Tontine Hotel in Inverclyde

Food was lovely...unlike certain member of staff ...

A friend,here on holiday from Wales,treated seven of us to Afternoon Tea at the Tontine ( Sadly, recommended by me) At £14 per head,it was a very poor show . Prosecco not included. Meagre fillings in sandwiches,disappointing cake selection.....and poorly presented. We had to ask for cream ( and more jam) Not everyone had a plate at their place setting. Never again!

Was at a funeral & service was great hot tea and refilled immediately

The receptionist is very helpful. Food is amazing 👏 good quality on lunch. Breakfast no soo good, eggs is limited I think. Rooms are clean every day, but ... need more look for maintenance because is soo poor. Bathrooms are bad condition on old part, and some walls are falling apart in bedrooms. Floor is loud, and heard people next room because is hole between rooms door. Hotel is good for stay but price is little to much for one night.

Popped in for a cuppa and warm scone. Lovely staff. Lovely hotel and bar area. Nice toilets. Clean and very friendly.

Where the forbodulon commanders are staying before the invasion of Earth for their precious trees, they will soon learn how they took them for granted and no matter how expensive, you can not live off diamonds

Great nites sleep breakfast gud worth the money breakfast staff very helpful bar welcoming would stay again

Having just came from my Dads funeral last Thursday at 10 am, we decided to use The Tontine Hotel for morning tea afterwards. We were greeted at the front door by a young lady who led us straight into the large function room. What a service we got. Very relaxed, plenty of beautiful cakes, pastries, sandwiches and sausage rolls, even veggies ones too. Endless Tea and Coffee for everyone who came. There was no rush at all. We didn’t leave until after 2pm and even got boxes to take scones etc away with us. Keep up the good work McNelis Family, excellent attentive service as always. Thank You x

We were visiting Greenock and took 3 rooms over a weekend. The rooms are functional but probably could do with freshening to the standard of the rest of the hotel.We ate in the restaurant and had a evening meal which proved to be very good and we appreciated the 1/2 portions of several of the dishes served. The service of the hotel staff was excellent and we all enjoyed our stay.

Great experience staying at the hotel

Did not stay over. Went to the tribute act, Freddie Mercury. It was a great night. Central for the bus, train service.

Afternoon tea was shocking. Cheap Squeezy cheese, bread not buttered. No clotted cream for scones. The “cakes” were tiny and only 1 each (for 2 people) which meant 3 tiny bits per person. Certainly didn’t look like their advertised pictures online. They knew we were coming and hadn’t defrosted any clotted cream???? Bread still had crusts! The staff were pleasant enough, hence 2 stars not one. Given the cost this was certainly NOT value for money.

Party Time, great time had by all

I got the recipe from a Spanish website for tapas. The phrase Pil Pil is from the Basque area of Spain and is synonymous with dishes cooked this way (oil,garlic and chilli) it is also onomatopoeia Pil Pil sounds like the sizzling that takes place when the garlic and Prawns are cooked away in the hot oil.

Greenock’s best hotel, locals use it for many types or events. Perfect location when visiting Greenock.

Fabulous building. The rooms are a little sparse and showing their age but they're clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful - but the food is amazing!! We had the Haggis bon bons with turnip and a whiskey sauce followed by pork belly with stuffed cabbage and potato croquettes! Delicious!

The chef wants to go back to a recipe book as he does not know how Prawns Pil Pil are prepared I will put a picture of the recipe on at the end. I is not definitely what I had on my last visit. I got prawns in a sweet chili Sause possibly of of a bottle.

Great hotel with friendly staff.

Visited for dinner and the food and service was excellent.

Very disappointed. Ordered Pil Pil prawns as starter which is totally wrongly descibed as having been prepared with garlic etc. It is actually prawns covered in sweet chilli sauce, I guess from a jar. AVOID if you are familiar with this dish properly prepared.

Prawns Pil Pil were not as they should be made. The chef should look at the recipe.

Having used this hotel for many years and local to our house we went along tonight 28, Oct for evening dinner After our starter mains arrived my wife s salmon and my gammon steak My wife said her salmon was undercooked and the waitress apologised and removed it to have it replaced By the time a fresh salmon appeared my food was finished I ate alone, now my wife would be doing the same,no chance as the second meal was as bad as the first Totally unacceptable ,not just once but twice having to return a meal!!! Certainly apologies were tendered and a complimentary drink delivered , a quiet Saturday evening ruined

Having left not do positive feedback in the past I decided to give The Tontine another chance and wow was I surprised. The menu is much improved and I can only describe the evening meal we had as super.

Wasn't impressed at all. Staff too formal for a relaxing family meal. No atmosphere. Food very average.

We were staying with a friend in Greenock and was invited for the Festive meal. We ordered our starter and first course. The Salmon came and was excellent after they had cleared our plates we sat for some time and a member of staff came and asked us what we wanted for dessert. We said we would appreciate our mane course first. I ordered the Lamb Shank which was supposed to have Mashed Potatoes with Butter Beans, well They forgot to put any Butter beans in the Mash. The sprouts were cold and the dish was taken away when I told the waiter. When it came back the Lamb was tough and not at all what I expected. We had our plate cleared and was asked after about 10 minutes if we would like to have coffee to which we replied we would like our dessert first. I ordered the Apple Strudel which came out almost cold and by this time I was getting to feel sorry for our host as it was definitely after the starter a really bad experience. We were told on more than once they only had 1 chef on duty and had a big party in the Garden Room. I don't think this a a good reason for them to give Bad Service and 2 Bad courses to myself and another member of our party.

We visited the Tontine for afternoon tea, visited 1808 for afternoon tea and also visited 1808 for cocktails. Each visit was perfect and the food and cakes were fantastic. The cocktails are excellent too.

We called in here twice during our stay with friends in Greenock, I will say I was very happy both times. On the first occasion I had the Gammon with Pineapple and Chips. When it came it looked very good and tasted good. On the second occasion I had the Fish and Chips this also was very good.

Attended for lunch for the second time this week as we were pleased with the macaroni cheese we had last time. We were both disappointed with the lasagne on this occasion. The dish was dried out with no gravy at all with the minced beef and the bechamel sauce, for what there was, was only on the top layer. The portions appeared to have been reheated with the result that the top two layers were hard and inedible. This must have been noticed by the person plating the meals before service. The saving grace was the pleasant and friendly staff. Overpriced for third rate food. The portions were pretty meagre too. Management should take note.

Food was great, lovely surroundings and staff were fab. Photos don’t do it justice. We will be back for sure x

Well decorated, clean hotel. Mediocre food. Noisy at night, floorboards creeks, poor outside lighting from the car park, no lifts to bedrooms.

Happened to be passing on our way to have lunch in town but decided to try the lunches here. We’ve had dinner in the restaurant several times and have generally been pleased with the food so we thought we’d give the new cocktail bar a try. So glad we did! My husband opted for the chicken burger, which he said was delicious, and I had a tuna toasted sandwich, which was yummy. We both had lattes which were lovely too. We were served by a friendly and welcoming young barman. Will definitely make a point of returning as there was quite a choice on the menu.

Probably because we were a tour Basic menu and small portions Can't comment if staying as individual travel

Beautiful place, whilst being slowly redecorated to modern taste this is a lovely hotel with good food and friendly service. Visited many times, recently for a family funeral tea and we were very well looked after in a discreet and respectful way. Thank you. Also less expensive than many other eateries around.

We hired one of the rooms for a joint birthday party (afternoon). The staff were very helpful in the run up to the event. The room was private and location was easy for people to get to. The room was accessible for those with walking impairments but was a bit far to walk. Overall would recommend for any local gathering or event.

We love the Tontine Hotel so much great meals and great staff and the place was nice and warm we really want to come back here again and love there post pictures on Instagram and I hope you love this place 👍😊

The tontine is a beautiful building and hotel come restaurant with bars etc it has been in Greenock for many years. A lot of families use the tontine for family functions and funerals and the staff are very accommodating and friendly, you can also have a lovely meal and drinks and is reasonable price wise. Very central to Greenock town centre and approx a 10 minute walk to the main shopping centre, would definately reccomend the rooms which are spotless and really nice. Bit pricey but this is one of the main hotels in Greenock.

Great historic building ideal for weddings nice selection of food as well as wine beers but just a little expensive personally they to have theme nights as well ax cocktail bar to side of building.

The food was very good but if you want a steak that isn’t rare make sure you ask for a well-done steak.

The Tontine Hotel is a Greenock institution, a well loved local landmark. The proprietors have a very hands on approach to management. Service is friendly and quick, food is fresh and varied. The hotel offers all levels of catering from mid-morning coffee to banquets. A lot of money has been spent to good effect in renovating the premises and engaging the function suite. All in all, an excellent and trusted hotel and restaurant.

This hotel represents real value for money but with great quality.

My son had his wedding in the Tontine and one of the main courses was lamb, a meat you can hardly go wrong with. When I looked at the plates at the end of the meal, all I could see were piles of half chewed lamb and I knew why, as I had also had to remove the tough meat from my mouth and leave it on the side of my plate. I have also attended many funerals there and they have an awful habit of putting the cakes on the table and once everyone has finished with the cakes and sandwiches they appear with hot sausage rolls which, of course, no one wants having just eaten a cake. My niece complained and pointed out that it would really be a good idea to serve the sausage rolls before the cakes and she was told that that was how they had always done it and would continue to do it that way. Most folk are leaving as they are bringing in the sausage rolls, crazy! Generally speaking, this hotel is a hit or a miss, which is a great pity, as the facilities are good and the bar area and other function rooms have a great atmosphere, with a few changes and a higher standard of catering, it would be just great. I am attending another funeral there this week and I will be most interested to see if their routine has changed.....I hope so.

The Tontine- is a beautiful hotel. Great to stay if you are on vacation. Great menu selection. Also great for weddings and other celebrations and high tea.

Had a family dinner recently and was very disappointed. This is my experience and some others in the group thought it was 'ok'. After ordering everyone received their starter except me. About 15 mins later after reminding the wait staff I received mine which was meant to be Blackened Cajun salmon skewer. There was no blackened anything and it had been sprinkled with some sort of spice. Worse of all was that the middle pieces on the skewer were completely uncooked. These were left on the plate and I wasn't asked if there was a problem with the food, which clearly there was as the uncooked food was there for all to see. It was clear that they had forgotten the order and tried to muddle something together at the last minute.

There was 3 of us we had 2 rooms , we was travelling up for family funeral the staff was lovely very helpful ,we booked table for dinner in the evening which was lovely waiting staff couldn't be any more helpful , my hubby had steak cooked perfect he really enjoyed it , myself and my mum had the fish which was equally as nice , hotel its self it gorgeous very old but lovely features very much looked after the right way , I requested a iron and it s waiting for me when we arrived room it's self was maybe small but it had everything we needed ,bed was very comfortable bathroom was nice too little extras as shampoo shower gel also hairdryer in room was very impressed thanks again

wir eine schnelle übernachtung ist es mit 72 gbp für zwei personen ganz ordentlich.

Hotel prices, but far from hotel quality of service or timings. Last orders for food by 1900 but waited 1 hour for the food to be served..... it’s unfortunate that another table ordered before us..... was what the staff response when asked is this was the norm of this establishment. Far from good, especially when chips are served after rice is requested!

In recent times this hotel has been refurbished to a high standard , I visit regularly with some friends for a light lunch in the lounge area and always find the service to be welcoming,helpful and efficient , Our food -soups/sandwiches/baked potatoes etc is always freshly prepared to our liking . I have also visited the hotel for a more formal lunch function recently and was very pleased with the meal we had on that occasion . A family member recently stayed in the hotel when attending a family function locally and commented how nice the hotel was . I have not jet visited the new cocktail bar 1808 but I have heard good things and look forward to trying it out .

We have been to the Tontine a number of times over a number of years. The last time we had a bar meal and one of us had the scampi which was well over cooked. We mentioned it to the staff and got a non committal answer. The friends we stay with told us they have got a new chef and menu. We decided to give it a second chance and took our friends for dinner in the restaurant. I will say the starters we had were very good, when it came to the main courses 2 of the four ordered Breaded Haddock which came very over cooked and the Fish was very dry. One of the two managed to eat it just. The other one was sent back to the kitchen as it was inedible. When the replacement meal came out it was excellent. We were surprised that no member of staff came to ask how the meal was. We did ask the waitress why the first meal could not have been like the second one. Her reply was that's a question I can't answer. Unfortunately having two bad experiences it will be a long time before we go and have a meal in the Tontine again. There are a lot of good restaurants in the area to choose from so will take our custom else where.

A lovely room and very friendly service. There were 7 of us, everyone else was really happy with their meals. I unusually picked the clanger, the steak sandwich was really dry and chewy and came with gravy! My family enjoyed the salmon in Parma ham, goats cheese salad, chicken breast and scampi.

Called into The Tontine for an early dinner and was delighted we chose this venue. We were greeted with smiles and helpful staff from the moment we stepped in. The restaurant was very quiet because it was quite early. The menu is quite varied and all four of us were more than happy with our selections. The meals were well presented and ample portions. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Good value Sunday lunch served here. Service was patchy and ignored from time to time. Plenty of staff around often doing nothing but chatting amongst themselves. The place was very busy with several functions going on. The hotel is very nicely decorated.

Good food , excellent service. Never disappointed. Perhaps more fish and salad options for those trying to eat healthy😀

We booked an afternoon tea in 1808. The surroundings are beautiful and the staff were attentive. Sandwiches and cakes were a bit of a let down. Scones were solid and sandwich fillings were very basic. Cocktails however are amazing - especially the French martini and jolly rancher!

Surprisingly good food. Eating downstairs in the bistro/cocktail bar was better than eating in the lounge.

The Tontine, in its day, was a very 'classy', almost prestigious place to dine. I would congratulate the present owners for the sensitive way in which they have expanded the Hotel, and brought the building back to its former glory with very tasteful decoration.

I have not been to the restuarant for a meal, but I did attend a couple of private functions there, in the Adam suite and the Garden suite (with french doors leading to a small patio where pictures can be taken and the suites cater for 80 to 100 people. These suites are recently refurbished, are well decorated and have a nice cosy, warm ambience. There are a selection of private function menus to be chose from ranging from approx £18 to £25 per head., providing a range of starters, a selection of mains, at the higher end including rump steak, and a selection of sweets, plus tea or coffee! These mass servings are very well co-ordinated and efficient, no-one is rushed but there is no waiting on subsequent dishes. The food is well prepared, presented nicely, is piping hot and is very tasty. The staff is always pleasant, helpful and efficient!

We have stayed at the Tontine Hotel many times and it has always been a good experience, however our last visit was very disappointing. The bed was extremely hard, the rooms excessively hot and the hotel was extremely noisy until 3am. While I understand there was a function, the hotel should have adequate sound separation. We could clearly hear a normal volume conversation in the next room. This was in the extension and we have previously stayed in the main hotel so the standards were well below our previous experience. It also wasn't possible to open a window to cool the room as there were staff smoking and talking loudly outside the window until 1am. We will not be returning.

You can't go wrong with the Tontine. Staff are always so professional and courteous.

We have had both bar meals and private parties here and have always found the food to be excellent.The staff are so helpful we go here regularly

Точнее, наверное, бар - до ресторана не дотягивает. В радиусе 500 метров самое приличное заведение, остальные совсем печаль-тоска. Ничего выдающегося, стандартный набор еды. Два супа, два рибая и 4 пива обошлись в полтос. Очень шумно, местные здесь отжигают.

He ido a la asociación tontina en muchas ocasiones, principalmente con la familia. La comida es normalmente de buena calidad y a un precio razonable. Esta vez no fue la excepción. Tuve la sopa del día (tomate y cebolla roja), que era preciosa. Volveré.

Booked this hotel due to it's proximity to Greenock golf club where we were attending the function. Arrived around 4pm very easy check in, nice room very clean including shower and bath which was good. 2 single beds which I booked accidentally and I actually found the beds rather uncomfortable.Staff were very friendly with the exception of a young man in the bar when we returned to the hotel about 12.30am and decided on a nightcap. It was made obvious to us that it was an inconvenience and when my wife requested coffee she was bluntly told that the machine was switched off although it was displaying lights on it. Rather spoiled a pleasant evening. Breakfast next day was very good, plenty of choice, unlimited amounts and all cooked to a good standard. Check out was easy and speedy. A well located hotel for the ocean liner terminal should you ever be leaving from Greenock.

I visited the restaurant on Friday 23rd June whilst visiting my 95 year old aunt as I have done for the last few years. She goes there with her family and feels comfortable there. She ordered the soup of the day (creamed veg) which she said was nice and I had the pate which also was also nice. We both settled on the TBone steak for mains which came on a (fancy?) wooden platter and I requested that my have hers served on a plate which they did no bother. BUT my steak though cooked as request medium was extremely stringy and I could only eat about half of the meat, and my aunt got through only about 25% of hers as it would not cut even though we had steak knives (I even tried to cut some up for her but with no luck) This was all bad enough but when they cleared the table I asked if they could show the chef and for him to let me know hi comments - after that nobody wanted to talk to us again, as I did not want my aunt upset we paid the bill and left. Also the lady on the table next to us has ordered a dessert with fresh cream which had chives in it. I will find somewhere with proper manners next time I am in Greenock.

We wanted to stay at a Hotel near the terminal as we were going to meet some friends off a cruise. This busy Hotel was perfect and has recently had a number of up dates.The staff are all very friendly and helpful, the bedrooms modern and clean with WiFi included. Downside it is basically a very old listed building so expect lot of little staircases so if you have problems make sure you speak to reception before your stay to ensure you can make best use. As I said a very busy Hotel with it seems receptions most days so if you want to eat in make sure you book.

Booked a table weeks ago for lunch today at 1pm. Turned up and were greeted by 3 members of staff looking at us blankly. They had no record of our booking and said they were fully booked and not taking bookings. We reiterated numerous times that our booking was made weeks ago. They were not interested. I asked if we just had to leave and was told yes. Absolutely disgraceful. We have been countless times for large family get togethers over the years but will not be back.

Have just returned from a two night stay here, this is our first time visiting the area so didn't know what to expect, The hotel was first class for us, lovely and clean, friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you, The Scottish breakfast was plentiful and saw us through till an evening meal. Our double room was quite big with on suite bathroom consisting of a lovely powerful shower and fluffy white towels,small television and plenty of hanging and draw space.Our room overlooked the courtyard at the back, again the room was spotlessly clean, couldn't fault this hotel and if visiting the area again would definatly stay here.

Spent a night at this hotel to go and see a group at the Albany theatre which was only a short walk away! A lovely very clean hotel, with very friendly staff. Breakfast was nice with plenty of food to choose from! If visiting Greenock again, my friend and I will definitely stay at this lovely hotel!

The restaurant has a good atmosphere with helpful staff and there was no urgency to vacate the table. The food was also hot and delicious.

Really nice place with good age group and clientele of people musi from band to many vices was fab will definetly be back for a visit

Husband and I had an impromptu lunch at 1808 restaurant. Excellent soup and sandwich choices. Staff were very attentive but not intrusive. Place was quite empty but the restaurant is fairly new. It won't be long before this place fills up once word gets out!

Lovely choice of menu for lunch, ranging from simple sandwiches to larger hot meals. Good service and lovely surroundings to enjoy coffee or drinks without feeling rushed.

60 th birthday meal in dining room , table set up very nicely, had lovely meal, service very good and staff very attentive. hotel recently decorated , rooms are lovely. moved on to new cocktail bar which was great. will be stunning in summer

Christmas ladies enjoying a Wee catch up xx food and wine , service and staff excellent xxx enjoying cocktails at the new 1808

Love the atmosphere , the food and the staff are so attentive . Tried the new bar downstairs 1808 and that is also brill

Visited the restaurant of the Tontine Hotel today with friends and had a very enjoyable lunch. There was a very good menu at reasonable prices and although staff were friendly and helpful we were left to enjoy our food and conversation. The restaurant was cold when we arrived and we asked for a heater to be put on which was done immediately. Couldn't fault it in any way.

It was amazing to see the care this group received and the excellent cuisine. Could not have done better.

I took my Mum here for a late lunch. Both of us had steak pie from the bar menu. This was delicious. The service was good and prompt. Good value with no complaints.

When you first pull up you start to question why did I book this place. Then you go inside and start to realize why you booked it. From the nice people working at the front desk to the quaint way this place is laid out. The only draw back is no elevator/lift to get to the upper floors. And when you walk down the hall the floors do squeak but what do you expect from a Hotel this old. The rooms are very nice, beds sooo nice was easy to fall asleep. The restaurant has great food for good prices. Only thing is you get so much good food your eyes might be bigger then your stomach. Go down the steps outside and you can walk right into town. Museum is almost right across the street. Easy distance to walk or drive down to the banks of River Clyde. Staff was outstanding and always very nice and easy to talk with. Well worth staying here.

i know that people host after parties here for funerals to weddingsand they always look after their guests the tontine is a great place to stay so i have heard

this is a great venue very tranquil good food and a tranquil setting great for lunch and dinner partys and weddings

Visited here for a wedding. The renovations were just completed in the big hall and it looked lovely. Service was good for such a large crowd, food was also good. Out of town visitors enjoyed their stay.

I've been a customer of the lounge for a long time, but last night's visit was fairly poor. The chips were cold, the macaroni was tasteless and very small. chips and salad sides were served in little tall dishes, making them very difficult to season. Wine wasn't chilled properly (to be fair this is a long term issue here and nothing new this evening). Then to top it off the bill was wrong. The staff were difficult to get hold of, which can be normal here too, but I normally put up with the service because I've enjoyed my food and the atmosphere. As a business which is trying to grow and open more facilities shortly I hope they can fix these issues.

Arrived and everything was great from checking in to checking out the staff went above and beyond the rooms all clean and modern

We were on a cruise and docked at Greenock for the day and wanted to try a local eating place so we happened upon the Tontine Hotel and they were still serving lunch. We greatly enjoyed a nice lunch and some beer. The waitress and bar staff were very nice and helpful to us. My wife tried Hagis (?) and liked it. I didn't venture that far but did enjoy the entire lunch experience.

This has to be the worst hotel I have ever been too, we went to this hotel as a funeral party, we where told byThe manager lorna dochertie that they were no longer going to serve drink as we have been in long enough, when we asked for menus to order food we were told no, you have been in here since 1pm that is long enough and we are not going to serve you any food, the compassion from the hotel on an occasion like this is ridiculous, we will not be returning, we will also be letting relatives and friends know this is not an establishment that should be used for any occasions as the staff have no compassion, I am extremely upset with the way the staff have treated us on this sad occasion and we will never return to this establishment again, and everyone should know that that this is not a hotel that should be visited for any occasion.

Local family run business. Staff are all well presented and friendly. Great selection of food at very good prices. Rooms are quiet and clean. A popular and busy hotel with holiday makers and locals ensures a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Good public transport close by. Fantastic value

I was one of the organisers of the event on Sunday.The reason the service was a little slow was because a lot of people wanted special dietary meals which had not been preordered. The staff were spoken to in a very discourteous and ill mannered way.The meal was not £25. The event included a glass of wine on arrival. A three course meal. Tea coffee and home made tablet. A Piper. Entertainment from local pupils. One of the best guest speakers in Scotland. A gift from the list organisers. Programmes etc.All FOR £25 !!!!! The Management of the hotel and the organisers appreciate feedback but do not think the way to do this was by social media !This is a friendly family run hotel who provide a wonderful service to all of their customers and are a very repected organisation in our local community.

Friendly courteous staff and friendly atmosphere at Lasses Lunch on 15th May. Some people were not happy with their meal however the staff did everything they could to assist those with dietary requirements who had not advised the hotel or organisers in advance. This held the proceeding up a wee bit however the management and staff dealt with the situation courteously and efficiently.

Attended a lunch with 130 others on a Sunday. The meal was nothing short of shocking, cool soup allegedly Red Roast Pepper, clearly tomato soup with a few grains of black pepper!!I had a ham salad, well that's what the menu said in reality it was processed ham, salad leaves and cold chips with some potato salad. I had to request a dressing and packets of mayonnaise appeared. Pavlova (oh no it wasn't) followed. No alternative I was advised, I complained further and received biscuits and cheese.The service was shoddy, only four waitresses serving and usually one plate at a time. The meal was an hour late in starting and we waited 45 minutes between courses.This meal was £25. Not worth anything like it, daylight robbery in my opinion.None of my company were pleased with the meal or the service, indeed no one will ever visit this hotel again. The least the hotel could do was refund the organisers.

Great local hotel both for tourists and locals. Presently being refurbished. Popular venue for weddings and funerals.

The rooms here are comfortable, the bathrooms modern. Good value for money. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. I requested some skimmed milk and the receptionist called one of the staff who was on his / her way in to get it for me - exceptional personal service.

The do Dinner but only at the weekends now which is a pity as not everyone has a weekend celebration.The standard of meal and service is second to none . Highly recommended. I would have given 5 stat for the restaurant was open 7 nights

Well used by families for the passing of loved ones. There are not a lot of options. It is also used by local groups as a meeting place well known throughout Inverclyde.

Good reception with polite, helpful staff. Room was of a good standard and seemed fresh and new. My wife and I booked dinner having read recent reviews. The food was exceptional and the staff could not have been more helpful. This is a great hotel. Not sure what the official star rating is but the standards are very high.

My husband treated me to a Valentine's meal in the tontine and I have to say the food was excellent. We arrived and seated promptly and given a complimentary glass of bubbly. It was a 3 course set menu for £19.95 great value considering how delicious the meal was , I picked the steak and my husband the pork belly....yum but the desserts stole the show!!! Service was attentive and staff extremely friendly we will definitely be back

First time trying the tontines new menu and wasn't disappointed will deffo be back soon food was great , atmosphere was great and the service was great , a huge improvement from my last visit last year !

We used to visit the Tontine hotel regularly for tea at the weekends, it was always great, never a disappointing meal. Recently the menu has changed, as have the staff and it is nowhere as good as it used to be. We will not be visiting again after this evenings visit. It's a real shame.

Been going to this place for as long as I can remember . Food good . Staff are also very pleasant. If your in the area then definitely give it a try

Has the misfortune to eat here last Friday. Notices on entry doors advised that only the Christmas set menu was available. There was a party night in full swing in the main hall. We only wanted to sit in the lounge bar area so this as not a problem. Our order was taken approx 15minutes before the end of service. The meal started well, the lentil soup was delicious, the melon nice and the hot smoked salmon plentiful. It went downhill from there. Three of our party ordered turkey, one was having braised steak (£2 extra). Portion sizes were very small, served with a handful of veg and ONE piece of roast potato. We complained to our waitress who informed us that we knew we were ordering the set menu and nobody else had complained! We asked for more potato.....she reluctantly came back with a small bowl with FIVE pieces of almost burnt roasties between the four of us. Dessert was a disappointment too.......two of us had Christmas Pudding with brandy custard - it was a very thin slice of pud and about two dessert spoonsful of the sauce. The other two in the party had the home made shortbread option, again the portion size was extremely small. Again we spoke to the waitress who said, that's the way it's bought in! So much for home made. Don't get me wrong, what we had was tasty enough but despite not being big eaters (all women) we could have done with bigger portions. Lord help us of a hairy assed man was served that size of meal. It was not a cheap meal and, had the portions been a bit bigger, would have been reasonable value, given the time of year. Overall, very disappointing performance from an old favourite

The food is very good and the service first class, I eat in the Tontine every Tuesday at lunchtime with my fellow Rotary members and the staff are great.The bed rooms are smart and well maintained, the lounge is comfortable with a good bar and the best latte coffee anywhere.At present there is a great deal of alterations in progress but they do not cause any problems.
