The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Absolutely delicious food and such a warm welcome from the delightful staff especially our waiter who had only just started and had come from Peru. Sorry, I can't remember the name of our waiter but he was utterly charming and attentive. We will be back and would recommend The Grey Gull 100%

The dining experience and customer service here is absolutely dire. I ordered a vegan burger and was brought a beef burger - when I politely told the waiter that this is not what I had ordered he was argumentative and clearly annoyed. 90 minutes after ordering, both myself and my friend who had ordered a carbonara had not received our dishes, although others in our group had received their (very subpar) dishes over 30-40 minutes earlier. We went to the bar to request refunds, only to be told that they were being cooked right now, and so we could not get refunds. We were told the food would be a few minutes. A further 15 minutes later, the carbonara came out and was clearly just a microwave meal. My burger was still nowhere to be seen, so I again went to the bar to ask where it was. I was told by the same member of staff that it had just been sent out, so I went back to my table. I then sat for a further 15 minutes, waiting for this elusive vegan burger. At this point I had been waiting 2 hours. I went to the bar again and told the same staff member that I didn't even care about the burger anymore, I just wanted a refund. I was again told that it would be a few minutes, which of course at this point I didn't believe a word of. He then suggested that instead of a refund, he'd make me some drinks rather than the burger? Not free drinks mind, just drinks up to the value of the burger. Absolutely baffling honestly. Finally, a different member of staff came out and processed a refund for me. He gave me a vague apology about being understaffed. I left absolutely starving and with nowhere else to go for food. The single highlight about this disaster of an experience was the singer who appeared about half way into my long wait for a nonexistent burger - he was hilarious and kept me laughing despite my rumbling stomach. Avoid this place if you want to keep your sanity intact.

Cold food, stale beer and apathetic staff and having to clean own table after an hour. Also a manager who could've give a rats, avoid if possible.

The Hotel, restaurant and bar have all been re branded. Now the Perle Hotel bar and Eastern Med restaurant.

the staf are very friendly and the meals are very good, the outside area across from the restaurant has lovely views and it is possible to sit there with a drink

We had booked a table in the restaurant but were set up in the 'Snug' instead as there was a large party in. We were happy with that as the Snug has a better atmosphere, though is a bit dated. Our food was good, the staff were welcoming and the service efficient.

Was filling up with petrol, and this was next door...so...time for a Coffee and a Bacon Butty. 2.50 each. Quick service, surprisingly quick. Coffee was OK, but bacon was clearly pre-cooked and kept warm. Overall ? .... Adequate.

The steak was ordered, but the menu was quite limited. We enjoyed the meal, but my wife asked for a glass of house red wine, we were brought a bottle which was going to cost £26. My wife accepted it but she is not the type to complain. We were disappointed though.

Visited the Isle just to go to the Spa as the website / treatment options were the most appealing that I could see in the local area. I was looked after brilliantly by Mahi, who did my treatment and was attentive, clearly very experienced and tailored everything precisely to my needs. Definitely an asset to the hotel. I have had many Spa treatments in top hotels around the world and this experience was right up there with the best! Highly recommended.

Disgusting customer service, lady was so rude and unpleasant whilst serving us, would advise to go elsewhere, was there with my toddler grandchild who said thank you, she just turned her back on him and walked away , no way to run a business. Definitely not value for money either. Thankfully everywhere else we went in Helensburgh was so friendly and welcoming

Food was very hearty and full of flavour. It all tasted delicious. Love the fact that you could taste the freshness of ingredients as well as the feeling it was all homemade. The atmosphere is very modern, homely, clean and fresh. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!!!😊👍

Could have waited open later than 5pm and would be another choice to have dinner. Disappointed the pool closed at 5pm

we really enjoyed eating our breakfast and dinner int he conservatory , the view are stunning and made it a pleasure

Our first visit to Scotland and found the shore on one off our walks we was Staying at a cottage nearby this place is perfect for coffee and Cakes also had lunch one day very nice , hopefully see you again soon 🙂

This place is very busy place most of the time specially during dinner time. I advise advance booking. The team led by Rohit is very professional, quick and attentive. Service is great as I felt I been treated as a King. My pasta bolognaise was delicious.
