   Have been to the sugar boat a couple of times and always enjoyed the homemade feel and authenticity of the food. The staff were very friendly and the food this time was generally really good. I was just a bit disappointed with the homemade burger, it was very dence, dry and seemed over cooked, seemed to have no moisture in it at all, could be the fat to meat content in the mince used, if it’s homemade could you offer to cook it slightly under, so much so I only ate a bit of it! I had the scollops from the specials menu as a starter these were very tasty, and my friend also had humounus and sourdough which he enjoyed a lot and he went on to have fish and chips which he thought was very good. Will not put me of going again, but would put me off having the burger again!

   Short menu but some lovely choices. Good wine options but would have been great to have a cocktail menu. Have stayed/eaten here before a number of times and would really recommend the venue. Do wish the lighting was better over some tables as rather gloomy in certain areas. Pools of light to ensure a warm ambience and being able to easily read menus would be so helpful. Will definitely return. Service was very good with a most polite and efficient server.

   As always service and food very good. Just disappointed with cleanliness of both bathrooms, restaurant floor and seats. Having visited the sugar boat on many occasions I was very surprised by lack of cleanliness as this never been en issue before!

   Sugar Boat was absolutely amazing. We were a table of 9 for Sunday Lunch and it was totally perfect from start to finish.

   Sugarboat is a great restaurant, good food, good service but today they were off their game. Appeared to be short staffed and 3 of their brunch items weren’t available - no kedgeree, no smoked salmon or sausages, this seemed to have unsettled the waiting staff. As we had chosen to go to Sugarboat today because their kedgeree us so good , so a bit disappointed.

    The Cullen skink was outstandingly bland, two people in our party of 5 ordered it and it was quite disappointing, the smoked fish flavour wasn’t there and it just tasted like cream, however the garlic bread served alongside it was exceptionally good and well seasoned. The beef burgers were quite overdone in our opinion, again two people in our party had them and both of them were unfortunately overcooked. Not once were we asked how our food was which was quite disappointing. The shop looked very nice but not everything had a price tag which made us quite disinterested. Overall, our experience dinning there was quite poor.
