Ein hervorragendes Lokal mit tollen Essen wir hatten die lammschulter und sie war köstlich.
Fresh and delicious food. The wait time is there but the service is great. The is across The grange manor hotel. Nice space from a seating arrangement perspective. A decent parking space for people to park their vehicles. A very decent vegetarian options are available..which impressed me the most.
Get dinner here and then head down to see The Kelpies. Perfect evening.
Haggis Bon-Bons are DELICIOUS!! After all you hear about haggis, it seems like it would be horrible. I'm so glad I was adventurous and tried these.
The staff and restaurant were nice. Recommend
A very nice eating experience, the young lady servers were attentive and polite, 4 different dishes were all excellent and the wine went down well
Very nice meal had via Groupon.
Welcomed into restaurant with a smile always helps.
Food was hot and tasty. Nice glass of fizzy wine. Was perfect after a day of Mountain climbing in the Trossachs.
Could not believe how rude one of the waitresses was. Before even being seated and been given a menu we were asked what we would like to drink. Already felt very rushed. When the waitress returned with our drinks we kindly asked if we could order in which we had the following barked at us "I've got other people to deal with". We both looked at each other and questioned if we should stay. We gave her the benefit of the doubt and stayed. Once our food arrived it was given to us by a different waitress who again was fairly rude by slamming the plates down on to the table. We noticed that the same waitress that put our food down repeatedly was wiping the table next to us, and came over three times to the same table to listen to what we were saying. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant before. Food was very disappointing and bland.
Once we had finished our meal we were sat for 15 minutes without our table being cleared. Bearing in mind there was probably three other tables in the restaurant at this time so was not busy whatsoever. We went up to the bar where we were repeatedly ignored by the first waitress that served us. After her walking past three times and ignoring us, my business partner asked politely if we could have the bill. She barked at him and said "I've got other things to do pal!". I have never been so tempted to walk out of somewhere without paying in my life. We then asked the second waitress if we could have the bill, in which she helped us.
Unfortunately the food caused upset stomachs and sickness.
I think Cook's Bar & Kitchen should really consider their staff and have a review of this vile and disgusting waitress. I was on a business trip and would definitely not recommend this place to anyone and would definitely not be returning myself.
Was given a voucher to a steak meal, and I'm very glad I didn't pay for it. The steak was cooked, ok - the chips that came with it were obviously cooked from frozen and must have been the last remnants off the bag.
I had a chocolate brownie desert to finish, and it wasn't nice at all. I have had better brownies from a supermarket.
For what is being charged, I would have expected the food to be off a lot higher quality and not just just bought in frozen foods.
Not brilliant, a bit of a shame. The food took forever to arrive then when it did wasn't that hot, but was just about fine. I felt like it'd maybe been sitting out before it came out.
Coconut Chicken goujons were 84% batter, 0% coconut, which was not good.
The waitress with the groovy blue nails was great though, to be fair, compliments to her.
