"Eh. I could just leave it at that, but I won't. I was in St Andrews for a conference, my colleague and I were staying overnight and needed somewhere fairly reasonable to go for dinner. Mitchell's certainly was reasonable and had a decent selection of different mains. The place is quite cool inside and I liked the décor, plus they had steak pie on the menu so I was pretty happy to begin with. Service was originally pretty good, but after we'd finished our meal and refused desserts/coffee, we were just left sitting there, basically ignored by staff members and ended up having to actually go up to the till to pay. If it was really busy then obviously I could forgive this, but it was pretty quiet! We both ordered steak pie and weren't massively impressed. The steak pie itself was ok (although more juices instead of gravy and verrrrry herby and so were the veggies, but the mash tasted of nothing and was actually lumpy! They were actually serving steak pie as part of lunch the next day at the conference, and we both ended up going for that too, to try and make up for the night before! (It was delicious, highly recommend the steak pie at the Fairmont! I had a few suspicions while I was there that it was probably G1, especially due to the fairly rubbish service (seems to be a common theme among G1 places and the decor had a pretty familiar theme too. After a bit of Googling I confirmed this and was pretty gutted. Had I realised before we went in I probably would've suggested somewhere else! The wee deli at the front was pretty cute and I could be tempted back there if I'm ever in St Andrews again, but I don't think I'd pay the restaurant another visit."
