The staff were excellent and I was encouraged to try Hake for the 1st time, as I need to be careful with fish. We both had an excellent 6 courses, with accompanying wine. Mel,m our waitress, has a great and checky humour that we enjoyed. Happily return here.
If you are looking for an intimate and tasteful, yet relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy a tasty Scottish meal, you need to go to the Cellar Door! My husband and I found this delightful restaurant serendipitously on an evening walk when the lovely Giulia (our “hostess with the mostest”❣️) guided us downstairs into a cozy little nook and and into the capable hands of fair Mel, our server for the evening. I chose the North Atlantic haddock with chips( fries to Americans) and Jim had a traditional roasted pork loin dinner. Both meals were thoroughly delicious with generous portions to satisfy hearty appetites.
Great atmosphere, yummy comfort Scottish food, reasonably priced. But what will gladly bring us back to The Cellar Door is the feeling that we have made friends in Scotland; the warm reception and care given makes you feel like you’ve come home. We’ll be back.
We had walked around for a while trying to avoid pub food or sky high prices for average food. We walked downstairs with minimal expectations for what looked (at street level) to be an empty restaurant. Downstairs was a little gem - genuine warm welcome, lovely food, good selection, acceptable prices.
I would thoroughly recommend this place and ignore the empty upstairs seating.
