The Anchor Line

"Had an interesting bittersweet feeling about this restaurant. My honest review and I’m a fussy eater. 1. Came in and wasn’t exactly given great service. Got seated by the corner booth. 2. Ordered 4 appetisers for 2. Did not like the portion of the soup (it was too big and filing), however, their signature salad is good. I would not recommend the scallop. I would also highly recommend the black pudding. 3. Had the rib eye as main, not as great as I thought. It was slightly dry but great taste. Now here’s the thing. At the end, the Ukrainian Manager actually came out, and kept asking me about the dining experience. It felt sincere and I really like that. It’s little things like these, that makes a great restaurant. The reason why I rated a five star was because of her. Would I come back? A definite yes."

"Brilliant birthday meal. Tantalising cocktails, decadent oysters, mouth watering scallops, all in the beautiful & opulent decor of a bustling dining of the anchor lone! Service a little slow, but I appreciate it was peak time & maybe a tad more friendlier but on the whole I had a great dining experience. Food 8/10... service 7/10... price 8/10... would i go back 10/10"

"Thanks to Google reviews it was easy to find this place. It has a very nice atmosphere and a good selection of Scottish and other dishes. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was served pretty quickly. The food was very tasty and not even expensive. Even special requests where I combined parts of different desserts were fulfilled. Did I mention that it was delicious? I think without a reservation it will be difficult to get a seat. But the reservation was possible without a deposit, even if one was indicated on the reservation page."

"Great meal, lively atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food was tasty and portions just perfect. The table was attended to every so often by members of the team who were ever so helpful. The place was buzzing with chatter of guests. A very pleasant evening indeed."
