Faulty Towers dinner show was hilarious. What a great show with authentic funny characters from the TV comedy. Food was good but portions rather small.

What a fantastic setting for a meal. From the street you have no idea how large it actually is. It is warm and rustic and with large private booths which can open up for larger parties. The food was perfect and the staff were very nice and attentive. I particularly liked how they had multiple staff bring out the food to the table at once. A really nice touch. Can't wait to go back.

Please do not waste your time or money in this restaurant. Menu for kids is poor and when we asked for a cheese sandwich we were met with the response of " we don't do those ". Yet they do cheese salad with red pesto. So they had cheese and bread. We ordered our food which took ages. After we had ordered the waitress came over with the specials menu and when the food came it was stone cold. The place is lovely inside and beautifully decorated but service and food it terrible.

Arrived at 1305 and asked for a table for two , we were told no walk ups for lunch yet the place was empty , no one sitting outside either . Weren't offered an option to come back later . Went to Gracies nearby and had a lovely lunch . Looked into Forgans at 1440 , a few sitting at tables but no still no-one sitting outside . Speaking to a few locals who said , nice food in Forgans but poor service. Think they may be correct.

Visited with a friend- at 13.05 we ordered soup and waited, at 13.30 I asked the waitress if there was a problem, we were served the tasty soup within minutes. The restaurant did not appear exceptionally busy but 30 minutes for two soups!!! And no apology for the long wait. I wouldn’t like to dine when they are very busy!! Would not visit again

Visited with friends however very disappointed. The haggis bon bons were poorly presented with only aioli. The duck starter was bright pink and off putting and very small. Starters took about 45 minutes to arrive. Mains were very expensive and small. They were quick to offer very expensive alcohol and I had forgotten that they are the only restaurant in Broughty Ferry to add a 10% service charge to the bill way above what would have been appropriate in this instance for a tip. And to top off and add insult to injury the waitress didn't return with my change (after a long wait) so I had to make a point of asking for it. Very disappointing and expensive night out.

Lovely restaurant, great service. Terrible food. Everytime I’m dissatisfied, seasoning doesn’t exist, food is cold, badly cooked and generally quality isn’t even as good as a Wetherspoons but with high end prices. My advice stick with the cocktails till they hire quality chefs I’d say.

This restaurant is fantastic. I have visited lots for meals, drinks and some of their brunches. Every single time, the service has been one of the best, always going out of their way to fit us in, even when busy, and they make us feel welcome even when we bring a dog and a child! They are just so on it with menus, checking in, serving drinks, and engaging with customers. The staff always seem so happy. This also shows professionalism because everyone is not always happy at work all of the time! I would highly recommend this establishment. It would be great if they could take over Urban Beach to provide this service with incredible views! They provide everything Urban Beach is lacking in! The service today was second to none. Well done to Forgan's management for developing such a strong, well trained team!

We booked a booth in Forgan’s for a family dinner when we had people over from Canada. We had bread, Camembert and haggis Bon Bons to share for the table, then I would highly recommend the lamb for the main which most of us had. The food is a little pricey but it was worth it for a great meal in nice surroundings. Katie and Howard were our servers for the evening and they were brilliant. So friendly, always making sure we had enough drinks, water for the table - they had a good chat with us and made us all so welcome. They have a good wine selection too.

Lovely food, however, portion sizes are quite small. I was shocked at the prices of both food and drink! Very overpriced for what's on offer. The place is beautiful and has been decorated very well. I wouldn't rush back due to the cost as for 3 people at lunchtime, our bill came to over £100. I had a starter and one drink, whereas my friends had some cocktails and mains but still didn't expect the bill to be so much. The waiting staff were lovely and very smart with their uniforms on. Howard was an absolute star. Very friendly, welcoming and attentive.

We visited a couple of weeks ago for a family wedding anniversary. Staff were friendly and helpful but service did leave a little to be desired, missing cutlery, forgotten items and long waits. It was a Sunday so we opted for the roast, I'd advise if it is later in the day don't bother, as portions were small for the £20+ price tag and meat dry, both the lamb and beef. For the price I'd expect better, it's on par with Edinburgh pricing but in Dundee.

Our group went to the Northern Soul Sunday afternoon brunch which was very disappointing. We had been at the previous monthly Country and Western themed lunch which had been very good as it was live music. Unfortunately this event was purely a guy playing music…like a disco…which was too loud to enjoy conversation at the table.There was no interaction and was poorly done. Food was pretty awful…3 items to chose from. 2 of our orders were wrong and the 3rd plate was missing a couple of items …as it was meant to be a full breakfast. I find Forgans very frustrating as you never know if your experience is going to be good or bad. You cannot be guaranteed a good meal and considering they are in the pricier bracket for food, then it becomes a disappointing experience. Sorry Forgans….you could do a lot better.

Order arrived soon after but on cold plates. Food was not very hot anyway but cooled down quickly. Waiter said there was no excuse for this as they had plate warmers but never appologised.

Went to Forgan's with my friends for dinner on Friday, 5th of July at 20:00. I enjoyed the starter and dessert, but the main course was a joke. This is how the menu describes it: Chargrilled Patty, Monterey Jack Cheddar, Burger Relish, Gem Lettuce, Dill Pickle, Plum Tomato, Seeded Brioche Bun, Skinny Fries. What came was nothing like what was described. Picture this: the most pathetic and plain bun with no sauce, two sad salad leaves, a lonely slice of tomato, and a piece of dried burger meat. The burger stood out like a sore thumb compared to everyone else's meals, and not in a good way. It looked like it wandered into Forgan's from the street by mistake. I asked the waitress why the burger images from Forgan's online reviews look so different from what I received. Her answer? "We are changing our menu, so some items might look different." If you're changing from a restaurant to a cheap takeaway, that's perfectly fine, but perhaps you should also update your prices. Also, when I scrolled back the reviews, I found that 5 months ago someone already left a negative review (attached) about the burger being underwhelming. Clearly, this was not taken on board! Forgan's, if your goal was to provide a memorable experience, mission accomplished. I'll be telling this story at parties every time the topic of fine dining comes up.

We went on the recommendation of my sister in law who is local. My daughter ordered the hot smoked potted salmon what she got was slices of smoked salmon rolled up in a ramekin??? I ordered the bacon steak what I got was a very dry and tasteless pork chop. My husband ordered the steak at £40 I was expecting something amazing he ordered it medium rare - what he got was a dried out thin piece of meat - chips were good- my sister in law ordered the lamb I’m not sure what it was supposed to come with but it looked a mess. Service was as good as it could be but the price for the quality of the food was absolutely terrible. We didn’t make a fuss because my sister in law would have been embarrassed but I can post this review so that others don’t waste their money.

Very disappointed and do not recommend. The staff although very pleasant were completely overwhelmed last night during the set Graduation meals. Service was slow, having to repeatedly ask other waiting staff as ours was awol. Menu was basic, and food pre-prepared therfore dry. Nobody was asking about drinks or changing cutlery, table was not cleared while we waited for the next course. Waiting staff were unsure what plate had the meat free option, had to go and check. We asked if 1 person could order from the main menu as the set menu wasn't suitable for her dietary requirements. We were told no 3 times before they agreed she could have a burger and fries. I could go on and 3 members of our party complained to the manager throughout the evening. This restaurant had been recommended and for such a special day you would have expected the staff to be experienced and prepared for a busy evening.

Well decorated and excellent atmosphere but food really poor. A supreme of chicken was well cooked but very heavily salted. The garnish was a few cubes of potato that had been boiled then sautéed but they were totally over cooked and very salty again. To round up the garnish were two small pieces of onion that were totally blackened and one of which appeared to be the outer part of the onion and was of course tough and paper like. I suspect the garnish is prepared hours before and repeatedly heated up until it gets totally over cooked. Why do these places use so much salt? It doesn’t bring out flavours but masks them. This same meal with baby carrots, new potatoes and perhaps some runner beans freshly cooked would be superb. The Cullen Skink was a total rip off. Heavily salted and only two small flakes of fish and a couple of pieces of potato. It was just a bowl of liquid unlike ‘real’ Cullen Skink that could easily be a whole meal. Very poor meal.

Mixed reviews but overall a good experience.one of the waiters was exceptional but the rest of the staff leave a lot to be desired. Kitchen was overwhelmed by some large tables so service was extremely slow. Sunday roast which should always be exceptional was slightly above average, frozen reheated Yorkshire pudding should just not be served. Would return but will make sure it’s not on a busy day. High expectations from Instagram post but sadly let down.

What a truly perplexing experience. Three people in our party ordered tea - peppermint, breakfast tea, and berry tea. All three were listed on the menu in the same section. The peppermint and breakfast tea came as hot tea in a pot, as expected. The berry tea came as a cold berry smoothie. We asked the waitress and she confirmed that this was the berry tea in the same section as the hot tea. Our waitress was quite confused the whole time, as she didn’t know what gluten free meant, and when we asked questions about the menu items she responded back with info about other menu items. The scallops were fine, but you only get 3 scallops for 14 pounds, so it’s not a good value. I definitely wouldn’t come back.

High hopes having visited the St Andrews place a few times. Disappointed however. Haddock was certainly not and tasted of plain cheaper white fish- cod or coley, my wife’s venison tasted like mediocre stewing steak and the sticky toffee pudding was basic sponge with toffee sauce- minimal if any dates using in pudding. I’m too polite to raise issues as service was fine so just paid and left. My wife’s just nudged me and reminded that the cheesy dumpling was undercooked and doughy, sorry.

We visited on Saturday afternoon with a party of five, including a six year old. Id say it was around 50% capacity and had plenty of staff around. Server was lovely however didn’t get our drinks order correct, which when they eventually arrived was missing a glass of rose. It took what felt like an age for this to appear. Three people on the bar. On ordering food (just mains and sides) it took far too long to arrive and when it did, the food was warm but not hot. The sliding door was wide open meaning the freezing draft gave me a sore neck and meant we were shivering, especially our six year old. I asked for the door to be closed, they partially closed it (i over heard a waitress saying it was freezing in there) - this did nothing for keeping the food warm. My burger was lovely although so thin, topped with a brioche bun that was four times as thick meaning it drowned the slimline burger. There was very little relish and also cheese. I’ve had thicker burgers at McDonalds - the entire thing was very dry. Fries lovely albeit total not worth £18. Onion rings sides were saturated in so much greasy fat as were our six year olds fish goujons - dripping in fact. He got eight chips, two of which were crispy black ones. My friends had chicken supreme but felt it was nice although also luke warm and the tender stem broccoli was raw - £23 for this. Second drinks order took forever to have our server appear for this. The last time i was at Forgan’s was a tuesday night at 7pm. It was was completely empty and the food was fabulous, pricey compared to other ferry food outlets but worth it that time. This time a bill of over £150 was not worth it one bit for the service and quality of our food. Won’t be back sadly. In the Ferry, people talk and this kind of thing needs sorted quickly or you’ll lose your doorstep business. We were next to the till, and all i heard was apology after apology for things that had gone wrong or weren’t right. I never paid for this meal and my friend refused to let me say something. I hope this reaches the right person. Quite sad, Forgan’s was the place to go for brilliant quality and service that was worth paying for.

This used to be our go to place and one of the reasons we went back for an Anniversary meal. The servers were really nice but it didn’t start well when we put in our orders and were told some things were out of stock. No onion rings , no English mustard. My Husband was charged £23 for a bit of dried up chicken! The bill though at the end was a shocker. I was charged £11.75 for one glass of wine! You don’t get charged that in Edinburgh, why would you be charged that in Broughty Ferry! With a service charged added, we were £75 for some olives, bread, a burger, dried chicken and 2 drinks. The place was empty , no atmosphere and quite honestly you are putting yourself out of business! I used to love coming to Forgans, we’ve been there for so many occasions including Christmas and had our wedding meal there but I won’t be back, it’s just a total rip off and I can get better food in other venues in the Ferry for much better value for money. Really disappointed.

Well starting with the positives we were there for a hen do 16 of us and the snug was perfect size although very open so all other diners heard our noisy antics !! The meal was lovely we had a set menu … first issue who eats venison pie !!! Only 3 options for main one veggie haggis and “ venison pie” !!! I tried in total 4 times with calls and emails to get this changed and then had to go in person to have it changed ??? Why ??? It took 2 mins when I went in !! Not good start ! The waiter a lovely man was wonderful and very attentive . We had room booked from 3.30 to 6.30 the set menu cost £34 each without drinks .. at 6pm a very abrupt girl came in to say they need room back at 6.15 so could we get ready to go !!!! Erm no we payed for room until 6.30 if you were daft enough to take another booking from 6.30 that’s poor management and not our issue !! Then bill arrives for drinks !! £500 including a service charge of £83 !!! What the heck ! I would happily tip but I decide how much ! When we questioned it they said they could take it off ! How many people have too much Prosecco then pay it without realising ! That’s very poor and very cheeky we gave £50 as a tip .. overall great day but these things irritated me on a day that was important to me ! So 5 out of 10 for experience and won’t recommend x

The location and setting were great, and we got a table in the main area in the back on a Friday night. The mains were great (well cooked, fast service), but they were so short staffed that it impacted on the enjoyment of the meal....

Excellent food perfectly cooked. We had lamp rump steak and pan seared chicken as main meal. Delicious desserts ice cream - very creamy. We had sticky toffee pudding and also cheese board with lovely cheeses. Professional Service was good with a smile. Atmosphere was good dimmed lights. A little cool in temperature. Enjoyable evening.

Hi I attended the ABBA tribute act in your place Sunday 24th March what a fabulous time my friends and I had. The high tea was delicious the band were good had everyone on their feet dancing, I would like to highlight Howard you worked for you what an entertainer he joined in the fun his hosting skills were first class so welcoming and chatty . I have never enjoyed myself so much in a long time. I do hope you repeat acts like this. Full marks to you all .

Forgans never fails to disappoint. But we had a voucher and it had to be used. The service was really odd. It took ages to place the order and a two rounds of drinks both took ages to arrive, but the food arrived almost instantly. Barely left with only a couple of minutes gap between each course. Very odd. The Cullen Skink was decent if a little heavy on chunky potatoes. The haggis neeps and tarries was oddly tasteless. The rest of the dishes were pretty decent. Value for money :a good bit below average. The atmosphere was somewhat spoiled by the loud noise of the rugby blaring from the bar area. Who thought that was a good idea for dining entertainment? Forgans; always close to being decent but never quite getting there.

I went there with some friends for dinner, I had the vegetarian wellington, the pastry was soggy and was not crispy. This is pretty disappointing because a Wellington is meant to be crispy and this shows that there is too much moisture in the pastry. Personally there was not a lot of gravy and I would like a bit more. Don't be stingy please. Sunday roast pork..I'm just going to be honest. It was very disappointing very dry and hardly any gravy, like come on the Sunday roast without gravy is not a roast. Don't even get me started on the service. It was pretty quiet when i went. The service was horrendous We sat down at our table and the waiter took almost 30 minutes to ask for our drink and 30 minutes to collect our plates. The waiter rather spent time looking after a baby than the customers. Will not be coming back

When I looked at the menu and saw a burger for £18 I immediately imagined a feast stacked so high id need a ladder to reach the top...a piping hot succulant beef patty topped with crispy bacon , dripping with cheddar cheese , onion rings , gherkins and many more mouth watering fillings...on the side I dreamed of a huge pile of steak cut chips so big they would take a week to eat and finally a generous helping of spicy slaw to lather on my food...my mouth was watering!!! You can imagine my horror when(after 45 minutes) the most sorry looking , dried up , lonely , pathetic excuse for a burger was eventually laid in front of me , a tiny handful of cold fries on the side that would fail to satisfy a toddlers hunger...I thought the rest must have fallen off as the waiter brought it from the kitchen. To make matters worse a member of staff sat near us to eat on his break and appeared to have so many chips they were falling off his plate. Get yer act together Forgans , get those plates filled up properly , people are paying damn good money for this utter garbage , id have been better off going to Greggs across the road for a Beefy Bake. AVOID

The waiter tipped his tray over one of our party spilling 3 coffees and 2 pints. They removed the service charge from our bill to compensate 🤔 I would have expected to get the drinks they spilt as well complimentary ...... but what do I know

Visited with husband and 2 grown up children before a show. The menu is quite compact but we all managed to choose different dishes so we could try everyone's! We had crostini, fishcakes and blaggis to start. All perfectly pleasant. The crostini in particular was popular. Our mains again were lovely although I found the pork a little dry and uninspiring,the mash could have been creamier. The star of the show was the onion rings we ordered on the side - these are delicious. We didn't have time for pudding so asked for the bill. This took a while to come. When it did arrive, we noticed one of the bottles of wine hadn't been added. We pointed this out and it was taken away to be amended. We again waited a LONG time, the kids went upstairs to the bar and a server eventually returned the same bill saying they couldn't fix it and just to add the price of the wine on it! I didn't find this very professional and was actually a bit uncomfortable as I tried to work out how much we owed whilst also trying to sort out a tip! It really spoiled the end of what had been quite a nice meal. To sum up, probably wouldn't visit again The food is fine, the environment pleasant and handy obviously for the theatre! However, whilst nice enough, I found the servers to be a bit unsure and not terribly skilled in the execution of their job.
