Such a lovely menu and lovely venue inside. Pity the outdoor area was so cold in winter, even with the gas heaters. 5 stars inside for humans but for dog happiness 3 max! Atleast you can have a beer and meal with your best friend.

We were a bit worried about the place, but went there because of the google 4.5 star rating, and pleased to say the food was great, large portions, fresh and tasty. Staff were polite and the place was clean and well presented. The meals did take a little time to come, but its worth the wait and if you have good company the time flys ... great job everyone.

Had a fabulous dinner with friends on a girl's weekend to Bowral. Super friendly and helpful staff. Loved the attentive table service and willingness to split bills. So refreshing compared to Sydney restaurants. My Gangsta schnitzel and shared chilli bread were great. Very generous prtion that I couldn't finish. Bonus prizes, our party of 6 won 3 meat trays!

A delightful space, with charming Scottish paraphernalia which adds a very comfy and welcoming feeling. Staff are friendly and helpful, without being too attentive. Food is excellently cooked, moorish, made with care, and with fresh ingredients. Will come back soon

Staff were friendly and amazing. The food was fresh and hot. Atmosphere great. We didn't book, but they opened the Celtic Room for us. It was much quieter in there so easy to have great conversation.
