Passing by one day and being married to a Frenchwoman, it pays to spot things like this. I booked online and was called moments later, apologising for the lack of a high chair for our wee laddie. No bother I cried as I was already salivating at the menu. Lewis, Esteban and the hidden Scott and Jennifer (chef and owner respectively) were awesome. Lewis was engaging but not in your face. Proudly explained the Kombucha ingredients (she had the sea buckthorn and orange whilst I went for Onion and Squash) were foraged. Everything is understated quality. The tables look roughhouse but are lived in and have a well worn sheen. The cutlery was brought to you on linen and per diner, not a jingle jangle of steelworks. We had the Brunch du Marche and Brunch Satine to share. The pastries were lush. Just enough hint of hazelnut to the chocolate filling and the creme pat wasn't too sweet, not too plain. The house baked bread was dense and flavoursome and the butter made on sight. The eggs were perfect, and seasoned to perfection and the mountain of boudoin noir (black pudd to you Scots) was super, alongside the french tatties. The salmon just oozed quality, the cheese and charcuterie were served at the right temperature and even my coffee cup had a feel to it; properly chosen by someone who cares. Our son slept peacefully for 85 minutes which was plenty to enjoy a wonderful meal in delightful surrounds. A coupe had gorgeous looking brioche rolls on a neighbouring table, and 4 chaps had the brunch and a family brought daughter and boy to another and all left happy. We will be back. Vive Satine, vive la France.

We had one of our best meals of the trip at Sandemans. All of the dishes were delicious, but the whole experience was even better because the sommelier was so knowledgable and took our meal to a whole other level.

Was so good the first time we went, I booked again 2 weeks later. Lovely cosy restaurant oozing with charm. Brilliant service. And the food...beyond any superlative that I could muster. An a la carte and Set Menu offering a Soupe du jour, Starter du jour and Plat du jour. It's a good job we don't live locally as I'd be eating here every night:) Can't wait to go back.

I have eaten in many Michelin-starred restaurants over the years, and whilst there is no denying that the quality of the cooking at Cail Bruich was superb, the portion sizes of the 'mains’ were ridiculously small. And I mean TINY. The two very small slices of duck and one bite-sized piece of fish presented to us as 'mains' at lunch were hugely disappointing. Of course, I know that portion size is no barometer whatsoever as to the quality of a meal, but really? At £90 per person for lunch I am sure you could spend another £2 or £3 to at least serve half a duck breast!

Awfully rude attitude from what I assume was the manager/owner. I assume this as anyone else with such appalling customer service wouldn’t last a day. Went for work do and obviously expected to pay individually. The guy told us we cannot pay individually, as it’s too ‘complicated’. When advised he should have informed us of this prior to ordering, he said he had informed us - he only told us when we were ready to pay and not when we had arrived. So not just rude, a gaslighter as well. When we were then trying to work out the cost for each of us to avoid any of us falling short or owning money, I asked him how much the coffees were and he told me I’d have to find a menu and check myself. I will never be going back here again.

We had lunch yesterday 19 October. We had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect . The staff are amazing, one and all. The service is impeccable. The food is truly exceptional. If you get the chance to go here, do not hestitate. I cannot find fault with anything at all. We chose the Market Place menu and I was fortunate enough not to be driving , so chose the wine pairing with my menu. It was so worth it. I had an English wine for the first time and highly recommend it. My husband was driving and only had a sip of each of mine, but he agreed totally that the choices were perfect. We were both bowled over by the whole experience .I am looking forward to going back as soon as possible.
