"I had a lovely meal at Kingsway farm in Dundee last weekend. The carvery was delicious and generous, with a variety of meats and vegetables to choose from. The price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. The customer service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome and valued. The manager also came to our table to ask about our experience and to thank us for choosing their restaurant. The only downside was that the decor was a bit outdated and could use some renovation. However, this did not affect the overall enjoyment of our meal. I would definitely recommend Kingsway farm to anyone looking for a good carvery in Dundee. At time of writing and on weekend prices in total I spent £8.69 for the small Carvery and £3.49 for a two litre drink. All in all a fake price. Kingsway Farm also halves a great selection of ice creams that can be seen from the bar area and also a great selection of cakes absolutely fantastic really enjoy the cakes even though I didn't have one on this occasion I have done in the past. They also have a play area for kids and families. Can be busy at times due to popularity. You can book, but I've always just turned up as a party of 2 a few times. Easier enough to get a table and any wait I've ever had is within about 10-15 mind maximum. People are coming and going all the time. You shouldn't have a problem. You can book online if necessary."

"I would say having been coming to the Pancake Place over the last 10 years, once every other month, it has sadly went very badly down hill. My wife and I visited with our 12 year old daughter. On arrival we were seated quickly and our drinks order taken within a few minutes. We received our drinks 2 diet pepsi which were not fizzy (clearly issue with draft) and a smoothie which was very tasty and refreshing. There were maybe about 4 or 5 tables occupied, so for a lunchtime I thought why is it so quet . Anyway, my wife and daughter both ordered the macaroni and I ordered the fish and chips. We received our food within about 5 6 mins which made me question that alot of the food must have just been simply reheated! The macaroni was insipid and lacked seasoning and my fish was about half the size of the normal portion I was used to getting. I questioned this with the server and he went to the kitchen only to return to advise that they can 't control the size of the portions they receive from their supplier!? The fish was definitely small enough to be a child 's portion. I requested why don 't they just give me an extra portion of the fish to which he replied. Sorry can 't do that but we can remove the meal from your bill . They did ask if I would like an alternative from the menu but by this point my wife and daughter had already eaten half of their meal so I wasn 't willing to make them wait any longer. In addition to this we were not given any cutlery until after we were served our food. Both my wife and daughter said they did not enjoy their food but it was edible. I returned my plate to the kitchen and received a credit off the bill. Sorry but £12 for what was basically a kids portion of fish, a handful of chips and a rotten looking side salad, it is very overpriced for what you get. None of us will be returning here. Quite sad really given it was always such a friendly, busy and quality cafe. Owners please do better!"

"We booked a table at Gidi Grill recently and had a generally lovely experience. My wife ordered the prawn starter and the sirloin steak with burger sauce, whereas I opted for the lamb starter, and a rump steak, with jerk sauce and my 3yr old son had fish goujons with french fries. I was undecided between their green chilli sauce and their jerk sauce, so when I asked for a small taster, they happily obliged in order to help me decide. The starters were absolutely impeccable... and they were presented well on their respective plates. The prawns were just right not overcooked and 'rubbery ' and the lamb starter was flawless. They arrived in a timely manner within 10 15 minutes, and were devoured so quickly that I didnt have a chance to take a photograph of them. My son loved his fish goujons and fries too, which were conveniently served alongside our starters. My wife 's steak arrived as requested well done and although I requested mine to be medium, it was more of a medium rare. I raised this politely with the waiting staff, and they were happy to oblige, returning my now medium steak to me within a few minutes. An overall very fine dining experience was had by all, albeit with a few minor niggles. When we arrived, i felt we could have been seated, a tad sooner as I did see 2 3 staff lingering around the front seemingly unoccupied. And, although we had finished our starters before the main course was ready, it was served before the plates and cutlery from the starters were removed, causing alot of congestion on the table. Usually the mains are served once the table has been completely cleared of the previous course. And finally when we requested another drink (a coke) our waiter went to order it and seemed to start doing other things (clearing tables etc). After 5 minutes (which felt like 15 because i was really thirsty and had already finished my first drink) i asked him again, only to be told it was on it 's way, after which it did arrive after a couple of minutes. But as I said earlier, these issues were minor, and if they were not a part of my experience, Gidi Grill would recieve 5/5 starts from me, however I feel that, although 4 stars give an accurate reflection of my experience, I would have given 4.5/5 if that were possible. All in all, our food was absolutely delicious! If i could give it a standing ovation, I would. It was worth every penny, and we 'd highly recommend their steaks as well as their prawn and lamb starters. We 'll definitely be back to check out the rest of their menu."
