First visit since the shutdown. Well worth it. A warm welcome and a table at entry level as requested. We had the Carrot soup which was tasty followed by the Coley for me and Steakpie for my wife. The server took the pie out of the dish for my wife too make it easier for her. The food was good, the service above average and the meal was good value. This restaurant has a nice settinh by the loch and a good view from the windows. We shall be back.

I went for a lovely lunch with my partner on Friday the 16th. My server was Liam & he was wonderful from start to finish. He gave a warm welcome, made us both excellent coffees & was nothing but kind and very attentive to us during our visit. You can see the food was very fresh and handled with care, enjoyed every single bite. I will definitely be back & I cannot wait to bring the rest of the family.

This is a family run Restaurant, which we discovered accidentally, it was only open at the weekends, because of the Virus, We had Saturday lunch and evening meal there, when we arrived for a weeks stay in Abbotsford, the following Friday we stopped by for dinner and though you had to book they managed to fit us in, the meals we had were delicious. We would certainly visit again if we are back in the area

Excellent food in pleasant surroundings - we were first-time visitors. We were planning a stayover in Melrose; I saw the reviews for Herges, and found the menu to be very interesting. So we booked for a Saturday night.We were welcomed and shown to our table - all tables appeared well separated or screened, so good Covid-19 safety here. The orders were taken in a timely manner. Our food was excellent - I had the Haggis, Potato & Spring Onion Cake starter followed by the Pork Belly - both were excellent, tasty and beautifully served. Mrs Pic’n’Mix chose the Chicken Liver Parfait followed by the Rump Steak - all served in a similarly well presented way.Sadly no room for a dessert this time. I’d love to come back another time in daylight to see the view across the loch, and try some thing else on the menu....

Have enjoyed fine meals at this stylish restaurant for many years, but today was special: first day after lockdown. The vegan meal was quite the best ever, while the rump steak was grilled to perfection. The staff as always friendly and quietly efficient, like being served by really nice family members.

Saw that they claimed it was dog friendly so on a wet, cold and windy day I went in to check if it was OK to have lunch with our two very small dogs. It wasn’t busy so was surprised to be told that the only table we could sit at was the one right by the drafty cold table by the door. Didn’t think this was very welcoming or friendly so went back into Melrose and had a lovely meal (and welcome) at Burt’s Hotel (again).

I booked a seat, and asked for a table above the window viewing area due to my wife being unsteady on her legs. Time booked was 1 p.m. This was accepted. Arrived a few minutes early ,weather atrocious,as we walked toward the reception area,a lady came toward us, I said I have a booked table overlooking the viewing area. Thats when it all fell away. Someone had taken our booked table. The receptionist/waitress asked if we would like to sit downstairs,normally people would, but being partially sighted as not walking too well, we said this was the reason we asked for a table on the same level, but enjoying the view of the loch.We were then asked to take a seat ,a menu would be brought over and we ordered drinks. No menu, no drinks.Eventually we were just about to leave when same receptionist/waitress asked us to a table, the was outside the door to the corridor where the toilets are. Not much view. We ordered our meal,which by now our appitite had waned.We only had a crayfish salad.It was o.k. but that was all. Then we had a sweet and I asked at the same time ordering our sweets I asked for black coffee and cream when we had finished our sweets. YesYesYes came the male waiters reply.Well it didn't come,so we waited to catch a waitress's eye and told her we had ordered coffees for after our sweets, this was not put on the order sheet. The bill was checked and no coffee. So we asked for two black coffees with cream. These came ,we drank up an paid. them left. No " So sorry etc". Hence a zero rating. We won't be visiting Herges -on-the Loch again.

Lovely family meal, slightly dampened although in no way the fault of the staff at the restaurant, by the behaviour of two drunk middle aged women who cursed and swore continuously in front of our 5 and 8 year old daughters. The above aside a very friendly and cosy atmosphere, staff were polite and catered for all our needs. Would highly recommend a visit.

Ignore the naysayers. This was the first time my wife and I have been here, and we were very impressed. The location is great, the Hergés theme quirky. We came on the recommendation of my mother, a fickle beast, who rates it very highly for her vegetarian diet. We, alas, are carnivorous, but were certainly not disappointed. Our wedding anniversary intact, with no hint of a divorce looming due to poor choices, we lunched on beautiful plates of chicken, and guinea fowl. I cannot rate the chicken, as my wife guarded it like a jealous pit bull, but my guinea fowl was beautiful; splendidly cooked, melt in the mouth, with lovely shallots, picklet beet, wilted spinach, heritage carrots and fondant potatoes. The chicken had magnificent potatoes, cabbage and pancetta, and a stuffing of cheese. It looked marvellous. Portion size was just right, particularly if you have a fairly moderate appetite, and left enough room for desserts, which were very good, but not as good as the mains. Sorry! Service was excellent; our waiter and waitresses both attentive and considerate, never overdoing it or leaving us feeling neglected. Overall, a delightful experience, and we will most certainly be back. Unless, in the meantime, I find another wife prepared to share her chicken.

Sited in a surprisingly tranquil spot amid a quiet housing development, the surrounding trees and vista across the man-made Loch make this a special location. The modern building takes full advantage of the views with a large two storey cathedral window wall and mezzanine inside. We have found the service to be very willing and helpful although the food did take quite a while to arrive considering it was only a couple of ‘sandwiches’. However, we did enjoy the lunchtime filled ciabattas (coronation chicken and a BLT) and they were very attentive of avoiding a particular salad ingredient for us. The fillings were generous and well flavoured and the accompanying salads fresh, colourful and well presented. It’s a decent neighbourhood bistro.

I ordered their cajun panini and my friend ordered a pie. It took 40 minutes for the food to come. My panini was a couple of bits of chicken between two dry bits of bread no butter or sauce or any thing to reduce the dryness. My friends pie was just bits of fat floating in water with a pastry top. He gave some to out dog and both of them have had very bad stomachs since.

Love the location of this place right on a nan made lake with swans and ducks!! Inside is really nice too with great decor and ambience. The pizza was really good value considering the size and toppings and was delicious. Only slight issue was starter of haggis smelt a bit off and had to send back but management were very apologetic and gave me a free glass of wine and took it off the bill. This wouldn’t stop me from returning and if I lived near I would be having pizza regularly. Other food looked really nice too.

When we had finished we, again, sat for ages and no one came to clear our table or to ask if we wanted puddings or coffee. We decided to leave and made our way to the cash desk and paid for our food.

She offered us a menu with 4 choices, which was served with white/brown bread, scones, cake and a selection of tray bakes together with tea and coffee.

Having travelled up from Brighton to stay with friends in Edinburgh for the festival, we took a day out to visit Abbotsford with a lunch at Herges en route. I have to confess that my first impression of the restaurant was of it being somewhat lacking in atmosphere, however the lunch more than made up for my initial impression, with each dish proving to be imaginative and delicious. We all had the lamb, and agreed it was superb. Rarely have I tasted such beautifully cooked (slightly pink) tender meat served with such delicious goodies. One of the best meals I've had in quite while, served by charming and attentive staff. If I lived nearer I would be a regular customer, but sadly Brighton is a tad too far!

I am fortunate to live close by and have visited Herges 3 or 4 times since my last review, when clearly they were having a bit of a blip and didn't produce their usual high standard of cuisine.

We were staying as a family locally in Darnick and was wanting somewhere to go for dinner. So glad we found this place via tripadvisor reviews.

Have had a meal here tonight. It was an excellent meal with beautiful food. Staff very attentive and pleasant. However when we came to pay the bill they informed us their card machine was not working and asked if we could pay cash. When getting together the cash we accidentally payed too much.( We had already told the waitress that their tip was on the plate and not in the cash payed for the meal.) The waitress came with our change and said did we realised we had payed too much. We said we had not but she took our change away; we had to ask for it but was only given back the overpayment and not our change for the bill. Put a bit of a dampener on a lovely evening.

Great place & great surroundings. Staff is courteous and food excellent. We have only been there for lunch (3 times) but must try it also in the evening. An additional bonus is the short walk round the lake after eating.

Had dinner here tonight with family and I cannot fault this place. My son who has nut and sesame seeds allergy was treated fantastically. The staff were so helpful and even the head chief came and spoke to both me and my 9 year old son. The kids meal was a great portion size for him. He said it was the best meal ever. I had the chicken with haggis and it was that good I nearly licked the plate. Great value for money and good portion size. Will definitely be back. Thanks for a fantastic service

Called in while passing to buy a coffee and a can of Diet Coke. The coffee was reasonably priced at £2.20 for an americano, the can of Diet Coke at £2.60 however was not. I cannot comment how expensive the menu is.

My elder son and I had lunch on the first Saturday in August. It has been about five weeks since we were last there. The menu had been substantially updated, which presented a challenge to decide between old favourites or go for one of the new dishes. In the end, we both went for a new dish.
