    The food really is outstanding. Out party had a range of dishes, all delicious- the chef really knows what they’re doing. High standard of food more than makes up for lack of atmosphere, and unusually good value, too.

    First time patron and I will be back. The food and service cannot be faulted. Imaginative dishes and a wide selection of starters, small plates, mains and desserts, all immaculately prepared, presented and served.

    Food was lovely as always, just the service is pretty slow and probably not enough staff for the amount of people who were there. I’m very patient but most people like a drink once they’re sat at there table, our friend that was with us was getting a little frantic as no one came to take a drink order and he had to ask one of the staff for drinks. Anyway still a lovely evening and food was fab ⭐️

    This restaurant is a perfect spot for a superb Sunday lunch with an excellent and comprehensive menu. The food quality was delicious and absolutely excellent from locally sourced suppliers. A quiet atmosphere really helped us have a pleasant, restful and enjoyable conversation without background noise drowning out what we said. We would highly recommend The Stack Restaurant and Bar.

    Food was lovely as always - service ok - ambience zero! It would have been good to have had a nice Mother’s Day welcome drink or even the menu to have had a special mums day offer - also the restaurant lacks any sort of table decoration & some nice music in the background would be good to go give nice atmosphere! It was not special enough just to have food that they have every day!
