The Vine in South Ayrshire

We visited for brunch this week, it took a long time to get service. When we did order we had a lengthy wait for the food. The food arrived and it was mediocre, the eggs were over cooked and lukewarm warm. We have eaten here before and the food was good but a big disappointment this visit.

Popped in for a morning tea and scone. The service was really good, the price was very reasonable and the scone was good with plenty of jam.

Great food. Prawn cocktail was amazing. Nice atmosphere.

Verbally abused by a member of staff who accused me of peeing on the bathroom floor! One of the urinals was blocked, so maybe you should sort your plumbing out, rather than falsely accusing customers, who in my case will never return.

Vics is a cracking place. Great food, great atmosphere, music for all genres. Been coming here 20 years.

My breakfast was delicious today yum yum 🤤

Quiet Monday afternoon meal. Still great food and service

Last minute decision. Food and service excellent. We will return

Very nice place with friendly and helpful staff. Steak slightly overcooked or would be 5 stars

In the sports bar.... excellent!! Had lunch, service and food excellent. In the full restaurant for dinner and also excellent. Food great, service very good by well trained polite, young staff. Well done.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Service was great! Amy was very professional and friendly. A credit to The Vine!

Had a lovely meal in here the food was amazing. We had the 3 courses for £22.50 great deal would defo return 😊

Great Tuesday night Fork out for Less meal

as a regular diner this is an excellent place for lunch and dinner. Well cooked at a good price.

Very pleasant restaurant with good quality food at reasonable prices, also has a friendly bar attached.

Be sure to check the bill. Prices charged are more than the price on the menu. Complained and got my money back as they know this is against the law

Amazing place to eat, service was exceptional, and the food was cooked to perfection, a great wee find, after a wee road trip to get away from it all. Couldn't recommend the Vine enough

Absolutely stunning decor and interior design to make a spectacular seating experience. Really makes you feel like you're in a well cared for restaurant. The food in my opinion wasn't up to the price they charge unfortunately. Don't get me wrong it is good, but can get the same elsewhere for less.

We arrived with two dogs at quarter to 12 , set up the outdoor heaters and checked the breakfast menu . Went in to order at ten two and was curtly told it was too late to order breakfast ? We would be able to order lunch at 12 . Menus were only then removed from the display shelf and lunch ones put there at 12 , 10 ft away from us although the server could see we were sitting there !. First time and last time we will try this pet friendly !!customer friendly restaurant . Surely they should advertise breakfast up to 11.30 rather than 12 . Would it have been too much trouble to serve a few filled rolls ?? Went elsewhere where the service and food excellent. Disappointing vine

Good service and food appreciated being able to take the dog there

Used to go here when it was Elliotts, this is the first time in The Vine. I would recommend the pan fried seabass, I had it for lunch and it was delicious. Nice relaxed resteraunt with great food 👌

Just wanted to leave a review to highlight the great service provided by one of your staff. Nothing was too much for one of your servers. Always a smile on her face with every request. The only thing I would say should be looked at is the portion size of the adult macaroni. Everything else was plenty but the mac was the same size as kids on bigger plate. However I will definitely be back as the service was 10/10 and the food was lovely.

This is the best meal we had eaten in a long time. Food was fresh, hot and tasty! Friendly, helpful staff. Would be important to book in advance.

Superb meal and service for 4. A lovely evening.

First time I have been to The Vine and I wasn’t disappointed. I went with my husband and we both thoroughly enjoyed everything. We had three courses , everything was made to the highest standard. It was a great atmosphere, the service was outstanding and staff very friendly. Will definitely return 😊

It was really hard to get the servers attention when we were looking for water, then the same again when we wanted the bill.

Loved this restaurant. Recommended by local family. Great food, drinks and setting. Recommend booking. Would be good gor a date night.

Went here with friends following a recommendation. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Food and service was excellent. Cheese board was amazing. If I'd had a fridge in my hotel room I'd have asked for a doggie bag to take what was left home for supper lol

Great girls day for Grease/ Dirty Dancing.

Excellent attention from John and Georgia during our visit. Both were so friendly and attentive during our visit. They are great ambassadors for the company. Food superb. Will be back for sure.

Great Sunday roast service first class and good atmosphere

Great meal . Good atmosphere. . Great service from the young girl . . Couldn't have asked for anything more .

What a lovely experience at The Vine. My friend took me for a Birthday lunch and the food was outstanding. The BBQ cod and seabass especially. The setting is beautiful and the service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!

The portions of food shocking fish gougains l received 3 only and husband had the lamb received 4 very small pices of meat.

nice and clean, food was delitious

I had lunch at the Vine today with a friend. The service was excellent but, unfortunately, the meal was not very hot. However, the waiter said they would work on that.

Just enjoyed a delicious late lunch in The Vine with my friend today. We visited the restaurant the last time we were in Prestwick and we were so impressed we thought we’d try it again and we were not disappointed. I’m quite a critical person but I was so impressed with the whole ethos of the place. Literally everything has been thought of with the customer in mind. The staff are well trained and professionally friendly, the menu choices varied to suit most tastes and the decor so relaxing. I sometimes wish I stayed in Prestwick just to visit more often.

Went for full breakfasts with my friend recently the place looked nice the staff were attentive but the food was disgusting could hardly eat it. Was not cooked fresh to order rock hard burnt bacon ,potato scones like rubber, no haggis and not told it would be missing . The tea was foul like a pound land variety. And it was extra ££ to get a pot of tea or a coffee with breakfast. The plates were warm but the food was placed on them cold!..beans were like a teaspoon worth in a tiny milk jug also half a tomato ,two small mushrooms, inedible bacon ,burnt black pudding and a pork link that tasted of nothing was peel wally undercooked looking. And the toast placed over the top to.make it look like the plate was full..tiny portions given. All in all for two brekkies and teas was £34 plus. They also added a cheeky service charge ,seems the chef was lazy everything was reheats. Wanted to try this place for ages but would never go back we did wonder why it was so quiet when the wee cafe next door along was absolutely rammed with people in for brekkie (possibly we know why now.)overpriced cheap rotten low budget food and bacon fused together as so burnt!

Reasonably good foof in a nice venue, it's a best jeans and tee shirt venue.

Fantastic meal - very busy but staff attentive - 5/5

Great food and service.Reasonably priced and nice and cool inside on a blistering hot day. One miner gripe waiter asked about allergies or ingredients not liked.My wife told him of her distaste of coriander which he noted.When her food arrived smallpieces of corriander mixed up through her salad.🤔 But apart from that we will be back.

Over priced, but enjoyed the meal we had. Not a huge choice on the menu. The waiter we had was a young lad, very attentive and pleasant.

Love the atmosphere, ambience and everything about it.

Picked this restaurant at short notice, was absolutely amazing, food was great, staff were incredible, well oiled machine without feeling rushed.

The food was very good, if a bit pricey. The ladies had cocktails which were good though. There is parking around the back and plenty of on street parking. The service was quick and efficient, the restaurant is is very nice inside.

Definitely the Beez Neez one of Buzzworks top. Venues

Cannot recommend this place enough. I went on a Monday night and it was ridiculously busy. After tasting the food, I can understand why. All 3 courses were delicious. If I'm ever back in this area, will definitely go back

I’ve written this review on booking online so have based my review on this rather than actually visiting on this occasion. Been to the Vine lots and normally had a really nice relaxing lunch. Went to book a table for lunch today and basically given the table for 1.5 hours max. Tried different times with the same result. On previous visits it’s normally about half an hour before the starter arrives as you’ve to be seated, choose drinks, look through the menu etc therefore unless I want to race though everything I’m not going to fit in starter, main, coffee in about an hour. Unfortunately this seems to be a trend in a lot of restaurants now who obviously don’t value their customers and expect you to shove the food down your throat and get out as quickly as possible til they get the next customer in. Not hospitality at its best. Sorry Vine I won’t be back until this changes.

Have been here numerous times now and every time it has been great Customer service is fantastic, all of the staff are helpful, friendly and professional. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and always spotless and the food is delicious. We usually come as a family with a toddler and baby and have been made to feel welcome everytime. Highly recommend

Great food and reasonably priced

Pop in in a Friday for lunch specials amazing value for money, food good and always clean, I always see adverts for theme nights that look great, defo need to try one of these.

All good here, lovely steak...how do you make the mustard and whiskey sauce????

Lovely restaurant, nice staff, good starter .... but ... awful main course not as described in menu. Seabass on top of bed of mash rather than accompanied with baby potatoes. Terrible as a result. Concerned that apparently I am not the first to make that complaint??

Fabulous food and great atmosphere. Very friendly attentive staff.

I recently visited The Vine for brunch and was thoroughly impressed. The food choices were diverse and delicious, catering to a variety of tastes. The ambiance was lovely, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great brunch spot!

Always good when I go there. Not been let down yet.

Had a lovely catch up today for late lunch, with family from Prestwick Kilmarnock and Cousins from London, Cambridge and New Zealand (Who originally came from Scotland) Food Service and atmosphere were all good Perfect meeting establishment would highly recommend

Reservation- 6th June. Thanks to all the team at vic & vine who contributed to making our visit a memorable one . It’s worth saying special thanks to Jane ,who looked after service and our group . Thanks so much .

I visited few times over the years and the staff are always very friendly and professional. I definitely will be back when in this area and I can highly recommend it to anyone... Thanks guys!

Nice place for my wife and I to stop by for a coffee and glass of wine. We sat in the conservatory area, which was just right for us to chill for half an hour. The meals we did see served up looked very nice, certainly be worth a visit to dine next time we are in the area.

Makings of a perfect, fun Saturday afternoon with the girls. The sensational Danni took our group for a Cocktails Masterclass. Loads of excellent cocktails demoed then we made and consumed the same in our own wee nook. Fab platters thrown into the deal. Fab relaxed timings and Danni couldn't have been more helpful. We all agreed we'll defo make a return visit for another batch and our further upskilling. Totally do this!

We got a voucher for Buzzworks from our favourite travel agent Stewart Travel having booked a holiday from them in January. It was a nice gesture from them but I think they should choose another group to donate their largesse. We had dinner in this establishment tonight and had it not been free we would have complained. We had the starter of roasted goat’s cheese. The container for the item was roasting hot but the food inside was barely warm and the cheese was certainly not melting. Moving on to the main course, I had overcooked cod and chilli rice which was inedible because of the amount of chilli. There was a sad small piece of pak choi which totally resisted the attempts of my knife to cut it. The other main was slow cooked lamb. I tried it to see if it was an improvement on my meal, it wasn’t, there was far too much salt in the lamb and it was stringy. The one bright spot on the horizon was the staff, they were delightful, helpful and so pleasant. Even with a voucher to encourage us we will not be returning to this establishment.

Visited The Vine for a Sunday lunch with extended family and was very impressed! lovely venue, decent parking, top staff and beautiful food. We did find it a little bit on the pricey side but only a little otherwise this would have been a five star review. A special mention to the staff that looked after use nothing was too much trouble with a baby and two infants.

Food is amazibg, been extra napkins, possibly a packet of baby wipes lol

Following a visit to the Vine in Prestwick on Saturday 18th May I have been forced to give a review in the hope that the management sit up and take notice. Having had a great day out and about with my wife and elderly cousin, we had a look at the two menu's one for the bar food and one for the Vine restaurant area that the member of staff at the till area was happy to provide and we had a polite chat. Though the prices were not low we decided to treat ourselves to the Vine restaurant area. we were quickly seated at an available table and asked what drinks we would like. Up to that point we loved the look and atmosphere of the well attended restaurant which looked as though some thought and design had gone into the decor to create a unique feel and uniqueness. Sadly things began to get worse from then on in. When I looked down at the table, it had grooves in it that were absolutely filled with washed in dirt and food debris not just in one part but every groove on the table was the same. My first reaction was to get up and leave as it was not something I would accept. We called the waitress and informed her, and asked for another table, she at first told us that the other tables had been reserved but she got a senior member of staff perhaps the manager. to come and see us. I pointed out the reason and told him that I felt the table was 'Clatty' with food in the grooves. and he offered us another table. I was still for leaving but my wife who has fibromyalgia, and my cousin who is 76 asked me to stay because of the huge inconvenience it would be to up and leave then find another eatery. So I picked a table with a marble top that at least would not have food debris in the grooves from god knows when or who. Lifting our drinks which had now been delivered to the table we sat at the marble table to order our food. It is amazing how your anticipation of having a nice meal effects your appetite and instead of trying something new I opted for the pan seared sea bass which I chose as the least likely thing that could be horrible. My wife chose the churrasco harissa chicken burger, and my cousin chose the char-grilled beef burger. My slither of sea bass was cooked well, but the long stem broccoli was extremely al-dent the potatoes were overcooked probably because according to the waitress who brought me a plate that was 'Scalding' hot and said it had been under the lamp to keep it hot. My wife's chicken was ok but my cousin burger was way overcooked and burnt black so she could only manage to eat half of it. Now back to the table. Though the manager asked the waitress to wash the table we had been at. My wife who was an infection control trained nurse noticed that she merely wiped over the surface with a cloth. and no effort was made to clean the grooves of the table. In summary. All the good work in the thoughtful and unique design of the restaurant area has been let down by Very poor attention to detail on the cleanliness front. and having made a complaint we felt as if the staff's attitude was very poor and we were given a wide berth by everyone after we ordered. Cable clips in the wall left after a cable of some kind had been removed was not a good look either. The Toilets however had been tastfuly decorated and were of a higher standard than the eating area. What could have been a fond memory to round of a nice day, ended in disappointment. We did not stay for dessert which means the restaurant lost out on at least another £20 takings.

We were served by Hollie and as a couple that both work in high end hospitality we were blown away by her customer service, 21 degrees outside, her family in on another table , but still the happiest, smiliest most attentive waitress we have ever seen. Food was great, one of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had, lovely table in the sun in the window, great choice of draught beer and cocktails. But It was Hollie that got the 5 stars"

Food is good, I had a much better experience since my last visit, nice atmosphere with pleasant staff. Revisited and it's improved again, I'll be bringing guests from the US this month and I feel comfortable doing it.

French toast and bacon- very good 👍

Saturday night prices at the Vine are now equal and in places exceed the Ivy restaurant in Glasgow. Last month, during a visit to The Ivy, we enjoyed their larger fish and chips for the same price. Their "off menu" request for Afgagato was priced at £6 for ice cream with coffee compared to Vine's £8.45?? Another example of high mark-up concerns is two bao buns (plus included sides) priced at £18.45. High-end prices require exemplary service and produce. With that said, locally, the Vine is a cool venue. Its decor and vibe are excellent. The staff on Saturday were great. The bar throughput, however, was lagging behind food service. IMHO, the overpriced bao buns were excellent, as indeed was the fish and chips. The Vine sharing platter was the star with an excellent tasty selection. Ues, make hay while the sunshines, but I suspect the pricing structure will not guarantee frequent return local support.

Food is good. Seating is nice. Portion size for the price is a bit off.

Had lunch there today and it was extremely disappointing. The macaroni was very dry with very little sauce, the chicken tempura was a very poor portion, the salt and chilli chips were dripping g with oil

Huge, busy and quirky bar and restaurant. Food was good, but nothing amazing. Caters for large groups

Great bar restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, good selection of food, beer and cocktails

Fantastic place to eat , staff were as good as the food and well ill be using a lot more

We had a fantastic meal at The Vine to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday. Menu is super appealing with lots to choose from. The starters were of a very generous size & super tasty, mouth watering lemongrass skewers and pork & apple gyozas! 🥰 Yum. Main courses were also exceptional. Staff and ambiance fabulous. All in all a perfect and delightful evening. Thank you The Vine.

Actual interior of restaurant is lovely and decorated really nicely, however, coffee was awful. Mocha was stone cold and tasted like lukewarm water, definitely dont recommend. Cake was ok but very dry. Server was young boy who had no idea about anything on the menu. Better to spend your money elsewhere unfortunately.

Lovely place for breakfast. Food, service, atmosphere were all fab

The portions were very small and not worth the expensive price, if that was a main goodness knows what the lite bites would be like! No one approached us to ask if we would like dessert or coffee, we sat for ages and gave up, paid and left. Will not be back.

Was a delightful place and very welcoming .

First time in the Vine. It was genuinely lovely and I'll happily drive from Glasgow to go back. Staff are good people, informal, relaxed and fun. I had monk fish and prawn kerala curry, he had Thai chicken curry, both to die for. Next time I'll try crispy chicken bao buns. Gorgeous x

A very comfortable restaurant with great service and excellent food.

Friendly and welcoming staff, delicious food. cakes and pastry taste like home baked. Really warm and inviting decor with lots of healthy plants. A wide range of beers and spirits. Try the tennents lager, stored in gorgeous visible tanks suspended from the ceiling. #tankbeer. Highly recommended 👌

With my wife and another couple, I enjoyed a lovely late lunch after a brisk beach walk. Service was excellent, and accommodated my request for a change to the cod special: I wanted it with a green salad rather than potatoes and veg. I had a delicious well cooked fish atop a generous and toast salad. All other meals were well received and commended.

The Vine had a great atmosphere. Was very busy but the staff were attentive and service was prompt. Menu held a great variety of choices. Went with the flat iron steak. A great choice. Prices weren't cheap but neither were they too expensive considering the quality of food or service. Overall, great value.

Loughlan was very attentive, gauged the mood and was just perfect! Food good too !

Always great food and service to match

Environment was gorgeous. Staff were great. Food was really terrible. Such a shame. Such a gorgeous place. But I won’t be back . I have not had such a tasteless meal

Fantastic food and service , the Decor / design in this restaurant is stunning , the attention to detail is on point . Our food was very tasty and good value , lovely ambiance too , will definitely return when back in the area .

Welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Good service

Very nice meal with attentive staff

Just popped in for a few drinks, so I don't know what the food is like, but the restaurant/bar is beautifully decorated. The staff are great and there's a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Definitely want to come back and try a few things on the menu.

Fantastic restaurant. Beautiful food and great service. My favourite near Kilmarnock but not cheap either (£50-60 per person) if you fancy fish and a few cocktails. But it is worth it.

Best gluten free burger i have eaten in a long time.staff were amazing and very helpful with the gluten free menu.well done guys

Friendly service.....good atmosphere...and great food!!

The quality of the food was very poor - calamari starter was 4 small rings of calamari and the braised steak was basically braised fat with a small bit of meat on top of a huge plateful of chips. The pulled beef that my partner had was like string. One of the poorest meals out we have had anywhere.

Grt gluten free menu, staff where excellent, will definitely be back

Really stylish place. Food was really good.

Niece had her leather jacket stolen from here security door staff told her tough luck , went back out following day was handed another jacket that didn’t belong to her and left at that cloak room was closed so where was she supposed to keep her jacket hope the person who stole it was nice and warm on way home !!!

Warm and well maintained. Excellent food and good choice, but the service wasn't as good as usual.

One of the best places in Prestwick. Great food, amazing service and beautiful decor. Came for a light lunch. It was perfect, we shared the Mac N Cheese and chips. The Mac was delicious, creamy but crunchy too and it’s served with amazing garlic bread! Will definitely come back when in the area!
