We had the Charcuterie board which was excellent and the house wine was very pleasant. We also were able to sit outside which is a great space with heating if required.

I had the pre theatre set menu. Really good value compared to to other restaurants at similar level. Service was great. Shout out to Tuesday ( the waitress) We booked at 17:15 and were out by 18:40. It got busy at around 1800 so service might get slower then if you need to go to the theatre next door. Overall the food was good . I recommend this place .

The atmosphere is classy but comfortable and the staff are friendly, attentive, and really go the extra mile to ensure you have a great experience. Definitely one of my go-to places—highly recommend! We ate in the grill downstairs and the food served was delicious. Highly recommend the haggis bon bon starters and the Scottish seafood linguine. After our meal we decided to have a drink upstairs in the lounge which was a really nice setting to end our night.

1802 Lounge & Grill is a fantastic spot that I recently discovered, and it immediately became one of my favorite places to dine. It's warm and inviting and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The menu is primarily Scottish and i couldn't resist the Cullen skink for starters - one of the best I've ever tasted! I got the chicken schnitzel for my main which was cooked to perfection and my partner got the creamy mushroom gnocchi which they haven't stop raving about the rich flavors. The cocktail selection is also top-notch. I had the irn bru margarita - wow! Never tried anything like it before and highly recommend for any irn bru lovers or those who have never tried irn bru before. We ate downstairs in the grill which was lovely but after enjoyed our cocktails upstairs in the lounge area which has a sophisticated yet laid-back feel. 5 out of 5, looking forward to returning for a drink or meal soon.

We ate of the fixed price menu and it was very good at a very reasonable price. House wine was ok but at £30 a bottle overpriced
