    The food , service and ambience were excellent as always. Excellent lunch menu beautifully presented and fully explained by the first class waiting staff. Only thing that was a n issue was that the seats are extremely uncomfortable and should be replaced.

    An absolute must to dine there.Fine cuisine at its best with creative,innovative,interesting and delicious courses to stimulate and tease the palate.An extensive wine list on offer to compliment all dishes.Our Chablis we polished off was indeed smooth and beautiful. Our servers were efficient and totally professional with an extreme knowledge of dishes,wines and sprits served. The whiskies on offer from the local Annandale distillery are a pleasure to drink and come in many tasty varieties. Hopefully will be back soon.

    The food quality was excellent, the attentiveness from the staff was good, but we struggled to understand and hear the waitress as she described the food. Wasn't helped by one very loud man that never shut up or let anyone else get a word in edgeways! Not the fault of the restaurant, but it impacted our experience. We would definitely recommend and also go back.
    The Globe InnResponded on 18 February 2025

We're sorry to hear you had a little trouble understanding our server's descriptions of the dishes. We'll be sure to pass this feedback on to the team and see if there's anything we can do to improve clarity. We also understand how disruptive other diners can sometimes be – it’s a tricky one for us as a restaurant, but we do try our best to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience.
