Based on the reviews on Tripadvisor I booked there for lunch for my daughters 18th. We were seated promptly and attended to by a waitress fairly quickly. The restaurant itself was warm & comfortable and had plenty of atmosphere as it was so busy. We were only given 2 menus between 6 of us, but that is the only real... more

Our recent visit easily lived up to expectations after reading previous reviews. We were seated upstairs, for which we were grateful as the ground floor seemed very warm, and were promptly attended to. The menu is varied, added to which the specials board listed 5-6 additional starters & mains. Just as well this "board" was a large blackboard! Between us... more

Off a little square in the middle of St Andrews town, this restaurant is spread over two floors. The manager (?) is very charming and eager to please. The restaurant has a nice ambience, certainly not formal, but not rowdy or boisterous either. The menu offered 5 or 6 starters and main courses and in addition there was a specials... more

Bistro style dining and very busy. Booking is definitely recommended. Dining is from wooden tables with no table linen. Good choice of food on the menu and on the specials blackboard. Service is a little slow due to it being so busy, but the wait is tolerable as the place has a pleasant atmosphere. Food is well prepared and nicely... more

We recently had a most enjoyable pre theatre dinner in the Dolls House restaurant. Great value for money, a starter and main course for £11.95 which also included a glass of wine or soft drink. There were around 6 starters and the same number of main courses. A glazed goats cheese starter with salad followed by a rump steak, cooked... more

This restaurant was much talked about while in St. Andrews, so we thought we would give it a try. The service was pretty good, atmosphere the same. Food was absolutely the most awful food we had the whole time we were in Scotland. I have never ever been served a meal with rotten food before, but rest assured it was... more

Getting a Saturday reservation wasn't easy and ours was for 17:45. We decided to go for the early evening 2 course special, I had a duck breast salad... more

Tend to agree with previous review that they have gone off the boil a bit. Their website advertises "...the very best of local produce....and.... the very best of the current season". The mid-July pudding menu was banoffee pie, sticky toffee pudding etc. What about a nice bowl of 'locally grown' fresh strawberries or raspberries? Oh well, we'll settle for the... more

With offspring at university in St Andrews, been quite a few times in recent years but lately have felt that they are living off their reputation. The actual food ican be well cooked and tasty but the menu is becoming old-hat and uninspiring . If you are offering a 'whole' fish like rainbow trout or sea bass, then cook &... more
