Napizza

Award Winning Neapolitan Pizzeria in the Heart of Stirling. People say: "I have been here many times and I am always welcomed with warm smiles and great hospitality. The pizza is wonderful, fresh and delicious. I could say more but I would never stop writ

Reviewed By ianster10

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.

The Allan Park Pub & Restaurant

Reviewed By Kenneth1960

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.

The Crook Bar

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!

Reviewed By NotatHome014

The first time we visited we were glad to snag the last seat inside. This time (following GOT and Outlander filming at Doune Castle) there were no seats inside but we found that they had moved to seats outside so we snagged one. Even as busy as it was we got quick service (as unlike inside outside was table service). I got a great bowl of soup and bread and my husband got a very tasty wrap of some sort. We would suggest this nice little cafe for a good breakfast or lunch or both!Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We are delighted you enjoyed yourself so much the first time that you returned.You are correct in saying that not only do we have seating in the main cafe but also our rear room (which you have to go outside to access) and of course our outside seating for when the weather permits! It’s only fair to point out though that all areas of the cafe are table service. Thank you again for your great review - all the staff very much appreciate it.

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. (not a complaint, but the wifi didn't work)Hi Mary Thanks for taking the time to feedback to us. As you will no doubt have been aware we have literally just had a brand new intake of students.

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.

Chez Roux

Reviewed By Topdowner

My mother and I were taken out to lunch here by friends, our first visit to this restaurant and it is difficult to fault in any area. There was disabled parking right beside the front door and staff immediately appeared at the door to help us in and provide guidance. We were accompanied by two elderly disable folk, one severely, but none of us had trouble manoeuvering through to the restaurant and settling at a table. Throughout the day the service was friendly, but incredibly efficient, with lovely touches of flair like being presented with a choice of orange or lime with our water.The restaurant is run by Albert Roux and so I tried 2 of his signature dishes. The floating Swiss cheese souffle was possible the best starter I've ever eaten and the lemon tart was subtly flavoured and also delicious. My roe deer loin with side bits and pieces was delicious, but the smallest of the main dishes ordered, so I was pleased to help my mother with her Yorkshire pudding and potatos. The roast beef was deemed to be a little chewy by all 3 who ordered it due to it being rare. Although I appreciate that this is intended by the chef, it would have been nice to have been offered medium or well done.The little touches made this a spectacular experience, the amuse bouche, home made fancies with the coffee, the ability to move through to the lounge for coffee, starched serviettes, etc.At £42 for a 3 course table d'hote menu, this represented good value for money given that an occasion like this should be regarded as more than a lunch, but an experience.

A large group of friends were accommodated at short notice. Charming little bar with large restaurant tastefully designed. Staff excellent. Extensive menu and I would recommend the specials but they also do standard gastropub food. Wine and local beers were excellent. Good value too. Quality of food was excellent. Great ambiance in keeping with Dunblane.

Had a lovely meal, great service. Booked a table for 7.30pm as reservations were recommended. Restaurant was quite busy for mid week. We had the sharing bread dish to start, both had the steak, side salad, both had the orange cheesecake. Food was well presented and delicious. We will certainly be back as I want to try the carrot cake next time! And the chips were out of this world!
