Of course, no night of Scottish culture would be complete without bagpipes. Guests had a chance to take in the native music, along with photographs with the performers.
Featured on the menu was the Mantra’s version of haggis, a dressed-up version of a common countryside meal of leftovers cooked in a goat’s stomach. Naturally, it was served with genuine Scottish whiskey.
Other menu items include roast beet with malt whiskey sauce, “neeps & tatties,” Scottish cheeses, dried fruit, shortbread and coffee.
Mantra is open daily from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. and offers a Sunday brunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
