The mac & cheese bites were delectable. The batter was so crisped, yet the inside so warm and gooey. It told us it came with tomato sauce, but it exceeded all expectations. The lemonade was very interesting. It was very bubbly, but wasn't very fizzy. Still delicious and highly recommended. The main was absolutely incredible. The chicken fajitas came bubbling. It was insane. It was incredibly spicy but still was tasty. The veggie enchilada was delectable. The flavour was so unique and many stir-fry vegetables and still kept a level of spice. Recommended tomato over creamy sauce. There is nothing that could compare to the dessert of Belgian waffles. It came with an addition of caramel, chocolate sauce, and ice cream. Truly

We chose to have mains only, as we had bought a variety of seafood starters..Once again, James and his staff surpassed themselves. We had a traditional meal consisting of roast turkey dark meat, light meat, stuffing, and pigs in blankets withsimple re-heating instructions, and separate carton of turkey gravy, This was accompanied by potatoes cooked 3 ways, and freshly-cooked carrots, parsnips and and sprouts. Once again far more than we could eat. Keep up the good work,and A Happy New Year to you all.

We stopped here because we needed to stay in the area for the night and there were not too many other options. The place was very basic - clean and tidy but not much more than that. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good - lots of choices and fresh-cooked options. Unless you actually need to stay in Dumbarton, I would suggest you skip this place and find somewhere in Balloch just up the road.

Lentil soup hadn't cooked enough for the individual lentils to have broken down and was too salty. Burger was disappointing, tasteless. The only bright spot on the horizon was the service. Pearl was a star. Won't be returning. Too expensive to be disappointed a second time.

This is a restaurant myself and my wife visit fairly often as the food is really delicious and the restaurant itself has nice decor making for a comfortable environment but is it really all positive?This restaurant is based in a hotel but when we have visited it is often fairly quiet (we often visit at lunch time) which is in part due to the number of people who eat in the bar area of this hotel. The fact the restaurant is quiet means my wife and I enjoy the quietness as it means you are able to sit and have a conversation and be able to hear each other but as the bar area is busier it can often mean that there are no staff in the restaurant area and so this can lead to slow service (especially when it comes to getting the bill where we have waited 30 minutes to get the attention of a staff member). The staff are really friendly and professional but it is down to lack of service sometimes that it can frustrate.The food itself is very tasty and gives a good portion size so whilst the food is more expensive than other restaurants in the area I consider this a decent value for money when taking into consideration the setting (being in a hotel does mean restaurants are often more expensive), the quality of food and the portion sizes.The menu offers up a few options although I do think it could offer a bit more choice as I know I often order the same thing but unless you can get a favourite item it does mean the options are somewhat limited.Overall this is a nice restaurant with good quality food and a friendly, professional staff but the lack of service when the restaurant is quiet does mean you can end up having a much longer lunch than you originally planned as you try to get another drink or just the bill.

We were staying in Dumbarton for a few days to attend a wedding, and didn't know where to go to eat so picked this as it was nearby and the reviews looked good. The look of the building outside is not very inviting but the welcome in the restaurant was! We sat in the bar part, in a booth, and got very good friendly service from the start even though we had not booked. Lovely food, I had haggis and partner had venison. Good value.

We stopped here for lunch as we were in the area. We had visited a few months ago and were happy to make a return visit. Great menu and great value with friendly staff. On this occasion I had the salmon fajita and couldn’t believe the plateful and all the trimmings. My husband had the mac and cheese with hand cut chips and mum had haggis neeps and tatties. Both cleared their plates, as I did and were very satisfied. We rounded off with coffees which were lovely. We’ll be happy to visit again fairly soon.

We came with my mum on her recommendation and we were not disappointed. Great environment, great menu and great friendly service. Mum and I had chicken enchiladas and my husband had Haggis, Neeps and Tatties with whisky sauce. No complaints from any of us and clean plates all round. Despite having no room, one dessert was ordered - the special - caramel crunch cheesecake. Luckily the staff read our minds and brought 3 sets of cutlery. I would make a visit here for this alone and I don’t really do desserts. Great value for money and we will return.

Went here for my niece's birthday. "FRESH FISH" the menu proudly displayed. A few of us had starters and this is where it began to go wrong.....they don't serve the main course until EVERYONE has finished their starters but they cooked the main course and just left it sitting in their kitchen waiting on the last person at the table finished their starter. The batter on the fish just disintegrated and the fish was as dry as a bone and just crumbled into mash. It was quite simply the worst I have ever had. The "hotel" looked like it hadn't been decorated since the early 1960's.....decadent would be an understatement! It was noted that not one single waiter/waitress approached us to ask "if everything was ok". Under normal circumstances I would have had no hesitation in complaining but I was under strict instructions from my partner that I was not "to cause a scene at my niece's birthday". For 3 days I ran the guts out of myself and within a week I found out that other family members had also been the same. I thought it was the disgusting lager they sold but the others had not drunk lager. Then I asked my partner to find out what the others (who were ill) had to eat and the same answer came bak from all of them, "fish". You would be well advised to follow the instructions in the title of this review!

Visited on a Wednesday night for my Dad's Birthday. Shown to our seats and drinks order was taken swiftly - a good start! However that's where the good service ended. I had to shout the waitress across after 15 minutes to ask if we could now place our food order. Starters arrived after a short while and it was another 45/50 minutes before our main courses arrived - I'm sure we would still be waiting if I hadn't asked if they could chase our food up in the kitchen! I also had to ask where our second round of drinks had disappeared to as we had been sitting with empty glasses for ages.My Wife asked for extra sour cream during her main meal which never arrived! We then asked to see the dessert menu which (surprise surprise) also never arrived! So we got the bill and left. Everyone agreed the food was tasty (and hot) although the chicken sizzler size was poor and my wife's salad with her main meal was more like a second thought - just not enough of it. We were looking forward to dessert but as I said earlier this never happened unfortunately and we ended up stopping off at M&S Garage on the way home instead!The staff advised they were extremely busy for a Wednesday evening. Surely if they allowed table bookings before 19:30 this could have been accounted for and more staff drafted in? We did feel sorry for the young girl serving, she was very pleasant and did look run off her feet in fairness.What should have been a celebration was slightly dampened by the poor service - it's been a long time since I have experienced anything like that. An offer of a round of drinks may have softened the long wait (although we'd probably still be waiting for them!) but lessons to be learned Abbotsford!Won't rush back despite the food being tasty which is a real shame!

The food was really nice, staff were exceptional and then we got the bill...I expected to pay for drinks, that would be reasonable. I was handed a bill for £19 and it turns out only one meal is free, which I feel is extremely misleading. Effectively it makes it a 2 for 1 or 50% off deal and that's something a lot of restaurants offer. Left a lot of ill-feeling on my part and feel a little cheated.

We attended the Abbotsford Hotel Restaurant as part of a group for a birthday celebration. The service was quick and efficient. However, some of the food wasn't that great. Mainly the 3 people who ordered macaroni cheese were disappointed in the taste. I have been for dinner before at this restaurant and had macaroni previously, which tasted great. However the macaroni this time was bland, tasteless and not very appetising - even after applying seasoning. I'm unsure whether they have changed the chef or the recipe that they use, but we weren't impressed. The others in the party had no complaints about their dishes.

Stayed overnight for a function. The staff at the hotel are great especially the bar and receptionist. The food is great and good value. Reasonable prices bar but rooms are good but could be better.

Dropped in on the off chance and was pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the staff were excellent.Had haggis gateaux for starters, they were very well presented and tasted great. We had a combination of steak pies and the lamb and haggis meat balls and they were both well presented and tasted very good. All polished off with desserts and coffee and all in all a very good meal.The staff were always on hand and were brilliant. It is such a pleasure when all the staff are so helpful, pleasant and funny. Particularly enjoyed the jokes about haggis and turning your hair ginger, brilliant.Thank you for a great lunch.

Visited this week with family, have been a few times and not been disappointed at all with the service or the meal. Only criticism I have is the size of the tortillas you get with the chicken etc for the fajitas, they are too small considering how much filling you get! Good value for money and will be back .

Sorry to say that again I was disappointed in the food I ate - BBQ chicken. The chicken wasn't succulent and the BBQ sauce unexpectedly and unpleasantly spicy. This is not the first time I have had overspiced food on a WEDNESDAY evening ( the evening we usually meet) and I wonder if there is a different chef on that night. To be fair though, I had a lovely Christmas lunch there last year, as part of a large group, and will be returning again with the same group this year.

We stayed just one night but we're delighted with the quality of the room and newly refurbished bathroom. The staff on reception were efficient, helpful and friendly. We ate in the restaurant and again the staff were attentive and efficient. The food was great, plenty of it and reasonable in price. Our family joined us for the evening and we had a lovely evening.

We have been to The Abbotsford many times over the past few years, both for a quick lunch and a full family dinner, as it is local to us, the food (quality and quantity) is always very good and none of the dishes are too expensive - the menu hasn't changed for years, however the choice is huge so you can go again and again and not eat the same thing twice! Staff are always very good and, even when it's busy, you never have to wait long to be seated or served.

Utter disaster. Booked in advance and called days before. My mum even went in with cake and decorations on the morning. Waited half an hour for Peppercorn sauce no show but still charged. Told get Prosecco complimentary free for mess up but in my bill. Not sorry, ruined the night, will not be back. Steak was rotten. I will never go back!

I am not from this area but I have driven past the Abbotsford many time over the years, usually on my way to Loch Lomond. The dated, 70s exterior is misleading and, if it wasn't for a recent meal with a dozen or so friends from that area, I would have always given it a miss.We were catered to very well, despite the restaurant and bar being so busy. I was actually very surprised at the quality and quantity of the food. I loved my steak pie. Very reasonable prices and a great night.

The Abbotsford is in my home town of Dumbarton and I regularly eat there. Once a month I meet with my friends and we always have a lovely lunch. Very reasonably priced. The owners the McGroarty family are very friendly and 'hands on' and the staff are also very good. We are holding a reunion there next month as the function suite is ideal for over 100 people , has a nice layout and prices are very reasonable. Big bonus is that its on my doorstep!

Experienced really good friendly service from all in attendance at a recent funeral reception at The Abbotsford. Limitless coffee and tea to supplement loads of sausage rolls, freshly made sandwiches, scones and cakes.Staff were pleasant and efficiently coped with a huge amount of people at this event. I would recommend this hotel as I have never been disappointed with great food served in the restaurant and the standards continue to be set so very high.

We booked a nights stay at The Abbotsford as friends of ours had invited us their renewal of wedding vows at the nearby Dumbuck Hotel. When we arrived we were quite put off by the look of the building, ugly 60's style, however, when we ventured inside we were very pleasantly surprised! The hotels interior is very clean and modern, we had a kingsize room, the bed was very comfortable and the was great too! We went to the bar for a drink whilst waiting for a taxi and it was very busy, however the lovely lady behind the bar is very efficient and friendly, so we only waited a few minutes. The next morning we had breakfast which we can highly recommend, a good choice, cooked to order and lovely smart waiting staff. All in all a fantastic hotel which we couldn't fault!

Came in with my 2 children, husband and my mum. We all wanted a Sunday roast and found the meat portions were really good and plenty to choose from with vegetables etc.Desserts were too big to finish after a carvery lol. Our server Alana couldn't have been more helpful.

We were looking for a place to eat within the Loch Lomond Shores shopping center and went in because we liked the ambiance inside. Great decision as the staff was friendly and helpful and we sure needed help to choose the Scottish dishes on the menu. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We picked all the Scottish specialties and enjoyed them - Haggis, Black Pudding with whiskey and black pepper mayonnaise (fascinating combo), smoked salmon, steak pie in red wine – suffice to say, eating here was an adventure.
