Harden's survey result
Summary
“Food, service and ambience are all excellent”, as one might expect of this grand resort hotel’s traditional dining venue, which focuses on spectacular Scottish seafood and roast meat, leaving more adventurous interpretations to Restaurant Andrew Fairlie (its neighbour along the corridor). Even some diehard fans, though, complain that “the price has gone up and up over the years”.
Summary
This famous resort’s traditional fine-dining venue (as opposed to the more avant-garde Restaurant Andrew Fairlie, along the corridor) is “a wonderful throwback to a bygone age of elegance and sophistication” – “complete with live pianist”, silver service and a trolley bearing the roast of the day, beef Wellington and Dover sole. “Despite all this, the ambience is not stuffy”, and the culinary skills on display are thoroughly “modern”.
Summary
It’s perhaps unfair to call this rather grand traditional dining room the ‘other’ restaurant at this famous resort, and – although it’s somewhat less elevated in aspirations than Restaurant Andrew Fairlie, it’s only a question of degree. And feedback says results here from a kitchen presided over by Simon Attridge are “very good” too. It’s by no means the cheap option though. “It is Scottish fine dining but it’s at a fine price too! Set menu currently £85 for three courses”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
