You go through a wee arch and it then opens up into a lovely restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Omg. What a waste of money. Never again I'm gonna go there. For the price I was expecting a nice food. Me and my family got rubbish. I wish to have take away at least it would be more tasty and cheaper. Me my husband and our two boys. Burgers dry hard like rock empty. Nothing inside. Chips burn dry and hard. Chicken goujons like little bricks.water in bottles was warm. Food has no seasoning. My boys had just a bite and they didn't want to eat any more. And they are not fussy eaters. Me and my husband just a little bit. We won't be back there that is for sure.very disappointing. Have a take away.

I booked a roast dinner for my mum and her friends at Forgans. I put in a request to make it halal and they were super accomodating. They all loved their meals and had a great afternoon together! Thanks so much for making it a lovely experience for them!! Particular thanks to Robin who made it happen.

Venimos bastante a menudo y decidimos un viernes por la tarde libre para entrar a tomar una copa. El bar conocía nuestra orden antes de preguntar y vino y verificó si queríamos nuestro habitual. Las bebidas salieron rápido y eran excelentes. La música también era muy buena, así que decidimos quedarnos a tomar otra copa.

Out for a birthday lunch, and despite the slick interior, varied menu and friendly staff we ultimately left disappointed and still hungry. For 5 of us the cost came to over £180, prices were high most options but the high cost didn’t deliver any better quality meal. The staff are very friendly and not sure whether there was trouble in the kitchen but it took 55 minutes for 4 starters to arrive. It should be noted 3/4 were pate (cold dishes) with the other being scallops- I would avoid ordering these with the high price tag offering little in size or taste. 3 of our party ordered the roast which came mostly cold with clearly microwaved and not very nice cauliflower cheese (Yorkshire pudding was great though). We also had 2 burgers which came in a small portion, little flavour and pretty average. If it wasn’t for the steep price tag and long wait times I would love to have given this place a better review as I can tell front of house work really hard and the place does have a great ambience. Seriously though the food was a shocking quality and the price is almost laughable for what you end up getting. Sorry :(

Shockingly bad experience recently at Forgans. 1. Took 15 minutes after seating to be brought menus 2. Had to find someone to take our drinks orders (3 wait staff and a host were standing by the till) 3. Asked a staff member about an unlisted price - they didn't know. 4. Wed been there over 1 hour when our drinks arrived 5. Long, long wait between courses 6. As we got our deserts they had the audacity to tell us we'd have to hurry as they needed the table back despite it being their fault it was taking so long 7. Was given the bill without the deposit taken off 8. The bill was taken away before I could say anything because they'd made a "mistake" and "they'd forgot to include an offer" 9. The bill came back MORE expensive (they'd taken it away to add a tip for themselves!!) 10. I had to ask for the deposit to be removed from the bill and asked for the tip to be removed.

We were in for lunch at 1pm. 6 people. Order took 1 hour to come. Fish and chips were great, burgers were bit dry and the prawn and chilli linguine lacked flavour, seasoning and prawns 4 in each bowl. Bit disappointing as we had family up from Manchester so bit embarrassed by service and food.

Nos quedamos muy decepcionados después de nuestra visita a Forgan’s Broughty Ferry el sábado 5 de abril. Habíamos reservado una mesa para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposa, pero desafortunadamente, la experiencia no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. A pesar de hacer nuestro pedido de comida poco después de sentarse, esperamos más de una hora y no llegó comida. Nuestras bebidas estaban servidas, pero con dos niños hambrientos y molestos y sin señales de nuestras comidas, no tuvimos más remedio que irnos. Esto descarriló por completo lo que debería haber sido una celebración de cumpleaños especial. Pagamos en su totalidad por las bebidas que apenas tuvimos tiempo de disfrutar, y nos fuimos sintiéndonos increíblemente decepcionados. Como clientes habituales que han elegido Forgan’s previamente para ocasiones especiales, incluida la Navidad, esta experiencia fue una verdadera decepción. La falta de comunicación y la forma en que nos trataron cuando explicamos que teníamos que irnos solo aumentó la frustración. Esperamos sinceramente que haya sido un incidente aislado, pero sobre la base de esta experiencia, el nivel de servicio ha disminuido notablemente.

Last minute stop for tea tonight, really not impressed. We both had the Lamb hotpot and the meat was not tender at all. Was chewy, full of gristle and we ended up leaving half the meat on the side of the plate. Waited for 10 mins to mention it to the staff but ended up giving up, going up ourselves and asking for the bill. We did get a little off the bill but not an enjoyable experience. The haggis bon bons were by far and away the best bit of the meal. Cannot speak for the rest of the food but would steer anyone away from the chewy hotpot, it was Fray Bentos quality.

Cenamos el viernes por la noche, la comida era muy cara por lo que te dan. El servicio era muy deficiente y faltaba supervisor o personal directivo. Pedimos vieiras y nos entregaron un plato diminuto con 2 vieiras cortadas por la mitad, mencionamos nuestra decepción y nos dijeron que nuestro comentario se pasaría al chef, cada porción era de £ 14. 00 así que £ 28. 00 por 4 vieiras. . . . . . . nuestra principal era ensalada de pollo y filete de solomillo. A la ensalada le faltaban dos elementos críticos, los crutones y el tocino. El solomillo indicaba en el menú que estaba glaseado con mantequilla de ajo. Esto también estuvo ausente. Encontré la noche en general una decepción y muy caro para la zona como se ve filete de solomillo en otros establecimientos locales por una fracción del precio. También intentó pedir un postre para que les dijeran que no tenían ninguno.

Haven’t been for a while because of previous bad experiences. This visit was not much better. Some of the items on the menu unavailable and what was was certainly not of a standard expected for what was paid. Food continues to be unexciting and unsatisfactory quality. To be fair the service has improved since our last visit. Won’t be back - much better food options in the Ferry.

Came here solo on Saturday, 6 staff members behind the bar and no one greeted me, waited and nothing, went to till area and honestly thought I was invisible lol finally got seated and ordered glass of wine, waited about 20 minutes for it. Took an hour to get my starter, overcooked scallops on celeriac root watery mash that tasted of nothing served in a clamshell on top of a few salad leaves, literally in between two plates hidden. I ordered another wine before starter came and in between bites kept reaching for empty glass, oh still waiting. I put a timer on from when the waiter collected my plate…I got to half an hour before I decided I’m leaving. I went for a nice meal but never got it. I felt like a prisoner, knowing I can’t walk out without paying and waiting on my food. Never left a restaurant feeling angry, hungry, sad and disappointed. Still charged me 27 quid for the two glasses of wine but as a gift didn’t charge me for starter and main…I never got my main wtf

We decided since we were in broughty to try Forgan’s,as we had not been before, it looked a nice place staff were very professional,took us to table and ordered our meal,when it arrived, mine was a fish supper my wife had chicken and broccoli, very disappointed, my chips were over done, have not seen a fish that shape ,mushy peas were not nice at bottom, my wife’s broccoli was hard and chicken was chewy,now to the defence of our waiter I pointed out some of these problems,we ate what we could, did not have a sweet, they did take 25% off our bill, but we will not be back.even with the 25% off was not worth the price we paid.

Visited on Saturday with my husband, we were seated promptly and can’t find any fault with the waiting staff who were polite,helpful and friendly. The food we received was good but there were numerous items unavailable from the menu which meant my husband had fish and chips as his FIRST and SECOND choices were unavailable. My main complaint was that I ordered Cointreau and lemonade to drink and was twice served triple sec with no apology. On querying this at the bar the barman said he had not served Cointreau but I had been charged for this !!

My friend and I were in Broughty Ferry for the weekend and we had heard such good things about Forgans we booked a table for Saturday night. Booking was for 7.30 to 10pm. We arrived, were seated and ordered no problem. We had a nice meal but as soon as we’d finished eating, 9.15pm , a server told us we had to vacate the table in ten minutes as the were setting up for an event. We had been having such a nice time but this put a real damper on our evening. No apology. Poor show.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a wonderful lunch here at the weekend. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much to ask. The Guava Bien cocktail was definitely the star of the show!

Was here a number of weeks ago and we both had the fish & chips. Looked quite nice on arrival. However, later that night my partner and I had an upset stomach. As we didn’t eat anything else that day, it had to be the food from here. I’m guessing it was the oil they used.

Great venue but the food was absolutely horrific. I don’t normally complain about food, but that was one of the worst meals I’ve had in years. Will never ever be back.

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.

Came here with my family who flew in for graduation. Howard made us feel so welcome and made the whole experience unforgettable and was so attentive throughout the meal. Food was amazing too but wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much without Howard.

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.

Thanks to our server Howard for taking great care of our hen party on Saturday evening. Food was delicious and plentiful, cozy atmosphere and nothing too much trouble for Howard (Captain!). Will definitely be back.

I went with a group and the menu was very basic (soup, sausage with mashed potatoes and a biscuit), I can't comment on what is normal but in general it gave me a good impression.

I just nipped in for a quick soft drink and a blether with my dad and his dog, we were outside as it was a nice day, waited on promptly. The piped music was dire, otherwise all good : )

What a find and so good we went twice. Breaded deep fried Mac and Cheese balls , loaded Brisket Hash Brown's, the absolute bomb 💣 😋. Throw in great service and Dog friendly . I'd probably drive from Ayr to eat there .

Our tour group stopped for dinner. My wife and I had the Roast Pork. We were both very satisfied. The service was exceptional. We had a group of 24 people. I'd like to especially thank Howard for his attentiveness and enjoyable personality. Thank you, Howard!

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.

Un pequeño pub de moda de ambiente relajado. El personal era muy amable y acogedor. Paramos a tomar una copa al principio, luego al ver algo de la comida que salía de la cocina, decidimos quedarnos a comer, y contentos de haberlo hecho la comida era excelente y muy llena. También terminamos quedándonos a tomar unos cócteles, que eran buenos y a buen precio, pedí un cóctel fuera de carta. Ni siquiera un problema, apareció tan rápido como los demás. Fabuloso servicio por parte del equipo anoche. Sat 26th April 2025 .
