Disappoined in the food, expected better after reading reviews. The starter of halloumi fries were overpriced for three small strips of cheese. The main course of risotto the rice was overcooked. The sweet of cranachan was a let down. Just cream, synthetic raspberry syrup and two raspberries on top, no sign of whiskey or oats. Would have thought as named after that sweet it would have been perfect.

Staff were attentive and helpful with our infant daughter. But the food was bang average. I had smoked salmon which was dull in colour, chewy with fat and still had remnants of skin on it. Seemed like the end of the stock or something. Really poor. The link sausage on our breakfast was cheap and overdone to the point where the skin hardens. Veggie haggis was decent. Legit the best thing on anyone’s plate was the spinach and, let’s be honest, that oughtn’t to be the case. I’m saying appearances are deceptive.

Visited for breakfast, food was excellent but service fell short of usual standard. On arriving we were advised there would be 20 minute wait which we accepted. However the wait was not only for the food but to take the order and we were told we would be unable to get drinks while we waited. After more than 20 minutes we were somewhat irritated when other tables that arrived after us had their orders taken and had to prompt the staff that our order had not been taken. On arrival the food was very good but our drinks didn’t appear and I had to go and ask when we would get them. Not sure if there was an issue with staff shortages but it could have been handled easily by serving drinks while we waited for the food.

As a party of 4 we experienced the afternoon tea with pink processco on a busy Saturday afternoon and can highly recommend. Excellent location, extremely friendly and helpful staff, along with an great choice of sandwiches and cakes. A nice touch is the unlimited amount of coffee and tea refills if required. Well worth visiting and experiencing the whole unique atmosphere and ambience. Cannot speak highly of the venue.

Excellent staff. Food was lovely and well cooked. Head Chef of 10 years, which says a lot about a place if they can retain staff for that long. Must mean he's doing something right. Would absolutely go back in a heartbeat.

A late breakfast of Eggs hebridean (Stornoway Black pudding) for me and Eggs Vegetarian (veggie haggis) for my wife went down a proper treat with a very nice coffee.Great surroundings, friendly staff.

Really nice dinner. I had haggis bon bons which were lovely. The pepper sauce was delicious. Then had pan fried garlic and rosemary chicken with capers, mustard and gherkins...which I wouldnt have ever thought to put together but it was honestly delicious. The gin teapot cocktails were awesome. They came in a really nice wee teaset. The elderflower gin cocktail was spot on. I got an itison voucher for this place otherwise i don't think I'd have went but would definitely go back. Really good food and service.

2nd floor of Princes Square, access via escalator (there's even one direct from the street), elevator or staircase. I had reserved online which was a breeze and we were shown to a table on the terrace- inside looked good as well though, that's where the toilets are. A polite waitress took our order pretty quickly, and when we both ordered soup and sandwich suggested a half and half option which dropped out the bread from the soup course and half of the sandwich. This did still fill us up and didn't leave us stuffed, but not sure on the value side though. With a diet Coke (ÂŁ3.50) and a pot of loose leaf breakfast tea (ÂŁ3.05) it came to ÂŁ25.75. I think this was OK and would return: they were beginning to serve afternoon tea as we left and that looked good too.

Nice afternoon tea experience in town! The three tier stand comes with super tasty sandwiches, fresh scones, cakes and tea fancies. Lovely coffee! The atmosphere is lovely especially sitting "out" in the indoor terrace at the top floor of the beautiful Princes Square. Service was attentive and friendly!
