The Stockbridge Restaurant

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in my life and the best in Scotland.

The various courses on his menu are diverse, and amazing. The dishes are extremely intricate with layers of flavors. Each bite was a bit different.

Sadly, the owner is closing up shop and becoming a chef elsewhere come end of this Saturday.

A wonderfully relaxed space with fantastic service and gorgeous food. Wonderful experience. At £42 for two courses or £52 for three and bottles of wine starting from £29, it's not the cheapest, but as they say, "You get what you pay for" and what you get is absolutely sumptuous.

It's all about the food, which is excellent. My wife and I booked for our wedding anniversary and we weren't disappointed with the quality of the food. I had the Scallops to start and the Halibut as a main. I can honestly say that it was the best restaurant meal I have ever had. My wife had the Venison as a main and was equally impressed. The wine choice was also first class and we went for the cheese board to finish. The two young servers were friendly and efficient and their service was first class. We felt the older male server whilst very professional and efficient, was a little distant and did not really engage, he could have been a bit warmer in his attention. However, this did not detract from our enjoyment of the evening, after all it was all about the food and the Chef must be complimented on the quality of the menu. A lovely restaurant with great cooking. What's not to like.

We had the 3 course menu at £52 per person, followed by some drinks.

The complimentary bread wasn't anything special, although their chive vinaigrette was pretty good.

For starter I had the pork belly and it was great. Perfectly cooked, great flavour and good portion size.

As a main I had the venison loin, it was delicious and cooked to perfection. The mains come with seasonal vegetables and potatoes, these are pretty bland and honestly not to the same standard as the mains.

I selected the Millefeuille for dessert but it nothing like I expected. There was no puff pastry, this was replaced by rectangles of pure chocolate. I have to say that this was my least favourite part of the meal.

Drinks were good, service was ok.

Overall the food was good but I wouldn't necessarily rush back.

Lovely relaxed fine dining experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The pork starter was a highlight.

We had an excellent dining experience. The customer service was first class and we were constantly provided with some small additional appetisers while waiting for each course, each of which was served in a reasonable amount of time. The food was nicely presented and very warm and tender. The portions were entirely appropriate for a three course meal. The atmosphere is gentle and calming. The price is very reasonable for the level of attentative customer service and quality food on offer. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Excellent dining experience. Quiet and very accommodating. We were brought out multiple small servings of appetizers as the meal progressed to keep our appetites ready. The customer service was excellent!
I appreciated the atmosphere of the restaurant and the lighting.

A very atmospheric restaurant with only 14 tables, so quite intimate, with low volume background music and low lighting in the basement. We were served by the head waitress who was excellent throughout the evening. Took our drinks and food orders, corrects the owner when she brought the wrong beer, brought the bill without being asked and saw us out. The best service we have seen anywhere in the world and she’s Scottish too. The food was great from bread, amuse bouchée to starter through to dessert. A limited set menu but interesting Scottish produce.
