It took over an hour for the food to come. It was cold and they got the order wrong. We had to ask for tap water three times. The hot drinks arrived an age before the food. Disappointing and expensive.

I have eaten here loads of times and the food is always good. BUT...that isn't why I am leaving this review.I needed a hamper asap and they had sold out, but that didn't stop Lauren, who put a perfect one together. She asked me what i needed and i just told her to do what she thinks is best. It was PERFECT. She was so helpful, so polite and hilarious as well.You can always judge a company well by the people they hire! Happy Christmas Lauren!

We came here for a late brunch and were left quite disappointed. First of all when we sat down at the table we found that it was sticky, which is always incredibly off-putting.I had the full Scottish breakfast, but pretty much everything on the plate tasted like it had been sitting there for hours. The hashbrown, black pudding, and potato scone were all hard (I could barely manage to cut the scone with my knife and fork), and the sausage and bacon were lukewarm and just a bit sad-looking. The beans had clearly been sitting out for quite some time as they had formed a bit of a skin. Only the mushrooms and eggs tasted like they were cooked fresh to order. To top it off there was no haggis even though it was supposed to come with it according to the menu. It was the sort of breakfast I would have no problem eating at a hotel buffet or in a student hall, but definitely not something I would expect to pay £11 for.My partner had a burger which I didn't try so cannot comment on personally, though she was equally unimpressed, mainly by the fact that it cost £13 and was in her view not nearly good enoogh to warrant that. I tried some of her chips and they were good I must say, but that's the least you'd expect when you pay 13 quid for a burger and chips.I'm glad to say that the service was very friendly, albeit we had to wait quite a long time to pay the bill despite the fact that there were only about three other tables, so it wasn't really that busy at all.In conclusion, friendly service and a nice setting is not enough to make up for the fact that Mitchell is serving school dinner-quality food at what most people would consider a premium price. We were surprised by how bad it was since most of the reviews are pretty positive. Perhaps they deserve the benefit of the doubt for what could have just been a bad day in the kitchen, but there's little incentive for us to come back and give it a second chance when there are many other better places to choose from in town.

Nice busy atmosphere. Pleasant waitress. First course of soup lovely ...then a long long wait. When eventually it did come (after we questioned what was happening) husbands food was cold. (We were not charged for it fortunately.) Mine was very nice. So overall a bit disappointing.

A fab Sunday afternoon lunch. Great variety on the menu to keep carnivores and vegans alike more than happy which can be a problem when im eating out . Fresh food bursting with flavour and impeccably presented. Friendly proffesional staff and the restaurant itself has a wonderful ambiance. So glad we found this place.

The service was slow ; didn't bother me personally, I could see it was busy and I think we may have been the last 12 noon bookings to order. The servers were fine. The macaroni cheese had no cheese flavour and was on1 the dry side. The "banana" fish and chips was chosen by a veggie who thought it was poor, confirmed by someone else. Even if this was the chef's day off, as I suspect, I don't think this belongs on the menu, or any menu indeed. I had salmon salad, insipid dressing. The fourth person had two starters as a main, squid and cauliflower. They were excellent. Nice atmosphere, probably just a bad day, might even try it again.

Sister establishment to Forgan's next door with the same cool vibe and great lighting. They squeezed us in on a busy Friday morning for a coffee and "crispy cake" and couldn't have been more accomodating, even after we took out our laptops so our daughter could complete some quick school tasks. Really impressive operation.

Brilliant place for coffee and food. Have been here quite a few times on our visit to St. Andrews. Service was excellent and food and coffee was lovely. Would recommend a visit !

As the pub we’re staying at doesn’t serve a full Scottish breakfast, we researched for a café that served one in the area we were visiting. This place came up. It was absolutely fantastic. Food fresh, reasonably priced and delicious, staff friendly, and a real arty atmosphere. It was our first time visiting St Andrew’s too. Will definitely call again.
