It had been a while since we last dined at The Terrace Resaurant. They have become better known in recent times and with the online booking facility it is proving increasingly difficult to get a booking at short notice. We however heard through a social media website that the restaurant was going to be presenting a special 'Taste of France' Dinner Tasting Menu one night in early December so we made a point of booking a table for two as soon as reservations were open. We had no difficulty in doing so, possibly because the full price of £30 per head had to be paid when making the booking. It must surely have been encouraging for the students that the restaurant was fully booked that evening. There were 5 courses on the fixed menu and all were extremely good with the possible exception of the main course. We started with Duck and Pork Terrine (excellent), followed by cured Scottish Salmon, then Grilled Goats Cheese (excellent). If there was one course that was a bit below par it was the main course of Roast Turkey with some of the usual trimmings. I found the turkey to be a bit dry and chewy. The dessert that followed, Sugar Glazed Lemon Tart , however hit another high point. It was lovely. The meal was finished with Almond Macarons and tea or coffee. If there was a downside to the meal for us it was probably because of the location of our table as we were invariably the last to be served. When it came to the coffee at the end of the meal we had to wait over 10 minutes to be served, and this was after asking three different servers for our coffees.

Dear Bruce, Thank you so much for the time you took to write this lovely feedback! I'll make sure to share it with the students as they appreciate knowing they have done a good job. At the Terrace we are very happy you had such an enjoyable time and just wish we hadn't let you down with the Turkey as a main course. We have more pop-up evenings coming up soon, next one will be on Friday 24th January when we'll be celebrating an early Burns Supper and then to follow St Valentines Dinner on Friday 14th February. You can find both menus online on our ResDiary website. It'd be great if you could come along to any of them and give us a change to redeem us on all five courses this time! Kindest regards Sara

Went on a Thursday evening, arrived a little early and the staff were having problems getting the door to the Restaurant to open, had a bit of banter with the staff which was fun. Once in, our coats were taken, we were seated promptly & introduced to our waiter. This was our waiters first evening serving Customers & he was so nervous. Had some minor issues; having to repeat orders/requests & a drink was spilt over my daughters lap as the tray carrying the drinks became unbalanced. However we played it down & explained it could happen to anyone, we were really willing our waiter to be a success. The atmosphere was quite nice & the layout of the restaurant was good. The food was excellent & plentiful. Could barely eat the last 2 courses. The only course I didn't really enjoy was the sweet course, but I'm sure it went down well with chocoholics! I enjoyed my first visit & would definitely consider going back. At £20.00 per head, it was very good value for money.

This is a great find where you would least expect it. Thoroughly enjoyed jolly good food in a jovial atmosphere but which was also very professional. My only comment would be that if you are going to provide amuse-bouches, palate cleansers etc you need to reduce the portions. Puddings were too large. Would definitely go again.

My daughter and I visited The Terrace 21/10/21. It was a 6 course tasting menu and it was faultless. From start to finish every course was excellent and the service was 1st class. The young chefs came out after the last order and spoke to every table. They asked for constructive criticism. There was nothing to criticise. My daughter and I have dined in many 1st class restaurants around the world and this food was up there with the best. Congratulations to all involved.

The 6 course taster menu is fantastic value for money and the food is amazing quality beautifully presented. It’s hard to believe the staff are still learning their craft with the quality they produce. If you haven’t booked already give your taste buds a treat, you will definitely want to return again and again…..roll on the 15th.

I have been to the terrace restaurant a few times and always really enjoy the very high quality of service and food. The food is very high quality and the students and staff are very kind and very approachable. I am always excited to try new foods and know the terrace restaurant will make them perfectly!

My wife and I were lucky enough to get a table for the Xmas tasting event on 2nd December. The food was truly excellent and it was obvious how much care and attention to detail the students and tutors had put in assembling the lovely meal. We wish all the students every success in their careers.

We are just back but I felt that I have to let everyone know how wonderful the Valentines Meal was. I have tasted so much tonight that was great., Cheese Fondue, Calamari, three different types of beef, three different types of chocolate and chocolate strawberries!! Wonderful evening, great staff and a ridiculously cheap price compare to other allegedly superior restaurants. Shame on them...... The Terrace is the best restaurant in West Lothian without doubt. Cannot wait until our next visit which will be very soon......, Congratulations to all staff....

After a long period of anticipation....this gem of a restaurant is finally open again. This evening we had a stunning 6 course tasting menu.....the venison course was the star of the show which included an exquisite parsnip and vanilla puree! Unbelievable value for money......
