Active Bistro in Dundee City

Don't know what happened to this place. Used to be excellent. Certainly isn't now. Food poor. The fun welcoming atmosphere absolutely gone. Having to go up to the till and order and pay each time you want another coffee ( or anything else) is a pain. Why can't it just be table service? Servers not all bad but they are not great either. They used to be excellent. Very disappointed with my last few visits. Time to go elsewhere.

Haven't been to Mexican Grill this year, but needless to say ...a lovely welcome from Haven't and new staff members who were attentive and friendly.Compliments to Chef on stuffed jalapeños and delicious steak pie, meat was ' melt in the mouth' per usual. Thank you very much, Maggie from Aberdeen , staying in caravan on Monifieth beach with new prom 😀 Excellent restaurant, decor 👌

Centrally in Dundee, Lidl directly across the street, nightclub as a neighbor (never been inside though) very good service. A great cozy factor was present.

ordered on deliveroo, good was amazing and I love how customisable it was. it tasted so fresh and was still very hot even being delivered 15mins from the shop. curry sauce is the best in Dundee. will be ordering again and again!

First of all, the positives. The food was brilliant: delicious, well presented & hot (in both senses of the word!) So, thank you chefs. On the other hand the service was awful, with one exception: the young Asian lass who brought our drinks was lovely & we wished she could have looked after us the whole time. So what was the problem? First of all, we arrived and were 'greeted' without a smile or any sort of welcome -- just shown to our table as if it was all a bit of a chore. Not a great start. After that the food & drink orders were taken without any sort of interest. No smiles, no chat, & minimal eye contact. It felt like the whole thing was just a nuisance to them, and throughout the evening too. When it came to paying the bill, my wife said, "Can you please add 10%" to which the waitress responded, without even looking up, "OK". That was it. No smile, nothing. (When I asked my wife why she wanted to leave a tip she said she was thinking of the chefs & the one nice server we had.) Other reviews refer to good service, so maybe on 26.9.24 we were just unlucky. Despite great food (which merited 5 stars btw), we'll not be back on account of the unforgettable 1-star service. Worst we've had in a long time.
