Reviews
As walk in customers, we where seated given table water fast however that's where the speed went to a complete stand still. About 20 minutes wait just to order drinks and the food even though there was multiple waitresses standing around having a chat throughout this wait. Finally our server Waheed arrived to take our order. Some people like that kind of service however I found it over the top and quite fake asking first names and what not is just weird in a restaurant setting in my opinion. Anyway drinks came and then it was 40 minute wait between the drinks arriving and the starters arriving. The restaurant wasn't even busy probably not even 1/3 capacity. Although the starters where ok one was tepid at this stage I wasn't about to wait another 40 minutes for a reeeplacement and just ate it. After finishing the starter the main came quite soon after although ordered the Chateaubriand 16oz and felt very short changed at the price compared to what we got. It definitely didn't seem like 16oz although it was very nice, the garlic mushroom side was lovely, the "triple cooked chips" tasted like any other you'd put in your frier at home, the asparagus was well overdone. Then waiting around for someone to ask for a bill. There was enough staff but not enough actually working! Waheen seemed like the only wait staff actually doing anything. Finally we get the bill which was wrong however he'd noticed and changed it. He was apologetic about the service and I told him I'd noticed staff standing around while we waited and he replied "I know" like it was an expected thing there. This whole experience took around 2 hours in total and wasn't cheap. They're marketing themselves as quite a nice place which it is but the food and service doesn't match the prices.
Read on Google MapsAndrew was incredible! Food was lovely. Wine selection could be better, but the prices were right. We had a great time!
Read on Google MapsWent for the Sunday roast. The service was attentive if slow, and the temperature was insanely cold. The meal itself was all right at best, with the chicken the highlight. I got the ultra roast that also include lamb and steak; it was just a slice of each one, and honestly I'm still not sure which one was which. The potatoes were obviously frozen; the broccoli and the peas were good. Honestly I'm sure there are better options in Glasgow but it's fine if you can get a deal/voucher.
Read on Google MapsWe had an amazing evening at Bar + Block Steakhouse in Glasgow! I tried the mixed platter with different meat specialties and everything was absolutely delicious. The dessert was also fantastic. A special thanks to Dina, who not only spoke our language and helped us with translations, but also gave us some great local travel tips. She was professional, proactive, and made our evening extra special. Highly recommended – 5 stars!
Read on Google MapsHad a fantastic meal with my fiancée. Ordered 4 small plates, portions were lovely for what they were, the prawns and the brisket burnt ends were incredible! Ordered 2 rump steaks, an 8oz and a 12oz, and unfortunately both were marred by being the wrong temperatures (fiancée had to send her 8oz back because it was rare/blue when asked for as medium). Mine was requested Medium rare, and came between medium and medium well. Still tasted lovely, just wished I'd sent mine back too. Prices on the steaks are a little up there, but the starters are very well priced so it makes it feel quite balanced overall if you're there for 2 courses at least. Planning to come back here later in the week for another meal, would definitely recommend.
