    We came to Duck and Waffle to celebrate with my family. As we were a large group, they allowed us to use the whiskey room after reserving with a deposit. The restaurant is just located outside/ near to the entrance to the shopping centre and has a great atmosphere with the lights and open whisky bar. The whisky room is great with a TV that can be linked to phone to show pictures. The only negative about the private whisky room was that it heated up quickly! The staff were attentive and friendly with them showing to out seats and taking drinks orders quickly - and giving several useful recommendations! The only downside was that overall the food was lacking. The Harrisa Cauliflower tasted okay but felt that it could have used more time to cook and soften up - further more, the turkey main was very average alongside the plum pudding. So all in all, great atmosphere and service - the food was lacking.

    Had breakfast here - the duck and waffle, eggs and avocado on toast and the fruit bowl were absolutely amazing. Great atmosphere and the staff were brilliant, very attentive, especially the guy who took us to our table, Alvaro who kept us topped up with water and a man who we presume to be a manager who we saw talking to everyone and generally being really friendly and enthusiastic. Only one minor gripe is that we were here when it was very quiet and they sat people quite close to eachother (I get it, lots of places do it). It was no big deal but the table two over from us were quite loud. Visiting Scotland for only for a few nights we wanted to use our time for the best places to eat and this didn't disappoint. I'd definitely recommend!

    Lovely breakfast and staff. Not been to the London one so can’t compare to the original however, this is a really good welcome to the Duck and Waffle “chain”. Almost feels wrong calling it a chain but they have 2 and heading to 3 so guess that’s only fair. I had the Scottish breakfast and was lovely. One egg slightly over poached so not as much lovely yolk to dip across the plate however, was still lovely. Ignore the fact was a breakfast, I’m on holiday! But the 3 cocktails were lovely too. I had the biscoff old fashioned, low country and the take a bow. All amazing I’d come back when here again and also can’t wait to see the London one
