The Gannet

Went here for an anniversary dinner with my partner. I think it's a great place for this type of special event. The prices are high, but it is to be expected for this kind of place and I think the quality of the food, the presentation, the atmosphere, and the staff all match up to the expectations of the price tag. We tried the set menu, which includes 2 starters to share, 5 main dishes and a dessert. We didn't go for the wine glass pairing, instead opting for just a bottle to split. The best way to describe the food is amazing, it was all delicious, it was all fresh and the presentations were impressive. The seasoning on the focaccia was a real pleasant surprise and it reminded me a lot of dry cured meat flavours. The starters overall were quite good, and all the mains were amazing. It's hard to pick a favourite, so I will refrain from it. I also really enjoyed the dessert. The staff were great throughout the night and the atmosphere and decoration are very nice. Great place, too bad it's closing at the end of 2025, but I'm hoping that what comes next is just as good at least.

My photos will not do the dishes justice. Creative, innovative dishes locally sourced and seasonal. All the great quality and care that went into each course, we felt and tasted. It was an experience. Each bite told a story about the restaurant, and the intention behind the dishes. The pine infused Old Fashion was a nice surprise. Altogether my wife and I absolutely enjoyed our time and look for forward to our return. It was our first visit to the UK, Glasgow and Islays. A nice surprise was the cheese charcuterie compliments and added bonus dishes along the food journey this night. Great vibe and generosity is what we felt.

An unbelievable experience! The food was utterly sublime, with every bite being a taste sensation. We took the 6 course tasting menu, as was an afternoon sitting, we didn’t choose the wine pairings. The cocktails were amazing, from a new twist on an old fashioned to the pink fizz! The staff were great, they explained every course in detail and were very attentive throughout and we never felt rushed, even though we were there for over 3 hours. Brilliant food in a lovely setting, we can’t wait to return!

The menu was highly seasonal and the tasting menu made those ingredients sing. Every dish was beautifully presented to the point where it was difficult to eat! The wait pairing was perfect and the knowledge shared on each course made the experience. Staff were lovely, to boot!

Absolutely tremendous, 10/10 experience. Food, service, and venue itself all hitting every mark. Had once of the best meals we have ever had today. Cannot wait to return!
