It's good but could be better... - review added on Mon 13th Feb 2006

I've not eaten in a restaurant for a while that has put so much though into it's food. Sometimes too much though- the John Dory I had was overpowered by the accompanying fennel, that was disappointing. Otherwise an unforgetable experience.

The best food so far in Scotland. - review added on Sun 25th Jun 2006

Each dish was well planned and properly balanced in flavo4r. Many accolades!! Of course, the sea scallops of this area are just superb, but the magic is in the preparation.

Too many yummy flavours! - review added on Fri 20th Oct 2006

The food is wonderful, if you want a tasting of what high-class french menus offer, but for the hybrid idea of scottish and french, there are too many flavours. the result? there is no simplicity, in what is already a complicatyed idea - putting two cultures together.

Too many flavours - review added on Sun 8th Jul 2007

there are too many overcomplicated dishes for my taste.I found myself wondering what flavour was being overpowered by which fennel, which anise, or which jus. Simplify!!!

Excellent - review added on Tue 1st Apr 2008

Ignoring for a moment the pseudo-gourmands who wouldn't have known about "too many flavours"if they hadn't first watched Gordon Ramsay, the dishes are elegant of the highest quality ingredients prepared with absolute precision.The overall appeal is one of individual taste and preference for the dishes being served, but there is absolutely no basis for questioning its quality or the care lavished upon each dishes' creation.
