Little gem in east kilbride. Top quality food. Would visit again.

Once upon a table is a small and intimate restaurant in East kilbride village. It's serves well made comfort food. For starters I had smoked haddock and black pudding crochet which was very flavoursome. 8.5/10 For main was fillet steak with potatoes and veg which was cooked to perfection and had a lovely chargrill on it. 9/10 Desert was raspberry ripple cheese cake with white chocolate chip ice cream. 8.5/10. Overall I would recommend once upon a table and give it a solid 8.5/10.

Popped in for some lunch on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Service was quick and friendly, food was lovely and for a good price. Would happily come back to try more options from the menu.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Service was impeccable and the food was absolutely spectacular. The staff went above and beyond for me due to dietary requirements. The chef's are absolutely top notch and created beautiful food for us. Can honestly say I have not experienced anything as good as this place in a long time. Best restaurant in East Kilbride by far! Proper wee hidden gem. We have found our new favourite place 3

Wonderful, 5 star restaurant - What more could you say? The staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, music not too loud and busy for a mid-week night. The food was fabulous, stylishly presented and full of flavour. ‘Amuse Bouche’ canapé nibbles were a delightful surprise to tickle the tastebuds! We all chose from the set menu at 23 for 2 courses, only a bit extra for the third desert course - a really good price point. The Chicken Tempura starter was warmly spiced with a fresh crunchy chopped side salad and the Loch Fyne Mussels were perfectly cooked, with sourdough garlic bread to dip in the wine sauce. For mains our party of three chose the Beef Duo, Lamb Rump & Fish & Chips - all were fantastic! Deserts were also delicious. A really great experience at very good value from their set menu - we’ll definitely return, again and again! Whether you’re looking for an intimate dinner for two, or a friends and family event , I can only recommend that this restaurant - just wonderful.

Lovely restaurant which we had heard good things about, it was definitely worth the visit. Good choice of dishes, prepared and served without overdue waiting and it looked and tasted lovely. Staff were helpful and all round great visit. Definitely will be there again. Highly recommended

Delightful little restaurant... comfortable and intimate. Great choice from the menu. I had seafood for both courses which was hot fresh and delicious, the mussels were from the main menu and the hake and scallops were from the specials board (recommended by the waiter..good choice!) for dessert I had the quirky edible book...it wasnt a good read but it tasted great! The restaurant was full which is always a good sign! Nice lighting and music complemented the polite and attentive service from the two servers at the front for whom nothing was too much trouble. Nice chat with the owner too who had time despite it being the end of the night! I would recommend this place to any one for all the reasons above and will seek it out again when I come back to East Kilbride! Thanks to all at Once upon a Table!
