Hi Karen
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Wasn't online much yesterday.
The Restaurant menu prices are fixed and you'd be eating your Steak in the "Courtyard". That's the most sought after area to Dine in.
The food is exactly the same quality,items on the menu are individually priced and cheaper for the Steak, at least!! if you were to have "Upstairs Dinner"...not in the Courtyard.
Basically,you'd pay extra for the location!
It is lovely in the Courtyard though,especially for a special occasion.
The Wee Pub is really nice and probably not as studenty as some of the other bars in Ashton Lane.
(My no.1.favourite bar is Bobar at the top of Byres rd,although not what you're looking for, I reckon. It's very contemporary.)
