   Great experience from start to finish,from the warm welcome as we walked in, to the haste ye back as we left. The waiting staff were amazing, seeing to our every need with good humour and attention to detail. We went for the three course lunch which was excellent value for money. The combination of flavours and textures was mouthwatering. Only down side was there was only one other set of customers in the venue. People are missing out on a great dining experience! Will definitely be back soon.

   Recommended by a friend, the recently changed Globe Inn surpassed all expectations. Excellent food and service. A little culinary gem in Dumfries. Furthermore, if you like whiskey then this the place to go.

   We had dinner with friends Saturday the 7th May 22, was a very good meal ,previously dined there Feb22 which was also good ,but I would say the restaurant continues to improve , one comment I would make ,the go to potato side is chips which are very good ,but it might be an idea to have an additional potato option that compliments the fine dining aspirations .

   The Globe InnResponded 3 days ago

   Thank you so much for your kind review of The Globe. We do actually have a side dish on our menu, which is Pomme Aligot. This is a delicious potato and chive oil mash with gruyere cheese and wild garlic. Really does compliment our dishes perfectly. Thank you once again, and we hope to see you back at the restaurant soon! Kind regards, Kenno

    Lovely meal out with friends. 7 course taster menu with wine pairings. Food was superb - tried things I would normally have avoided and enjoyed them. I’m not a huge wine drinker but I enjoyed trying the wines which complimented each course, for the first time ever I enjoyed a sweet wine with dessert. Service was spot on - plenty of information on each course, just a suggestion but perhaps the waiter could tell the table what each wine is and how it compliments the food. It was written on a card but we stopped reading that half way through! Decor is perfect and in keeping with the historical background of the Globe.

    The Globe InnResponded on 4 May 2022

    Thank you for writing a review of The Globe Inn. Our degustation menu is a wonderful opportunity to try dishes that you would normally avoid, or be unsure of. Many of our customers have re-tried something they normally wouldn't enjoy and have been converted! Our chefs work tirelessly to ensure that all of our ingredients work harmoniously together on the plate. Thank you for noting that we should be offering more information about our wine. We will make sure this happens. Kindest regards, Kenno

    The evening stared with the Burns tour which was relaxing informative and well presented. The whole ambiance is relaxing and makes for a lovely evening with friends or for that special celebration. That special feeling comes from being so well looked after. The food is exquisite, every mouthful bursting with taste. The gluten free menu was outstanding. The whole evening was so memorable and enjoyed by us all.

    Have been several times before and enjoyed my meal. This time they did not have the vegetarian meal which was on the menu, I am not veggie but fancied that for a change! I also had the desert which had the rice in it and was most disappointed! It will not put me off coming back!

    Food was excellent, interesting, well presented, with great flavours - a real treat. All the components of the roast pheasant starter were just perfect, and the lamb main was beautifully cooked. Portion control was also excellent. The Chef (who came and chatted with us and other diners) is doing a great job. The new owners have transformed what was the public bar in the Globe, and eating in such an old, historic setting is a bonus. Not sure about keeping the snug as a public bar in such proximity to the restaurant though. We could clearly hear the loud conversations at times from this. The serving staff were lovely, and it's all clearly quite new, so forgetting to offer us wine was totally forgivable, but in a restaurant of this class going forward needs to be automatic. Would definitely recommend,

    We had the 5 course tasting menu and the food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The front of house team were welcoming and helpful and took time to understand our needs and meet them. The Hungarian white wine was delicious too ... I've never had wine from Hungary before but will definitely have it again.

    The quality, flavour and presentation of the food was not the issue! I am allergic to fish / seafood and made sure on 3 separate occasions that this was known to the restaurant. Chefs canapes - fish served to everyone at the table including myself. When highlighted, it was removed but I got nothing as alternative other than an excuse from the kitchen! Main course lots of flavour but all 6 people at table said plates barely luke warm and food sadly the same. Again, highlighted to waiter and to chef himself. Definite need to improve on supporting elements which deyract from the food!

    Food delicious, particularly my desert but portion size could be a bit more generous on starter and main. Have done fine dining all over the world and the portion sizes were never this small. Would love to eat here again but apparently the menu doesn’t change very often so we’ll need to wait until the next season arrives. I thought we were in Spring but apparently not! Great wine list. And very welcoming service.

    Obviously one of the attractions is its historic significance with Rabbie Burns, but this restaurant does not hide behind this. The food is outstanding and very well presented, and the wine list is comprehensive and not overly expensive. An excellent dining experience with attentive staff in comfortable surroundings. The cauliflower veloute is to die for and a meal in itself!
