Restaurants near Criffel

First visit, lovely pub and great atmosphere. Made us feel very welcome. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely meal and the service was very good.

We made a booking for 17.15 and were seated in the middle of the restaurant but our social anxiety was gonna be a big problem so we asked to move and was promptly then we ordered drinks quickly and I got an espresso martini which was nice and smooth then ordered shortly after and we got this gorgeous smoked trout which worked quite well after that we had the chicken Kiev which was great especially the breadcrumbs and the Fish dish had. Crispy skin on top and a soft and delicate meat underneath and paired with a nice sauce Throughout we had great, quick, efficient service which has been rare in our trip thanks to Reagan and her team

A simply stunning tasting menu from the team at 1610. Up there with the very best I've eaten. I've frequented some great restaurants over the years even up to 3 star Michelin standard, and this place is up there with the best of them. Each course of the tasting menu was beautifully prepared, presented and very well balanced.The flavours were delicious. The staff are efficient and very friendly and engaging. The restaurant itself is atmospheric and has a beautiful old world charm, which is in line with its close and historical links to Robert Burns. The only thing I would change is music. Both times I have been in, it's been piano music on loop which I feel doesn't fit the surroundings. I would suggest some modern Scottish songs or even contemporary Burns songs ie Eddie Reader singing Burns

Very spur of the moment bit we had lovely friendly service . The food was amazing and wine too
