"I started with the cucumber avant-garde, which was surprisingly hard to describe, even after tasting it, but the flavors were incredible. The green curry fried chicken was also exceptional; it was bursting with flavor. For our main courses, we had the pig cheeks, which were delightful, and the rump steak, which was truly unbelievable! It was so tender it practically melted in my mouth and was cooked to perfection. Plus, it was one of the largest steaks I've ever been served—two of us struggled to finish it! I really should have asked for a doggy bag because it would have made for fantastic sandwiches the next day. Though we didn’t have much room left for dessert, I couldn't resist trying the plum tart, which was absolutely delicious. The wine was very reasonably priced for its quality and available by the glass. I'm already looking for excuses to be in Dumfries on a Thursday or Friday again so we can come back!"

"It was a really nice place, we came here simply because the other place we wanted to visit was closed but happy we did. The staff were all super friendly, and it had a very welcoming atmosphere, the food was also delicious and very well priced in my opinion. Great vegan vegetarian selection, and a separate vegan menu which made ordering very easy."

"Went here on the 24th June 2018. There was 2 lovely members of staff working. One of the ladies was called Shannon and she was brilliant. Did not get the name of the other lady but she was lovely. The food was very nice and the place itself was bright and airy. I will go back there when I next visit Scotland."

"I’m not quite sure where to start with this as I’ve never experienced such poor service in a restaurant before but I’ll try. So we were a party of 10 celebrating my mother in law’s 60th. My partner isn’t from Dumfries and Galloway so just told me he’d looked this place up and decided to book it. I hadn’t really heard of it and had initially wanted to go to the Bank but after looking at reviews of Truffles and seeing people speak highly of the food I thought let’s give it a try. I noticed many speaking about how awful the owner was but I thought surely he can’t be that bad if people are still going and people are still leaving good reviews. How wrong I was! Another warning sign I should have noticed was that we initially booked in for the Friday but changed to the Saturday and they were able to accommodate that easily last minute so clearly aren’t busy. We were running 15mins late. I called to let them know and apologise. The waitress who answered the phone was accepting of this and said it was ok. On arriving the owner ‘greeted’ us. I again apologised and he shrugged his shoulders but let us in. We all sat down and he immediately came to ask us if we wanted drinks. We were looking at the drinks menu and discussing what we wanted when he repeated in a slow and aggressive tone DO.YOU.WANT.ANY.DRINKS??! It was extremely awkward. My dad asked about red wine and he used his notepad to lean over my dad and aggressively hit the menu and point to a wine on the list. We ordered drinks which included 2 pints of beer. As he walked away we all felt very uncomfortable and decided we did not want to spend our money in such a venue when the atmosphere was cold and aggressive. We all decided to leave. My partner spoke to the owner letting him know his front of house manner was appalling and that we’d be leaving. He said he didn’t “understand people” and that he expected us to pay for the pints that had been poured. I gave him a £20 note and he aggressively gave it back to me, stating he had no money in the till to give me change and swiftly snatched the pints back and put them behind the bar. We then left and were politely accommodated in the Bank next door (which I would highly recommend). As we left, the waitress apologised on our way out. I actually felt bad leaving her in such a cold and horrible environment. That owner should not be front of house. He is rude. He is right, he doesn’t understand people and has no people skills whatsoever. I would avoid this place like the plague and go next door to the Bank! (The one star is for the waitress who we had to leave behind)"

"**Dine-In Experience Meal Type:** Dinner **Cost per Person:** £100+ **Food Rating:** 4/5 **Service Rating:** 4/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 3/5 Overall, I had a pleasant evening at the restaurant. The food was quite good, earning a solid 4 out of 5. The service was also commendable, matching that score. However, the atmosphere felt a bit lacking, which is why it's rated a 3. While I enjoyed my meal, the ambiance could use some improvement to enhance the overall dining experience."
