Food was average at best but the service and experience is so poor! You walk in and no sign advising to wait. No greeting to say, “I’ll be with you in a minute” or “grab a seat and I’ll be over”. So when you do ask “do we just grab a seat”, to avoid standing in the middle of the floor area like a plant, it’s met with a nippy response. Just avoidable. Manager also walked right past us without comment. Place was almost empty and the check to see if they could fit us in, almost made me leave. It never got much busier by the time we left. Only one young waitress with any sign of customer service and deserves to learn the trade from competent people other than the supervisor and manager! Won’t be back as no need

A good little bar with good food only reason I did not give it 5 stars it lacks a bit of atmosphere and a bit more dearer than other local bars.

Have stayed here previously and whilst the hotel is tired the food had been good. Sadly not on this occasion however. Called in for lunch and can only think that the chef must have left the building as whilst my starter (Cullen skink)was tasty it was gloopy. My dining partners starter however resembled something else the cheese was so ally conjeelled it resembled a jellyfish which had been dried up and dumped on a pile of sand for weeks. The main courses were just as bad I had fish and chips which arrived as fish and French fries my partners main macaroni cheese was clearly from a packet and did little to impress. We ate as we were hungry but really didn’t enjoy. Then we went to pay. The staff were nowhere to be found I called out a couple of times to no avail as the were too busy chatting. Although we had been seen by the receptionist still no one attended. This hotel is clearly run by staff with little supervision/ training for a larger organisation which is sad as it could be really good. Sad to say I won’t be returning and will choose more wisely next time and probably going to the chippy next time I’m in Kinross

After many other local, recommended restaurants turned us away at 7pm - even though had empty tables - these guys despite being full - fit us in. Not only that the food was wonderful & the staff so friendly!! They went above and beyond to entertain our young child too!

We came last minute to the restaurant and quite latish. They welcomed us with open arms, accommodated all our strange requests, and were able to accommodate the vegans, veggies and meat eaters in the group. The ambience in the place was nice along with the decor, the approach and attitude of the people serving was fabulous. Prices were really good, food selection great and gave us a lovely meal and a superb evening. If you're visiting Kirkcaldy, come and eat here, you won't be disappointed.
A nice bar. Big flatscreen TV. Good selection of beers etc.

Great staff, very clean, well set out, food is super and the drinks/alcohol is great value and well presented. The Beer and Lager, is very cold and crisp.

We were recommended to go to Jock's Bar for the fish and chips and the fact that they have taken precautions to protect diners from Covid 19. I'll admit, the fish was good but as for the rest- pretty awful! They do have a one-way system in place and hand gel at the door, but we did see customers entering without masks. Our table was small, which meant that when we leaned over to eat we were not within the recommended safe distance. They didn't take contact details for our friends, which I thought was now a requirement. This was the first time we've been in the restaurant since it was refurbished. It had all of the atmosphere and style of a cheap motorway cafe. All in all, it was very disappointing and although we live locally, we will not be returning again. Avoid!
Good food, friendly
Food is ok. Drinks service a wee bit slow.
