Lovely experience all round. Venison was excellent. Portion sizes were great, with the addition of sides resulting in a very filling meal. Staff were attentive and food was timely. Would return.

We had originally booked into the Andrew Fairlie but sadly this was cancelled due to a member of staff testing positive for C19. The hotel graciously rearranged our booking for the Strathearn.Having seem the other reviews on Google I was pretty apprehensive. This was quickly put to bed: the staff were charming and very attentive. The food was even better, my tip is to make sure you eat anything this restaurant serves with venison, it is quite divine.Prices are steep but we thought the quality of the food, surrounds and service justified it. The restaurant has struggled with getting enough staff in over the last few months of C19 reasons, it seems they are now back to their best!

We had a booking for 23rd June. It was cancelled on the day. We explained it was a special occasion, they reinstated the booking during the day, by which time we had booked elsewhere. We had no signal so messaged at 5pm to say the 6.30 booking was not needed. At 7pm we were messaged to see why we were not coming. If you want a fine dining experience may I suggest you go elsewhere. This was not the experience we had been looking forward to for several months.

Limited menu on the day I visited. Average food. Bad service. We were seated in a very bad location despite many tables in better location being vacant. Never will be back. I really don't recommend this place.

Starter and desert fine; main course ‘meant to be fillet steak’ terrible. No idea who our server was - 5-6 different individuals, not co-ordinated, huge wait between courses. No management, unprofessional, incredibly bad organisation. Been many times but worse ever since ‘new restaurant’ opened.Just lost another repeat customer.Management hang your heads in shame.1out of 5 is being generous

Went for Sunday lunch as a party of four. The service was excellent as was atmosphere with a pianist playing in the room. For a starter I had the Hebridean crab, my wife had smoked salmon which is cut at the table and two salmon to choose from. For main we all had the roast beef(medium, medium rare) which is also cut at the table. For dessert, as I enjoy whisky, I opted for the caramel chocolate tart, smoked almonds and Talisker whisky ice cream which was fantastic so if you like whisky I would definitely recommend this! For the three courses we were in there for around 2 hours. I think our bill was around £200 as we all had three courses and there was also 2 glasses of wine. A small glass of Shiraz being £17 I believe. Food, atmosphere and service were superb, we all enjoyed our time there.

Excellent game, wine, and dessert options. The venison and raspberry soufflé were the stars of the evening. It is a fine dining experience, so be prepared to pay at the higher range for a three course meal and wine, and expect smaller portions as is common with high end restaurants. Service made us feel very welcome. Head to the Century Bar after dinner for excellent cocktails.

A truly underwhelming and costly evening. Really disappointed.We had booked dinner for my family to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. Our table was out in the back corner which is under a conservatory and outside the main restaurant so you can actually hear the music and instead you have a view of the area where the waiters and waitresses ring up the bills and store the spare crockery. It was drafty and lacked atmosphere. Then I looked at the menu, £65 for 3 courses. I am vegetarian (which they knew in advance) and there was 1 main to choose from which was disappointing. I looked at the wine list - extortionate costs for some average bottles of wine. We only wanted wine by the glass and it appeared only two were available and they had run out of the cheaper one - surprise surprise. The food came and it was unimpressive. My vegetarian option was the standard beetroot and goats cheese - quite bland, not imaginative and it was small do I had to ask for more bread. The other starters arou d the table were ok. Then the main came, glad we ordered extra sides (for extra an charge of course) because the portions were disappointing again and the food was average in flavour. Then dessert - I had to prompt for the dessert menu as we had been sat for a while unattended and were now 2 hours into our meal and starting to get hungry from the lack of first two courses. 3 out of 5 of our party wanted the earl grey souflé, it looked great when they went out to the other tables. But of course, they had run out. So we had to choose between the 3 desserts on the menu. Again a huge disappointment. We didn't take any photos of the food because it wasn't worth it. I took some pictures at the end so you can maybe sense how disappointed I was with the whole thing. £450 and 2.5 hours we won't get back...

Very tasty, especially the cherry dessert! Great breakfast here too

A restaurant for stuck up snobs. Overpriced with mediocre food.Coming here we all expected something really quite special for the food. All we found was just a restaurant full of snobs.The food was at the best of times mediocre in taste. We decided to try some cocktails - cheapest ones on their list starting at £16.... which were quite bland tasting. The starts we got being crab and a pork pate tasted a bit better than something canned. The only good thing was the oresentation.The mains we got were halibut and lamb which were both very very bland. There was no real taste to it, had better food from many many pubs in my time.The sticky toffee puddings and the tart tattin were also okay, but nothing special in the slightest. Overall judgement is that this place is just from pretentious snobs. Have had better food in 90% of other places ive been to. And a bill of £210 at the end for all of this is just a complete rip off!Only really good thing was the service. Servants were lovely and did their job perfectly and the piano playing in the background was a great touch. Would only ever come back here for some coffee maybe. Not worth coming here for food as you will be terribly disappointed and also leave very hungry....
