This review is taken from the 2010 edition.
This bustling little restaurant is tucked into a row of shops in Giffnock, a mere ten minutes from the City Centre by train and two minutes' walk from the station. Decor is warm and elegant, with cream walls, wooden panels and mirrored borders. A seasonal menu makes the most of fresh Scottish produce and delivers an array of colourful dishes with an international flavour. A starter of warm brie onion tartlet has a light and flaky pastry filled with creamy Scottish Howgate cheese and topped with a sweet caramelised onion confit – a delicate mix of tricky textures expertly handled. From the mains a fluffy monkfish rolled in Parma ham is baked and served with rich shellfish bisque on a mound of velvety mash. Sweet-lovers should leave room for the grand dessert, which at £9.95 is a great-value sharing platter offering a selection of many of the menu's puddings such as fruity crème brulee, warm chocolate fondant and sticky toffee pudding. With its chatty, professional staff and a serviceable wine list, Dine is working hard to keep the standards high.
- High point: Great service and ambience
- Low point: Seasoning check: some dishes lack oomph
