    Balmoral is our go to for special occasions. We go every Christmas season with Mr sons and spouses. The beverage menu is extensive and as big as the dinner menu. We usually get a select flight scotch. The Haggis (yes you should try it) and scotch eggs were outstanding, as were our main courses. Sara our server was excellent with just the right timing for food drink and water refills. The traditional bag pipe at the entrance welcomed you and depending on dining time, may bid you good bye. A high end memorable experience.

    There were 6 of us dining on a busy Christmas Day for dinner. The place was very busy but our server James did an excellent job taking care of us. Out cocktails came out quickly and the food was delicious. We all had a great time and I look forward to dining at Mia Moto again soon.
