Element Bar

We popped in on Sunday afternoon and were lucky to get in, as all the tables were reserved. So it's good to book a table in advance. This place is so beautifully decorated and staff are very polite and friendly, that I wish I could always visit here on Sundays. I had fish, I can't remember what it was, but it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

First things first! Total need to book in advance. People being turned away from 7.30 when we arrived to 9pm when we left. Also... Not at all tranquil on a Friday night! Not only did we have to push ourselves in through the door to start our journey through the crowds to the restaurant, but then a guitarist started up at the front of the bar who could clearly be heard at the back of the restaurant. Then there's the other guests which included a party of 8 who were very noisy. Next..... Wonderful food and wonderful service! We had to wait for our pre booked table in the bar and the barman served my wife first. Excellent! We are of a certain age and he treated her like royalty. He made a cocktail with theater. Thank you! Then through to the restaurant section. Service impeccable. The menu is simple, and limited, but so well done. Haggis lollypops and scotch egg followed by fish and chips and Balmoral chicken. A 10% service charge automatically added so we didn't tip. Total for 2 was under £60. Strongly recommended.

We enjoyed great food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. The haggis lollipops, fish and chips, and "Stake and Ale Pie" were all very tasty. In addition, thank you to the staff for being so kind to us, even though our English is not very good. I am a little sorry that I ordered a whiskey sour in a Scotch whiskey mecca, but it was very tasty and I enjoyed it. I hope I can enjoy a single malt when I visit again.
