Staff were friendly and welcoming and drinks arrived quickly.The menu has been refreshed and some familiar dishes have a fresh twist.My haggis arancini were delicious as were the other starters of scallops, Brie and minestrone.I ordered penne Arabiatta and asked for tuna to be added along with excellent extra chilli and it was excellent. My mother-in-laws salmon was beautifully cooked and the pizzas had lots of fresh toppings. Despite the large portions we managed to squeeze in desserts and again all we lovely.This place never disappoints.

I visited your restaurant early Saturday evening. This was because my mother has consistently stated how good it is. Disappointment is an understatement for this visit.The restaurant was very quiet and we were seated easily. The waitress took our drinks order and this was served quickly. After a considerable wait I went to the bar and asked if someone could take our order and this was attended to.I did observe a number of staff who were extremely busy serving food however they were walking down a stair with this.I ordered rump of beef, haggis oatmeal, point-neuf potatoes etc. The meat was extremely dry on the outside, the oatmeal was so hard cooked that I had to scrape the haggis out of it. The pont-neuf potatoes were absolutely nothing like Parisian fried potatoes and in fact were identical to the chips served with my familyâs burgers. The pea puree and pancetta was tasty.The other three members of the family ordered the burgers (one with haggis and peppercorn). There was no garlic mayo, as stated, on any of the brioche buns and there was no peppercorn (we assumed a sauce).On my motherâs recommendation we then ordered Swiss treacle meringue, with Chantilly cream, served with marinated oranges. This dish was quite unbelievable â two supermarket style meringue nests stuck together with firm cream of sorts and drizzled with treacle fresh from a can. Marinated oranges â I would say mandarins from a tin. It was absolutely awful.I did raise the issues with the waitress who said she was really sorry and appreciated my honesty however, that was it. She also acknowledged that the staff were run off their feet. Unbeknown to me my mother had also spoken to a gentleman at reception who asked if everything was all right. My mother highlighted her disappointment and the gentleman said âwe have a new chef and he does things differentlyâ.An establishment of this standard really should be able to produce good food freshly made on the premises.I come away feeling that no one actually cared that we were not satisfied with our food or the service we received.

First of all the restaurant is very modern and set out well, no complaints but the food was average. A starter of scallops was very well presented but slightly undercooked and a bit bland. Main course of fillet steak is expensive at £28 and you have to pay extra for a sauce which is ridiculous, I asked for medium and it's was rarer than that and not properly rested as blood ran onto plate when cut, the chips also underdone. With some improvements to the food this could be a good restaurant, it's also pricy for what it is.

Just back from a Fab birthday dinner at the Electric Bar. This was our 1st visit for a meal. It started off with a warm welcome from Samantha who was so helpful with regards to our drinks order, then explaining the food I can eat with regards to my Gluten Allergy. I and going to give the Electric Bar and Samantha 5 stars. Not only for the friendliness of staff and also for their knowledge of contamination with regards to Ceoliacs and Vegans. The food and service 1st class and as such I have,also recommend this pub on my Facebook Group for Scottish Ceoliacs and Ceoliacs eat out. Thank you for making my birthday treat so special xThanks for the great review, Samantha is a great asset to Electric Bar, she has been with us for over 3 years and is a great ambassador for our company, all Electric Bar are trained on food allergies and we do our best to accommodate our customers, we look forward to welcoming you and your friends again, thank you.

The food was acutall not bad and the service was good but there were 14 of us and we were all given plastic straws without asking for them. When I challenged the managere on their use of plastic straws he looked at me as if I had fallen out of the sky.I boycott restaurants without a decent environmenatl policy/practices andd won't be visitng again until hey do mor eto address their carbon footprint and plastic use.

Gift form family for wedding anniversary dinner. Food was delicious and all staff were so pleasant and professional. Only little issue was the tables. We had a table for two and when sitting on the outside seat thereâs very little room between chairs and got bumped every time someone passed.

I have been going to dalziel for lunch regularly with friends over a long period and was very dissappointed with my last three visits. Firstly I took three friends to lunch and after paying the bill, I was stopped on the way out to say I had been given the wrong bill, and paid the 30 pounds shortfall, the meal was nice so didn't really mind. On my next visit, a retirement lunch for two colleagues which 11 of us attended, and although the meal was lovely, they informed us they didn't have a knife to cut the cake in half and no wrapping for the 2 retirees to take it home. Lastly I went for lunch with a friend who had undergone major surgery, wanted to treat her. When the soup came it was lukewarm, and the meal was not up to its usual standard. The coleslaw was watery, there were black bits in my peas, the fish was very small with too much greasy batter, and my friends pasta had way too much sauce and came draped in far too much greenery. The staff are always helpful but seemed a bit harrassed even though they were not that busy. Very disappointed and don't know if I'd return even though it is handy. I have always sang their praises to all and don't relish the thought that people will go on my recommendation and be disappointedGood afternoon,Thank you for taking time to leave your review. We appreciate all our customers feedback both good and bad. I will pass your this onto both our General Manager and Head Chef to look into the issues you raised. Could you possibly contact us at [email protected] with your contact details and when you last dined with us so we I can also pass this on. We really hope you do come back so we can show you this is not the usual standard of both food and service we provide. I will look forward from hearing from you! Kind regards, Amy
