Had a lovely meal on our first evening at Craigendarroch and were not disappointed. Food was very good and the service was excellent. Set price again for meals which means you know what to expect, cant fault it.

the staff excelled again. The food was well presented and hot. It tasted delicious and would recommend anyone to at least try it once. We have been to the Scottish night also and it was a very entertaining evening and again the food was excellent. Thanks to the Chef

I liked the staff, who knew what they were doing and were knowledgeable about the wine etc. Extortionate prices if you're on a budget but its not the place to go if you're on a budget!

At night the whole thing goes up a notch. Crystal glassware, very attentive service. Food quality really high but small portions. You need to fill up on bread and ask for extra veg. If you are a big lad you will need a sandwich later but overall excellent!

Good food, lovely dining room, atmosphere a bit stuffy and wine list lacking imagination. All in all a decent meal though.
