The best restaurants in Lowlands

04/12/2020: Had a safe lunch of home made soup and a toastie. Excellent.

30/11/2020: Very nice and good shop as well.

03/11/2020: Managed to secure a table at third attempt . Current distancing restrictions have cut the number of covers but restaurant still felt vibrant as it was full .The menu had many temting options but in the end we elected to go for the specials of dressed local crab and loin pork chop with various accompaniements , in hindsight we could probably have managed with just one of each as the portions were very generous , the pork especially so and we did end up taking a doggy bag away . Service was prompt and friendly and although the price is maybe higher than other venues in the area it was justified by the whole package offered.

03/12/2020: I Have Visited Claudios a few times on a Wednesday with work colleagues. The food here is outstanding, really tasty and Dav and his staff are very friendly, they can’t do enough for you. Would definitely recommend. Best restaurant in town

25/10/2020: Dav and co do a grand job and serve great food. We have visited many times and always enjoy the atmosphere as food. 🤗

08/12/2020: One of my favourite spots in town. Best coffee in the Borders in my opinion. The staff are very knowledgeable, really friendly and very good at what they do. Having attempted pulling a perfect espresso shot and latte art myself, it really gives you an appreciation for how talented the staff are. There is always a good selection of cakes and light lunches and I always feel relaxed the opportunities I get to sit in. They are very accommodating for alternative diets too which, while I don't require myself, is a nice touch for those with allergies/intolerances or vegan/vegetarian/etc. An absolute must-visit if you're in the area!

24/11/2020: Popped in today (24/11/20) for the first time at lunchtime to grab a takeaway Capacino. Straight to the point, beautifully presented shop/cafe, lovely furniture, fixtures and fittings, clean as a whistle. As for the staff and service, top end of professional, polite, but also given a sense of relaxed, which as a customer makes the whole experience far more comfortable... Oh and the coffee was ace! It's a little gem and you'd be daft not to try it

20/12/2020: Always friendly andaccomodating. Dog friendly. The Steamboat is a great asset to the village and draws in people from the wider locality as well as tourists in season for its location, service and general ambiance as well as the consistently good pub grub and specials.The managemnet run a tight ship in respect of Covid but in a nice respectful way!

11/12/2020: Visited recently for a family meal. First class service from really friendly staff who spent time talking to you. Food was excellent. Really tasty and homemade. Great portions and good overall value. Will definitely return

29/11/2020: Superb meal at very reasonable prices in a relaxing environment. Plenty of o choice on all three courses so, of course, we will have to return to sample some of the other dishes that we were tempted with. Already planning to return and given that it is over two hours drive away I think that is a recommendation.

23/11/2020: We visited on a Saturday evening and despite the restaurant being busy the service was first class. All covid safety measures in place and staff followed them correctly.The food was lovely (I had beef with mash and marrow which was just lush!) - never been disappointed when eating here.

25/12/2020: Second to none for excellence. It's not just the food that is excellent but staff too. Merry Christmas. Thankyou x

17/12/2020: My partner and I booked here on Sunday evening when having a last minute night in Dumfries. Very glad we found this place! We were seated in a nice little booth area near the bar. The pub was busy but we felt safely distanced, and there was hand sanitiser on all tables. Nice atmosphere, too! My partner had the Philadelphia Steak Baguette, and I had the Sweet Chilli Chicken with rice and chips. They were both amazing! The steak sandwich was cooked perfectly, and my chicken had an amazing sauce. Good sized portions and great quality for the price! We had to finish off with dessert so we had the Sticky Toffee Pudding and the Chocolate Fudge Cake. Again, both amazing! Lovely to be able to have a couple drinks with our meal as well! Special mention to Ross, he was a lovely waiter, very sweet and helpful! Great service at a great little pub! Will be back if ever in Dumfries again!

14/03/2021: Fantastic stay. We were there as keyworkers during the lockdown, felt very well taken care of. Great food, beautiful rooms and lovely staff. Can only recommend it to anyone who needs a place in the area.

03/03/2021: Truly amazing service and a great location with amazing rooms and comfortable bed. 100% will be staying again when working in Scotland

08/12/2020: Excellent place to eat lovely atmosphere very helpful staff coffee nice, clean smooth service very little waiting time

04/11/2020: Excellent bacon roll and coffee this morning! And, most importantly for me now is that it's dog friendly, so Edie can join me 🐶😊

28/10/2020: Called in today for a light lunch and once again we were blown away with the quality of the food. Government guidelines were upheld and there was even a voice recording when you came through the door instructing you to sanitise your hands. The young girl that served us was first class, she couldn't have been nicer or more efficient. We can't wait to go back. *****

19/10/2020: The prospect of a trip here for a scone with jam and cream was something that got me through lockdown. One of our first trips once we were allowed to travel and eat - and it was worth the wait!The rest of the food is excellent too, always plentiful portions and the staff are very good. Sitting outside having a massive ice cream with tablet in the shadow of Sweetheart Abbey - heaven!

17/11/2020: Great meal with really big portions. Goulash and prawn cocktail starters were excellent and sirloin steak and lemon sole mains were excellent. Great gin menu and nice wine list. Very friendly service too at a great price. Highly recommended!

15/11/2020: We hadn’t visited Adams Kitchen for quite some time and reserved a table for a Saturday evening. The ambience was great and service friendly, attentive and professional. The standard of our meals which we had were truly tasty and presented to a very high standard. An excellent, varied menu which caters well for coeliacs. Nice to see Tyskie available as an excellent lager to compliment the fabulous food. Can highly recommend and won’t leave it so long to return for another visit

11/03/2021: Just wanted to say a huge thanks & also highly recommend afternoon tea from Lough's Home Bakery in Eyemouth☕It was organised as a birthday gift for my husband from one of our sons & daughter-in-law & delivered by midday by this superb family bakery. Well presented & safely sealed in box along with a list of all that was enclosed...*Selection of multigrain sandwiches*Steak pies*Sausage rolls*Quiche*Savoury/sweet scones with pot of jam & butter*Selection of 4 cakes All freshly made & tasted delicious & plenty of everything.Can't recommend enough as a lovely gift or just a well deserved treat but also just for your daily baker selection.

16/03/2021: $25 for these oysters is insulting. If it wasn't 30mins away and a recommendation from the friend I visited, I would have gone back (it was to go order). Only reason I didn't give 1 star is because the staff was friendly and lots of parking.

16/03/2021: First visit to OC, we will return! Service was great and food was delicious.
