    From arrival to departure we were treated with a friendly and efficient professionalism. The whole meal, with the nice delicious touches in between, was a culinary experience that sent our tastebuds into overdrive. We look forward to our next visit, where we hope to try the tasting menu.

    Lovely food and great menu. Everyone very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend if you are in that area. One of the waitresses was very good at explaining the dishes but unfortunately the other just left the food without saying much. That is one area that could be improved upon.

    Visited the Globe for the first time last November. Had the tasting menu and it was superb. That experience made us want to come back, which we've just done. We went with the new tasting menu and were not disappointed. On each occasion, the staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, which added to the overall experience.

    This was our second trip to the globe, just to make sure it was as good as we thought. We ordered the degustation menu & spent the next 3 hours sampling the truly stunning dishes. Everything was superb, friendly professional service, exquisite food & an excellent atmosphere.

    Visited the globe for the fist time on Friday evening . We opted for the a la carte. From the moment we entered the premises we were well looked after as the service was amazing . The food is fine dining and absolutely delicious . The wine to accompany our meal was perfect . We have already agreed that we intend to return for lunch and possibly have the taster menu . Worth a visit especially for a special occasion .

    Fabulous food, compliments to the chefs, sauces with main courses to die for! Excellent service, particularly Kiera- a real star with a lovely friendly personality. We loved her whisky choices for us. Only negatives- chairs are not very comfortable & smaller tables for 2 are to small, constantly have to juggle things around to make room. Would still highly recommend. Our 3rd visit & never disappoints, can’t wait to return.

    As ever the food was excellent although the prices (understandably) have gone up since we were last there. Service was not up to their usual standard however. At time we felt rushed and the serving staff were a bit vague when asked about various dishes which is disingenuous to the chef. Still the best place to dine in Dumfries though.

    Tried the Globe on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. Went for the tasting menu when we saw what was on it. Everything superb. Staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dining room sympathetic to the origins of the Globe. Well worth the money.
