Harden's survey result
Summary
“If you are not planning a return to the office, the largest selection of whisky ever seen” helps round off a business lunch at this Canary Wharf branch of Ranald Macdonald’s Caledonian group. “The restaurant prides itself on good Scottish ingredients… shellfish in season… excellent fillet steak” and “tables are sufficiently spaced for private conversation”. Top Tip – “regular visitors may join a club which gives discounts on wines and they host musical events in the evenings”.
Summary
“If you want a reliable weekend meal and some, mmmm, smooth funktastic jazz”, this Canary Wharf member of Ranald Macdonald’s Caledonian-themed group often comes recommended thanks to its “great live music entertainment”, “good-value set menus” and “decent roasts”. During the week, its menu of oysters, Scottish beef and other fairly traditional fare is nominated for an “excellent business lunch”.
Summary
“An evening out – in style” is oft-reported at the Docklands branch of Ranald Macdonald’s Belgravia haunt, dedicated to the high life with a Scottish twist – with whisky, cigars and nightly jazz and soul courtesy on occasion of house music patron Jools Holland. It also proved itself an “absolute stalwart as the go-to place for those still going to the office through lockdown”. Top Tip: “the haggis pizza is a must!”.

Boisdale of Canary Wharf Restaurant Diner Reviews
"This is a venue that is both a music destination as well as a restaurant. Unlike its competitors, where the food experience is not the focus , such as Ronnie Scott and 606 and although acceptable, would be unlikely to disturb this type of survey, Boisdale is aiming higher. With a focus on Scottish, it was unquestionably a positive experience, although our group had gone for the singer. Excellent mains and starters - haggis and Cullen Skink for those lovers of Scottish products, the wine list starts high with significant mark ups for old favourites that might be budget choices elsewhere. Service is impeccable although it was difficult to identify a single main server. The space is not the best for music, although the singing gig was excellent. Management should learn to quieten down 'city boys' who want to chat loudly through the performance."
