The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
What the Cabin lacks in location (a rather uninspiring spot on the Whiteinch-end of Dumbarton Road) it makes up for in quality cooking and bags of character. The outside is decorated with sophisticated art deco-style lettering, but inside it is refreshingly unpretentious and snug. First opened in 1890, the restaurant is now run by James Haldane who greets customers with smiling, friendly banter. The menu is carefully considered and constructed – a typical selection of starters includes Thai meatballs with noodles and mango oyster sauce dressing, or king prawn and salmon fishcakes with salad and sweet chilli sauce and garlic mayonnaise, which are gone all too quick. For a main, the breast of guinea fowl with black pudding and cider and apple cream sauce is deftly prepared, and there is a changing seafood and vegetarian dish of the day. Head over here for the ‘Saturday Night Live’ offer – a choice of three-course meal from the à la carte, priced £30, and then live musical entertainment to enjoy.

Was here in December for lunch with work friends. Took an hour for them to take our order, place was busy but only one person waiting. Got drinks order wrong and it went downhill from there. Food poorly cooked and overpriced for what was. Found the interior oppressive and staff surly and rude when asked questions. Will stay nearer the west end next time.

had dinner at the cabin recently and was sorely disappointed the food was ok but was cold when served.The host never came near the whole night we were ot asked if the meal was ok the waitress was the most surly person ever, the entertainment was supposed to start at 9 it didn,t start until 10 and people were already leaving. The cabin is now just another very average place to eat and is very overpriced for what you get which is a shame as in this day and age there are so many good restaurants in glasgow which could serve food every bit as good but cheaper.Think wilma was the novelty there, now i would avoid it and go elsewhere.
