Gleddoch House Hotel Restaurant in Renfrewshire

Living locally, I decided to visit this restaurant having been badly let down by another restaurant in the area (further down the hill at the coast of the Clyde). Wow what a difference, quality food in a relaxing atmosphere with top notch unobtrusive service. Keep up the good work.

We visited the Resturant tonight and had a great meal. We were greeted by David who showed us to a table with an amazing view. The Cullen Skink soup was a great start to the meal followed by a lovely venison dish. The service from Masha and Georgia was very attentive and friendly. The drinks from David and Nathan were amazing including fresh cocktails. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth the visit!

We are at Vista twice during our recent stay and absolutely loved the experience! I love that they seat couples near the window for a relaxing and romantic setting with the beautiful views from the restaurant. They were very accommodating and staff were friendly. The chicken liver parfait was really nice but could have done with an extra slice of toast/brioche potentially. The sticky toffee pudding with rum & raisin ice-cream is an absolute must!

The restaurant and all their staff on shift were Absolutely brilliant last night . We booked dinner for a family anniversary celebration. We had 2 young kids there who were quite noisy , thankfully we were at a table were there was not as many other diners there . The food was absolutely delish the steaks were cooked to perfection and exactly how we asked for them so a big thankyou to the chef . The views are stunning from the restaurant . Restaurant was spotless . Would return again for a meal . Thankyou vista ❤️

Breakfast was fantastic and great choices available. Room service was awful, didn’t receive my drink or dessert and was impossible to get through to the restaurant to get the issue sorted. Asked for well done steak it was medium rare, and no condiments or salt provided which was a waste.

Had an evening meal and breakfast here.Excellent friendly service but not intrusive. Delicious food and wine, really enjoyable dinner. Great breakfast everything you could want.

Me and my partner are staying here for a night away for my birthday and have been well looked after through the whole stay, all staff are very polite and freindly in the hotel and spa, i would highly recomend the vista for a amazing meal and the barman that was on shift (gary) was exemplary on his service and was well clued up when it came to serving a good dram!

The guy Gary on the bar, was the most genuine helpful guy in this place, nothing was to big or too small to ask of him. I would be back again just to be served by him. This guy knows his stuff and definitely deserves a promotion. Thanks once again Gary! 🙌🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ate here Fri and Saturday lunch and evening meal all the food was cooked to perfectionWe had vegetarian and gluten free in our party and all were catered for. The different varieties of soup were amazing and tasty

This was my first time at this venue and decided to take some friends for dinner and was not disappointed. The staff are very friendly and the food very good. I would love to have been their in the summer to see the amazing views across the river, so definitely will be going back in the summer months.

We had a 2 Course Dinner on a busy Friday night. Service was fantastic, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. Our food was very good and well presented. The restaurant had a vibrant atmosphere and we would absolutely recommend booking The Vista restaurant.

Although a booking was taken for lunch in the vista restaurant there were no tables set, we were directed to the bar. We had no option but to stay as this was planned as a reunion lunch in relatively short time window. The food was poor quality. Service polite. But this was not at all as advertised on the website. Beware and avoid!

We booked over the phone for a family lunch in Vista for 8 people. Checked menu online as three of us are vegetarians it looked great. On arrival we’re told we were in the bar not in vista. The table wasn’t ready so they had to start pushing tables together. Clearly our booking had been lost/forgotten. When we asked why we couldn’t sit in vista restaurant, which wasn’t busy, they said it’s only for special occasions. But the person on the phone said we were in Vista! Didn’t kick up a fuss as we were with family we hadn’t seen for ages and just wanted to get on with our meal. They had no menus just a tablet which we had to order and pay on. I assume because of covid? Or maybe they can save costs with less staff? Whatever the reason it doesn’t work. Only one person can look at it at a time. With 8 of us us it took ages! Also our 80+ year old parents struggle with technology so we had to read out the entire menu to them. To make matters worse the information on the tablet menu was limited or wrong. Eg ‘smoked salmon and chips’. We *think* this might have been a sandwich? It didn’t say it was a sandwich. No one wanted to risk it. (Also the menu was totally different to the one online, much more limited, which was annoying.) Not all drinks were on the menu either. Eg…lemonade was only listed as a ‘dash of lemonade’. We couldn’t order a glass of lemonade. Or water. It was just a handful of drinks on the online menu. It was taking ages and we were starving so we ended up just ordering whatever drinks were on there - not necessarily what we wanted. It would have been so much easer to order through a waiter/waitress! The waiting staff were nice but so poorly trained. We had to ask them for everything that should have been obvious to them. Drinks came and some were missing. No cutlery was given. No condiments. Didn’t clear the dirty plates for ages. I was out of my seat so many times trying to find staff to ask for basic things or just find the things myself. We ate here a couple of years ago and on that occasion our large booking (for 20 plus people for a special birthday) also got lost. I’d booked over the phone. But when I rang to confirm a few weeks before they had no record of it. Luckily they sorted it. I thought it was a one off error but now I’ve been back and had such a poor experience I think there is a management issue and we definitely won’t be back. The food was nice - that’s all I can say that’s positive.

Reduced menu, rubbish for coeliacs. Preferential treatment to larger parties for example salt and pepper mills on a large table of 12, we were a table of 2 and when we requested salt and pepper we got thrown a few little packets onto our table!

Although booked in for breakfast for three days, we only went once as standards of food was poor. Plates were so small that if you put a sausage, egg and one slice of bacon on it it overflowed. You were not expected to each much, which maybe was a bonus. Food cold, tea/ coffee weak and poor, staff didn't assist when requested, you had to fend for yourself. As for evening meal, this too was terrible. Poor staffing, menu was a case of "take it or leave it" as very poor choices. The kids had a better choice of meals. Again, everything was overcharged and not worth the money. Be aware if you are brave to enter.

It is a beautiful hotel someone has made a real effort tn j89o make this hotel look and feel luxurious. The hotel fell short at the beginning at check in n there was a major queue with people organising meal and spa bookings but this done for everyone watching people in front take up all the available spa times meant that we could not get one on day of arri Al. Same for checking out too long to wait. They have one person on reception so forget trying to call through either. The dinner is rushed staff rushing it was not relaxing, food combinations were odd like pig check with whipped cream it was not great and a chase board with 1 large portion of one type of Stilton and a very small sweet bun. Drinks were over priced £3 for weather did not realise and had a few. But kids meals were great and free.

Returned to Gleddoch and the Vista after a wonderful experience only a year ago. Sadly everything has changed, the staff, the menu, the service, the food quality. The menu looked promising, various french sounding dishes. Don't be fooled, this is cheap food cobbled together and...

Returned to the hotel again this week and dined in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Both meals absolutely delicious, staff very friendly and attentive and service was quick and efficient. Perfect dining experience.

Stayed at gleddoch through the week and booked dinner, bed and breakfast. Dinner was in vista and was lovely. I had salmon to start that was delicious and my partner had terrine. We both had chicken. Portions aren’t too large but we had 3 courses...

My wife and I felt that we enjoyed our 2 nights stay, and it was good value for money. The spa was beautiful, views were incredible and the restaurant and food were pretty decent. Staff were also very professional and alert regarding PPE and protocol...

Ate dinner and breakfast here while staying overnight. Dinner was lovely. Excellent choices, beautifully cooked and presented. Staff well trained, friendly and welcoming. The breakfast menu is extensive and delicious.

Tried the Vista on our first nights stay at Gleddoch Hotel, really pleasantly surprised at the interesting menu. So enjoyable we at there for 3 sucessive nights! The fish dishes and lamb choices were excellent and very tasty.

Been here a few times and the staff have always been so friendly and helpful. The menus haven't always been the same and sometimes haven't had the best vegetarian or vegan options but the staff always try work something out for you!

lovely food served , buffet breakfast with plenty to choose from. views over the golf course in morning .

Visited here Monday night, the views are amazing, the service at both dinner and breakfast were impeccable, Sharon our server at dinner treated us very well, we had a 3 course meal and couldn’t fault anything

We stayed here last weekend with family and were truly impressed by dinner in the VISTA restaurant. We opted for the market menu as the morning of the travel we got an email about a black Friday deal. we all had the duck as starter,...

Ate a few times in VISTA. The set lunch menus etc via the spa are lovely and the vegetarian options have improved over the years. The menu could still do with some more options but the food they do have is nice enough!

Myself and my wife dined in the Vista restaurant the last two days and can’t wait to return. Great friendly service and the quality of the food is amazing.

Stayed one night on our way to Colintraive, dinner was average really, room was fine, all a bit dated, breakfast was ok. Service slow, especially as we first arrived nobody to show us to our table

Very helpful staff. great food and wonderful view of the grounds from Restaurant. Would recommend and visit again.

Had evening light meal and breakfast here, very nice. Staff lovely and attentive, food very good. The view across the ground breathtaking all the way down to the river Clyde, across to Dunbarton and along towards the Erskine bridge and paisley. There is also an...

Four of us went to Vista for lunch based upon what we saw and read on the hotel website. The A la Carte menu was nothing like the one on the website, very limited choice of mediocre food, 4oz hamburger, fish & chips etc, not the sea bass, belly pork and other interesting options on the website menu.. I ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc but the waiter returned ten minutes later to say they didn’t have any. Starter of potted hot smoked salmon was inaccurate since it was regular smoked salmon. The bread roll accompanying the dish was old dried out and hard.Overall this was a very disappointing experience in a dining room which lacked any atmosphere. Don’t believe the tablecloth and linen napkin pictures of the website, here you get Formica topped tables and paper napkins.I have eaten at this hotel many years ago when it was very good. Sadly it’s best days are behind it.

I reviewed this restaurant as part of the stay at the Gleddoch.

Both lunch and dinner were great. Service was good and staff were very friendly and helpful. The relaxed atmosphere definitely added to our enjoyable stay.

Partner and I decided to come on a couples getaway for a night after recently becoming parents.

Stayed here over a few nights and have had the best sea bass, halibut and salmon I have ever had! Fantastic location by the window overlooking the bay and Glasgow in this very tranquil spot. Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble - ideal for a treat or special location from the A La Carte or great value from the 2 or 3 course menu. Very popular also for a cream/high tea.

My girlfriend and I were staying over in the hotel on dinner bed and breakfast and we really enjoyed our meal.

Had dinner and breakfast in hotel Vista restaurant - great service, plenty of choice; Ryan attended to our needs with great enthusiasm and skill and rest of staff very presentable.

My husband and I have just enjoyed our first dinning experience at the VISTA restaurant at Gleddoch hotel. We cannot rave about the service more, we were graced with a young man called Farooq as a server, who could not have been any nicer.

While staying at the Gleddoch Hotel for a few days we ate in the Vista restaurant. The Sharon & the staff made our experience as they were extremely friendly nothing was a bother. Yan has a funny sence of humour and was excellent with us. We had the Cullen Skink for lunch fabulous with lots of fish. 3 course Market menu the first night and a la cart the next and all of the food was lovely, breakfast both mornings delicious lots of variety and great choice of both hot & cold dishes on offer, with hot extras made to order. Would recommend

Spent a night at the hotel and stayed for evening meal which was lovely. Presentation was first class and staff were very nice. Also had breakfast in morning which was amazing as were the staff yet again. Cant wait to return

Go with the market menu. We went with a la carte. Food very over priced for quality and value. Had the hot smoked salmon to start at £7 a tiny portion and I would have said more poached salmon. The main was monk fish. Portion 3 small pieces and sides with dish were very inedible cold and not palatable. Not the best food. Also no port and no whiskey despite being an option on menu and with a whiskey bar at the hotel! But good news if you're on diet!

Ate breakfast on two mornings during a stay while attending a wedding in nearby hotel. Breakfast buffet had "run out" of some items -those that remained had clearly been there for some time. Staff were completely disorganised no-one seemed to be coordinating

Had a lovely afternoon tea here with my friend. Very filling with a good variety of things on it - homemade sausage rolls, scones, cakes and sandwiches. Only slight criticism would be is that the restaurant isn’t very well sign posted so we were a little late getting there by the time we went to the main reception then back in the car again to drive further up to the restaurant.

Meal lovely and good service Carpets poor in restaurant which was big negative otherwise service and food good .lacking atmosphere in restaurant

Had lovely meal here with family, food, service and staff first class. Would recommend to family and friends and wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

This is a fab place. The two guys that run breakfast are really kind. The food is nice. Get breakfast here.

Great food and service on Sunday night. Good size portions at a decent cost. It would be good to have floodlights onto the gardens so at nighttime there is more to look out too. Keep up the good work

Such a great meal tonight, brilliant food with great service, loved every minute! Can't wait to go back1

When we went to the vista restaurant for dinner we were welcomed by friendly staff we then were seated and given two menus and a wine list they all had a lot of delicious choices, my fiancé and I had chicken liver parfait to start which was delicious although a little more chutney and an additional oatcakes would have been amazing. Then my fiancé had seabass with mash potatoes, vegetables and a citrus foam he thoroughly enjoyed it. I choose the Ayrshire chicken breast with dauphinois potatoes, mushrooms and glazed root vegetables it was delicious my only criticism would be there wasn’t enough of the gravy. We chose I delicous bottle of Sauvignon Blanc called Faultline with the help of our amazing waitress Heather. We then tried the hazelnut chocolate brownie with ice cream and the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. So all I can say now is if you haven’t tried this restaurant I would because it was lovely I can’t wait to go back.

Room great spa great service in restaurant poor offered water had to. ask 4x for it food good waiting at least 30 minutes for mains to be cleared after having to ask for them to be cleared dessert served cold should have been hot did speak to guest relations manager we will wait for the outcome of that

My family and I had a lovely time at the Gleddoch. There was 6 adults and 1 infant.

Vista is a lovely restaurant situated in the Gleddoch Hotel. We enjoyed evening meal there good was lovely and extensive wine list, with beautiful views.

Wonderful food with plenty of choices and all beautifully presented, served by smiling, pleasant, friendly staff. Service was occasionally a bit slow, especially when clearing away plates; we also didn't get bread with our meal apart from the first evening where the roll was actually stale. But that was a very minor point and didn't detract from our enjoyment of the meal itself.

Great dining experience at the Vista restaurant recently. The food was delicious and the staff were were attentive. The kitchen kindly sent out a birthday plate for my Dad after our meal which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend the Vista restaurant.

We were given an amuse Bouche of Camembert and truffle sauce, delicious x followed by chicken liver pate for me delicious and carrot soup for my mate. We both had sea bass which was divine, chive mash and lovely broccoli stems x I had crime bruille which was lovely just perfect and retired to the lounge with our glasses of merlot and tea and coffee full to the brim. This was the market menu included in our 5pm deal and was amazing. My mate was on the pink gin and lemonade amazing x

Very limited menu. Food disctinctly average. Breakfast extremely expensive at £15.95. Basically a golf club with partitioning. Would never attach this restaurant to a 4* hotel

Absolutely beautiful food and lovely staff 10/10 from me. I had Sea Bass and my wife had the chicken. Beautiful meals what more can I say.

Personnel incapable de servir boisson et plat en même temps. Entrée froide, il a fallut insister pour avoir le plat principal chaud. Pas de pain avec le repas.Assiettes mal nettoyées trce de nourriture.

Amazing! Great view, wonderful service and the most delicious meals. I would recommend the lamb and the Ayrshire ham.

Excellent service, lovely atmosphere and well presented courses. In particular, my husband asked for a medium sirloin which he said was done to perfection. My two children enjoyed favourites from the children’s menu and were made to feel extremely welcome on a busy Saturday evening. Our experience did not disappoint and I would highly recommend. Views from the Vista Restaurant are outstanding. A most enjoyable evening and we will look forward to coming back.

we had a 2 night stay and ate in the vista on both nights. there was a great choice on the menu. on both nights the meal that we chose were very well presented & tasted amazing we enjoyed all 3 courses on both nights, we would like to thank the chef that made this experience so enjoyable. we will definitely be back

On arrival we were disappointed not to be having our tea in the Hotel. The Vista restaurant was up the hill and rather shabby, having brown Formica tables and a dirty carpet. It was saved by the view of the golf course.

Fantastic food Very polite staff.. totally up to speed with the menus and great fun to chat to . They have a sheff from Galway that knows how it should be done Extensive wine list

Das Vista bietet eine recht überschaubare Karte, die sich ambitioniert liest und in einer entsprechenden Preiskategorie agiert. Leider hinkt die Umsetzung handwerklich diesen Ambitionen weit hinterher. Garpunkte, das Fingerspitzengefühl für Gewürze und eingesetzte Warenqualität lassen stark zu wünschen übrig. Das Hirsch-Carpaccio wurde komplett in sehr synthetisch schmeckendem Trüffelöl ertränkt, eine Kürbissuppe war eher sehr defensiv abgeschmeckt. Das Brot zu Begleitung der Vorspeisen war schon vor Stunden aufgeschnitten worden und war schon fast zu Zwiebackhärte durchgetrocknet. Ein Sirloin Steak für über 20 GBP war sowohl vom Cut als auch von der Fleischqualität einfach nur traurig. Selbst Fish and Chips waren von der Zubereitung äußerst mittelmässig. Knusprigkeit der Bierteigpanade und der Chips suchte man vergebens.

The staff were friendly if patchy. The food was cold in parts although they were very good in replacing it. Very slow as the evening went on and orders from others around us not taken for ages. Wouldnt go back.

Abbiamo cenato con un antipasto e un secondo mio marito con una cane ottima e delle patate bollite di buona qualità io con un pesce che sembrava vecchio e di nessun gusto quando ho chiesto il dessert dopo un bel po che non arrivava mi è stato chiesto di cambiarlo perché non l avevano .....!!! Che disastro ! E poi alle 930 di sera essendo rimasti gli ultimi c’era una frenesia nei camerieri che dovevano sbaraccare e preparare per le colazioni molto indisponente .....

Food was just fantastic. Quite fancy with great prices (i had the hare) brilliant service from Sharon, recommend!

Lovely cooked breakfast as part of our stay. Eggs done just how I asked and staff were very attentive.

The menu looks and sounds amazing - but it's well beyond its station. The food is very well presented - but the flavours and impact are just not there. Being in the South West of Scotland - there is an abundance of local produce on offer - but Vista restaurant doesn't capture any of this. Its over priced and over rated. We had two glasses of house white wine and were charged £27.90 for Sauvignon! Vista has no fine dining feel - as it looks on to a bar area where you can see sofas and a pool table.

went for dinner with my daughter using a 5pm dinner voucher for 2 which was 2 courses with wine .it was very good valve for money.the setting is lovely over looking the golf course.we had starters and a main dish.couldnt fault the food had pate and soup for starters. the wine was ok.good table service .the staff were lovely very friendly and attentive .we had cocktails after dinner made by ryan best French martini ever

Ci abbiamo cenato in quanto abbiamo dormito nell’hotel di passaggio per Glasgow: abbiamo optato per il menù “turistico” (io e mia moglie) scegliendo un antipasto ed un secondo e due “menù bambini”, uno dei miei figli ha scelto “spaghetti bolognese” che poi erano linguine al ragù buonissime, i nostri due piatti a base di pesce anche e molto ricercati nell’impiattamento, prezzi in linea con lo standard locale, uno dei posti migliori, se non il migliore, dove abbiamo cenato nella nostra vacanza scozzese.

We had evening meal and breakfast in the vista restaurant and can't fault the food... Hot, tasty and enough choice to suit all. Staff were really pleasant and helpful. Will be back.

Food was lovely, and staff were great. Would recommend, we stayed overnight, so this added to our relaxing break.

We had dinner here on Saturday night and were very impressed by the whole experience. The views from the restaurant were beautiful, the food was great, they had a live pianist, great service, it can be a little bit pricey but well worth it - will definitely go back.

High standard, freshly cooked buffet style. The plates were a bit small. Loved the haggis and potato cakes. Plenty of choice of cereals, fruit juices and coffee. Great views and very comfortable.

I've worked in hospitality for years, Paris, Athens, Lisbon, Marrakech, and as a real 'Foodie' appreciate refined service and excellent food. Both were delivered here tonight. Head waiter deserves a special mention. Thank you for a superlative Father's Day dinner.

Qualitativ gutes Essen, eingeschränkte Getränkeauswahl. Fußboden und Panoramafenster unfassbar schmutzig!!!!

First visit,and enjoyed it,meal great only spoiled by potatoes luke warm,which we said to waiter who apologised and offered us 2 complimentary coffees.staff super friendly,cant wait to visit again

portions were not great but food was nice, I do think a few extra choices would be good and the bar menu food should certainly have more choice, we are golfers we need big portions

What a pile of rubbish, this place is tasteless & miserable.

We booked a table as we were staying at the hotel . We decided after entering the restaurant that we wouldn’t be dining there . Weird room with no atmosphere and definitely not a restaurant .

We hosted our wedding reception here 22 years ago and were bought one night dbb as a walk down memory lane. Wish we got lost!! Hotel itself ok however forget a good sleep if there’s a wedding on. People stomping past room and noise from reception. Let’s move on to dinner (or lack of it). Booked table for 8.30 told “it’s really busy doesn’t matter if booked or not people walking in off street given preference to tables because we can’t turn them away “. Eventually seated approx 9pm. Given menus and orders taken 20 min later. We ordered

The food was nice although could've probably cooked to the same standard myself.. considering the prices would match that of a top class restaurant - £63 for soup and risotto.. the staff are pleasant and helpful & the house red was good also.

I booked a Spa day with Sandwich lunch for a treat for my sister and myself through a 5pm deal

Room service is provided by the Vista restraunt. Beautifully presented and great food to boot. Service was prompt. If the room service menu was this good I would love to experience the restraunt menu in full.

Totally impressed with food we had will use again definitely in the surrounding area was made awesome

Very poor quality, and terrible serivice. Didn't have our booking. Tried to take mum for her birthday. Ive had better at super market cafe's. Wont return.

what a fabulous stay we had got a free upgrade to a 4 poster room as our room wasn't ready,...

Good choice on menu “The food could be a bit fancy for some in its presentation rather than qty” It’s...

Excellent food. Fabulous service, excellent menu. Great vegetarian option. Amazing view. Helpful and friendly staff. Georgous decor. Reasonable prices.

I had four meals 2 breakfast and to evening meals , 2 breakfast and 1 evening meal was cold the...

We enjoyed a very good meal on the evening prior to our family wedding celebration.

Ate dinner here one night of our 2 night stay. Food was nice. Staff were all very friendly & couldn't do enough for you.

I ate here for lunch during my stay and had room service for each meal the rest of the time. The food is out of this world and I would certainly recommend it. Views from the restaurant are stunning too. Service is great.

Dined here on a recent stay, we were seated at the window beside a table of 6 females whom clearly had a few glasses of wine , very loud and vile language, we asked to be moved tables which the waiter did, however it never really helped throughout our meal as all you could hear was swearing, other tables were clearly uncomfortable with this too, there was a awkward feeling in the room. Having said to the whom I believe was the restaurant manager I would have expected him to approach the table & ask them to lower their voices but he never did which I thought was very poor. So as a result our evening meal was not good & reflected on our overall opinion of our stay, to which we shall not do again. Which is a shame because the room was lovely.

Friendly staff and lovely food, lovely views from the windows in the restaurant, reasonable wait times between courses.

This restaurant is situated near the Spar area and , for some, provides views across the golf course. Although the staff are keen to look after the customer they seem to lack training in some basic skills and on occasions, lack coordinated direction. Lack of attention to detail is apparent.

staff very nice, meal was beautiful and a lovely relaxed atmosphere can't wait to return great portion sizes couldn't fault it

On entry to the dining room it definitely lacked at atmosphere as there was no music playing - also the experience would also be enhanced by nice little white tablecloths as would definitely fit in with decor and give it a more "cozy" feel. The staff were very attentive however we did have a long wait for both the starter and maincourse which although nice enough were small in portion size and rather expensive. Breakfast was fine but would not have dinner here again due to long wait and lack of atmosphere. Also not keen on menu choices.
