   A simply stunning tasting menu from the team at 1610. Up there with the very best I've eaten. I've frequented some great restaurants over the years even up to 3 star Michelin standard, and this place is up there with the best of them. Each course of the tasting menu was beautifully prepared, presented and very well balanced.The flavours were delicious. The staff are efficient and very friendly and engaging. The restaurant itself is atmospheric and has a beautiful old world charm, which is in line with its close and historical links to Robert Burns. The only thing I would change is music. Both times I have been in, it's been piano music on loop which I feel doesn't fit the surroundings. I would suggest some modern Scottish songs or even contemporary Burns songs ie Eddie Reader singing Burns

   Dear Tom, Thank you for your stunning OpenTable review and high ratings! We're thrilled you found our tasting menu "up there with the very best," even compared to Michelin stars. Your praise for the food, our friendly staff, and the atmospheric charm means a lot. We really appreciate your feedback on the music (modern Scottish/Burns like Eddi Reader) and will certainly take it into consideration as we aim to enhance the experience. We hope to welcome you back to 1610 soon!

   Brilliant to be able to enjoy a beautiful meal in the Globe. However Burns’ room was locked so not able to see inside despite that being the main reason why we wanted to go there. Discovered the next day that they are breaking rules set out by the trust that owns the building by doing so. Poor given the importance of the Globe and draw for visitors to the town. Will head back at some point just to see inside Burns’ room - only disappointing element of a lovely meal.

   The food , service and ambience were excellent as always. Excellent lunch menu beautifully presented and fully explained by the first class waiting staff. Only thing that was a n issue was that the seats are extremely uncomfortable and should be replaced.
