Stac Polly Dublin Street

What an amazing find with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our host for the two nights we only had to go back for more) fulfilled our request. My recommendation, from you a group, have the big cheese plate, extra oats and dirty gin Martini's. Spectacular and will be more for our next visit.

Amazing food and very accommodating. We booked a table quite late at a quiet Thursday night, and our friends ran half an hour too late. The waiter was incredibly nice about it and showed no sign of irritation with us to keep him at work longer than expected. Food and wine were exceptional and we are already planning the next visit.

Was taken here by my husband as a surprise last night. We had been wanting to go for ages now. It was rather disappointing though service from the waiter was mediocre, especially when we commented that one of the courses wasn't nice, no apology, he just walked away ? Inside downstairs is beautiful, except the very dusty, chintzy, artificial arrangements on the tables surely one real flower per table would be more in keeping. If not then at least keep the present ones clean. All the courses looked impressive on the plates. Starters were fab I had the Trout and hubby had the Scallops. Mains not so much my Pheasant was dry and tough, like it had been cooked then reheated, the Jus was also dried onto the plate round the edges. Hubby's filet was ok, but have had better. We shared the pineapple dessert very ordinary and boring a thick slice of warmed pineapple, with a sauce and some ice cream not worth the money. Wine was very good. Service was like being in a fast food place, NO time between courses. Hubby had kept some bread on his side plate to have after/with dessert (bit odd but his choice) and this was just cleared away after the main course, without him being asked if he still wanted it he only noticed once it was gone fast food !. £100 later, and only because they didn't charge for the Pheasant £27 (still no apology), and we won't be recommending it or be back. Just to add that there were only 6 other diners there with us, so 8 in total peak time on a Saturday night says a lot.

Stac Polly is a true taste of Scotland! I love their traditional dishes. You have an exceptional wine list. Your Gin Garden is beautiful and fresh. You have friendly staff. Whenever my family visits South Africa, I will make them experience SCOTLAND!

Disappointing visit after we had read good reviews. The food was mediocre at best. The moussaka was swimming in oil and the fish stew was lukewarm and was tasteless. The starters were absolutely average just ok. It's a good thing we got 50% off from eat out to help out because I wouldn't have been happy to pay full price. They really need to up their game here. Will probably not be back.
