The best restaurants in Helensburgh and Lomond South Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Place appeared to be closed up. Details on TripAdvisor wrong went mid week and it does not look like it's been open any time recently.

My aunt recommended this place as I was taking her out for lunch and I had never been. I ordered soup and a main course and she ordered a main course and a dessert. After a wait of about 20 mins the waitress arrived with our 2 mains. I told her I was still waiting for my soup. She took my mains away and I told my aunt to start eating before her food got cold. Another 10 minutes later my soup arrived which was in all fairness, piping hot and delicious. Then another 10 minute wait for my own mains to reappear which was stone cold, obviously just left from its previous visit. THEN another waitress appeared to tell me it was 'my fault' for not asking for the soup to be delivered first as they serve the soup there after the main. Never in my 70 odd years have I ever been to a restaurant where the soup is served after the mains. Also noticed the couple on the table next to us were delivered another tables food. The tables were not allocated an individual waitress and they appeared to just go around the various tables at random. It was totally disorganised and to be told the error was 'my fault' was outrageous. I for sure will never return or recommend and my poor aunt was mortified as this place was her idea. I checked my receipt and this whole debacle took around an hour and a half for a snack lunch. Be warned.

I’m surprised to see the food so well reviewed for this place. While the setting in indisputably spectacular, the food is well below standard. Greasy fish and chips, slow service and high prices. I know this is on an island and therefore difficult and expensive to source supplies but there’s no excuse for the poor quality of the food served. It really is Wetherspoons standard. The pictures of fine dining food on the Tripadvisor page are not representative of what is served. Come for a drink but eat elsewhere.

Great place to get food to go hot and cold filled rolls. Soup, wraps, burgers and cakes. Hot and cold drinks. Made fresh to order. Plus newspapers, essentials. Friendly staff always happy to chat.

Didn't really sleep well in this hotel, very average bedding, room without very little charm for a hotel establishment. This stopover was rather depressing (the only merit, their restaurant where you eat correctly and the kindness of the staff)...

Seated promptly and then promptly ignored at our table for at least 10 mins. Had to prompt someone to serve us. Coffee and cake was ok, lemon drizzle was meh! Over and done with in less time we waited to be served. A lovely place mind you and servers were nice, but style over substance. Unlikely to be back.

It's a much better place since Amanda and her team took over. Be sure to stop by through the winter months and support her.

Many thanks to Mark who continues to be an outstanding member of the team here Nothing too much trouble Courteous professional and without doubt the most proficient staff member here Others seem switched off at times and not sure of products they are selling Perhaps Mark could do some training with them

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!!!😊👍
