    We spent a beautifully relaxed evening here in early Dec. As soon as we entered there was a very warm welcome and the two of us were escorted to our table. The staff served everyone efficiently and to a very high standard although still found time to be friendly and take an interest in each of their customers by having a short conversation with them which, in my opinion, makes the customer feel special The food was exceptional and the only problem we found was that this was our only visit here during our stay in Dunfermline. We were also given plenty of time during the evening which allowed us to indulge in 3 courses This restaurant is a gem for fine dining and besides our 3 courses we also had a bottle of wine, coffee and liqueur so when it came time to pay our £220, we felt it was worth every penny ! We will definately be reserving a table at this establishment again when we return to Dunfermline next Dec

    We went here for dinner after receiving several recommendations and were not disappointed. Our server was superb. He alone was five stars, a true professional. As the food arrived, we continued to be impressed with the quality and presentation. The night we went was relatively quiet, with only four other couples, so it was hard to grade the atmosphere. The room was nice but a little bright for me; however, this didn't stop me from grading this superb restaurant as a 5-star experience, and I would highly advise you to try it for yourself.

    The bar and kitchen is an amazing setup and the design and layout complements the dining experience with great food and the presentation make the mouth water at the detail that has gone into making you experience world class food from an amazing chef. To have the owner take time to explain how he produces great food and the chocolate on offer made my day. I would highly recommend a visit and enjoy the dining experience.

    Very very good! Food beyond fantastic. The service excellent and the atmosphere perfect. A few things with their customer facing terms and conditions could be done much better, but something you can overlook when it’s great food. Would highly recommend. 5/5

    Quite excellent food overall, although I found some of it over-seasoned, and meat a little fatty. Overpriced - mains (already min. £30+ each) require addition of sides separately, which is not clear from menu online. Automatic service charge which I really dislike, although staff were attentive. Automatic charitable donations also really disliked. Just a regular bill please
