Pentland - West Lothian

Dreadful, don’t waste your money. Possibly worst restaurant I’ve ever been to, service appalling and food just as bad

We are staying here for a night and the staff recommended The Pentland. Probably one of the most disappointing meals we have ever had and such sad end to our trip to Scotland. The food was bland and tasteless. I don’t rate my cooking, but even I could do better. Our waiter was friendly however the ice princess (hostess at the entrance) was frosty and rude. I enquired about gluten free options and she just shoved the menu at me and moved on to talk to others. I would hate for anyone to book this pricey restaurant for a special occasion as it’s definitely not worth it. As a side note there appeared to be cubes of auger scattered all around our table and others. Not sure what that was all about or if they just hadn’t cleaned. Bizarre!

Alana looked after our family really well when we came for dinner. She went above and beyond and made for a lovely Sunday evening.

Dinner for 4. Vienna Schnitzel, a favourite. Veal OK, crumb coating a bit soggy. Chips too fat, too raw in the middle. This dish should really come with a classic potato salad, viennese dressing. We asked for mustard there was none! In a 4 star hotel that has extensive F and B facilities? Peace was disturbed by a tray of glassware being dropped. Trying to get the bill at the end was a struggle. Staff too busy. Service was...below expectation. We chose not to eat here again on our 5 night stay.

Just returned home from a really nice meal at the hotel's Pentland Restaurant . Very pleasant food and amicable staff led to an overall positive experience where I got to use one of my many golf vouchers. I hope we will return in the near future.
