   Beautiful, everything was lovely a bit more expensive than what we would normally pay but a lovely treat. Food was beautifully presented and tasted great, you get some lovely wee extras throughout the evening. The young staff were amazing as they had to explained every dish in detail and couldn’t do enough for us. Overall a lovely experience, thank you to all for our fine dining experience.

   Tasting menu, with whisky pairing (we've done wine pairings at plenty of places but this was something new), absolutely excellent. Everything, the food, service, ambience, staff, all outstanding.

   Everything about the Globe is first class. The history and ambience set the scene for your dining experience. The staff are engaging, knowledgeable and maintain a perfect pace, between courses, to allow diners to enjoy the menu fully. There is an excellent choice of beers, wines and cocktails. The food is fantastic. Great balance, presentation and taste. A testament to the artistry of the chef and his team. Take time to visit the back rooms, original kitchen and bar, to fully appreciate the history and imagine Rabbie Burns writing some of his poetry in the corner. Highly recommended and we will be back.

   The sweet courses were too sweet tbh, and I found it frustrating that we were left alone around the time our bill was going to be needed… i had to search around the pub and call out to eventually find someone.

   Hey Philip, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on your visit to The Globe Inn on April 25th. We're glad you'd recommend us overall! However, we're sorry to hear that the desserts were too sweet for your liking and that you experienced frustration when trying to get your bill. That's definitely not the kind of service we aim to provide. We'll be sure to pass on your comments about the sweetness of the desserts to our kitchen team. We'll also be reviewing our service procedures to ensure our guests don't have to search for a member of staff when they need assistance, especially when it comes to settling the bill. We hope you might consider visiting us again in the future so we can provide you with a more seamless and enjoyable experience.

   A simply stunning tasting menu from the team at 1610. Up there with the very best I've eaten. I've frequented some great restaurants over the years even up to 3 star Michelin standard, and this place is up there with the best of them. Each course of the tasting menu was beautifully prepared, presented and very well balanced.The flavours were delicious. The staff are efficient and very friendly and engaging. The restaurant itself is atmospheric and has a beautiful old world charm, which is in line with its close and historical links to Robert Burns. The only thing I would change is music. Both times I have been in, it's been piano music on loop which I feel doesn't fit the surroundings. I would suggest some modern Scottish songs or even contemporary Burns songs ie Eddie Reader singing Burns

   Dear Tom, Thank you for your stunning OpenTable review and high ratings! We're thrilled you found our tasting menu "up there with the very best," even compared to Michelin stars. Your praise for the food, our friendly staff, and the atmospheric charm means a lot. We really appreciate your feedback on the music (modern Scottish/Burns like Eddi Reader) and will certainly take it into consideration as we aim to enhance the experience. We hope to welcome you back to 1610 soon!
