The Orangery at Victoria Square is open for dinner, lunch and traditional afternoon teas. Our menu has a strong emphasis on quality and provenance, including seasonal and locally foraged produce. We describe our evening menu as relaxed and refined dining;

This restaurant is tucked inside the wonderful Victoria Square (a boutique hotel) - where we have been staying. Both nights we had dinner here and I simply cannot fault the food, service, wine list, or atmosphere. The menu presents excellent options and I found it difficult to make a choice, and they have a very good wine list. We opted for mains and a dessert (could not fit in three courses). You start with canapés and pre dinner drinks in a lovely lounge and then move into the dining area. The beef I had last night was perfectly seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection - a medium rare (more on the wonderful rare side), with the most fabulous jus. Homemade breads and whipped, flavoured butters round out the mains. Dessert was equally impressive - a delightful panna cotta. Tonight I had a gorgeous guinea fowl, again with an amazing sauce - this time followed by fabulous local cheeses, fruit and pickled walnuts (a very robust sized serving!). This restaurant is in the hands of a very talented chef who obviously cares very deeply about his craft and who treats the produce with respect. Do yourself a favour and book a table.Dear Thesh0pperThank you so much for staying at Victoria Square and also enjoying your dining experiences at The Orangery. It is just so wonderful to hear how much you appreciated the wonderful food that chef produces and also that you found the wine selection to be so good.Wishing you happy travelsKind regardsKari & Phil

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there last night. Shame it was so quiet as it is without doubt amongst the best restaurant food in Stirling. Beautifully presented, first class ingredients and our waiter was lovely. We shared the fish platter to start. I had the aubergine and Parmesan bake and my husband had the pork belly with haggis - all delicious and if Iâm honest extremely cheap for the quality. Weâve paid double for a lot less in our hometown of Aberdeen. I can highly recommend and hopefully will be back many times in the future now our daughter has just joined the University in Stirling. Thank you for a great evening.

This beautifully appointed restaurant located in a former home was spectacular. The service was outstanding. We were on a short time line and our lunch was prepared and served quickly while still giving us time to enjoy the delicious food. We enjoyed potato leek soup that was rich and perfectly seasoned. The mushroom risotto was wonderful as was the pork schnitzel. As delicious as any I have had in Vienna! If you are in Sterling Scotland donât miss this lovely place where you will be treated like royalty.

We had pizzas there as a family. The pizza was soggy as the tomato sauce was too watery. They were not bad but not amazing. The service felt a bit unfriendly as if they would have preferred us not to be there. The restaurant feels more like a small takeaway with a few tables. No alcohol is served. No ice is available for drinks.

Welcoming, friendly and attentive staff in ambient surroundings. On our most recent visit we were visiting with friends for Sunday Lunch (13.00) - disappointingly and strangely two (out of three|) main courses offered as daily specials were no longer available? The food we ordered was however tasty and well presented. Would still recommend this restaurant.

Place was not busy, despite this the service was very slow - we were there an hour and a half just for a main course at lunch time. Also tried to charge us for an extra drink. The barman did not seem surprised in the slightest and took it off when questioned. Poor, would expect much better.Dear amysum1953,Thanks for taking the time to review your visit to The Meadowpark.Being over charged is never acceptable â sorry. We make every effort to ensure that the correct items are allocated to the correct bills. However, as with everything in life, human error is a factor. The staff are trained not to dispute a bill query to avoid embarrassment for the customer at the point of payment. I suspect this explains the reaction and that he also immediately realised the error. We find that no fuss is always the best policy.I am disappointed that your inference is that it was a deliberate act and that you chose to unfairly publish this on social media. We donât always get it right (a quick scan of other recent reviews might give a more balanced assessment of our business) but if you had chosen to speak to the manager on duty Iâm am confident we could have resolved the mistake. Its good to talk.Kind regards,Siobhan

Bloody love the crook! Been a few times and each time it's relaxed, fun and just a lovely place to be. The food, for me, has gotten even better. My three friends and I booked for Saturday past and shared 12 tapas dishes between us which was more than enough- I refused to share my churros though! Staff attentive and chilled kept checking on us for drinks but without being annoying. Only thing we missed was the live music which must have been the only Saturday they haven't had any but an excuse to go back nonetheless! Well done to owners and staff for making each trip a great one!Wow! Thanks very much for taking time out to write this! As you know we have music on every Saturday, but someone pulled out at short notice last week and it was too late to get a replacement Anyway, looking forward to seeing you again very soon!

Our second visit to the Gallery.Last time the food was excellent, though the service was informal and unsupervised.This time the food was abysmal, but the servers were clearly being advised and encouraged by supervisors.I guess it is hit and miss, but whatever the quality, it is good value (especially if you have wine), and this time we felt happy to be doing a civic service!It is wonderful for these young people to have the opportunity to serve genuine customers.We will definitely go again.

Thinking of a trip to Vecchia Bologna? I unadvise it in the strongest possible terms. The food is PATHETIC. The staff are rude and IGNORANT. One of the worst experiences of my life. Make no doubt about that. The pasta was soggy, overcooked and cold. And as for the sauce? You could barely even get your fork into the stuff it was so thick and gloopy. AVOIDBORING !!!!NOT YOU AGAIN !!The girl from the " AVOID AVOID AVOID " " comment .I do understand that a run of 20 very positive comments for our restaurant must be very upsetting for you . :-)))But it is o k darling we love you and we wish for you and all the first time bad reviwers ,never to be seen again, all the best.
