The Birnam Brasserie in Perth & Kinross

Just visited the Birnam Brasserie Brunch for the first time. Amazing selection of food to choose from, couldn't try it all. My husband loved his steak main course which had a delicious sauce. I had the salmon dish which was very heavy with egg, very salty and not that great. Would have preferred a simple welcome drink of champagne and not the artichoke spritz on offer. The singer was good but far too loud, whereas the saxophonist was absolutely fantastic and perfect for the ambience. Why have waiting staff in jeans? This is really a no no. Our waitress gave us fantastic service and made us feel very welcome. Overall it was a wonderful experience and will return in the future.

100% 👍 Very nice staff, good service, good food, nice atmosphere, strongly recommended, thank you for three delightful and relaxed dinner evenings!

Very nice dinner experience, very good food, super nice staff. We had few dinner evenings there during our stay at Gleneagles and really enjoyed the good service, very good food and the atmosphere.. Strongly recommended👍, we will be back. Thank you!

The mid-day brasserie of a 5-star hotel with 2 Michelin stars fot its main restaurant should make a decent fist of lunch, you might think. Well, the reality is not quite that. Menu showed some imagination: cauliflower steak, for one. But the execution was somewhat ordinary and lacking a certain gutsiness. The same could be said for the chili/garlic prawns which I plumped for as a starter. My partner’s starter and main were similarly lacklustre. All this in a somewhat stark room which, on one of the warmest days of the year, was distinctly chilly. But, and it is a big but, the delightfully friendly, professional staff staff resued the day and made the lunch an occasion to remember.

Franchement le restaurant est très joli et donne envie d’aller s’y installer. Les entrées sont bonnes mais les pâtes au secours catastrophe. La carbonara un abominable gratin. Les pâtes au crabe ça passe. Bref c’est sûrement au goût de certains mais si vous êtes adepte de la cuisine italienne commandez autre chose Sinon le personnel est super sympas et disponible

A group of 4 at Gleneagles went to the Birnham recently. We were seated in the winder garden, and from start to finish the service and the food was simply great. I recommend the prawn starter on sourdough. After a more than poor meal at the Dormy, with matching terrible service - the team at the Birnham restored our confidence in dining at Gleneagles. Thank you team Birnham. A very lovely meal - with great service.

Fantastic food, very friendly staff, lovely surroundings.

Disappointing evening. The room was very drafty and we moved tables twice. However this didn't solve the problem. The maitre'd told us they were waiting for an engineer to solve the problem of a fan connected to the fire. We couldn't really understand why we weren't seated in the main part of the restaurant, where it was warmer, instead of the conservatory.

Amazing place for a special occasion. Delicious food and wonderful service. Lovely atmosphere and settings.

Food was absolutely outstanding and great service from the staff. Great for an occasional treat.

An incredible place ! First time in Scotland and also in Gleneagles .. Really stunning 🤩 The food was quite good where service is excellent! Hopefully soon again.. if i can afford😄

Lovely lunch all in all. We have been before (to all of the restaurants on the hotel) and they are always close to perfection. This time there were more than a couple of let downs. It’s difficult as I just expect excellence here. The starters were decidedly average. I am being very positive with ‘average’ because I do love this place so much. Prawns overcooked and rubbery, salmon very heavy and not suited to the bruschetta it was served on (but I suppose that’s subjective). Fillet was absolutely lovely but one of the two sauces had such an odd taste like it was over heated and had curdled. Kids mains were really poor. Overcooked chicken to the point of a knife not going through it and minute steak full of fat. Drinks came late so wine was brought over when we were half way through our steak. Will I be back? Definitely, without question. I would recommend it still. Staff are lovely. Ambiance beautiful. Hopefully just a bad day in the kitchen.

This is a phenomenal restaurant. The welcoming from the front of house, the journey to there to your seat is just incomparable. The layout and setting is remarkable as is the comfort. The lobster was without a doubt, one of the best I’ve ever had, I cannot recommend enough, what a beautiful place, gorgeous food, 5 star service & amazing staff!!!

Beautiful restaurant, attentive staff delicious food. The lasagne was lovely and a big portion. The beef shin was melt in your mouth tasty. The half chicken was tender but you needed a sauce and a side dish. The baked salmon was awesome as was the mashed potato.

A nice restaurant serving grilled steaks and seafood. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. There was unfortunately a birthday party with around 15 children on one side of the restaurant which made it less welcoming initially. We are giving 3 stars because the pricing was not as expected, we were surprised that the £70 beef fillet (300g) came with no sides or garnish and was just meat on a lonely white plate. With each side dish at £6, you're nearly at £90 for a single signature dish which is not rated, or Michelin starred. I would recommend offering a wholesome and comfortable experience as the secondary restaurant in the hotel as opposed to pushing their limits with that menu and children's birthday parties. Overall, the quality was good.

Atmosphere and service was upto the usual fantastic standard. Food was a little under par though. Expected much better. I do love Gleneagles though and it won’t stop me returning.

From entering the venue, being seated, ordering and receiving the tasty offerings, the service was exceptionally good. The food is rich and flavourful with careful attention to texture and presentation. Finally, a wonderful desert capped off the experience with a refreshing tang.

Great Burger and chips 🍟 🍔 Good service and food came out in good time

We went to The Birnam for lunch and the food, service and atmosphere were great! We ordered the caeser salad, beef short rib and the children’s chicken goujons with chips. Everything was really lovely.

Very cute lunch spot tucked in the Gleneagles hotel. For apps we split the buratta and it came out very cold and fresh. The Scottish salmon was perfectly cooked (beware no sides served with it, just some tomatoes). So it’s a bit on the pricier side. My friend ordered the Salmon Risotto. The risotto was perfectly cooked but I think it had a little too much herbs (thyme) taking away from the creaminess of the risotto and the flavor of the salmon. Overall the ambiance is very picture esque, but it is a but pricey. Service was great!

Loved Sunday Brunch at thr Birnam Brasserie! Fab food! Relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely book again!

Every thing was delicious so much flavours

Contained within a stunning setting of The Gleneagles, wonderful restaurant ran by attentive staff and gorgeous food that is more than worth it for a special occasion. Big shout to Daniel for our special gift. A truly memorable day.

Very rare for me to post a review for a restaurant, however on this occasion I was so astonished by the meal we had I have to leave a review ! 4 of us had a steak dinner at the Birnam last night and it was out of this world. The staff and the atmosphere was fantastic. Albeit it was a treat for the average working man I’d recommend to go at some point for a special dinning experience. The staff were amazing and although it was busy,they made us feel like special guests We will be back

Great service fantastic food and relaxed atmosphere

Excellent food and service. Such a relaxing environment. We both had fish mains, Sea Bream and Monkfish... they were excellent.

Nice venue, and friendly staff, but hugely underwhelming food. The pork and veal pasta came in a sauce so overwhelmingly chocolatey it was like a £20 crêpe

Staying at the hotel for a couple of days. Decided to try the more relaxed Brasserie for the first night dinner. The Frito Misto was ok but bland. The two plates of pasta that followed were mediocre and the second poor. At a whopping £60 for 4 soda waters the bland starter and two bowls of poor pasta I would not recommend this restaurant. I could make far superior pasta at home. Really disappointing actually and definitely not worthy of a 5star hotel. Sorry to say it was terrible.

We had reserved for dinner last night as we are staying in the hotel. We wanted a relaxed meal and thought the Brasserie sounded perfect. We were greeted and seated quickly and our waitress was quick to bring us some water. She was a really friendly girl and was, at first, very attentive. The table we were given was very dark, quite tricky to read the menu, to be honest. My husband’s meal was superb, he chose the steak tartare which was moist and spicy followed by the moules, which was an enormous portion of really plump and juicy mussels, delicious. My chicken liver pate was tasty and I had some pasta with prawns and a langoustine broth, which was very nice. The prawns were beautifully cooked but the pasta was not my favourite, a little too al dente for my taste. The cheese plate and the Mille feuille followed and they were both very impressive. This however is where we became forgotten. We sat with our finished dessert plates for an age and no one came near us to clear or get a further order for tea or more drinks. My husband had noticed that our lovely waitress had been told to help out at another area by a manager. However the other tables around us were cleared and still continued to get service by other staff. It wasn’t that there was a lack of staff at all, for the amount of covers in the restaurant last night there was ample staff and bizarrely 3 managers all standing at the door, while we still sat there. Eventually we just left, feeling extremely disappointed and totally forgotten about. A poor show and an upsetting end to our meal. My husband was given this weekend at Gleneagles for 40 years service with his employer, so to us, it was a very special meal but that really spoiled our evening.

Best food i had in a while, great selection from the menu lots of options available, see the open kitchen with the chefs running busy was very cool the food tasted amazing good service too... what i expected from a 5star.

During our recent stay we noted you can now have the Birnam Brasserie menu as room service, so we gave it a whirl. It was faultless. Venison rigatoni and Fritto Misto were superb and our starters of crab and BLT salad beautifully crisp and very tasty. We were impressed.

Ate here last Friday. Menu very limited for the fabulous setting. Service improved since our last visit.

The food is delicious, especially the chocolate desert with butterscotch sauce - incredible!! If you get served by Dora then you are in for a treat. She's brilliant!!

First time I visited Birnam Brasserie back in June 2019 it was stunning, that’s why I decided to book a dinner there for me and my partner. It was our first dinner together since having our daughter in May 2019. Things that I liked - first waiter that served us was really friendly, taste of my starter and cook on my steak. Things we didn’t like - getting seated right next to the waiter station with computer where they input orders, waiters were closer than 1m to us every time they went there to put an order in. I had to stop eating each time because they were so close it was very awkward. After waitress found out we haven't been out since the birth of our daughter she promised to take care us, but 15 minutes in sat a young couple with a screaming toddler right next to us - felt like we never left home. When our steaks arrived they were mixed up - my partner had my steak and his sides, I had his steak with my sides. We also had each others sauces so my partner smothered his in peppercorn sauce before cutting and realising it was mine. We had to ask waitress to take them back to the kitchen and swap them but my steak was covered in peppercorn sauce when I really wanted to have it with my garlic butter one. Small other detail was cherry tomatoes meant to be roasted, but mine were completely raw. I love raw tomatoes, but thats not what the menu promised. It was a shame really, because I kept trying to find excuses due to Covid, but not sure what mixed up steaks got to do with that... Probably won’t go back...

We visited with the kids. It’s a classic brasserie - very similar to the Ivy style. Menu is very interesting and my kids feel it’s the best choice menu they have ever had. High praise indeed !!!

My wife and I went with my mother who I had dined with last year and had a very nice meal. However, the service on this occasion was poor. We waited about 10 minutes before asking for some water and the excellent focaccia bread which had been served straight away previously. My mother, who's 84 and suffers from poor eyesight, ordered the fillet of plaice. All seemed well until she started to pick chunks of bone from the fish. I pointed this out to the waiter who said he would ask the chef. He didn't return. My mother found more and more chunks of bone, in fact the entire spine of the fish. There was very little meat and she couldn't see to separate it from the bone. When another waited collected the plates I again asked him why a fillet of plaice was full of bones and he said he would speak to the chef. Eventually we were told that a few other customers had complained about this and that the chef would change the title of the dish! When the bill came I couldn't believe that they had still charged for the fish so the staff went without a tip. To be fair, the cod loin I had and the pasta dish my wife had were fine but I won't be back anytime soon.

The brasserie was absolutely lovely, very well decorated and good service. Sadly I didn’t enjoy my meal - I ordered pork belly which was 75% fat throughout. The server was very kind and allowed me to reorder- however it meant my fiancé had finished his dinner and I was eating separately. The hotel were very kind to gift us 2 free desserts to celebrate what should have been our wedding weekend which was very generous and they were absolutely delicious!

Another fantastic meal at The Birnam on Thursday Dora looked after us all evening and made lots of helpful recommendations through out the night always had a smile on her face even though she was wearing a mask which can’t have been comfortable.Thanks again to all at The Birnam and to Dora.

We were staying at Duchally just across the road from Gleneagles & I booked dinner in the Birnam Brasserie. The dining area wasn't that comfortable, the staff were a bit stilted & the food was fine.We started with soft creamy Burrata which was a huge portion & served with tomato & their tasty focaccia bread. Another starter of pasta with chicken was tasty too. The chicken schnitzel was tiny in size & a bit dry (not a patch on the Ivy Edinburgh). The sea bass was tasty though.No room for dessert. A couple of glasses of wine weren't cheap!! Just under £85 which I didn't think was the best value for money.

First experience at this venue and will definitely return. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great choice of dishes and selection of drinks. I had the sea bass which was delicious.Our Hungarian waitress was first class . She was so friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Chilled atmosphere

First visit and will definitely be back. We ate here the first night of our 3 night Glenmor stay. We were meant to eat at The Dormy on our third night but went back to the Birnam. We’ve avoided The Birnm previously as it had a very pretentious French menu. Both visits were excellent with a really good range of choices. Prices are fair and we found a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc which we love so that was an added bonus. Service was excellent and there was a really good atmosphere.

Had lunch here on several occasions and thoroughly enjoyed. Yesterday I thought was really poor, rather tasteless. Our olives did not arrive with pre lunch drinks. The ambience is always excellent and nothing worse yesterday than over hearing people complaining and returning food.The staff were very efficient but the chefs need a reality check. Sorry.

make sure you book even if you are a resident in the hotel otherwise everything was excellent A bit different

Visited here on Thursday evening. Fantastic bistro type setting. Had drinks first at the bar on arrived. Positives:Welcome SettingNegatives:Staff throwing glass bottles into a bin at the bar thus loud noise every time.Female staff member who was a waitress but went into the kitchen and serving food with long untied hair.Chefs visibly eating in the kitchens.(open kitchen)No obvious supervision/leadership. Chef preparing ice cream dessert wiping plate with finger.Chefs just do not look clean and their uniforms very drab for Gleneagles. Chefs congregated behind the counters.The steaks tasted of burnt charcoal, obviously chefs not cleaning pan or grill each time.The roasted veg salad was disgraceful. £9 and it was refrigerated mush. Was returned.Overall not good at all and Gleneagles management really need to get a grip or replace the leadership and chefs in this restuarant and read other trip advisor reviews.Not worth the £110 paid.

What on earth is the food and beveridge team thinking with this restaurant. On a positive note beautiful venue, warm welcome, nice setting and clean toilets. That's it !! we sat at the bar for pre dinner drinks and was astounded at what we saw. Empty bottles being noisily thrown into bins, ice cream being dished up with dribbles being wiped by the chef fingers before serving. Veg for garnish sitting behind the bar without being covered and the kitchen. Some of the chefs looked slobby munching on food. Some with and without hats and waiting staff behind the servers without there hair tied up. The food was aweful not being a fish fan opted for steaks. The only taste was charcoal from the burnt griddle pan, pepper sauce watered down with no taste at all and the roasted veg salad as a side dish didn't arrive When it did it looked disgusting was almost freezing cold and couldn't identify any taste from this at all. Having eaten in all Gleneagles venues this was absolutely the worst and an embarrassment to the brand. We will definatelly not return.

Buena carta de vinos, gran variedad de platos de tipo internacional muy bien elaborados. La parte de la terraza tiene una decoracion excepcional y muy acogedora.

More informal than the Strathearn but still excellent with lovely staff. Children’s menus. Food very good and service with a smile

Family gave me Sunday champagne brunch for part of my birthday and what a joy it was we were dropped off from Livingston made welcome when we arrived waiting staff were superb waiter sounded French very knowledgeable and attentive all my favourites on the well presented buffet mussels oysters salmon crab cheese and biscuits etc all superb Bloody Mary was delicious specially streaky bacon in the ingredients my main course cottage pie in a a hot water pastry pie shell wowFelt relaxed in the restaurant nice pint of I p a we were getting picked up at 3 30 so we had a drink in the pleasant century bar thank you for my birthday fudge plate will definitely return when the nice weather returns thank you

We went for dinner here and were served by a lovely wee Hungarian girl who was very attentive without being intrusive (sorry didn't get your name). The food was amazing and very reasonably priced.

Had a lunch today ! Service from French Waiter excellent! Food 👎both starters not as described on menu ! Main Course for myself was Gnocchi with mushroom sauce after 25 mins wait it came with apology that Chef wasn’t happy & had to be remade ! Packet Gnocchi with tinned mushrooms a little cream & garlic was awful! My husbands Spaghetti Vongole Was not too bad considering he had to wait till mine was remade ! Waiter 10 out of 10 ! Food including stale bread 1 out of 10 👎

Lovely casual French themed restaurant. Menu is varied and will certainly fit most palettes. Service was attentive and food amazing. It’s casual and quick. I’d recommend!

Gleneagles Hotel is renowned for being a luxury brand with expensive restaurants - however the Birnam Brasserie is a fantastic way to experience a meal in the hotel at a much more ordinary price. The service, the menu, the food, the presentation and the quality are fantastic - so it's great value for money. My wife and I were here for lunch recently, during a trip north from London, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll go back whenever we get a chance.

I love Gleneagles and recommended it to some friends who visited earlier this year and had such a great time that we all booked to go back this December with our kids too. On the first day we had lunch at the new Birnam restaurant near the pool/spa. Firstly the setting is very relaxed, we ate in the section with a glass roof which felt very Mediterranean. The food is incredible and in particular the Vegan burger was by far the best burger I’ve eaten anywhere, I’m not vegan or vegetarian but was curious to try ‘Beyond Beef’ which is used in the burger, the staff were kind enough to let me try the vegan cheese before ordering as I’ve previously been unimpressed by vegan cheese and it was very good. We stayed in the restaurant for 2-3 hours and at no time felt pressured to leave, the staff are fantastic and only too happy to help with advice, the service is excellent but that goes without saying at Gleneagles. Our children were booked in to Birnam for the Saturday night as we were eating in a different restaurant and again the staff looked after them well. Next time we go to Gleneagles we’ll definitely go back to Birnam.

Outstanding lunch with family for festive feel. Relaxed dining in lovely hotel. Children’s menu available and reasonably priced. Soft drinks expensive (£5 for a Coke! ) Service attentive and friendly. Food outstanding. Lovely festive treat!

We enjoyed our dinner, the menu is varied with plenty of choice. It has a relaxed atmosphere, the staff were pleasant but the service was a bit slow.

I asked why no scallops on the menu when there are 2 oyster starters. Apparently forreigners like oysters. Also asked why no rack of lamb. "We are not Weatherspoons" how rude and condesending. Plus do Weathespoons serve rack of lamb? Doubt it.

Monthly brunch is worth travelling to Gleneagles to experience.

We regularly dine at the Birnam Brasserie and are always warmly welcomed by Kelly and her top team in particular Alana, Lorenzo, George and Dora. The menu offers a good selection of dishes to suit most palates and budgets, all beautifully prepared and presented. Informal surroundings complete the relaxed ambience and every visit is a memorable occasion.

Wow, there has been lots of updating and changes at Gleneagles and the

I have numerous food allergies and struggle to get a good meal out. This restaurant went out of their way to get it right for me without making me feel like I was being difficult. I had the sea bass and it was wonderful. My husband had a normal meal and he loved his as well. Our server, Josh, was prompt and attentive. He did a fabulous job. We will eat here again before we leave!!

Never liked the food in here but they have finally got the menu bang on and the food was fantastic and staff and service which has always been great still is great , my new favourite at gleneagles

This was wonderful. Our waiter was a gem and was so nice. The French fries are delicious and the fish was good. The linguini with clams was delicious. Very nice ambiance and a great dinner.

A nice dinner for all of us and good choices of dishes. The service was not the best, friendly but fairly slow. Overall a very nice setting, relaxed and I would recommend it but there are definitely areas for improvement, especially in areas of service speed an attentive. Possibly understaffed but not acceptable as this is Gleneagles after all.

Worth every penny! Can eat as much as you like to start when you are ready you let them know that you would like your main then you can help yourself to deserts cheese and biscuits etc. The sea food selection was impressive.

My husband booked dinner here for our wedding anniversary and we absolutely enjoyed it. The atmosphere and decor is relaxed and stylish. The food was delicious we had crab and calamari for starters followed by sea bass and fillet steak. The desserts are delicious too. The staff are friendly and attentive. We only live 15 minutes from the restaurant so this will become our new go to place for lunch or dinner.

My first visit since the new menu relaunch. Really enjoyed the food over our two recent visits. What makes this place is the service, each night the waiting staff treated my daughter with such a high standard of care. They showed a real interest in her, each visit to the ice cream stand was the highlight of her stay at the hotel.

Nice but I found the food choices a slight challenge, and expensive. Lunch at the club house, a short walk away, is much much better. Shame as it could be great.

We went here for a midweek lunch and did not think the food or service was any better than a half decent pub/restaurant in any town. We would like to have been seated among the other diners but were given a table in a near empty part of the brasserie and had to put up with the staff constantly coming and going from the kitchen with service for the other diners. We seemed to be served by anyone who was passing and had the food served in a desultory manner. We were not informed that the desserts were very large and designed for sharing. The maitre d’ seemed to find it funny that we could not finish the desserts and bet with us that if we did she would give us them free. We felt insulted and not taken seriously. As we are in an older age group we would hope we were not the victims of ageism.

Our drinks arrived after the meal. The new vegan option were very underwhelming.

A relaxed airy restaurant, with a modern varied menu. Staff were accommodating and helpful with a few dietary issues, making us feel helping find a solution was no issue or imposition. The good was excellent and promptly served.

As regular visitors, we tried to reserve a table for us and friends for breakfast.

My wife and I stayed at the Gleneagles resort and spa for a week and ate st this restaurant for 3 of the nights we were there and enjoyed it immensely each time!

We ate Saturday dinner and arrived whilst the restaurant was reasonably quiet, having booked in advance.

Had lunch starting at noon, when the bistro opens. Environs are pleasant, with choice of main area or conservatory style area. Food was very good, albeit expect to pay about 50% more than city prices. Service was well executed and generally helpful.

Poor service- slow and wrong order brought

We had my brother and sister in law up from south and we used the Birnam (very local as I stay in the village) Simply put, it was amazing, great food in a fantastic setting for a decent price. No hesitation in recommending.

My family and I enjoyed another special Sunday Brunch today. Plentiful array of delicious starters and beautiful desserts. Mains were tasty too. Only available on the first Sunday of every month so book well in advance!

Delicious food & drink. Good service, staff wonderfully helpful! Lovely light neutral decor and nice atmosphere.

My fiancee and I decided to try the Birnam Brasserie as we had not been to Glenagles since Deseo stood where Birnam currently resides. Casting my memory back I cannot remember anything that stood out upon arrival. We both ordered the french onion soup to start and I ordered the beef bourguignon and Molly ordered the burger. As a fine dining chef and sommelier I find myself to alway be in 'critic' mode and I expected Gleneagles to surpass my expectations as they are a world renowned hotel. After a spoonful it was obvious the soup was bland and we brought it to the waitress's attention to which she checked with the kitchen and came over and confirmed that the soup was bland and the chefs think they forgot salt. Personally, the soup lacked depth and body. I was expecting beautifully caramelised onions in a rich heart-warming soup, however, I was met with a flavourless, bland soup. With regard to the burger, it was dry, indifferent and could have passed for an amateur home cooked burger. The beef was very tender which I expected from what looked like short rib. The sauce was nice, however, the whole dish was eaten very fast as it was a very small portion which, I felt, for £25 wasn't justifiable. We asked for the bill and had our soups comped which resulted in a £35 bill that encompassed a small beef and a half eaten burger and a sparkling water. Knowing the cost of what we ate in direct comparison to our expectations coupled with the Gleneagles name I am certain I shall not return to Birnam Brasserie.

Today was our second trip to the brasserie. Both birthday treats. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and a proper sun trap. You’d easily forget you were tucked away in a little corner of Perthshire. The quality of the food is world class. I struggle to compare it to anywhere else in Scotland (Michelin starred or otherwise). I’m a fan of oysters and today’s from Loch Fyne were some of the freshest i’ve ever had. Looking forward to my next trip already!

Fantastic food in relaxed environment is the best way to sum up the dining experience here.

We decided to visit for breakfast and this time we opted for the buffet.

Excellent food and service amd setting. Staff were attentive and the food arrived quickly.

We booked in advance of our stay us we knew one of the restaurants was closed for refurbishment. Nice table set in the 'outside' area of the restaurant which had a lovely atmosphere. Friendly, attentive service and delicious food. Extensive wine and drinks list to complement the menu. Lovely meal and experience.

Food was good no complaints. The wine and food all came out in good time. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food.

My friends and I ate at the Birnam last weekend and were fairly disappointed.

The Dormy House was fully booked so we had an early dinner in the Burnam Brasserie.

We have been here a few times now since the Birnam opened and we have been coming to Gleneagles over the last 15 years but feel that the standard of service is not as good as it once was. The food is still excellent although we feel that there should be more reasonable priced dishes as this is surely meant to be a place for families as well since Deseo closed and none of the choices really reflex that.

We had a wonderful mean at the Birnam. Scallops and crab to start. Beautiful fresh bread to the table. Beef and swordfish main courses and a chocolate mouse to finish! Good draft beers and wine selection.

Booked The Birnham Brasserie just for a special treat. It was a Saturday evening and initially the restaurant was quite empty, but it filled up while we were there. Shown to our table and waiter was there with menus within a minute. Given sufficient time to browse menu then waiter re-appeared with the specials board. We started with Onion Soup and Scallops. Both were absolutely delicious. Mains course consisted of a massive steak for two with superb tasting sauce, fries and small carrots. Finished with Lemon tart and Creme Brulee. The entire meal was hot, very well presented and the waiter was attentive but without being in your face. As mentioned in the title, this is a great place for a special treat. Not cheap by any means, but for a once in a while treat, it is perfect.

Had a nice relaxing dinner Saturday night with kids. Food was very nice and the young waiter was very helpful.

Food is fine,friendly service. Nothing very exciting but perfectly acceptable. We had a burger and fish,both fine.

Our first trip to The Birnam for Sunday Brunch which is held on the first Sunday of every month.

Always eat at Birnham when up at Gleneagles. Top end informal dining. Cannot fault it.

Was treated to Sunday lunch at the Birnam Brasserie. Food was delicious, staff were attentive,food selection was as you would expect,

Was really embarrassed when we met up with friends tonight. Two main courses had to go back and didn't send a third back as was sooo embarrassed. Why did we change Deseo's?? Have yet to have a good meal here !!!!!

My daughter and I had breakfast and dinner here. It was wonderful. The food was cooked to perfection.

We ate here for the first night we stayed at Gleneagles Hotel.

We went for a family breakfast on xmas eve,we went here because the main restaurant was fully booked.I was very disappointed by the limited choice of the menu.When you compare it to the main hotel menu it was very poor.Staff & service were excellent as usual but would not go back unless the menu changed.

We have seen at least three upgrades to this restaurant over the years and albeit the setting is lovely and possibly the best so far the menu is disappointing. Enough choices but lots of the same so variety is limited. There was also no flexibility tried to order mussels as a starter only to be advised it would come as full portion with chips. Whilst the clubhouseis excelling this has sadly lost its appeal
