At The Meikleour - Perth Kinross

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at this restaurant and we were very disappointed. His steak pie had a flat pastry and only about four pieces of steak. All bottles of wine were priced at £34 with no other options available, making both the meal and wine overpriced.

My friends and I had lunch at this restaurant on Sunday. We felt rushed throughout the entire meal by the waiter and waitress. One of the Sunday roasts was partially cold and the chicken was overcooked. Additionally, one of the sticky toffee puddings was completely dried out. It would have been helpful if they had communicated upfront that our table was only reserved for a limited period of time.

In terms of the food, the chicken was nice and tender but had a burnt coating, the Yorkshire pudding was dry which made us think it wasn't fresh, and the sticky toffee pudding was clearly overdone in the microwave. We are generally easy to please, but this experience left us feeling very frustrated. We're not sure what went wrong, but we left the restaurant feeling disappointed.

Definitely not closed! Stopped off for lunch and it was wonderful. I had the baked Blue Ling which was perfectly cooked, seared lettuce and fragrant jasmine rice. The whole experience really tasty cooked by a talented chef who knows what they’re doing. My wife had two veggie starters of which the star was the gnocchi. Clean, relaxed, friendly staff and good food. What’s not to like?

Dropped in for refreshments later afternoon and was immediately taken by the ambience, clean decor and welcoming staff. Driving I had a Diet Coke and for a treat I had wonderful carpaccio of beef. Spotless toilets and a definate destination for a visit later this year perhaps even for a staycation.
