Fantastic cocktails, I recommend the Sea Legs and the Scottish Gin and Tonic. The staff and new owners are super friendly. The Fish and Chips with the peas and shallots were spot on. They have a Scotch menu that highlights the different regions in Scotland. It's great to have a nice cozy gastropub in the area.

We arrived 20 minutes before the kitchen was closing and were greeted with a smile. The gal said it was fine and we got a cozy booth. We absolutely loved the food the service and especially the atmosphere. I was so hungry i forgot to snap shots of our Fish and Chips and Shepherds Pie and bread pudding. Fantastic!!! But I did take a few pictures. Can’t wait to go back!!

We love The Scottish Arms! We sat in the bar area tonight. Our server, Katie G was doing double duty as bartender and was fabulous! She recommended a couple of drinks for me which were fun- Back in Thyme and Ginger Cherry Blossom. Always love Scotch Egg, Fish & Chips and Peat Smoked Chicken. On Thursdays there is live music on the dining room side which sounded like fun! UPDATE:Came back again! Added more pics. Great bartender/server.

Amazing French onion soup, I haven’t had such deep flavors in a long long while. Their fish and chips was also delicious, light batter and perfectly cooked haddock. Seasoned fries and peas that it came with was delicious too! Shepard’s pie was good but not the flavors I was expecting.

Amazing. Loved the atmosphere and the food. The waiter was present when needed and otherwise scarce. The drinks, wow, honestly the best old fashioned I have ever had. Smooth does not do it justice. The scotch egg was good, not over powering with fennel. My husband loved the Shepard's pie, his mother is British so it is his comfort food. I had the salmon, very good. We will be back.

Enjoyed a great meal in their back courtyard. The drinks were tasty and strong, the shepherd's pie a good combination of meats and veg and the salmon and crab crumble perfectly prepared. We ended the meal with banoffee bread pudding which was a delicious combination of banana, toffee, chocolate and caramel. The server was friendly and engaging and we'll definitely make this restaurant a regular when coming to the Gaslight Theater.

Atmosphere was quaint. There were a couple of gentlemen playing live music when we were there. Food was delicious. The aioli with the fish and chips was a perfect pairing. Scotch egg was a first for me and was good, it was what I expected it to be. Lamb shank was very tender. Drinks were good.

The food was absolutely amazing! This was pur second time coming here for a date night and we will be back many times! I don't think they have any bad food here. We had the Highland Gathering for an appetizer, my boyfriend had the fish and chips, and I had the lamb shank. It was my first time eating lamb and it was delicious! The meat literally fell off the bone it was so tender!
