Tucked away in the leafy suburb of Newton Mearns, Miller & Carter has long been a stalwart of steakhouse dining, but my recent lunch visit confirmed that it’s more than just a haven for meat lovers—this is a restaurant that delivers a well-rounded and carefully curated experience from start to finish. The meal began with a classic salt and pepper calamari starter. Calamari is a staple on many menus, yet so often executed poorly. Here, it was anything but. Lightly battered, with a crisp, golden exterior and tender, succulent calamari inside, the balance of flavors was expertly handled. A slight kick from the seasoning elevated the dish beyond the ordinary, setting the stage for what was to come. The 7oz steak, which followed, was a masterclass in how a small cut can pack immense flavor. Cooked precisely to order, the steak arrived perfectly charred on the outside, with a juicy, tender interior. Accompanied by crisp, golden fries, a juicy grilled tomato, and the signature onion loaf—a delightful tangle of crunchy, savory ribbons—the plate was simple but exceptionally well-executed. In an era where portion control and quality can be at odds, Miller & Carter strikes a fine balance. The dessert—a classic banoffee pie—was nothing short of indulgent, as it should be. Rich layers of banana, caramel, and cream came together in a perfect crescendo of sweetness, paired with a well-made coffee that rounded off the meal with just the right amount of bitterness. It’s worth noting that the set lunch menu offers impressive value for money. For the quality of ingredients, precision in cooking, and overall experience, the price is more than justified. But what truly elevated the meal was the service, with particular praise for Paul, our attentive and knowledgeable waiter. His timing was impeccable, his recommendations spot on, and his ability to anticipate our needs added a personal touch that many establishments struggle to achieve. The surroundings, too, deserve a mention. Miller & Carter strikes a balance between elegant and approachable—stylish without pretension, a place equally suited for a casual lunch or a special occasion. In a dining landscape where consistency can often be a rarity, Miller & Carter Newton Mearns not only meets expectations but exceeds them. A highly recommended spot for anyone seeking a well-executed, unpretentious, and thoroughly enjoyable meal.

Sorry we won’t be back. The girl serving was not pleasant, hair on plate, we asked for an orange juice for my daughter only for be given a fizzy drink, my children do not like fizzy juice rudely was questioned by the girl serving why my child doesn’t drink fizzy juice. It wasn’t what we ordered. This isn’t the first time the service hasn’t been great.

The service was excellent and friendly and the food eas good. There weren't many people in but we were there fairly early at around noon. The restaurant was clean and the girls were quick to clear tables. However, the chocolate torte thst I set my heart on for pud eas not available because the rstaurant was due to close down on 4th July so that was a huge disappointment
