Had a great Christmas gathering with our team from work.
Awesome meal, we had a private room to ourselves and everything was awesome!

I recently visited Scozia with five friends to celebrate my birthday, and, unfortunately, it ended up being a truly disappointing experience. If it weren’t for the company of my friends, the night could have been a complete disaster.

To start, the restaurant itself is undeniably beautiful with a lovely atmosphere—but oddly, there was no music playing. It felt strange and somewhat empty, especially given how visually appealing the space is. Our server, an older gentleman who introduced himself as “Chad” (though he was in a Halloween costume, so who knows if that was his real name), was honestly terrible. From the beginning, he seemed rushed and dismissive. Every time we tried to ask questions or explain any issues, he would hurry off before we’d even finished speaking, offering no apology or acknowledgment—just a quick “OK” and he was gone.

What made it even worse was that the staff knew it was my birthday, but it was never acknowledged in any way. Not even a simple “Happy Birthday” or a small gesture, which would have been easy enough to arrange. This lack of care was really disappointing.

To top it off, one of my friends received the wrong order, and when we mentioned the mistake to Chad, his response was nothing short of dismissive. He didn’t apologize or even acknowledge his error; instead, he brushed it off with a quick response and walked away. It really felt like he just didn’t care about the experience we were having.

The food, sadly, was incredibly underwhelming. It tasted like something you’d find in the frozen aisle and then reheated. We chose Scozia because of its glowing reviews, but after experiencing it firsthand, I can’t understand where the praise is coming from. The restaurant was so busy that our food took ages to arrive, and when my pregnant friend politely asked if they could bring her a small piece of bread to hold her over, we were stunned to see they had actually charged us for it. I found that completely absurd.

Overall, Scozia was such a disappointment. With average food, a rushed and indifferent server, a lack of acknowledgment for special occasions, poorly handled errors, and unexpected charges, it’s hard to say anything positive. I really wish our experience had matched the restaurant’s reputation because, sadly, I won’t be coming back.

Terrible experience. Decided to give a try. The bar attached (Ferguson Room Bar ) stank like old musty beer as soon as you walk in. So we decided to go to the the formal restaurant to eat. Sat us out in a glass enclosed space. Was ok. But the flies were terrible. Food was seasoned at all. Very bland. Server was nice. Food came fast but no surprised when you don’t season it.
Never again. 1st / last

We had a wonderful time. We were a party of 6. We all ordered steak. All of our steaks were cooked to each person's perfection. Zero complaints from our table. Make sure you have $$$.

Waited for 35 minutes for an order of pizza and pasta and were never checked up on. We asked another waitress how much longer it would take and she said that that wasn’t normal at all and so she checked and brought it out immediately. She was the only person there that was at all kind or respectful us. Our waiter himself was very rude and when we mentioned the delay he made many snide and dismissive comments. Manager really didn’t do anything and argued back about the situation doing nothing other than “resolving” it with a 15% discount that only covered tax when the bill came, she just said she would talk to him after. Right after this interaction we heard him laughing in the back. Overall a shockingly negative experience, would not go back or recommend to others.

Curry was luke warm, had minimal sauce, and food portion was small. Guest who ordered steak and ale pie - crust was burned. Black on the edges. Guest who ordered schnitzel was happy. Large portion and delicious. He shared. We spoke to the lovely waitress and she got us more curry sauce and heated up our entrees. Spoke to the manager about the curry. Said she would tell the chef. Hmph.

My friend took me here as he had a wonderful experience the week before. Would have loved to try the food, but instead we waited for a waiter that never came while watching people get seated and served inside (we were seated on the patio). After about 20 minutes, we just left. Very poor service considering the restaurant wasn't busy at the time either. We were the only table for the first 10 minutes of being there.

Amazing! The location was stunning. Music was pleasant and not too loud. Food was great. Service wasn't quick but neither was it unacceptably slow, and the young woman who helped us was awesome.

I would go again when I'm in the area.

Wheelchair accessibility: The tables were far apart and easy for my disabled companion to maneuver. We had the choice of bench or chair, which was great, since sometimes we can only use a chair.

Love this place. The food is fantastic! The vibe is also really nice. Whether you're on a date of there with family, it's super nice. Make sure to use the upstairs bathrooms if you're into spookiness. It supposedly haunted up there!
