Gryffen's Bistro

I stopped by the restaurant with intentions of dining, but ended up staying for a drink instead. The scampi and chips on the menu seemed like typical bar food, but they were presented as a more upscale dish. The prices were on the higher side.

Very pleasant bar and great decor. Wasn't that busy which was nice. Staff excellent and very attentive and polite. All round good experience and would recommend if you are in the area. Couldn't help thinking that they could have made more of the area at the front in the Square, as was beautiful view.

OK. Monday lunch is always a slow day. Food prep and presentation very sound, but took an AGE... ...by which I mean at least 35 minutes. Meaty and fresh..

Already explained about the food .. food excellent, the staff very efficient, very clean quaint and inviting ...excellent place to stay and to eat, could not fault it ..

We had booked a table in the restaurant that night, and due to food allergies we had requested a dietry requirement menu on booking. On ordering, the waitress had a piece of reciept paper with dishes scribbled down that they could provide gluten and diary free, we chose the duck. 20minutes later the waitress returned to inform us that the duck infact wasnt df/gf and that we needed to order something else. ok, very good on informing us, but it took an hour in total from ordering to recieving the main meal. We would have been more sure if the restaurant provided a dietry requirement menu, with all the dishes ingredients listed. The food was adequate, although we had the feeling that due to the concert outside, more staff was allocated to the open bar selling alcohol to people on the street than in the main restaurant for staying residents. There were 2 waitresses catering the restaurant at the time, they looked rushed, we had to ask for water then reminded them after 10mins, they forgot to serve us refills on drinks, but when the bill came we were still charged for the refils, as well as being charged for the original Duck order that needed to be changed.
