Once Upon A Table in South Lanarkshire

Had a lovely lunch, everyone enjoyed the food.

Loved our birthday Sunday lunch here, amazing food and friendly staff. Will definitely revisit.

Lovely wee place. Food was lovely. Will definitely be back

What a lovely wee place! Decor was lovely, food was delicious & the staff were attentive & friendly...I will be back!

Little gem of a restaurant. Really enjoyed our meal.

We are only after moving into the EK area and had heard about Once upon a table…everything was incredible the food the service the playlist we will definitely be back ☺️

Lovely little restaurant. The food was good and plentiful, and the service was excellent. I would really recommend this place. I would recommend booking a table as it was packed out when I was there

Fantastic food and probably one of the best restaurants in Scotland.

My Dad, daughter and I had lunch today and the food was delicious. My Dad and I had the steak pie. The meat was cooked perfectly, the gravy was lovely and the pastry was light and crispy. My daughter is fussy so she only had chips but enjoyed them. The service was great too. Nick, our server, was friendly, polite and attentive. I will definitely be back.

Lively food and brilliant service 10/10

Wee gem in East Kilbride. Food was excellent. Attentive and friendly staff. All in a great experience.

It was a lovely experience eating here with family and friend will certainly be returning here soon best meal for a long time

Popped in for some lunch on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Service was quick and friendly, food was lovely and for a good price. Would happily come back to try more options from the menu.

Fitted us in late on a Saturday at short notice. We both had the special fish scallops and tempura asparagus and it was delicious and a good size. I had a duo of duck and wouldn't hesitate to order it again, my wife had lamb fillet which was also top drawer. Deserts were excellent as well and the price was excellent. Would recommend to anyone to visit.

Food was fabulous, staff were perfect, good mix of being attentive and helpful but leaving us be so not overpowering at all. The Menabrea on tap was lovely too. I would recommend to anyone and wish them great success, it is a place I will hopefully return to many times. Portion sizes were perfect allowing us to have three courses without feeling uncomfortable.

Partner liked the food more than me. Suspect the fish wasn't haddock but Pollock or cod. Very slow service, took 2 hours for the meal. Very noisy due to the small size.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. Went last night with friends and really loved it. 4 of us all had different starters and main courses and everything superb!

We had a wonderful meal this evening, first time visiting this lovely restaurant and boy was it a great find! I had looked at reviews and the restaurant had great promise and it definitely lived up to its reputation. The food was excellent, loads of yummy choices on the menu, everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. Service was fantastic and the drinks menu was excellent. Will definitely be back.

This restaurant is small and intimate with a fairly extensive, mouth-watering menu. Ambience was perfect for us with candles and low-level lighting. Tempura vegetables to start and lamb fillets for main were memorable. Will definitely be back 👍

It was my first visit. My wife had been before and was impressed. Quite a small restaurant, but they managed to give everyone enough space. Service was prompt, and our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I would rate the food quality as exceptional.

Everything was fantastic atmosphere, service friendly welcoming staff very attentive, surf n turf was amazing will definitely be back and would 100% recommend this small gem

Visited Once Upon a Table today 26/02/24 for lunch. Absolutely pleasantly surprised wasn’t sure about trying due to first impressions from outside, prime reason why one should never judge a book by the cover. Absolutely Great Restaurant every course WOW my friend and I compliments to the chef. The waiter was so professional and friendly amazing personal touch from decor to environment to the service to the menu. Everything was Excellent.

First time at this restaurant, certainly wont be the last, food and service was abslutely fabulous. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Went to this restaurant tonight with friends that we were staying with. Absolutely gorgeous meal, fantastic service, and the the Chocolate spheres for desert were devine. There were 5 of us, we had 3 courses plus drinks and wine. It was very good value for money. Definitely recommend this place.

Staff very helpful and courteous. Meal was fantastic and well presented. Cooked to perfection. Possibly the best restaurant in East Kilbride.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Service was impeccable and the food was absolutely spectacular. The staff went above and beyond for me due to dietary requirements. The chef's are absolutely top notch and created beautiful food for us. Can honestly say I have not experienced anything as good as this place in a long time. Best restaurant in East Kilbride by far! Proper wee hidden gem. We have found our new favourite place <3

Terrific food, really nice atmosphere, great service, first time we have been here and we will definitely be back.

On 03-02-24 we visited for the first time and had a fantastic quality dining experience, everything was superb. Would thoroughly recommend Once upon a Table to all discerning diners.

Stumbled upon this amazing place by chance on TripAdvisor. Booked it for a 22nd birthday and it was the best choice. The atmosphere is brilliant, playing music that wasn’t too loud or too quiet. Server was amazing and was happy to answer all our questions. It was the best burger I’ve ever had, so tasty and the portions were perfect sized. Can’t wait to come back here!

Another fabulous night at Once upon a table. We were a large party in on a busy night. The service was excellent and the food delicious.

Date night with the Mrs! Was magic

Excellent food and excellent service. Will be back.

Amazing food really enjoyed it. Staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere was excellent 👌 10 out of 10

Love this restaurant, we've been quite a few times now and have never been disappointed . The food is always presented beautifully and tastes amazing, on our visit this time we had the tomahawk steak and both of us loved it, the accompiant of baby baked potatoes with cheese leek and onion filling was absolutely delicious, compliments to the chef. The waiter was a delightful young man, extremely polite and pleasant. We can't wait for our next visit

This place is the definition of a hidden gem! 💎 Came to the restaurant for 7pm booking, the place was packed. One of the best waiters I've experienced in a long time. Explained that a few folk were just finishing up, he directed me to a pub a few shops down. 10 minutes later he came to this bar and escorted us to our table. Outstanding service! I ordered the steak sizzler, omg it was out of this world. Honestly team, the place is amazing. We will be back again and again.

Excellent service, second to none. The food was exceptional. Excellent value for money. Lovey, intimate atmosphere. Toilets are spotlessly clean. pièce de résistance was the Molten Brown hand wash and hand lotion in the toilets.

What a little gem.of a place. Staff were lovely and the food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. Everything we had was fantastic. Would highly recommend and I will certainly be back for another visit soon. Cannot fault this place. Well done. Food done right ✅️

Surf and turf deal, certainly wasn't fillet steak, tough overcooked, sinuay and full of gristle.. Had to ask for sauce and prawns, 6 small cold prawns is not acceptable.. My partner didn't want a fuss but I complained to waiter who looked embarrassed at rubbish meat left on plate. This wasn't cheap and overall bill nearly £80...we went home for beans on toast as starving.. It didn't seem a normal night.

Purchased Surf and Turf deal to enjoy after new year for partners belated birthday. Ok, where to start.. service good, sizzling steak..??.. Was definitely not fillet as purchased, had to ask for sauce and prawns.. Huge chunks of tough inedible meat, 6 small salad prawns... just awful, not sure what was wrong and waiter looked embarrassed 🙁.... Can't believe I left wanting beans on toast....

Sunday dinner was excellent. Dined out here a few times before and never been disappointed by the food or the staff what did spoil it tonight was the professional moaner at another table who repeatedly was overheard saying how lovely the food was but complained to staff how dreadful it was. Some folk!! Why can’t they just enjoy a night out without making it miserable for others.

Excellent service and menu, food was plentiful and well presented, tasty, inexpensive

I have used the restaurant regularly for corporate entertaining and never been disappointed. Most recently we booked it out for our annual staff /client party and it was amazing . Mark and his team were happy to deal with all our requests and nothing was too much trouble .The food was excellent and good value not the normal restrictive Christmas menu. This restaurant deserves all its success and I highly recommend .

Had such a wonderful evening meal here with family. It has a lovely cosy atmosphere and the staff were attentive. It's a very busy place and can see why as the food was fantastic , will definitely be back and recommending to friends.

We called to book a table and were told 4.30pm or 8.30pm was available. After checking it suited us all, we called back and confirmed the time. The young man confirmed 4.30pm once again and took our deposit. When we arrived they reckoned we were late, which we gently disputed. They made up a table and we carried on with our evening. It was only after we had eaten our starter and were selecting our main course that the waiter informed us that we would need to vacate our table by 5.50pm. Giving us 1hr and 20mins to eat a three course meal. We were shocked and angry that they waited to tell us this after we had started our meal. If we had known we would have chosen to leave and go elsewhere. The owner couldn’t have cared less and would not consider the fact that the restaurant could be at fault. Arrogant doesn’t justify his tone or dismissive manner. He just couldn’t care. His only concern was to get us out for a big booking that was coming in. They wouldn’t serve us a drink, in case it delayed our exit. Although the food was nice, it wasn’t worth us all leaving with indigestion. They are also packing customers into a small area, very claustrophobic. Beware and double check your booking time or consider trying one of the many other, more spacious restaurants in EK. We certainly will not return.

First time visiting this lovely restaurant, staff were so nice and the food was fantastic

We tried this restaurant after a recommendation from a friend. The food was delicious, staff very accommodating and friendly. Will be revisiting and would highly recommend.

Just had lunch here and what can I say..service was impeccable and food was exquisite..had the beef shin Wellington which was lovely..would highly recommend to anyone looking for some topclass food to pop in and give it a try .Will definitely be back..keep up the great work guys..

We came here for our anniversary and were not disappointed! Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and the staff could not have been more attentive (but not too over powering). We will definitely be back!

Outstanding, great menu options, welcoming and friendly service. Happy to go again.

Just superb, belated birthday lunch with friend. Gorgeous prosecco and Whispering Angel rose wine, yes we did eat as well, my friend had the cauliflower starter I had the chicken tempura, both fab. I chose the seabass with ratatouille and sautéed potato, friend chose chicken....

What a great find! Located in the village of East Kilbride, this 30 cover restaurant really is a wee jewel. Menu isn't huge but it's ample and everything is cooked fresh. There's a special board for the a la carte selection and a good selection...

The food was nice and the staff were pleasant, but the price of drinks were outrageous! £7.50 for a vodka and £2.50 for a Dash of lemonade! Not even a can of sprite or 7up - a dash and £11 for a glass of wine....

First time here for me and I'll definitely be back, and I'll certainly recommend it.

I have been to Once Upon a Table twice and I am going again next week. Food was great, service was great, friendly staff. A really nice place to enjoy a lovely meal. See you all soon.

Wife and went for dinner had a fabulous dining experience. On a previous visit gave it an average review. They have redeemed themselves. Great food and service. Perfectly served gins.

The husband and I went in for dinner, 2 course, I had scallops, he had haggis, beeps & tatties, then we both choose surf & turf for dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Good portion sizes. The staff are friendly and welcoming, lovely place to go! Would highly recommend. Thank you

Absolutely the best restaurant in town. Ian, the chef would tell Ramsey where to go! 1st class ingredients used in every meal. Stephano the front of house/ waiter is so attentive, with such fantastic people skills, is an asset to the restaurant. Treat yourself to a great "fine dinning" treat.

Best restaurant in East Kilbride Fantastic food and reasonably priced for the quality

Had another fantastic meal at Once upon a table. Staff are friendly and professional, and made us feel very welcome. Looking forward to our next visit!

Food is really nice. The only thing lacking was aircon. It’s incredibly hot given the current weather

Stephano was such a delight to meet. Gave impartial advice, his table service was 1st class . A delightful person to grace our table. The food was near-on Michelin . Full credit to Chef, go on, treat yourself, even the wine list is spot on!...

Loved this wee gem, staff outstanding, chef second to none. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be back.

Second time at this restaurant and again, didn’t disappoint. The food was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Very cosy atmosphere and thoroughly enjoy dining here. It really is a hidden gem in East Kilbride. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Lovely place to try. We got a great deal on lunchtime specials, good plateful we had fish and chips which were lovely along with ice cream 🍦 😋 It's definitely worth a visit for lunch

First time here but will definitely be back. Great food and service.

Enjoyed our meal very much. The service was top class and the food delightful.

A very enjoyable dinning experience.. food and atmosphere was excellent 👍👌
