We popped in here for a Fish Tea. The cafe wasn't busy. Of the 2 staff serving, one was talkative but the other looked as if she couldn't be bothered!! I ordered and paid at the bar, went to the toilet. These left a lor to be desried. Litter on the floor, dust in the toilets, hot water taps very difficult to use, especially with arthritic hands. The food came quickly, was tasty and hot. I'd say good value for money but the toilets really need attention

This one of the oldest golf courses in the world and has fantastic catering. The food that comes out of the kitchen is of high end restaurant quality. Their theme nights are well attended, thoughtfully presented and great value. If you're not into golf, try the restaurant, you won't be disappointed.

We went as a couple to try the restaurant out as we have family coming up from England and were looking for somewhere nice to take them for dinner. There was a lovely older gentleman & his daughter sat across from us. They did not eat their food. We heard them complain to the manager that the fish was very dried up & hard. The gentleman said he had eaten the fish there before and it was nice but not on this occasion. We saw the fish and my husband said it was not fit for eating. The manager spoke to the couple and said all the fish was of the same quality speculating that there was nothing wrong with it. We had already decided after hearing the conversation that would not eat there as we were planning on having fish. The waiter came to take our order my husband said we have decided not to eat here after hearing the complaint from the other table. My husband quoted it should be the chef that should be explaining to the couple about the meal that was served to them. He said I will get my manager. That was all I said to the waiter. The manager came out & was very vocal towards my husband,telling him it was none of his business, but my husband was speaking on behalf of the older gentleman as he felt that the manager was just fobbing him off. His attitude was very unacceptable, he was raising his voice & very unprofessional. When we were leaving he spoke to my husband and said that he had upset his staff, under no circumstances was this true,He only said that we have decided not to eat here after hearing the complaint from the other table. We spoke to the other couple in the car park and told them about the comment from the manager about upsetting the waiter and they were appalled by this and said under no circumstances did you say anything to upset the waiter. They were appalled by the way the manager spoke to my husband. In my opinion the boss needs to send his manager on a customer relations course. It would be nice to seek an apology.There are of course 2 two sides to every story. Within the hospitality industry we are here to be of service to our customers but we also have a duty towards our staff particularly when a customer, whether unintentionally or otherwise, makes them feel uncomfortable or intimidated. Our servers did nothing wrong and after considering the full circumstances I believe it is inappropriate to fault our manager for being supportive of our staff. I am of course saddened that after my subsequent telephone conversation with your husband the matter could not be resolved.

A wet and chilly day, on o'clock lunchtime. McTaggarts was busy, but they found room for two people who wanted a bite in dreary November.Two soups: broccoli and almond and lentil and ham. Oat crackers with one, bacon roll the other. An Americano with milk on the side. Major problem: both soups very tepid, both dreadfully over-salted. Why didn't I complain on the spot? Typical British letting it go; mea culpa. Crackers OK (could hardly not be), bacon roll tasty and well-filled. The coffee? Hot, yes, but very muddy-tasting. There's no excuse for poor coffee nowadays. Staff all pleasant, but w lad who took my payment at the end got into a frightful muddle, offering me three different prices before we finally settled on one that seemed probable.McT's has won awards in the past but it seems to be rather on the slide. Those soups were unforgivable - not just the lack of heat but the terrible over-salting. At a time when there's a great awareness of the dangers of excessive salt in the diet, I do think the consume can be allowed to choose the salinity of their own soup. We can always add salt to soup, but we can't remove it once it is there. And the coffee used to be excellent and reliable - maybe a bit more staff training? Maybe a machine needs cleabibg?Hi Martin BThanks for your post. I can clarify a few issues for you. Firstly, if you ever find the food not to your satisfaction, please say so. We will gladly change it and will not be offended in the least. Sometimes soup is served a little cold, sometimes it is too hot. It happens.Our coffee is the highest quality. It is not cheap but we buy in high quality stuff. If you felt it tasted "muddy", we put two shots in an Americano, many other coffee establishments just give you one and I feel the coffee can be watery. It is a matter of opinion, of course but the quality can not be questioned. All our staff are trained to serve all the different coffees. Human error is a fact of life but I can assure you, no one who serves coffee in the café is incompetent or untrained.As for the soup, again, it's a matter of taste. You can't please everyone. There's rarely a day when the soups don't sell out. You claim standards at the café are "on the slide". If performance is "on the slide" I'd say some kind of pattern would have to be evident rather than a one event which is not to your satisfaction. Just today we introduced a new menu with several innovative items which I don't think is indicative of an establishment which takes its customers for granted. Lastly, the young chap who got muddled on the till. He's a new start, a smashing young lad who we are delighted to have in our team. I hope you can see things from our point of view. Next time should things not be to your satisfaction, please say so and we will make amends. Best wishes, John

We had visited here earlier this year and enjoyed it so much that when we had family visiting we decided to take them there. Unfortunately, we had actually made a mistake with our booking and when we called prior to arriving they didn't have our booking totally our fault. We were so grateful that they managed to accommodate us at very short notice in their function suite even although it was set up for a function the next day. The staff were wonderful and the food again was delicious. Can't praise them highly enough. Thank you to all.

Reviewed By Jabberwocky7
Burntisland is devoid of anywhere for evening meals....pizza or ice cream as an evening option not the best.. And that's it for the High Street. Went to this venue and as ravenous was lured by the authentic curry claim.. So ordered the chicken curry... Which arrived in under 5 mins.. So obviously a micro wave job.. On arrival, no steaming dish and the balti type container was cold to the touch, and sure enough the meat was tepid and drowned in an almost inedible salty muck! To be fair the waitress asked how bit was and after owning up I was given a 50% discount on the food order.. But you only get one chance to make a good first impression, and this was awful... Won't be back. Sorry you didn't enjoy your meal. At the point the waitress checked back you made her aware that the curry was not hot enough. We apologised for this and offered to get a fresh curry made. We discounted your meal 50% as we took your word that it was not hot enough for your liking however as you ate every last drop and did not mention it was vile we didn't go any further. Rest assured we do not microwave our curry and like all our dishes it is made in house from scratch. Once again sorry you never enjoyed our curry, it is one of our most popular dishes although we fully appreciate that taste is entirely subjective..
