21212 Restaurant

A fascinating restaurant in every way. An extraordinary interior echos the past in a gently satirical way. The oversized banquettes give the diner a feeling of being a child in a grown-up's chair. The names given to each dish are witty jests; all this a nod perhaps to the divine Osteria Francescana. The open kitchen exudes calm, service is friendly and utterly professional. The food is complex and surprising. We enjoyed every minute of our lunch. Gone now. But not forgotten...

We ate here with a voucher, and on seeing how much the meal cost - definitely not worth it. The food was mostly nice, but very small portions. Went out somewhere else for a meal afterwards. 4-stars only because the service was fantastic from the staff and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. If I was choosing a place for fine dining, I would go somewhere else.

Our second visit and again we were not dissapointed, this is now our favourite fine dining establishment in Scotland, yes the food is that good! The staff were polite, prompt and well presented, they went above and beyond with their hospitality, also their knowledge of the food is exceptional. This gives you a relaxed feeling to your dining experience and with the quality of food you will want more.

We visited here with some friends for dinner and drinks. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint. Decor was beautiful. We opted for the 5 course, you get to choose from 2 starters, 1 soup, 2 mains, 1 cheese course and 2 desserts (21212) There was also some extra choices of specials so there was a great selection. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was explained perfectly to us from our extremely friendly hostess. All waiters and waitresses were fabulous, attentive and knowledgeable. We started the evening with an amuse-bouche which was beautiful - almost like gazpacho accompanied with beautiful bread. Starter was the tasty Cheesy Barley Pudding, then followed the soup. For main I opted for Halibut which was cooked to perfection. The cheese course was next - this was just great. So may different cheeses and biscuits to choose from. Some I have never tried before so it was a lovely experience. We ended the evening with a Lemon Meringue "Bombe" all washed down wish prosecco. Overall we were in the restaurant for a few hours. Nothing felt rushed - it was truly a unique and lovely experience with some fantastic food. Perhaps some low music in the background would be nice but I cannot wait to go back.

We had a special occasion to celebrate and the restaurant did not disappoint. Elegant and classy, impeccable service, good selection of wines and tranquil ambiance. So easy just to sit and relax and enjoy good food. We liked that we could choose how many courses to have and which ones off the menu: starter soup main cheese pudding. We went for four, with sharing cheese. It took us two hours and we didn’t notice how time went. Salmon with caviar for the starter, soup, eel - prepared and served with a touch of surprise. Chabli was very good. The only thing a party of Asian people in the middle of the room, with kids, sloppily dressed and sliding from their chairs, playing on their telephones - really, you cannot choose customers but maybe a subtle hint on dress code would help. Another thing, it was a birthday and a little something with a candle would be a fab finish to the meal.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch here. It was for a 3 course lunch voucher but also included were some additional crudités and a palate cleanser pre dessert. All the food was delicious, my wife, now gluten free, was made a special main off set menu which was a great touch. The service was friendly and attentive, and the setting lovely. We will certainly be back.

Amazing experience. Not just a dinner, but full experience. Great communication when reserving, caring host, all is smooth, very nice ambiance. Food is exceptional. All is reasonably priced. Service is impeccable (not intimidating how it might be sometimes in such places, not pretentious, but professional and with human touch). The interior is very stylish. Highly recommended for a self-care treat, a date, family dinner, celebration.

Exceptional place for a very special occasion. You will be pampered a lot. My daughter loved the place. It’s a Michelin star restaurant so you can expect a nice decor, private dining experience. All the dishes were nicely decorated however I have had better, softer meat at some much cheaper place. I would say chicken was way better cooked then red meat. Though the the quantity looks meager but when you finish you will be full.
