Roasted & Toasted in Falkirk

Been here many many times over tge years and always found reasonable value for money. Unfortunately the service is beyond poor and the food falls into the same catagory. On our previous visit, we waited nearly 30 mins for the plates to be cleared & nothing was forthcoming. My Son wanted dessert but i couldn't wait any longer, there was only two other tables in. At that point, I got up to settle the bill, staff crowded around a table chatting with no awareness of customers. People at the Bar were talking amongst themselves saying there was no service. On looking at the menu, you would think you are in a high end establishment, £35 for Fillet Steak and £3.95 for a sauce?? I was recently in a restaurant which is on the Michelin Guide in Queensferry and they were serving Dry Aged Steak for £34, with a sauce included. The food i received came with what looked like factory prepped Carrots and overcooked Peas. I'm sorry, but if you can't prepare your own Veg and can't cook Frozen Peas then you have no right charging the type of money they are asking for in here. Soggy Garlic bread is another example.of the quality of food on offer. Looking at other reviews, the response from the owner suggests that he has possibly got a high opinion of his establishment. That mentality was maybe justified in years gone by but you can't live on past glories. It is has been quiet on my last 2 visits and going by other reviews, the reasons why should be given some merit. It is sad to see the decline.

I was at The Courtyard for lunch for my sons Birthday and we are so glad we did. Last time we were here many years ago I said I wouldn't be back but it's all changed, staff, renovation ect and now it's my family's favourite place to eat. It is affordable. Wasnt left waiting for long periods before and in-between meals and that make a big difference when my son has adhd and isn't able to sit and wait for to long. Food was spectacular and has all the favourites like mac n cheese and steakpie ect. The desserts was lush. The staff we so kind and welcoming. They made my son feel extra special for his birthday and listened to everything my son had to say and he really enjoyed telling the ladies about his his day and they listened and communicated well with him and leaving my boy happy. My son ordered the chocolate brownie (his absolute favourite) they brought it out with a sparkler in it for him and he was made up and made his feel extra special. This place & the staff definitely helped to give my son thee best birthday. It's a cozy atmosphere where you just feel comfortable. Left feeling very happy and stuffed lol. 100% recommend as you won't be disappointed. Ps the salt n pepper sizzler is my new favourite, so if you like abit of spice then give it a Try. Thanks Ladies see you again soon.

Very good meal at reasonable price. Great service - by Anna - very friendly person. Would recommend this restaurant.

Just been to boardwalk tonight 15th Dec for dinner what a lovely experience. Lovely service, lovely food just more sauce with the sticky toffee pudding please as not enough. Christmas lights were beautiful. It was my first visit here and hopefully it won't be the last.

Brilliant beer garden in summer and nice bar area.
