixing tapas and Scottish food, plenty to choose from without being overwhelmed by choice and has a range of fantastic drinks.

Food delicious and just to my taste. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Suggested a few things to try which were really good. Will be back for

Had a great lunch. We got 6 tapas. All dishes were tasty and presented lovely. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely return.

Got a voucher as a gift so ended up here. Very bland/bad overall. Meat was dry/overcooked and somehow greasy at the same time. Worst gnocchi and mac n cheese we have ever had. Both had no taste and were really mushy like they’d been reheated in a microwave. Pigs in blankets used really cheap ingredients. Rubbery prawns. Burnt chorizo. Chips with gravy/cheese was just chips in a bowl of grease with plastic cheap cheddar floating in it.It was edible so not giving it one star. But if you can’t be bothered cooking just buy some wee bits and heat them up in the oven. Much nicer and much cheaper. Or drive to Stirling and go to Mint Leaf or Sidi Thai - a little cheaper, and 100x better.It was a Friday night and was pretty dead. Not surprised. In a bigger city with more options somewhere like this wouldn’t survive.Staff were nice but they did all stand and chat at the bar close to our table which was pretty annoying.
