This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

In Glasgow’s five-star Blythswood Square hotel, black and red lampshades dominate the cocktail lounge and restaurant – a light-hearted reference to the district’s former ‘red light’ reputation. On the menu, whole seabass, full spatchcock chicken and a variety of steaks are among the selection of French-style cooking of good quality Scottish ingredients. Seared foie gras is buttery and soft, offset by robust black pudding and a sweet prune taste that pulls the dish together. The pedigree of the T-bone steak, reared on one of the Buccleuch Estates, is evident from the almost gamey flavour of the beef – and it’s balanced well with a sweet and sharp red wine jus. The food is good but it may be the cocktails that make the night memorable. Or, possibly, difficult to recall.
