Daisy Tasker in Dundee City

Brilliant food and service, the head waiter or restaurant manager was attentive and made an effort to ensure we were happy with our experience

The food in this restaurant is very good, but what lets it down is its poor service and apparent lack of staff training. Our group of 18 had been asked to send in our orders for starters and main courses the day before, but despite our group leader's detailed list three of the main course orders did not reach the kitchen and so the three of us sat and waited and waited, while everyone else was enjoying their meal. A young lady called Emma came to our rescue and we were finally served after almost everyone else had finished their meal. The manager and the other waiters seemed to be completly oblivious of their duties. It was left to Emma to apologise - something the manager should have done. When it came to desserts, a young waiter took all our orders and wrote them down, however, again three of the orders did not reach the kitchen. How was this even possible, when he had written everything down on a pad? Again Emma sorted out the problem and the three desserts finally appeared again after everyone else had finished their meal. You would have thought that after the problems with the main courses, they would have taken extra care to avoid a repeat performance, but they didn't seem to care. Neither the waiter nor the manager apologised. This task was again left to Emma, who seemed to be the only capable member of staff in the restaurant. It is a shame - the food at Daisy Tasker is very nice, but I certainly would not go back in a hurry.

Terrific food! Service was extremely slow but the waiting staff managed to keep their cool despite the problems in the kitchen. They were extremely friendly, with great personalities and made our visit enjoyable.

I had a wonderful time staying in the indigo hotel. My visit to their 1822 bar was fantastic, the bartender Danny was not only great company but made some brilliant drinks for m during my time there, definitely will be recommending this hotel and coming back myself!

Nice venue, food was ok and was a bit cold

I needed to eat some meat for nutritional reasons, and I found it here. Good.

Amazing waiter! Our waiter was Jamie who welcomed us in. We don't get out much due to kids running riot so this was a very special family meal. We can't thank Jamie enough for the kindness and respect he gave us. He is a very polite and well-mannered person. Myself and my children are very picky eaters so Jamie tended to our needs. Excellent customer service! He made sure we all had everything we ordered. 5 stars from myself and my family ☺️

We were a noisy group celebrating graduation. Maja was our waitress for the evening and she handled us perfectly as professional and patient. The food and service were excellent in beautiful surroundings; I particularly liked the modern bar area and I left wanting to return.

Fantastic experience at Daisy Tasker yesterday for a graduation meal. I was having a look about to see where my folks and I could go for a meal, and found the menu online. Booking was easy and the staff kindly accommodated a table to the side which was useful for my mum who is hard of hearing. I had the chicken liver parfait for starter, and the steak and ale pie for main. Both delicious. The steak pie must be one of the best I have ever had. So much meat! And the chips and greens were cook to perfection. Lovely setting! Would defiantly recommend.

Food was alright .Service terrible

The Daisy Tasker has a nice bright dining area with comfortable seating. It was midweek and restaurant wasn't busy. Staff were friendly and helpful. The menu has a decent range of choices, but for what you get, seems very over priced. Many of the main courses, including burgers, don't include chips or sides and these need to be ordered separately. I had chicken milanese, which consisted of a small, thin piece of breaded chicken (it looked bought in rather than prepared on site) and tagliatelle with tomato sauce. For £18 it would have been nice if a garnish had been included - perhaps a few rocket leaves or a couple of vine tomatoes, just something to enhance the presentation, given the cost of the meal. Desserts were also on the small side. The crumble comes in a very shallow dish with little fruit content. The restaurant itself was a nice venue, food was served promptly and staff were attentive - all very positive. However, the cost of food in relation to what is served is a definite drawback.

Excellent food and 1st class service. 👌

Less that average for expensive food. Went in a couple of times when I hadn't booked while staying in the hotel, Staff looked at a computer screen then they said there was no space while the restaurant was empty.

Had a reasonable experience here for dinner once. However, when returning for the Christmas menu, I was overcharged for a set price menu and regarding food quality, it wasn't much of a "treat", I'll stick to cooking at home.

Nice meal, food was well cooked and plentiful whilst the service from Jamie and Sam was very good, efficient, and friendly.

Was staying at the hotel and after along drive from england was too tired to go out. Looking at recent reviews i had dinner here with some trepidation. However everything was excellent. I had haddock and chips which was superb. In fact i enjoyed it as much as some of the award winning chippies i have been to in fife. Service was good too. Recommended

Brilliant meal, very very good quality. Service was very quick. Great restaurant that uses the old mill buildings architecture well

One of my friends booked for a group of us to have a Pre Christmas meal . Lack of staff or staff trained in hospitality was a problem. It was quite busy with groups of diners and it seemed most had tge same experience as our table. We are patient and don't expect wonders when out for food and drinks but this restaurant within the hotel didn't impress. Slow service , again due to inexperienced staff and cold food disappointed our group.

I hardly every leave poor reviews but I feel compelled to make sure no one goes here thinking they’re getting fresh, home made food. I was staying at the indigo hotel whilst working in Dundee. I asked the waiter why frozen roast potatoes had been served with my pie, they weren’t sure but they said the chefs are changing. I had three meals here, all worse than the last. I felt so sorry for people who has chosen to come to the restaurant as a special occasion. Give it a wide birth.

Shocking service my partner booked a table for 4 people back in August for the 9th December got a phone call today 3rd December to be told they have just took a booking for 50 people and have Cancelled my partners booking during this phone call my partner expressed that she was not happy the staff member starting laughing at her and tried to talk over her ..lovely customer service NOT now we have to find another venue at such short notice during the festive period .

I had a booking for 9th December since 24th August and today (less than a week before the date) they called to cancel my booking as now had a booking for 50 which clearly was much more important to them rather than honouring a booking made sometime ago. Won’t be booking here again ! Absolutely disgusted with the service. Wouldn’t recommend.

Lovely place visually and the food was great too, however service was very slow and one meal came out cold that had to be reheated - had to wait 20+ minutes for the bill to arrive before paying at the bar instead. Wouldn’t discount the place but not great service overall

Food was acceptable but the main course was not as described - the veggie lasagna should have had spinach as the first named vegetable but this ingredient was difficult to even detect! Vegetable options need to be given extra care on the flavours to make them interesting.

Great food and staff are amazing was my original review but unfortunately tbe new menu just isn't that good in my opinion.

Definitely the worst steak we’ve ever had. We’ve ordered a ribeye steak. Except that it was kept in the freezer for a long time, was not defrosted properly and was served to us boiled not grilled. 😩 The steak knives were dirty and the steak took 50 minutes to come!! 50!!!

Had an evening meal while staying at the hotel this week. The steak pie was brilliant, jammed with melt in the mouth beef in a well balanced gravy with lots of carrots. Friendly staff as always.

Staying in Dundee for a few days this was the ideal choice as I was booked into the Staybridge. I was advised to book a table but an early time found plenty of places, it does get busy so if a later time it is advisable to book a table.Greated with a warm welcome, the menu was explained and everything was available. Not too long to wait and my chosen steak was perfect.Had such a good experience went the following night and tried something different, again a really good experience.Great service atmosphere and food all you could ask for.

Awful - place was empty apart from us and one other couple which would make you think the service would be great, not the case! I wanted steak but was told none available. This was something they could have let us know when we booked. The staff sat looking at a laptop chatting amongst themselves and couldn't care less about giving us anything but the minimum attention. My husbands burger was really terrible - so salty and texture like over-processed cheap burger meat. He is not a fussy eater but couldn't finish it. My fajitas were ok, I was very hungry so ate most of them but they certainly weren't anything to get excited about. Staff didn't ask how our meal was and we left as quickly as we could. To be honest it didnt seem worth complaining as the staff just weren't interested. Very disappointing as we've experienced Indigo Hotels before and never had any problems. Don't waste your time or money!

Brilliant service, food, and atmosphere. Cannot, thank you enough!!

A real shame about this place, food used to be superb. Now it seems they cant get a burger right.

We ordered pizza and a burger and chips for room service. It arrived hot and the service was really good. However, you can tell instantly that the food was of really low quality. I’ve had better frozen pizzas from Asda. It’s ok if you’re in a pinch but don’t expect the good quality dining experience that previous reviews suggest.

After waiting half an hour after being shown to my table with no rinks order being taken listening to staffs excuses with other guests waiting at the bar, I finally ordered my food. My starter arrived swiftly followed by my main a vegetable lasagna which was obviously frozen and heated while Luke warm round the outside the inside was still cold. Needless to say it was not finished and I left completely unsatisfied. To sum up. Understaffed, poor management on the floor and poor food. I would not recommend. Hotel Guest

Lovely evening spent with good friends celebrating a birthday milestone. Our meals were spot on and the staff, of whom we were served by several, were brilliant. Lovely touch with the Happy Birthday slate with delicious tablet. Thank you for the experience.😊

Do not go here unless you book a table & that includes if you are a hotel guest. We arrived on Sunday evening & there were only 2 staff working the bar & the restaurant. There were 4 other guests also loitering waiting to be attended to. However the front of house staff were very polite & found us a table. Service was slow but we recognised they were so busy trying to get drinks & serve food to all the guests. The Dundee gin cocktail was very good. For food we had the burger & it was tasty. We had a very enjoyable evening. As such we went again on the Monday evening this time there were 6 waiting staff on duty. We were told there would be a wait of 30 minutes for food due to a large party which had arrived. Not a problem we got some drinks from the bar & sat down. In theory there were more bar & waiting service but it was calamitous. Plenty of the staff walking up & down looking around the restaurant but we watched 2 groups of tired American hotel guests being turned away at the entrance & being told to go elsewhere yet there were empty tables. After an hour of being ignored we called it a day & walked away. Shame. Something isn’t working here from a staffing & service perspective as there could not have been more of a stark contrast in 2 night’s experience.

Last minute change of decision to go here, really nice restaurant all round, nice food and attentive service. Quiet for a Friday night, but lovely and modern.

Nice restaurant good great to staff are great and friendly

During my visit (on a Saturday night) the restaurant had an only 2 members of staff working, both of which seemed extremely under pressure to try and ensure that everyone was having a good dining experience. The staff nonetheless were amazing however I felt really bad for them having to take care of so many people by themselves. Considering this, the wait times for food and drinks was fair however longer than it should have taken had there been more staff. The food was sub-par at best. Me and my partner had both starters and mains- the risotto was undercooked. The soup was pretty good however the bread was dry. The hake main course was edible but not amazing and the arrabbiata pasta was not fresh however the sauce was good. Overall a disappointing experience however staff were amazing and very apologetic about the situation just a poor food quality.

Lovely place for a meal. Would recommend a visit... good food, good service, and a nice atmosphere.

The manager and waiting staff were lovely and really helpful however the food was disappointing. There was some issue in the kitchen so our meals came at different times. The quality of the food was not great. I had a risotto starter with a poached egg. The egg was hard not runny as it should be (the yoke is supposed to form a sauce) the risotto was stodgy. The vegetarian curry faired no better and the portion for £16.95 was measly. We were given free dessert because of all the issues we had but even that wasn’t great as the sticky toffee pudding was dry with no sauce. I gave you 3 stars but if I was only rating the food it would be 1 star. Even Breakfast was a problem with fizzy cranberry juice and a fruit salad that was definitely on the turn. The kitchen needs some serious restructuring. On a positive note as I noted above, all the restaurant staff have been very professional and helpful.

Overpriced Lunch much better places to eat in Dundee & watch out for the hidden parking charges ( sad)

Mediocre food at a high price point. Polite staff but understaffed on weekend. Nice drinks choices

Great prices and great meals however service was outstanding, everyone was so friendly and willing to make your visit a great one , I certainly felt great and full , thanks

I used the restaurant each night I stayed in the hotel and couldn't fault anything. Brilliant and attentive service (always with a smile) and plenty of gluten free options. Great drinks choice and quality as well. 5/5

Lovely restaurant serving 2 hotels in Dundee,asked for a different sauce than what was on the menu for my steak and this was no problem for them, the steak when it arrived had been cooked just a little too long but was still nice, staff were pleasant

We were here 5 nights. This resteraunt serves breakfast and is also the bar. Waiting staff were excellent. However there are loads of food issues. Breakfast counter hot food was rather ordinary (some items can be ordered from the kitchen) but the "Continental" counter was...

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Scotland, and lots of GF options as other reviews mentioned.

Excellent cocktails and excellent staff, very friendly and very professional. A big thank you to Sophie for all the recommendation to help make my trip that much enjoyable and for all the lovely advice

Had dinner with my wife Natalie and we received a lovely bottle of champagne from Lewis the manager as it was our anniversary as we arrived. We were very well looked after by our waiter Matthew a lovely young man with fantastic hair .our food was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be going back.11/10

Normally avoid hotel restaurants so was pleasantly surprisef by fish&chips last night and happy to have stayed at hotel. Fresh haddock in great batter, good fries and nice pee “pesto”. Tonight horrible mass produced burger; dense and tasteless. How difficult is it make a homemade...

Lovely food but breakfast was cold

Etwas gehobeneres Restaurant. Leckeres Essen, guter und freundlicher Service.

Had a burger which you vould bukid your own was fantastic and very tasty. Will definitely have to one again on my next visit.

Excellent meal in bright modern restaurant. Steaks were superb and well presented . I will certainly revisit in the future If you are looking for somewhere with good quality food and attentive staff - look no further.

We had an early Mother’s Day family get together over afternoon tea and it was really lovely. The food was fresh and tasty and we were kindly given containers to take away the leftover scones that we couldn’t quite manage to eat! We all really...

Stayed at Hotel Indigo Dundee, this is the bar and restaurant named after a famous Dundee lady who worked in the mill for over 50yrs. The mill was changed to a hotel around 4years ago. There are photos of the lady in the restaurant 😊

Nice menu, quick service. Food was good but smallish portions. Make sure you get a few sides to share. Would go back again.

Food was lovely it is fine dining but good . All staff were so nice and attentive .

First visit to the restaurant and was very impressed. Lacked a little in atmosphere, but certainly made up for that with friendly waiting staff, excellent service and quality food. Would definately recomend.

Been here a few times now. Lovely restaurant with nice décor. History behind the name/location of the restaurant makes it so special! Daisy Tasker was a mill worker at the mill the restaurant is built in, great use of a historical building and a lovely...

The restaurant is a hidden gem! the food is fantastic, we have dinner with our family ordering alot of kind and all is delicious. the starter, the main, salad and even the dessert!! my favorite and highly recommended is the chocolate moousse!! my son have...

Had the pleasure of dining here on January 3rd. Fairly large group (7 adults/3 children) for my mother's 70th birthday, and we were all highly impressed with the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff. All of the food was perfect, and...

Having dined here for breakfast and a light evening meal this place has a great atmosphere the service and food are good as well. The breakfast covers all the bases from cooked, to coco pops. The evening selection while not vast also provides for most tastes.

Delicious food at Daisy Tasker in Dundee! Divine cod, dill mash, wild mushroom and red wine sauce for me. Lovely mushroom linguine, tarragon and vegetarian parmesan for my other half. Washed down with a tasty Merlot and Peroni. THEN…yummy lemon tart and Chantilly cream back in our room…(3 course dinner was included in our room booking). AND a joyous breakfast the next morning (after staying in the adjoining and amazing Hotel Indigo) of poached eggs and bacon for me and omelette for him. Fantastic quality and good value - you must try it!! Thank you to all the hard-working staff!!

Unable to give 3.5 stars - nice wee oasis of calm, but they need to ditch the burgers and concentrate on the more haute elements of the menu. Let's face it, you should want to stand out from everybody and their pooch.

I wish I had of known about this hidden gem years ago. Had a wonderful meal with my family on 06/11/22. The food was delicious and well presented. The decor is contemporary and fresh. Staff were amazing, friendly and informative. Special shout out to our server Lewis. He couldn’t have been more helpful. Such a nice young lad. I will definitely be back.

Lack of atmosphere, food was very average and the drinks ridiculously overpriced. £6.50 for a bottle of fruit cider? This is Dundee City centre, not London!

Family of four for dinner, from start to finish it was perfect, would highly recommend this restaurant.

Nice place, with good food and friendly and young staff

When staying at the Indigo hotel, you can expect a 10/10 Scottish breakfast every morning. Also had two dinners here. Service was great and they clearly have some experienced chiefs as the food was top notch.

Friendly staff and a great menu choice, we all had steak and the chocolate Fondant with orange a winning dish on MasterChef UK 🇬🇧

We were staying in the on-site Indigo Hotel so ideally located. We had 2 evening meals and 1 breakfast here. The food and drink was very good - a very varied menu with some unusual options. I particularly enjoyed the Hake and the Cauliflower Macaroni...

Excellent restaurant, great food and good service. Highly recommended!

I would say ok to slightly disappointing. The concept is cool and the cuisine overall good. service is average and no attention to details overall. The breakfast lacks diversity and innovation and key items where non available repetitively. Can certainly work wonderfully if a bit of attention was brought onto the service and concept activation.

We had a very enjoyable lunch while visiting the city. Different dishes were enjoyed by all in our party, our waiter was very knowledgable and polite and we would recommend people to try this restaurant.

Had dinner here during a recent stay in the Staybridge Suites in Dundee. The service was excellent. The servers were attentive and very pleasant. There isn't a huge variety on the menu but it has something for most tastes. We had the chicken breast and...

My mum and I visited here for lunch and drinks before a concert at Slessor Gardens. From the minute we walked in, we were greeted and made to feel welcome. Our server, Lewis, made sure we were looked after throughout our time there. Although, not...

Restaurants attached to hotels are often bland, last resort type places. This is an exception to that rule. Staff is great, upbeat and attentive. The menu items are well prepared and above par. Nice to see innovative preparation of that make a visit worthwhile.

This was the hotel restaurant common to the Staybridge suites and Indigo. Nice restaurant, convenient ( it’s a bit of a walk to the next nearest restaurant), food selection was ok, seemed a little expensive and service was good. We both had a steak which was ok.

This little gem hidden in the courtyard of the Hotel Indigo might be a little hard to find but well worth the effort. Go early as the place starts to hop as the evening goes on. We went during the week of the Open Championship...

Refreshing and unique summer salad with goat cheese! My friend had the grilled asparagus with feta, egg and granola ad said it was fabulous! Our server Lewis was wonderful and the food superb!!!

Slow service. Drink horrendously overpriced. Been there three times and it simply doesn't improve. Amazing building and interior wasted.

Lovely well presented food at the right portions with friendly professional service! I also had breakfast here although I was left for nearly 20 minutes before I had to flag down a member of staff request my order as they seem to have forgotten about me but regardless of that the food was faultless!

Great table service however quality of the food questionable. Could not recommend appart from the Cullen skink which was exceptional.

I tried the new menu yesterday at Daisy Tasker and was blown away by the beautiful flavors and presentation! I throughly enjoyed the hot smoked salmon, the Hake with summer vegetables and finishing it with the chocolate orange fondant dessert which is probably the best...

Dined for a lovely lunch with friends at Daisy Tasker, great service and food! Will be back again! Special shout to lewis, who served our table so efficiently.

Visited for dinner with friends, great service and amazing food. We were served by Abbie, Lewis & Sophie who were all lovely and very welcoming

Have to say we were blown away on how friendly and professional the team were. Mix that with perfectly cook meals that you could tell the chefs took time as like a peice of art! A hidden gem that we will definitely be visiting again...

Today was definetely the last time I had a meal at this restaurant. The hotel is very good but the restaurant has much to learn and improve. The service is very irregular, yesterday was fine but today they forgot mu order and after 45 minutes...

Great menu and good gluten free options. The staff were knowledgeable and as a coeliac I felt safe having a meal here. Was kind of disappointed in the cocktails however the last time I visited, my first old fashioned here was served in a correct glass but with no ice and extremely diluted for some reason! The second one was in a coupe and again with no ice, this time way too strong. The service was friendly though and perhaps it was just a new staff member or someone having a bad night, would definitely go again and give them another chance. The restaurant has a great ambiance, perfect for a date night.

Absolutely wonderful service at the bar with scrumptious marmalade cocktails. Couldn’t have had a better birthday. Special thanks go to Stephen, Sophie, and Abbie for helping a dumb Texan navigate the menu.

The food was fantastic the beetroot salad starter was divine, duck main was fabulous and chocolate tart wow! Lovely setting all at a reasonable price. Attentive and professional staff. Will definitely be returning here. Thank you!

Came in to celebrate my partners birthday and the service at the door was outstanding, as for service when we sat down was again outstanding. The staff where friendly and respectful. The food came out on time and was nice a hot, best soup in...

Came with my partner for my birthday and the service was amazing. We were greeted by very friendly staff and the orders were taken quickly. I had the chicken wings and the cheeseburger. The wings were phenomenal and the burger couldn't be better. My partner...

Booked for a special birthday after being let down by another local establishment. So glad we came to Daisy Tasker. Nothing was too much trouble and the service, along with the food was amazing, could not fault one aspect of it. We had requested a...

The food was delicious, well presented, brought out in a timely manner and the staff were friendly, professional and efficient. While not necessarily cheap, it was by no means expensive and I'd happily eat here again, or recommend it to others. During my meal I could find issue with no aspect of my experience.

One of the best hotel choices in Dundee.
