Loved it (again) Christmas Lunch, .... initially thought "oh no, we're stuck through the back" , but hey .... it was nicer through there than the crowded 'front end' ... staff were fan and couldn't do enough, the food was absolutely delicious, atmosphere ( could have been a bit better ) but allowances have been made because of the 'Covid' situation ..... all in all a very enjoyable experience.... would recommend it without hesitation 👍

An excellent first visit to this establishment. The staff were friendly and attentive. Covid compliant. Very warm and intimate setting on this visit, Sunday lunchtime. The starters were tasty and the mains superb. Always make room for the dessert, that's what I say. Congratulations to the chef and kitchen staff for the meals. Will definitely be going back for seconds. The touch of light snow make the setting more memorable. We'll done on booking the snow, nice touch!

When we arrived the person to greet us. I think was the owner was not welcoming at all. There were 6 of us for our sons graduation lunch. It was definetly not special. all main meal except one was tasteless.. the price certainly didn't match the quality of food or dessert. We came on the good reviews unfortunately we will not be back or recommend.

One of my favourite eateries. I love the setting of the Blair and inside is so cosy. The food is delicious with good sized portions and a good selection of dishes. Staff are really friendly too. Book in advance as it is always busy and quite rightly so.

This is like an institution. Heard it's been in business for ages. I'd call it a modern Scottish restaurant. Yes you'll find haggis and steak pie here. I opted to try something else, all yummy. They have a little gift shop at the front. Tip: reservation is a must, they get busy here even during weekdays. There's outdoor seating but I've not seen anyone sit outside, ahh my be the scottish weather ;)

Sometimes, I think good restaurant is combination of all, tasty food, good presentation above all lovely, warm and hospitable staff. I think The Blair has it all. I happened to drop by while visiting Blair Activity Center, upon arrival I was asked if I have reservation, which I could see jam packed restaurant from outside, capacity to the place is 61, at the moment. Finally we were seated outside, in the well maintained garden. It was really very relaxing place, the server lady was very polite, took our food order. We ordered Coke, Burschittas as starter, main course was Baked Macaroni and crispy
