    Another lovely meal with a great atmosphere especially when the pub quiz started. Just felt the service was sluggish. Sat waiting a full ten minutes before we flagged someone down to order drinks. Then they didnā€™t come with the drinks and had to be chased up. Once we ordered, the starters came and then when they were done we sat for another ten minutes before we were asked if we wanted anything else! Yes please - our main courses! So it just felt that there was a shortage of staff and although it didnā€™t detract from the overall experience it didnā€™t live up to usual standards. But food was great!

    Bit brightly lit Service felt as if lip service rather than being interested Hard to get the eye if anyone whe. Needing someone with layout Food was ok. Nothing to rave about. Menu wasnā€™t as exciting as expected from website.

    We deducted the service charge, the reason for this was the waitresses we not particularly friendly or even looked like they were enjoying their job, we had to ask on three occasions for service and after our sweet it was as though we had been forgotten, no one at any point asked us if we needed more water, or if we wanted coffee. The food is outstanding just a shame that on this occasion the service wasnā€™t up to Tje Saints usual standard.

    Meal was lovely, rather expensive! Presentation very nice! Choice of menu was lovely! Service was very slow, our table was booked for 6pm and we were still waiting for our main meal at 7.15pm we asked three times if our meal was coming soon! We weren't really in a hurry but we had our 4 year old grandson with us and he had his main when we had our starters, so he was finished and we still never had our main meals, obviously he was getting bored!! When the food eventually came I was annoyed by the waitress who kind of shrugged and said sorry for your short wait!! Eh no 3/4 of an hour for food is not a short wait honey!!! We possibly would have had desserts but as our grandson had his dessert when we had our mains it wouldn't have been fair to keep him waiting even longer! Also once we paid our rather hefty bill, the waitress said thankyou, but as we left not one person said thankyou or even bye! Kind of off putting unfortunately!

    Great place to eat in St Andrews. We took a baby in and staff were very accommodating and friendly. Service could have been a bit quicker but we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely return.
