Food: Food is bland, mundane

The Tartan Room’s offering appears as a bland canvas of missed opportunities. Diners report burnt, tasteless and ultimately disappointing dishes. Freshness seems to be an overlooked factor at this establishment with reports of overripe, dry ingredients and the horror of frozen vegetables. Giving credit where it's due, the portion sizes and value are noted positively, however, the variety remains inconsistent, providing a hit-or-miss dining experience.

  • Okay Taste

    Various reviews describe food as either average, mediocre, or just okay.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu can be hit or miss, suggesting inconsistency in the dining experience.

Vibe: Dusty decor, chilling vibes

The atmosphere of the Tartan Room leaves much to be desired. What some find charmingly retro, others ague is bleak and outdated. The restaurant lacks a contemporary buzz and falls short of being a trendy hotspot. On the brighter side, it compensates somewhat with live music and an extensive selection of drinks.

  • Great To Entertain

    Live music enhances dining experience with great performances and atmosphere.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Some reviews find the ambiance charmingly retro, others consider it too dark.

  • Bad Buzz

    Ambience outdated, not trendy; lacks the buzz of a trendy hotspot.

Perks: Rough handling, minimal comfort

The Tartan Room doesn't score well when it comes to customer service perks. The staff seem reluctant to accommodate reservations and the layout of the restaurant is seen as restrictive for larger parties. Their approach to kid-friendly dining is also rather disappointing with no dedicated children's menu available. The silver lining is the live music that creates an enjoyable atmosphere and the positively mentioned service.

  • Easy To Hear

    Live music creates enjoyable atmosphere and cherished dining experience.

  • Okay Service

    Service ranges from friendly and attentive to slow and disorganized at times.

  • Bad For Groups

    Restaurant layout with booths is uncomfortable for larger parties, not accommodating.
