Cool location with a great staff. Moderate portions that leave you satisfied. Nicely prepared drinks. The dessert was a fantastic way to end with a glass of port. The menu is a little limited and certainly on the art is food side, but this is a positive and a nice break from all the overdone typical Scottish style. This place has a Scottish style all to its own.

Very nice restaurant! Cozy atmosphere. The food is splendid and worth the penny. The road in front is a dead end and not visited by many cars. Great place to take a breather or play with the kids!
