Es tiempo ya, sin embargo, una visita previa al salón de bebidas (líquido) que repetirá de nuevo esta noche. Una vez más, la comida era buena y muy buena, pero como visitas previas la noche se estropeó presentado con errores en la factura, un simple error puede decir, pero esto es al menos tres veces en tantas visitas ha habido errores. Sorpresa, sorpresa, estos errores han sido siempre en favor del restaurante. En esta ocasión el vino era mayor que el precio adicional y 2 coca-cola apareció menú en la factura como 2 vodkas. En una visita anterior 2 cervezas apareció como 2 botellas de vino. ¿Por qué por qué por qué debe hacer su John. Su comida es buena y su precio es razonable. Si necesita aumentar los precios, márgenes de mayor. Cuando los errores son llevados a su atención no hay disculpa sólo algún comentario anã¡lisis. No lo suficiente. Los clientes no te desanimes por esta comida cuenta th es buena, pero también la factura.

When you enter the Bistro !!! it is very uninviting , the entrance is like going into some kind of seedy night club , when you get in it all changes , the mirrors on the end wall give a great feeling of spaciousness , its warm and inviting .

Excelente comida a un precio razonable. Tuve que empezar a vieiras eran excelentes. El filete que pedí como una gran porción de plato principal era enorme y probablemente fue 24 oz que era demasiado grande para mí hasta el final. Fue muy sabroso por cierto. El resto de nuestro grupo 6 fuertes todos disfrutamos de su comida.

Comida sensacional. Mi pareja y yo tuvimos carne Carpaccio, que era una manera encantadora de comenzar nuestra comida, deliciosa de hecho. Mi compañero tenía un filete que estaba cocinado a la perfección, y me comí un plato de cordero que debo decir que es uno de los mejores trozos de cordero que he probado.

He comido tanto en el salón y restaurante líquido y el servicio es de primera clase. La comida es excelente, muy bien presentado, fresco y de muy buen gusto para el paladar. El ambiente es relajante y decoración de alto nivel. No hay que olvidar el precio es fácil en el bolsillo. Los recomendaría lounge y restaurante a cualquiera como nunca lo decepcionará. John hace todo lo posible, incluso en el concurrido por la tarde/noche para asegurarse de que están siendo bien atendidos.

Creo que el restaurante ha cambiado de nombre, pero era muy bueno. El lugar había sido recomendado por un amigo y he oído cosas estupendas de su miércoles club curry. Un grupo de nosotros de trabajo fui a ver de que se trataba y me sorprendió gratamente. Qué fantástico valor 7.95 para curry y beber. Sin embargo, si tenemos un gran apetito recomendaría conseguir fichas en el lado. Pero para un curry y cualquier bebida creo que era fabuloso. Muy buena comida y sum sabor. Definitivamente lo recomendaría!

Llegué con algunos amigos para pasar una noche de curry y algunas bebidas. La comida era bastante caro, pero el servicio fue horrible! Fuimos a la orden y nos trataron con desdén por el director. Todo esto nos hizo sentir bastante incómoda. Cuando cada uno de nosotros había terminado nuestra curry, los platos fueron tomadas lejos uno por uno mientras los otros aún estaban comiendo, que dejó uno de nosotros tratando de terminar su comida con prisa mientras los otros sábado sin platos! Nos sentimos como si el personal no nos quería estar allí. No volveré a este hotel.

Went for a family meal and chose the steaks. I had a fillet and my boyfriend and his dad had sirloin. All were cooked to perfection and delicious. Tables are a bit cramped and it is a bit darker than I prefer when eating, but it is a lovely cosy place (vaulted ceiling) and honestly, the steaks....I've not tasted better.

This is without a doubt the best place for lunch in dumfries, great choice on the menu.. I can especially recommend the garlic chicken! Amazing, paninis are great and now that it has been done out the place is a lot more inviting! The curry night on a Wednesday is out of this world and amazing value for money! Curry, naan, poppadom rice and mango chutney with a drink for £7.95! Would recommend to anyone!

Popped in (for the first time) after work for a meal deal (supposedly 2 courses & a glass of wine £9.95 pp). Wine was not included. Pleasantly surprised by fresh quality of food. However, the whole meal was marred with a bad atmosphere due to glares, rudeness & unwelcoming attitude from the manager. In & out within 30mins-we felt unwelcome & couldn't wait to leave.

Went in here with my partner recently for the two meals & glass of wine deal for £20. The owner was incredibly rude to us both, every 5 minutes, there were what can only be described as 'dodgy' looking people popping in and out the restaurant to see the owner, then leaving as quickly as they came in. The tapas was bland, the rest of the food tasteless and unappealing. The wine was cheap & tasted like vinegar. The owner spent our meal glowering & growling at us as we tried to eat, as if we weren't welcome and were disturbing him from his dealings with the characters popping in and out. In the end, we finished up, paid and left as we actually felt very threatened & as if we were in a scene from the Godfather or a Guy Ritchie film. A scary atmosphere & unpleasant food, staff & surroundings.

Used to come here every couple of weeks with the lads for curry nights. Chicken dishes were always better than beef. Good grub, decent prices, staff are friendly enough. some of the customers in the bar are a bit dubious (gf refuses to even enter the building) but its fine to just eat and go. have heard the menus changed recently so will try n see next lads night out.

Had lunch in here on a wet Saturday afternoon. Although the food wasn't too bad the place had young people getting drunk some who were young mothers with babies and there was quite a bit of shouting and swearing out loud by other patrons. Environment was hostile and aggressive, don't go and if you do don't take children with you.

Set in a cellar Dinks Bistro (orTruffles as it is now known) do not disappoint in the quality of food or service - excellent. Even better was the great idea of the "early bird" meal deal: two courses for £9.95 including a glass of wine or soft drink before 7pm. And if you're still peckish £2 will get you a desert. Fairly quick service and fabulous food. Great staff, including chatty owner :) Will be definitely coming back!Tank you

I have been to Dinks regularly over the past few years and the food is fantastic, especially the Tapas. The atmosphere is great, and the setting is quite different to your average dining experience. However, the owner (who tends to be the one taking orders etc) can be extremely rude. At they moment, they do a great deal, two courses for £9.95 (£2 extra for dessert) before 7pm, and it's almost as if he grudges you ordering from this menu. Seems a bit strange to put this on and then seem annoyed if people come along for this deal. In this day and age, and with a young family to think about, this gives us a chance to come out and have a nice meal, without spending money we haven't got. We would still come if this menu wasn't offered, just less often! The other members of staff are lovely and very helpful and the food is so fresh and tastes amazing, hence why we always go back. It's hard to beat the food elsewhere in Dumfries!

Went here for a couple of drinks and a meal with a couple of friends. Went before 7pm so got the special meal which was starter, main and wine for £9.95 (dessert extra £2). Food was really fresh, tapas were beautiful. Main course I has bolognase, would have been nice to choose your pasta as I am not a fan of spaghetti, friend had the chicken skewer, really looked amazing, cooked just right and good selection of salad and veg. The dining area was cute and cosy, not too many tables. Chairs are quite low and tables on small side, would struggle to have 4 at a table. All in all very nice food, only downside is the staff aren't very professional, I think a scrub up on customer service would do this place wonders! Would go back 100%

We were welcomed by a very friendly down to earth gentleman, they didn't have a table to fit all 8 of us but all staff went out there way to put tables together for us ! What a beautiful Restaraunt it's all candlelight and cosy the room is all stone with an arched ceiling. Very old looking building filled with ornate and contemporary decorations.Our drink orders were took withing 2 minutes and arrived swiftly by this time we'd all chosen what we wanted. Well apart from one of us my fussy sister who is a very plain eater and couldn't choose anything from this very fancy Italian menu. So the manager went out his way to find out what she wanted. So he got her a simple burger and chips sorted out. I chose the marinara.Our dishes arrived in about 10 minutes and they looked and tasted exceptional no complaints at all. Apart from a couple of prawns not dissected properly but that's easily done.Will be returning soon, but for a romantic dinner this time as that what this Restaraunt is ideal for.Thanks guys !

I put a lot of Importance on a strong menu full Of fresh food with a selection of good wines. The atmosphere of the place is also very important to me taking lighting, noise levels and music into account. Dinks ticked all those boxes, it was really delicious, I felt spoilt for choice, the specials were almost too nice and struggled to make my decision! Not a bad problem to have! Children are welcome and my son loved his experience being treated as a little man not being offerd the typically dreadful nuggets and burgers!! Can't fault it, we'll be back soon.

Food is very good but let down by the management team, visited at 12 noon, most tables full (normally a good sign) staff very un-cooperative manager going around singing his own praises, yet Bistro not cleaned from weekend (his words) feet sticking to floor, young visitors hanging outside kitchen door speaking to parents/friends with prams & partners, manager not bothered, this was a big disruption to food getting out on time HOT. Bar girl had bad attitude, Managers said "" sorry still catching up from the weekend"" Sorry but employ more staff Oh & a cleaner... No loo roll in ladies un-cleaned loo's. Manager suggested we try his Tapas... No thanks, Chef's obviously too good for this place Move on love! it's your reputation at stake!

My family recently enjoyed another great night at this excellent bistro which, admittedly, does not have an attractive appearance from the outside. However, the ambience inside is very welcoming and the owner kept our glasses filled with very pleasant wine at extremely reaonsable cost. The freshly made Tapas were excellent although it should be noted that these are all cold. It might be nice to see the odd hot tapas dish on offer though perhaps space does not permit this. The main dishes (pasta and fish) were also beautfully cooked, well presented and very good value for money. The new menu has one or two slightly more unusual dishes and we certainly intend to return soon to sample these (eg the seafood plattter). Highly recommended indeed.

My friend and I went to this restaurant on Saturday evening and within a few minutes we were seated with a nice bottle of wine whilst choosing our order. We both decided on fillet steaks and, as usual, we were not disappointed and when it comes to fillet steak we are both extremely fussy. However, they were cooked exactly as we had asked. I had cava sauce with mine which was mouth watering, my friend had the pepper sauce and was equally pleased with hers. The vegetables were fresh, tasty and plentiful and we were asked if we wanted more. The main course was all we could manage as the steaks were a generous size. The staff were, as usual, efficient, polite and helpful. I try and get to this restaurant as often as I can, as I have not once been disappointed with the food. I can also highly recommend the fish dishes which are all of high quality and always beautifully cooked. In fact this restaurant turned my fish hating husband into a fish loving husband, but he only eats fish in this restaurant! If you visit Dumfries and are looking for a fresh, tasty, good value for money meal, then this is the place to go. I promise you will not be disappointed.

My partner and I went to this restaurant last night, We love the friendly and warm decor and were greeted warmly by all staff. There was a nice buzz around the placeService was quick and efficient but not rushed.We started off with tapas which were lovely and not bad at all at £1.50 a portionthen I had a lovely well cooked fillet steak, and my partner had Sea bass with garlic which we both enjoyed , served with 3 different kinds of veg including creamed mushrooms, more than we could eat.All washed down with a nice bottle Spanish Wine and complimentary Apple sourz.The only downside and it was only a little comment is I first asked for diane sauce with the steak and it was like a white sauce with a few mushrooms very little flavour , I asked if it could be changed to pepper sauce but unfortunately the same bland white sauce with a few peppers added.But the sauce thing did not detract from what was otherwise a good value meal in very pleasant surrounding with good service and a lively buzz about the place.

Went one Saturday night with family took 30 minutes after being seated to be asked what we want to drink and over an hour and a half to actually get something to eat. When we received our food we were given a measley amount of vegetables to share between 5 people so we had to ask for more. The wine was extremely poor a £3.95 bottle u can get in the supermarket but being charged £11. Considering the restaurant wasn't even full makes it worse dessert was the only good thing as it was lovely. Will not be back

My partner and I go to Dink (Tapas Bar) maybe every couple of months for a well deserved meal and some drinks (as we had twins at the start of the year). My experience has always been a very pleasant one, never had any complaints of any sort with the staff or the owner John, John always takes the time to make your visit welcoming and takes time to talk to everyone. The steaks are must as I have had steaks in the USA and they take some beating but the fillet and t bone is exquisite, I give this restaurant 10/10 hands down.

The premises are okay at first glance but as you look closer behind the veneer you see the real problem with these premises.Toilets with no doors and no door locks, even the Disabled. Bad stale urine smell all around. Sink hanging off the wall. Owner who is more interested in sexual conquests than running the place. Seemed to linger a bit at the tables with females.How do they get in this state and why do the owners not do something about them. It appears that the upstairs bar is a haven for people who take mind bending substances for fun. No fun there at all, look out for flying bottles and fighting. The "Bouncers" would be more effective if they were painted on the wall. They just ignore it and try to get it outside.This place is a hazard and I will be contacting Environmental Health. I am amazed the local Police and Council have not shut it down. Bad reflection on them for such a small town. When you visit a place like this in a nice wee town you just wonder who is NOT doing there job. Visiting here can damage your health and not a good advert for Dumfries at all.Very very poor

Not so in Dinks, the restaurant downstairs has the best steaks in the world cooked to absolute perfection, the staff are friendly and helpful and know their stuff. If you haven't eaten at Dinks in the evening then you are really missing out! Upstairs is also fantastic for quick easy and tasty lunches. What a great place.

The last time we were there we were not at all impressed!We were pleasantly surprised with the menu, even though it was reduced due to covid. The haggis fritters and black pudding bonn bonns starter was a meal in itself. The burger was thick and juicy, cooked perfectly with a basket of crispy chips. My wife enjoyed her macaroni cheese, albeit it was penne not macaroni!Staff were pleasant and covid procedures were in place. We will return shortly.

I have eaten here several times but this has to be the best experience. We arrived to celebrate my big sister's birthday and were given a warm welcome. The first thing we noticed was the new decor which is a big improvement. I had Brill served with seasonal vegetables , all of which were perfectly cooked and presented and tasted delicious. A special mention must go the onions rings which were beautifully crisp. We had some Pinot Grigio for the wine which was crisp and dry. For pudding I took rice pudding with red fruits -again a hit.The service was very good and at £185 for 5 people , reasonably priced
