Wonderful spot! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Our orders arrived quickly, and the food was absolutely delicious - fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and generous portions. The cozy atmosphere was perfect for a midday meal. Highly recommended for a satisfying and enjoyable lunch experience!

Quick stop for a late lunch. We had a small muscles starter, which was large and extremely good. The haggis mac and cheese was perfect! Great service and nice place for a drink and food.

Stumbled across this place when looking for somewhere to eat, what a gem. Great menu choice, greeted straight away, given plenty of time to look at the menu. I chose the local beer Ossian, lovely golden smooth ale. I liked it so much here that i came back the following day. I had the steak n ale pie (puff pastry top) on the first visit and then the Balmoral chicken the second day, both dishes i highly recommend.

We happened upon Jimmy Badgers by accident. Staff were kind and upfront about there being a wait for our food order to be taken but that they could seat us right away. The food was phenomenal and well worth the wait. Highly recommend the salmon, the sauce is excellent.

Thought it was a wine bar and it's much more than that. The food selection is very good. The seafood tagliatelle and mussels was so tasty

I am so pleased that we tried this lovely cocktail bar. It serves great food, and the service was friendly. We went on a Monday lunchtime, and there were not many people in, but the decor, music & welcoming staff helped keep a nice atmosphere. I have walked past a few evenings, and the place is full. Well worth a visit.
