Scotts Bar & Restaurant in North Ayrshire

Excellent food and staff loved it

This was our second family visit to Scott's at Largs and again, it did not disappoint. The Chicken Bao Buns were lovely, the sizzling fajitas were huge and hot, the pil pil prawn dish was great, and the desserts were fabulous. We were greeted on arrival and shown to our table, our server, Alex, was lovely, attentive and helpful, taking our drinks and food orders, making sure we had everything we needed and waiting when we needed a little more time. I love the location, the decor and the general vibe of the restaurant, and the temperature was great too (nice and warm!) - overall a great visit with family, made to feel welcome as always and will definitely be back. Very positive experience - oh, and the fish tank with clown fish and other tropical fish is a great addition and a good talking point. 5 stars guys !! ❤️❤️ see you again soon x

Had coconut chilli chicken and boeuf bourguignan which were superb!! Lovely atmosphere, lovely food: scotts is brilliant!!

Another great visit to Scott's. Warm , welcoming atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and nice variety of good quality food. And thanks to them for the unexpected gesture for our anniversary

Me and my lovely wife Linda had a fabulous time at Scott’s last night. Always fun getting out and getting tipsy at our age.

Attentive staff and great service

Very tasty food, very friendly service, good ambience. The surrounding landscape is very impressive. Looking forward to the next time!

Lovely friendly place. Quite warm inside. Various options on the menu with a kids menu also. Plenty of parking or you can walk a short distance to the restaurant if you fancy.

First time here & it was wonderful. Food was amazing, staff were lovely. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic place very happy with the experience

Very very friendly staff Fab food great.Come here often.

Overall good Food used to be much better, but service is fantastic

Beautiful lunch in a lovely restaurant.

A really great place. Super friendly service. The food was lovely and a good selection of drinks. Booking recommend.

Lovely restaurant, really nicely presented, and the staff were so friendly and nice. Food also excellent, would definitely recommend. On a different note, the fish tank was really well maintained and the inhabitants well cared for, which is lovely to see.

Quality food and service. Highly recommended 👌

Really really great food! The Scallops and Sea Bass were 10/10, would recommend. The service was slow unfortunately, however the staff were all very friendly!

Was here about three weeks ago have been several times before that. My daughter and eldest granddaughter and two eldest grandsons were up visiting from Manchester we all went to Scott's on the Saturday we all had various breakfasts and everything was great staff and atmosphere food could not fault it. It was a different story on the Sunday{my own personal view} I had the large Scottish breakfast the food was not as good as before also the waitress was not very happy.

Nice setting, food very good though a little expensive.

This iteration of Scotts comes with all the reliability of a well run chain, but retains the feel of an family run joint thats very welcoming. New menu now offers a value options at lunch but the main one still has the eclectic mix of posh foods and snack offerings. We love so many of the offerings. Had olives full of flavour if a little small, the white bait was super crispy and the bean hummus tasty way to start. The lobster mac really shashed it out the park moist full of cheesy flavour and plenty of lobster. Tempura Prawns awesome as usual, wasabi dip magic. Tried a mini eaton mess very good lighter than our normal tablet sunday which btw is the best get two spoons. Good selection of drinks avalible.

Went for breakfast with family and it was delicious. Food lovely and hot. Staff friendly as always.

As always great ambiance and very good service and assistance from Leanne and all the staff.disappointed that back to only 2 instead of 3 scallops...not value for money..so will not order in future..

This is a popular place with locals. Been in a couple of times now. First time went in for a drink and might have had starters but were pushed to the bar stools even though there were plenty of tables lit laid for dinner. Second time we sat on the terrace and went in to order a drink. Drinks were brought to the terrace which was nice and a staff member then tried to get us to see the menu and order even though the big sign at the door said to order at the bar. Third time I had lunch. Three people serving in the patio area but left for a while unserved. When I ordered a drink there was a wait but then ordered food. Chicken taco was tasty but not a taco. Instead got fajita wraps. So soft not crunchy. Service is overall pretty casual and a bit haphazard. But the locals don’t seem to mind.

Attention to detail needs working on. Train staff to look around for customers trying to attract their attention. Portions are small, reasonable value at happy hour prices, i.e. 40% off. Nice ambience and friendly staff.

Lovely meal kids at next table so a bit noisey price a bit over the top

We have visited here many times. The front house staff are always helpful kind and caring about your stay. The food is better than the 4* restaurants we have visited. The chef and staff back of house should be praised for the amazing food they send out! Several of our visits lately customers have been rude and awful to these young adults. The owner of this restaurant should be proud that she often employs a lot of young people and people of many back grounds. Please do not act like children when your out. It's very easy to call staff over and say sorry something is wrong with this. And they will fix it. Stomping ones feet and wanting to clean a toilet with wine makes you sound like a privileged child! You should be returning and apologising and leaving massive tip!! Please behave your self when visiting restaurants. These staff work hard asbd and are young. So act your age! A VERY A HAPPY CUSTOMER

Had another lovely lunch here today. Food excellent and staff warm and welcoming as always.

Great food, great decor, great service.

As always excellent food and friendly staff.

A pleasent atmosphere with an interesting and varied menu, super efficient and pleasant mannered staff. The fish stew is a must-try.

Beautiful location, amazing atmosphere and delicious food 😍 definitely will be back!

Entered by chance, we didn't expect to eat so well. Our dishes were tasty and well presented. The staff were very kind and attentive. The establishment is spacious and pleasant. We will return!

Just okay nothing outstanding i,am afraid 😨

Great food and great service. Will be back.

Our first visit to Scotts Largs last night but certainly wont be our last!The food was amazing and service times for a busy Saturday evening were exceptional. The chicken tempura is to die for and the tartar sauce that came with my husbands fish & chips is the best he has ever had he said! The selection of Drivers Choice drinks on the menu is really impressive, at 9 months pregnant its hard to find a nice mocktail to enjoy when out for dinner but the Iced Strawberry Lemonade one was so refreshing.Special mention to our waitress Zhara who was so attentive from the minute we arrive until we left, such a lovely young girl.Overall a perfect Date Night for my husbands birthday and we cant wait to come back and visit again soon.Thank you

Great restaurant, very friendly service, high quality cuisine, in a very cozy setting…. A stone's throw from the marina, ideal for warming up after a trip in the Scottish lochs 😜

Had dinner, it was very nice, service was good too.

What started of as amazing ended up just sitting their waiting on someone coming to see if we wanted anything else! Meal was lovely. We went out for our anniversary meal after an absolutely stressful year. It all started out brilliant , excellent table,got our main and a drink then no one came near us, their was an 18th birthday on, everyone should be treated the same, we sat for over half an hour with empty plates in front of us which defenetly is not acceptable. When we left, I mentioned this to the waitor who said sorry, this was defenetly not the correct answer. Their would be no need for sorry if things were handled more professionally, Their was someone else complaining as we came in. Customers should not be left sitting with plates in front of them for so long.

Family friendly place and food was really good.

Brilliant evening dining alfresco! Thank you!

Good variation on the menu Reasonably priced Great breakfast for the hungry traveller

Great restaurant and great food. Absolutely recommand

Lovely restaurant a nice wee walk along the beach 🏖️ side from Largs 😎 we really enjoyed our food too...an excellent menu 😋👍

Had a really nice early lunch here a few weeks ago when we were picking up some paperwork in Largs. Sat in the conservatory just as they were switching from breakfast to lunch so wasn’t all that fast but it was worth the wait for such a lovely sandwich!

When are people going to learn how to attend to someone who is Gluton & Dairy Free. My grandaughter who is very intolerant to such food ,has been up all night constantly sick round the clock after Scott's promise of Gluton & Dairy free food. It will now take 6 weeks for my grandaughter to recover. Scotts better hope she does recover. Shame on you after spending £300 in your restaurant yesterday 05/02/24. Fake Chefs . Want me to come show you how to cook( Gluton & Dairy free food) shame on you. I want a list of what my grandaughters Gluton & dairy free food was I'll be taking this further. I specifically asked your waitress to make sure & we were reassured the food was Gluton & Dairy free.

Lovely sheltered outdoor/conservatory seating. Dog friendly and our puppy had a great time with free refills on his water bowl

Terrible service, terrible food for the price. Won't take USA credit cards.

Visited today for lunch, we sat in the glass area as we had our dog with us. Staff member said that we would have to order our food inside as they were not taking table orders. I asked for two bottles of water, got 2 glasses of tap water. My husbands ciabatta was OK asked for ketchup and by the time he'd finished it still hadn't arrived I ordered a prawn marie rose sandwich. It was on a baguette not bread and the dressing was like water. Don't think we'll be back.

We sat outside for lunch in a conservatory type area. There were heaters above us but we didn't need them as it was warm enough. I had a ham & cheese sandwich and a hot chocolate. We also got a prawn starter came in a hot skillet(it was still bubbling) which added a little excitement to the meal. It was all delicious. It was quiet when we went so the service was quick.

A fantastic place to eat with your family. Great food and service. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Very cool, staff were amazing, food was great! A must!

Nice place... food was good... but nothing really special for us.

One of the coolest restaurants chains in Scotland. Strongly recommended

Firstly, the waiting staff were lovely, friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was ok - I was in for breakfast however and I think evenings or even lunches would have more atmosphere. The food, however, was disappointing: it had the feel of mass produced. Avocado was some sort f pre prepared guacamole - not fresh, mushrooms were not freshly cooked and rubbery, hollandaise sauce - was interesting and the smoked salmon was rough and surprisingly fatty. Poached eggs were good though. Not sure if this chain is suffering from centralised production of food - or perhaps I was unlucky?

Fantastic lunch. The staff were great as was the food. Well worth a visit.

To start with asked for a fresh orange and lemonade couldn't get it right. Went for prawn cocktail which said was succulent king prawns got one as a garnish 🤣 my partner asked for chicken tempura which came covered in chillies, which isn't on the menu 🤔 went for the flat iron steak which they couldn't even cook the way we were asked.

Went to the main restaurant for a bit of a special lunch with friends, ordered a bottle of wine and starters but the main courses were brought out almost immediately. Friend asked if we could eat our starters first, partly because there was no room on the table for all the plates. When our mains came they had obviously gone under a heat lamp for a while as the pasta dishes had solidified and by then the fish dishes were very dry and overcoooked. Have eaten light lunches in the conservatory which were nice - will stick to that in future.

A great Buzzworks service all round. Food was nice and service was great. The setting beside tbe sea is a major plus too

I've been twice before to this place. However, not as frustrating as Sunday morning, 3rd March, 2024. Arrived and was greeted with a strange sign on a table saying order within. So we went in and sat at a window table. One waitress was there, but left and didn't acknowledge us. We waited a while for someone to emerge from somewhere. Eventually two waiters appeared at the one time carrying food. They passed our table twice but gave us no acknowledgement. We waited some mor ; nothing. So as we decided to leave.. the two waiters appeared again from another door. I told them we were leaving because we had been ignored. Unbelievably, their aloof reply was " you didn't say anything ", I said " pardon? ". They said " you didn't say anything " . I was gobsmacked. I couldn't believe his reply ,so I turned and walked away. What kind of training was he given that he didn't acknowledge his customers until they made themselves known as wanting to be served. Just not a place I would want to hang out in. It's also got no atmosphere. So we went to the ' Bosuns Table ', where we were greeted with two big smiles and excellent service. So the Bosuns Table is where we will regularly go from now on.

Rather overpriced now, order 2 shared platters and macaroni cheese, 1 bottle wine over £150. Better go elsewhere next time. Seafood options now very limited.

Today, I had an amazing experience at Scotts Largs, celebrating my daughter's first trip to Scotland with a group of 20 people. The staff was very helpful and the set menu food was delicious. Mia, our waitress, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thank you for creating a memorable day! Highly recommended.

Staff excellent, steak disappointing in quality for price and overcooked

Cosy, with courteous service and high level kitchen

Geat place to come for some breakfast, lunch or cocktails. Food is always nice. There's a relaxed atmosphere in the (dog friendly) terrace or more formal setting in the main restaurant.

Amazing food and coffee! You can bring your dog to the heated outdoor lounge. Staff are lovely and accommodating. Prices are fair for quality and service you receive. Love Scotts!

Don't be fooled by the full breakfast 🥞 for £12 .. there's minimal on the plate and I wouldn't like to see the small one . If u ask for a breakfast roll make sure that's what you get or else it will b scrambled eggs for £3.75. £30 for two breakfast plus two coffees .so make sure you eat well before you go in.... Rip off 100%> went in hungry came out starving ...

Welcome great service was quite prompt although we had to ask to order a dessert, burger was tasty just a wee bit small, chips were cold. Mushroom taco tasty but over priced, chips were cold. Asked for a pint of lemonade, received a pint of ice with a splash of lemonade, I would have got product if I had ordered a regular size. Over all nice atmosphere but let down by food and drink

Amazing breakfast, lovely environment and nice staff :)

We visit New Year’s Eve wasn’t disappointed. Staff lovely food amazing had the most lovely experience. Definitely be back Liz from Manchester

Booked the Santa Paws Breakfast and I was very disappointed, it wasn’t what I expected. There was no Santa, they ran a best dressed competition and noone knew who the winner was, there was no host apart from a local company that was assigned to a table at the door greeting you as you came in but no other interaction. The food was good but I didn’t like the idea of waiting staff having to bring the food and drinks from the main building to your table which meant them having to go outside with it. Poorly organized and lack of parking.

Always great food, nice atmosphere.

Made Xmas day one to remember, not a single hiccup, no delays and the food was excellent. all staff were incredibly professional and helpful not a single one who attended to us was anything less than excellent

Excellent food with sufficient servings in a very comfortable setting. An above average eaterie with prices to match. A lovely bar with comfortable stools and tables with comfortable seating. The toilets are immaculate. The service was slightly disappointing due to the speed of drinks arriving and, when asked to replace the table candle, the waitress acknowledged the request and was never seen again!! Despite this I would strongly recommend trying this place out. You could spend more money elsewhere and do a lot worse.

This is a great restaurant with tremendous food, outstanding service and fairly quiet. The tables are well spaced so you are not infringing on other groups. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Food was brilliant. Stuffed after two courses but the dessert menu arrived and couldn't refuse. Left fit for bursting. The staff, Lianne, Alex, Lawrence, Finlay, couldn't do more. Delighted and would recommend 100%.

Superb, lovely atmosphere, consistently good food, a warm.fire and professional-friendly staff.

We popped into scotts for breakfast recently as we had seen they were advertising santa paws breakfast event which we thought would be fun but we were rather disappointed. This was our first ever visit to this buzzworks branch. Having been to a few santa paws events in the past, we were expecting it to be a good event especially from buzzworks but we were quite disappointed with it. The only thing they had was someone plugging there dog grooming business and petshop, selling dog treats etc, there was no santa, no Xmas decor, nothing, there was a best dressed dog competition but noone found out who won, it was such a badly managed event. The service was so slow and staff kept changing so they didn't know If we had our order taken or not. We never got any sugar with our teas, and the food wasn't warm. The dog area is nice although a little cramped and the parking was a bit of a nightmare, we were lucky to find a space. The dog menu was good, with plenty of choice which our dogs loved and the biscuits on the table were a nice touch. I doubt we would rush back as it was rather expensive for the small portions and badly organised event by buzzworks, we expected so much better.

Good service and very comfortable and রিলেটেড atmosphere

Fantastic food, service was a tad slow at times, only 3 waitresses on a busy Friday night. The low roof amplifies the noise.

Good selection of hot and cold food. Good friendly staff a nice atmosphere with good quality food.

Very busy but staff quickly found us a spot by the beautiful log burner. Service was slow as the bar was clearly understaffed. This is a great wee place just don't be in a hurry.

I do not often give 5/5 but perhaps the sun, the music the pet friendly environment, the Scottish breakfast, the service, the clean loos, etc... It deserves the 5🌟

Overpriced but food is decent tasting. Although the chicken burger we ordered came with very little sauce and had to be sent back. We went on a Sunday with a 60% offer which was good too as I wouldn't want to have paid full price for what we got. Service was just OK too. Staff didn't wait to hear what we wanted and had to go back and forth several times just for sauces and vinegar etc. I wouldn't rush back.
