    Dined here on Saturday afternoon while the Jazz band were playing. The food was very nice . Good menu much better than a traditional pub menu , had a bit of Greek theme to it as well as traditional food . Fresh vegetables nothing was frozen. 2 courses menu including s glass of wine was fantastic value . Staff were very friendly and efficient. Great atmosphere with the Jazz band not too loud , and get a wee dance too , what's not to love

    Our first visit and we’ll definitely be back! Excellent, reasonably priced food, great service from Julie and (free) Big Band live music. A superb night.

    We had such a great afternoon there. The feeling there is so friendly and welcoming. Staff were brilliant. Food was great. The live music was excellent. The company was full of fun and very respectful and warm. There was a great example of old fashioned manners and chivalry. The dancing was so impressive and the floor was filled non stop. Great variety of music , songs and style. A real entertainment and reminiscent of the famous Glasgow Dance Hall era. It was charming and lively. Great fun!

    Waitress table service was excellent to exceptional. The waitress service was skillful and well appreciated. I experienced all else as moderately acceptable. Improvements needed in quality of fish and chicken, likely previously frozen, reheated/microwave type. Wedged Potatoes were flavorful and enjoyed. Spaghetti was tasteless. Very disappointed with food. Also, very disappointed that the dining area is away from the main stage given no line of sight to singers or band. The music was okay. However, the speakers volume was extremely high; and, on this Sunday eve this restaurant is extremely noisy/loud. Cocktails and wine also very poor not impressive also. Many people were dancing on a front dance floor so if dancing is your fancy your eve will be absolutely great. Great potential in this establishment.
