Popped in for lunch with some friends hoping for a quick soup and sandwich. Took us just under 2 hours! Although there were only a couple of tables with customers, we sat unattended at our table for a full 15mins before a waitress eventually came over and asked us what we wanted. We requested a menu! She brought it back and we then waited another 10mins for her to come back and take our order. After a lengthy wait, the food arrived. Carrot and ginger soup was absolutely tasteless. We asked for salt and she pointed us in the direction of the counter top. Sandwiches were really good thankfully. Having given up on a quick bite, we decided to order coffee. Again, a lengthy wait. Staff seemed friendly enough but very young and definitely untrained. Just a quick crash course on basic customer service would be a huge improvement. Too much competition in Helensburgh for this type of service. Hope they improve as good choice of vegetarian and vegan food on offer.

Nice place with a refined but friendly feel. Food to a high standard and good portions, unexpectedly affordable too in comparison with just about anywhere we'd ever eaten. Recommended. Update, should have said before. Wife had absolutely chronic shits around 20 minutes after leaving. Shocking.

We had a table of 17 at the Commodore last Saturday for a first communion lunch, and we were looked after perfectly by Eric and the rest of the team. We'd pre-ordered, and got asked just a couple of simple clarifications, to make sure the order had been interpreted correctly, then everyone got exactly what they'd asked for. The service was nice and quick without being rushed, and the food was great. Thanks to the staff and management at the Commodore for helping to make my daughter's big day very special.

Dog friendly, that's the reason for the two stars, it's not the food or the service. Scamming the soft drinks, glass of coke/IrnBru was half ice with massive chunks taking up most of the space, that amount of ice is whisper close to trading standards reporting territory at £3.50 for a small glass. Classic Caesar salad was mediocre, the pre-prepped from M&S is much better at half the price, these guys want £12, which is way over priced, adding chicken costs another £6 which is a scandal. Pan seared squid was perfectly cooked, all THREE bits of it, however it came swimming in chilli oil which would be OK if they gave you maybe a slice of dough bread to mop it up, but nope that's an extra £5 again and a bigger scandal than the added chicken. Pricing is comical considering the food is middling and the service is just basic, for these prices I expect my cutlery set for me not handed to me in a paper napkin. Clearly they're trying to capture the Loch Lomond tourism money which which might work in high season but not May. Overall poor value for middling food and basic service, but if that's what you're ok with just go to Wetherspoons and at least get cheap drinks.

I am continuing my trip around Helensburgh's restaurants and takeaways. I think I need my own food critique job! 😁 Have always avoided Magic Wok as it doesn't have great ķèrb appeal. However, I saw the other reviews and most seemed positive. I always judge a Chinese by it's chicken and sweetcorn soup, just to keep a consistent order. Was very nice. Chicken cashew nuts were a little salty but perfectly edible. Honey chicken was a little dry but my fault as I didn't realise it didn't come with a sauce. Rice lovely and complimentary prawn crackers. Would definitely order again.

Been going here for around 6-7 years. The food is incredible. Best takeaway Indian I’ve visited. It’s a 30 min drive to collect so I always ask the girls who take the orders to double check everything is there. The girls are super nice especially in a very busy environment. Always spend around £50 each visit and always worth it. Proper food from this place. Get a proper curry from this place and you be disappointed. Tandoori mix grill is the best.
