The Harbour Shop in South Ayrshire

This was such a pleasant surprise. We were staying in Glenapp Castle and expected traditional fine dining in the main building, but not a Michelin-quality modern restaurant in the grounds. I was sceptical at first and had to be convinced by my partner to try this place, but I was certainly glad I did! The atmosphere on arrival is beautiful - you have a welcome canapes and drink in a green house area with pools, fresh growing herbs and other greenery around you. It was very special. Afterwards, you are treated to a fantastic, modern cuisine dinner that is exceptional with an excellent selection of wines. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying in the Ballantrae area. Just lovely!

Very enjoyable and great food. Hosts were friendly and shared stories about the local culture. Recommend!

The best place to eat for a homey food, please come to this place you wont be disappointed. I came here with my boyfriend yesterday for our first trip to the beach in Prestwick. The lady who handled us with short hair and glasses was so nice, she’s so heartwarming and very welcoming overall. The price is really affordable in my opinion. We had a three courses meal for £11 which includes Starter, Main, and Dessert. The food is really amazing! I came to Scotland last year September and I’d say this is definitely in my top 3 or even the best food I’ve ever had. My favorite one is the Steakpie from the main menu and my bf’s favorite is the soup and mac n cheese. The food is incredible so it’s all worth it. The lady who serve us made our trip memorable. I had a really great time here and I promise the food is really lovely!!!

Visited as a last minute meal and when asked if they done a gluten free , I was amazed when a gluten free menu was handed to me , a large menu of gluten free meals to choose from , staff were very friendly and could not be more helpful , will be back and I would recommend to anyone who is gluten free , had an amazing meal. Won't be long until we return.

We went to Lochgreen recently for a special family meal at night. I was really looking forward to it, as we hadn’t been before. The Taxi driver mentioned it was really busy on the way- a wedding on, but we got a nice welcome from reception when we arrived. The decor was quite a wow, and white linen tablecloths a nice touch, though a table with comfier seats near the window would have been nice if offered . The loud saxophone background musak was also a bit jarring. Waiting staff were nice and attentive however And the food and drink initially came quickly. It’s expensive and so there’s quite a big expectation. But the food though tasty was just lukewarm and we had to send our main course back to be heated up. My partners food came back with a ladle full of an unasked for sauce. And it all took a time . We were offered our coffees for free but I don’t think it made up for it or we’d go back. Toilets were nice but a wedding guest was changing a nappy on the toilet floor as she said there was nowhere else. So positives but a few negatives too
