While the place is beloved of locals and with a small army of loyal followers from across the city, arriving at the Sisters in Jordanhill does feel as if you have made a discovery all of your own. Tucked behind a row of shops away from the busy Crow Road the space has a laid-back and cosy feel. Friendly and attentive staff put you at ease giving the dining experience a sense of occasion without veering into the prissy or pretentious - diners are greeted with a smile and a serving of home-made soda scones still warm from the oven. To begin, a haddock and broccoli gratin has topping of crunchy crumbs that give way to reveal decent chunks of fish enveloped in a thick creamy sauce. A generous and tender slice of limerick ham is served simply with well-buttered 'champ tatties' and shredded savoy cabbage, providing a comforting and hearty main. Those not already sated by the generous portions can indulge in a chewy home-made meringue with honeycomb ice-cream and puff candy for a sweet treat.

Saw that previous entry from 2008 about the size of the pre-theatre portions. Glad I hadn't read it before or it would have put me off.
Having gone to The Sisters J-Hill for a pre-theatre last Friday I can report that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the portion sizes. I was stuffed by the end of my pre-theatre and the portions were actually bigger than the standard portions you get at places like Tattie Mac's.
I went for smoked haddock and broccoli gratin to start, a chicken and haggis main and a pear crumble for dessert. Very well presented and absolutely delicious. Lovely choice of wine by the glass to accompany too and the staff were very, very friendly.
Looking forward to going back.

Just had the pre-theatre. The menu at the restaurant was much reduced to the one shown online. The portions were tiny and the food was bland. Seriously, I have had better school dinners. I have had several great pre-theatres in Glasgow (Malmaison,Gamba,Brian Maule to name the last 3). I would be embarrassed to take anybody here.
