cottiers bar and restaurant

bar food&staff. i don't know if new management have taken over cottiers bar, but thestaffdid not seem to understand what my daughter and i were saying, we had to constantly ask for, water, cutlery, napkins, and the food was cold and they did not seem to care one way oranother, themanager seemed to be onher mobile phone all the time and looked at us with disgust when we had to interrupt her call and ask for the above, we live in hyndland and go there often, but not after today, what a horrible experience

bliss. i returned to this stunning gemt this april after a very long time since the last visit and was oh so pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of the food and the atmosphere have only improved! lovely, attentivestaffand tasty yet simply, well prepared dishes.

i had the organic shetland salmon fillet, char-grilled vegetables, king prawn quinoa and pesto; one friend had the sweet potato, coconut and chick pea curry with homemade flatbread and pilau rice and the other had the slow-roasted shoulder of dumfrieshire lamb with squash dauphinoise and minted peas. all presented and cooked beautifully. with wine and a couple of other drinks, it all came in at £50 for the three of us.

i'd go back tomorrow, and the day after...

just go - and go again.. i've been to cottier's t least 6 times now and it's aways proved reliable for the lovliest food and very professional yet relaxed and efficient staff. desserts always please, wine list is well stocked, the fish is always cooked to perfection and the surroundings are understatedly beauitful. the downstairs pub and beer garden are a must, too.
