"I found this place by accident one day and I'm so glad I did, my Husband and I love this place and when we take our Daughter (age she loves it too. Hubby usually gets Mussels in a tomato sauce iv tried them...fabulous) The Fillet steaks are always cooked exactly the way we want (Med to rare). Can I say Iv tried Diane sauce many many times and their Diane sauce is absolutely superb (different BUT BETTER) than anywhere. Casa Mia pasta is lovely and creamy, fresh and very filling. My Daughters favourite is macaroni cheese and she absolutely loves the garlic bread with cheese. There are so many lovely dishes on their menu Iv tried most of them) and I can honestly say I have never left disappointed or hungry, I'm very surprised by previous review about portion sizes I NEVER finish my meal as I'm so full with the courses couldn't contemplate a dessert my Daughter assures me they are the best). The staff are really good at what they do even if they are mega busy they still stop to chat and always ask if we enjoyed our meal. I had been unwell with Covid and my appetite wasn't quite back so left quite a bit of my meal the last time we visited, the Manager came to ask if I hadn't enjoyed my meal as I'd left so much. I have ONE wee thing, I love Pate but don't like terrine, so Chef La Belle can I have Pate that isn't terrine, PLEASE Really fab little place please try it for yourself, I'm so glad we did. This is our go to times a month. PS, Chi Chi cocktail is devine"

"Visited on a chilly Sunday evening and found restaurant a bit dark outside due to work taking place at nearby railway station but when inside found hotel warm and welcoming.Set menu on offer or an a la carte option also available.Drink order taken and delivered with a smile and we all went for the set menu option and with a reasonable choice for everyone to choose from.Homemade ministrone soup tasted and appeared to come straight out of a tin and the Haggis Fritters were soggy and quite bland in taste.Main courses delivered were steak pie with fresh veg and mash potato and fresh Haddock with chips and peas.Sorry steak pie was a pie lid with some stew and microwaved mash potato and frozen veg.Fish was nice and crispy but again frozen peas and a small portion of skinny chips was your lot.Why do restaurants feel the need to charge £5 for a very small limited menu for children with no starter option,desert option or beven a small diluted juice included i will never know.Deserts were again very disapointing as strawberry cheesecake was plain cheesecake with strawberry sauce and not very appealing and quite tasteless.Chocolate fudge cake was very very dry and again tasteless.Total bill for 3 adults including 1 wine per adult and a child meal was £59 and although cost of meal was on the low side the standard of food on offer did not live up to our expectations and left us all wondering if ongoing work outside and maybe a lack of usual trade has had a negative affect on the standard of food on offer.Would not visit again."

"I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying good quality drinks (for example Pimm's No 1), and indeed fine dining at the very long established Electric Bar on the southern east flank of Central Motherwell. Located a short walk from the town centre. By all accounts this very long established, and most popular Pub/Diner, offered superb value for money here. In terms of dining space, I understand this remains at just under two hundred [200]. Evidently, very much a spacious establishment located near Motherwell’s sometimes bustling town centre. On approaching this fine eatery, one is met by a disabled friendly car park, then an alfresco dining experience. In addition free wifi, inside and out. My only concern was that they could perhaps increase the accessible parking spaces for patrons. As a disabled customer myself, I found ample car parking space at the Electric Bar on Airbles Road. The main entrance to this large popular establishment had very easy access too, with useful cabin hooks to peg back main entrance doors for ease of convenience assisting this restaurant disabled patrons, the restroom was also very accessible. First impressions inside, The decor was good, fresh and modern adding to the overall ambience of this particular establishment. I was delighted to be greeted by very friendly staff members, for example the highly experienced restaurateur Samantha and her esteemed colleague Carmen. I found all the staff at the Electric Bar polite, well presented and faultless. They had a useful cube on tables to summon service. I saw on offer a vast range of popular brand name spirits’, wines’, bottled/draught beers’, cocktails ciders’ vermouths' and traditional pub snacks. Moreover, a variety of non alcoholic beers and spirits to boot [for those unlucky enough to undertake driving home taxi duties]. With my evening ‘tipple’, I very much enjoyed a large glass of Pimms No1 cup,a real treat and would recommend it, especially now that we are already in the very thick of the UK tennis grass court season. With quality lunches, and indeed very extended opening hours from 11 am till late most days who can complain. Gratuities are of course discretionary. A large pleasant dining area was outside for those preferring a quiet drink or family meal alfresco. I would personally recommend a visit for locals, visitors and tourists alike. In terms of sports in this area of North Lanarkshire, then we have the famous Well’ football team, not to mention Strathclyde Country Park, and indeed other national attractions for example the sprawling Ravenscraig National Sports Centre. For rugby fans, we also have great facilities at Dalziel Rugby Club nearby. For track and field, there is the nearby Wishaw sports complex. Last but by no means least, we also have nearby Hamilton with buzzing NightLIfe. To reiterate a very impressive seating capacity which if required could accommodate around 180 patrons, The fairly large town of Motherwell itself [approx 36, 000 population] is well known for being one of Scotland’s major Steeltown. In my opinion, this Airbles Road Electric Bar fine quality diner remains perfect for conversations and meeting up with family, friends and colleagues. And also recommended for the sports enthusiast too. In my subjective opinion, I would award 9.5 out of ten for this long established pub/restaurant right near the centre of ‘steeltown’ Motherwell. Well worth a visit, and certainly fine dining at competitive prices I would recommend."
