As a regular visitor, the food is generally very good. On some occasions the chips and fries can be dissapointing. It's not their flavour, just that they can be on the cool side, not piping hot! On the other hand fish dishes, steaks etc are always fresh and hot. This appears to suggest the chips and fries are sitting for a while prior to serving. Thanks to Serena for her pleasant and friendly manner.

Upon arrival, and having a glass of wine poured for me from a bottle, that I ordered the waiter knocked the full glass of wine over me, completely soaking me from my bottom half to my feet. The waiter was fully apologetic, however this dampened our 'Christmas time' together because I was left sitting in wet clothes until i went home. I do like the Commodore as we have been going for a number of years. The wine spilt wasn't replenished, not overly happy, having spent twenty pound on a bottle for me to be wearing it. Accidents do happen, but not great customer service to be honest. I will be back to the Commodore as I do like it there, just unfortunate that I was left wearing the wine.

Edit: the fruit machine is no longer in the bar area, thank you very much for taking my feedback on board!! Lovely pub, very nice decor inside and the staff are brilliant. The food has always been nice and a good bet for a roast. Have to say, they've put so much effort into the nice decor, then placed a massive flashy fruit machine that ruins it entirely. It's gaudy and distracting and really ruins the atmosphere that they've invested so much into. It's bad enough that I'd say it definitely makes me reconsider where to go for a quiet pint, as sitting near it is pretty horrible. Move it into the hallway, or to be honest, just get rid of it.

Was a table of 7. Had 6 starters all ok apart from the sticky chicken which was very dry. Steaks were pretty tough (X2) but cooked as requested, gammon was over cooked and very dry. Potatoes with sea bass were raw in the middle. Should have complained at the time but awkward when you have taken guests for a meal. The service on the other hand was impeccable, with good banter and very attentive. (I forget the gents name but was from paris) 3 stars is probably generous for the food as lots of choice in helensburgh, but the waiter made the night.

I call it Debbie's place - you'll know it when you see it! - said several of the locals on Islay. A large group of us visiting the island had spent the morning dotted across it doing various different activities. I'd asked in the brilliant Islay Natural History Trust where locally we could grab lunch and was directed to the Bruichladdich Mini Market. The place itself is run by Debbie, her mum and her sister. It's the ort of place that is the lifeblood of islands the world over - half grocery shop, half cafe - all welcoming. Debbie's sister was in charge when a group of 15 of us rocked up unannounced. This would normally not have been a problem - plenty of outside seating - but that particular day the ferry had been cancelled, along with much of the stock for the shop and cafe. Undeterred the staff there made us feel welcome and pulled together a lunch which went down very well with all - children and adults alike. Think sandwiches and toasties with great coffee and a good choice of cold drinks. They also serve some amazing cakes - I'm told the rocky road was fab, I know the chocolate cake was! Although initially under pressure when we all turned up, the staff seated us happily and we had all eaten within about 15 minutes of arriving.
