Anchor Bar in Stirling

Visited with dog lovely location

I love the pizzas from Brindisi. One of my favourite places to go! Freshly made, great customer service. Will be back again!

This experience was a disappointment, the host / manager wasn’t very pleasant. I have an allergy to nuts and one of the dishes had chestnut puree we had asked if this could be removed to the waitress she said “ yes I will go and check with the chefs “ . She didn’t come back to say anything at this point we didn’t know what we going to have for dinner . We then made the host / manager aware which explained what had happened the attitude was appalling, he had a snappy attitude towards my partner we had only wanted to check as my allergies are quite severe . I have been to the hotel restaurant on vists at the hydro many times but this was the worst experience , I have ever had . The food was really good just ashamed that the front of house couldn’t keep up to the same standards . The lack of communication was shocking .

These guys rock. A couple of the waitresses (thank you Charlie and Lauren) saw the look in my face when my favourite soup got wiped off the board and went to the effort of finding a tiny bit extra and give it to me as a gift. How good is that!? (plus their cakes and coffees are fantastic?) Definitely five stars!

Bring earplugs! Food fantastic, although if you order sweet and sour, you recieve a thimble full. Staff don't return to tables for you to order more either. Staff were more interested in carryout and delivery service. Perhaps the restaurant should not exist. Saturday night is busy, but if they are so successful, perhaps employing some one to answer the phone would be advised. It rang CONSTANTLY when we were there, so 1.5 hours. We couldn't hear ourselves speak. Staff standing beside it didn't even answer it. We had to seek out our own bill at the 'bar', and it was thrown at us. At no point did ANYONE ask if we needed anything else, if we were satisfied with our meal. Sad really, the money is their own driving force.
