Knocked a star off as it was so damned cold in there (the AC levels would please very menopausal women with hot flushes as they'd be nigh-on impossible!). But the food was delicious and service excellent. Will definitely return.

I took my mother for lunch today and arrived at 2.00.The young lady behind the counter handed me 2 menus as we walked in and said she would be over to our table in a few minutes to take our order. There was only one other member of staff behind the counter with her and within a few minutes, both staff members had “disappeared”. There were only 2 other tables occupied and they were already eating, so it was just us waiting to be served. We waited 25 minutes, nobody came anywhere near us, so we left. I definitely won’t be returning……ever.

With there only being 2 other tables in use when we arrived, and as they were all eating, I presumed that we would be served quickly. There were only 2 members of staff behind the counter and we were told that it was table service only. After being given menus, the 2 staff members “disappeared”. About 10 minutes after we arrived, 3 women came in and ordered a takeaway and their order was taken straight away and we were still waiting to be served. We waited a further 15 minutes, 25 minutes in total, then walked out without having anyone take an order from us. We definitely won’t be going back………ever!!!

This cafe is on the top floor of the Outlets (old car factory) in Alexandria a couple of miles from Loch Lomond, It,s big spacious clean,and very very COLD, we were there in late March and the friend we were with said they were starting to suffer from cramps in her legs as she was so cold, the standard of the food was acceptable, although the service could have been a little quicker ,I appreciate that the heating may be controlled by the owners of the complex ,but surely the people who run the cafe must realise that things like this will in the long run effect the experience of customers ,try it if you want ,just watch you do not stand on the Polar Bear under your table !

We popped in to Lagavulin for a bite to eat at the weekend. We opted for Scampi and Chips, and a Chilli Baked Potato, with a side of Onion Rings. The scampi breadcrumbs were nice and crisp, and the scampi itself lovely and juicy. The chips were very nice. My partner’s chilli baked potato was very nice. The chilli had exactly the right balance of flavour and heat. The only tiny criticism was that a bit more chilli would have been nice, as the potato was pretty large. The serving staff were efficient and polite. We will return to Lagavulin

I found the Lagavulin Bistro by chance when I was looking for somewhere for lunch. I enjoyed my meal so much, that I am now a regular customer and make a point of calling in for lunch every time I am down in Alexandria (which is several times a month). The staff are really friendly and the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Everything is freshly cooked to order and tasted divine. The meat in the steak pie is so tender, baked potatoes are a very generous size, lasagne with garlic bread is excellent, etc. Full marks to the chef for his efforts and his staff for their very friendly service. They are also child-friendly and it is nice to see families with their little ones being catered for.

Travelling down the A82 we found this Bistro by chance, what a find ! The lunch was excellent, the staff could not be more helpful and pleasant, the home made steak pie is to be recommended, all this at a fraction of what you would pay for service station food. All made the better by the wonderful building that houses The Loch Lomond Factory Outlets and Bistro, on entering the building the stairway to the bistro takes your breath away, opulence back to the early 1900;s,the staff at the Bistro are rightfully proud of where they are and told us it was a car factory turned into a submarine torpedo factory in the second world war. Good luck to all the people trying to save this icon of a building and good luck to Lagavulin Bistro, you deserve it !

its not the first time we have visited, every time the food has been top notch. Piping hot and really well presented. Its a lovely place to eat, an old Alexandria historic building is a bonus. As with all Family run businesses that find it hard to get reliable staff, waiting time can be a little long but realistically nothing that distracts from the excellent food and friendly service. I do believe from talking to the owners quite a few times that all the food is prepared and cooked once the order has been made so personally I dont mind waiting an extra few minutes for super fresh food.

I went last week with my kids. I ordered a latte but got a milky coffee ordered a Caesar salad with no dressing and asked for some balsamic vinegar and olive oil on the side to which the waitress looked puzzled so I said I just have some olive oil on the side.Out came the salad with the Caesar dressing on so I said I can't have it I am allergic. I had to insist for her to take it back i showed her you can see the mustard seeds. Looked at me like i had 2 heads not a clue.Two minutes later out she came with the same salad and said this is the vinegrette you asked for I said no it is not It has mustard seeds it's the dressing that comes with the salad which I asked you not to put on it. Than came back again asking what I wanted I said again the Caesar salad with no dressing just some olive oil on the said I will use the vinegar on the table and make my own dressing. Could not believe it there was so quick to try and poison me without thinking twice!! Out she came again with a small jug with cooking oil, again insulting my intelligence in front of other customers by this point I was absolutely outraged I had to wait 50 minutes for another salad which I picked at because by this point my two toddlers had had enough. I went to the till to pay after 15 minutes I managed to pay and said to waitress I do not appreciate being insulted and the oil you brought out to me was cooking oil. I paid and left, yes I actually paid after being treated this way!! Not an apology what so ever. Deeply regret not making a fuss and refusing to pay now especially after my review on their fb page and their family member replied conveniently she was at the restaurant same day and I was shouting and disrupting other customers lunch and they had to apologise to them!! Ha ha ha really they should have come to the table than if I was disrupting other customers and sorted the issue out but obviously this was not the case. Bare in mind I was there with 2 small kids I was nice enough to go to the till when it wasn't busy so other customers would have not heard what poor service I received and that they where quick to lie and try to poison me .

Just a quick bowl of soup and cuppa. On entering we got told we could pick were to sit. So we found a nice table and waiting to get served, when we got served(a wee delay). We put our order in 2 lentil soups with crusty rolls and 2 tomato soups and crusty rolls, a cuppa tea a cuppa coffee and 2 fruitshoots. The young girl brought our drinks and it was presented such a quirky lovely way,with all types of sugars and milk in a wee glass milk bottle and my wife's tea was given a cup of hot water and a wee saucer with a tea bag placed inside so she could make the tea to her own strength. A few minutes later our soups came out and our girls had tomato soup (maybe a touch on the hot side) anyway they ate it all up eventually (slow eaters). Our soup came to tics later and it was a delicious homemade lentil soup the type that you want another bowl straight away but we didn't. While waiting for our soup myself and the wife noticed what others were ordering and have to say they all looked very yummy and very well portioned plate fulls. We will go back again. The price was very reasonable for what we got and left happy. I commented to the staff that the soups were wonderful. I never gave a 5 star rating because of delay at beginning. Food was 5 star though. Thanks

As we were in the (almost empty) outlet park we decided to pop in for a late lunch. The place was almost empty but very clean and our server was lovely and chatted away while taking our order. We ordered a kids chicken nuggets and chips, a lasagne and chicken goujons with sweet chilli dip as well as two diet cokes and a pot of tea. Order came to £20.05 which for the size of the portions was worth the money. Food was piping hot and chips were lovely and crunchy. Chili dip was just right too.
