"super proud of a new local business that rises to the challenge. 3 of us for a three-course dinner, clean teller round, that our stomachs would not have run out of the room. it was really nervous to get out, but the place is immaculate and I felt safe. the team member who took care of our table made the experience. he was helpful, attentive and polite. keep the good work, look forward to the return."

"the first time here and I was impressed. eating was excellent and really decent portions. they will not starve here. the environment is very pleasant, well spaced tables bright and clean with beautiful atmosphere. the personal was top notch friendly and attentive, without being excessive. I asked about something that is not in the menu and was accused. I will certainly recommend"

"After taking a walk with my dog, we were on the lookout for a quick, dog-friendly lunch spot. We were warmly greeted by Jess (please forgive me if I'm mistaken about the name) and the Bar Manager. We chose items from the snack menu—a toastie with a side of chips and a chili chicken wrap, also served with chips. The chili chicken and cheese wrap received a satisfied nod and a cheesy thumbs up from my companion, while my toastie was exactly what I hoped for: a perfect combination of cheese, ham, and red onion, featuring some of the best ham I've ever had. Overall, it was a thumbs up from me as well. Thank you to the Royal Hotel Bar for a great experience! (I also heard that the restrooms were very clean—10/10 for that!)"

"We visited the recently refurbished reopened Craigie Hotel for lunch over the festive period with a group of friends. The day didn 't get off to a good start when the waiting staff couldn 't locate our lunch reservation. However, these things happen so we waited whilst they arranged a table. And waitied....... and waited......... Eventually, some 30 minutes later, we were informed by someone who appeared to be management that a table was available. Once seated, drinks orders were taken and quickly delivered to the table. The earlier wait was beginning to seem like a distant memory already. However... once the young member of staff began to distribute drinks, it soon became apparent that the order bore little resemblance to what was expected by our party. Beers were bottled instead of draught, wine was red instead of white. Ice was served in drinks when it was specifically requested without. Drinks returned, it took a further 15 minutes before everyone seated actually had what they had asked for. Things can only get better now right? Wrong. The food was a disgrace for a hotel which masquerades as a venue nearer the upper end of the taste and class scale. The sandwiches were reminiscent of a 4am hotel room service snack both in presentation and taste, and the salads looked like they had been plucked from the 'whoops ' section of a supermarket aisle. By this time enough was enough, and a member of our group spoke with a manager. However, despite detailing our disappointments at what had been a very below par service, the 'manager ' offered no explanation and seemed very condescending. Given our spend, I found this astonishing that someone employed in the service industry could behave in this manner. I will be taking this up in writing with the hotel GM at the earliest opportunity. Needless to say, my friend and his wife who were on the verge of booking their summer wedding at this venue have now categorically ruled it out. I would suggest anyone considering the Craigie for lunch, dinner or a wedding reception consider their options very carefully."
