The staff were enthusiastic and friendly and the food was just what we needed after our walk to look at the beautiful Solway Firth. We had the gyros and a very hearty carrot soup.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. It is beautiful decorated throughout. Love the quirky wallpaper in the toilets. The service was impeccable, lovely friendly lasses. The food was top notch. I highly recommend the risotto. The cocktails were lovely. The only slight niggle... I think the poached pair was quite small, it was more like half a pear cut in 2. The bed of biscuit crumbs I think was a chain brand biscuit. I think it should be homemade shortbread. I would of preferred the chocolate piece to be drizzled over the pear as I'm sure that is what the menu said. Please take this as constructive rather than a complaint. It would definitely be our first choice of restaurant if we visit that area again. Thankyou guys.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and I particularly loved the décor and feel of the place, everything was spotless, including the quirky boutique styled toilet facilities.

Just a cautionary 'tail' for those with four-legged friends. Popped in on a Friday afternoon, hoping to enjoy a nice meal. We sadly didn't get the opportunity as we had our little dog with us. Our own fault...we hadn't thought to double-check as so many previous reviews mention that dogs are welcome. They are - but only at the outside tables, which wasn't really an option on a wet day in November. The place looked lovely though and the staff were very apologetic. Maybe we'll try again next summer.

Beautiful venue, attentive friendly staff and delicious food! We had been staying locally for the weekend and came for a Sunday lunch before the long drive home. Perfect end to our trip - the food was fresh and perfectly cooked, with ample portions. I had beef and my husband had the pork - served with cracking gravy and a perfect Yorkshire pudding. And as Yorkshire folk born and bred we know a good Yorkshire Pud! The pâté starter and sticky toffee pudding dessert were some of the best we’ve ever tasted! Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

On arrival we were greeted by friendly welcoming staff. The decor was very tasteful and restaurant very clean. I ordered the beef stew which was delicious and very filling. My husband and my friend ordered the chicken goujons. They both commented on how tasty it was and good sized portions. Our food was very much value for money. Staff were attentive and very helpful. We would recommend a visit here should you be passing through Annan or staying near by. A lovely restaurant. Thank you

I booked, but went 1.5 hours earlier than planned. The restaurant had just opened for its evening service. They were very amenable to my change of booking, but as I was the first customer of the night I was grateful. The food was really tasty and pleasantly presented. The waiting staff were attentive and efficient. They all scared me with their Halloween outfits. The toilets were impeccably clean and overall every aspect of the restaurant was considered and dazzling. I ate well and was happy to tip for their great food and waiting staff.

We had a fantastic evening at Our Place. The service from when we stepped through the door was brilliant. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much hassle for them. The food was well presented, tasty, and hot, and we didn't have to wait long for anything. Portion sizes were just right for us too. The panzanella I had for the starter was hands down the best presented panzanella dish I've ever had, along with a fresh side salad too! The 'icing on the cake' was the dessert, which was off the specials menu 'a forbidden apple' - so delicious (and quite fancy looking!). We very much look forward to coming back 😊.

Every now and again you stumble upon a local gem. Being a wheelchair user I am often anxious about visiting new locations. But I need not have any concerns. Access is great and the es, there even an accessible loo. Happy days. Despite it being lunchtime the atmosphere was nice with good background music. The menu is varied and there is also a Tapas menu. We enjoyed the burgers and a friend recommended the steak pie. Suffice to say the food is wonderful. We found the staff to be great and very hospitable. Very welcoming. Who would have thought Annan would have such a great place to eat?! Just to recap, wheelchairs are welcome!!

Thank you so much for making our wedding day that little bit more special.

We got married in Gretna Green and I was looking for a place to eat in the evening and Our Place had a lovely menu. We booked for 16 people and I couldn't have been happier. The staff were lovely and the chef came out and confirmed everyone menu choices. The food was delicious, the presentation was great and everyone enjoyed all their food, including the children. They also had a varied range of vegan meals. The Pavlova was the best I've ever had. If fact, it was so good we went back the next night and had another lovely meal. And as full as we were still had the have the Pavlova again. I can't fault it at all and would highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.

The room and the service was spot on, absolutely fantastic. Parking was round the back then a short walk to the front. Beware in winter months as it's dark walking round. I can't comment if there is a lift but I didn't see one. Breakfast was lovely but my only negative was the portion size was small for what it cost, personally.....but, it was absolutely delicious. This hasn't impacted my 5 star rating as the place was just so lovely and accommodating and felt very peaceful.
