The Sugar Cube
Ayr West, South Ayrshire
04/09/2019: Lovely little coffee shop which also does meals. Fabulous Clootie Dumpling Scones are a must try and at £2.75 for a coffee and scone well worth a visit.
11/04/2017: Went there with wife, sister and (female) cousin for afternoon tea. We had a great afternoon out - and everything passed the scrutiny of my three guests - with flying colours.

Prices very reasonable. The place was busy on a Saturday lunchtime but they all seemed a happy bunch. Nice little beer garden out back. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Room 202 at Ayr College
Ayr West, South Ayrshire
02/04/2018: Loads of little samplers to add to our five star main course, made it fine dining at unbelievable value
15/10/2015: Este tiene que ser uno de los mejores lugares para comer. Aunque es un restaurante del colegio la comida y el servicio son muy buenos. Es un crédito para el personal docente que traen a los futuros chefs para disfrutar su comida

Dunure
Ayr East, South Ayrshire
03/03/2024: Dunure is such a quaint little harbour village, it has so much character and charm, not to mention the history from Robert the Bruce to Charles Rennie Macintosh and even an outlander film location, its got it all!
It's always been a favourite place of mine and we visit regularly.
31/03/2023: A pretty untouched harbour complete with a beach, used to come here as a child when living in the area. Dunure is a small village by the sea with stunning views overlooking the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig.
Parking is limited beside the harbour however there is a larger car park up near the castle ruins which is payable. Worth a stop if on the way to Culzean Castle.

The Azalea At Glenapp Castle
Girvan and South Carrick, South Ayrshire
18/03/2023: This was such a pleasant surprise. We were staying in Glenapp Castle and expected traditional fine dining in the main building, but not a Michelin-quality modern restaurant in the grounds. I was sceptical at first and had to be convinced by my partner to try this place, but I was certainly glad I did!
The atmosphere on arrival is beautiful - you have a welcome canapes and drink in a green house area with pools, fresh growing herbs and other greenery around you. It was very special. Afterwards, you are treated to a fantastic, modern cuisine dinner that is exceptional with an excellent selection of wines.
I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying in the Ballantrae area. Just lovely!

Wildings Hotel and Restaurant
Maybole, North Carrick and Coylton, South Ayrshire, 20-30£
16/11/2021: Booked Wildings for family birthday dinner on 13/11/2021. Several of the party had previously dined here more than once,with excellent reports regarding the standard of cuisine and staff helpfulness. Unfortunately our experience on this occasion was the complete opposite-in common with another recent review. We waited in the foyer to be shown our table-a male member of staff walked past and barked ‘ name?’ at us- we told him, and he gestured with his head saying ‘through there’ towards a table, without accompanying us to the table. This set the tone for a very poor dining experience.There were long delays during the meal- our empty starter plates were still not cleared away over an hour after we sat down, and over 20 minutes after we had all finished eating. Several staff members were sullen and uncommunicative and no-one asked how the starter and main course were at any point. The fish and chips main course dish was not even infant portion sized. The food in general was of a very good standard, despite the long delays.When one of the waitresses was asked politely if they were short staffed, in view of all the delays, she appeared surprised and said that there were 12 staff on,suggesting that there was no excuse for the delays.One of our party had to speak to the manager, Sonia, before the end of the meal, to complain. She seemed aware of at least some of the problems, but her grudging apology and offer of a free drink for the diners did little to assuage the general dissatisfaction with the evening-in fact it had been hoped that the final bill would be adjusted to reflect this, but this was not the case. We did not pursue this on the night as the staff member taking payment was so apologetic and understanding- she had heard the original complaint and did not seem surprised, suggesting to us this is not an uncommon problem here.The young drinks waiter was a pleasure to deal with and so polite, and is completely exempt from any criticism, which we told him in person on the night.A tremendous disappointment overall, and one we will not repeat any time soon.
07/11/2021: Only just getting round to writing this review unfortunately.I had booked a table for my mother in law's 60th birthday over a month before we were due to dine. Obviously this was during covid restrictions so I was aware we would be at two separate tables.Having not seen family for months due to lockdown this was the first opportunity we had to be as a family together and for a very special occasion.My sister in law had dined a couple of weeks before us with a large group and unfortunately they were sat with their backs to one another and I did not want this to happen on this occasion as it was such a special day for my mother in law. I phoned the restaurant about 1pm before we were due to dine at 7pm to check that our tables were next to each other and I specifically explained that this was because it was a special birthday and there would be no point going if we weren't able to speak to each other. The staff on the phone were very unhelpful and wanted me off the phone as quick as they could but assured me that yes the tables would be next to each other.7pm came and we arrived at the restaurant to be shown to two tables next to each other, but in booths with a wall separating us!The only booths in the whole restaurant! We immediately raised our concerns and disappointments at this, explaining that we had specifically phoned earlier to check that this would not be the case. All we got from Sonia (general manager) was 'sorry' but no - sorry but let me double check what we can do to help/make it better/rejig some tables around. Just sorry, get on with it.My mother in law expressed her utter disappointment and sadness at this to Sonia as half of her family were isolated at another table not even in view when all she wanted was for us all to be together and able to speak to each other during dinner. If we had known this was going to be the situation then we would have booked somewhere else. My mother in law was crying she was so upset but all Sonia could say was 'yeh I'm sorry about this'.I glanced over at unoccupied tables next to us and intimated that we could sit there instead as there was two tables of 5 next to each other, to which sonia replied that they were for a group of 8 that were arriving! My partner expressed his disbelief at this and asked what was going to be done to compensate us to which Sonia replied "I'm not listening to this anymore" and walked away!!None of us have ever experienced such level of disrespect and rudeness in a restaurant ever, let alone by a general manager. This woman should never be in a customer service position. She obviously doesn't have the capacity to deal with criticism or the ability to problem solve. The next day I got a phone call from a junior staff member who offered an insincere apology without further explanation. This further soured our experience. Having read similar reviews it appears that under Sonia's management, she continues to let this once successful restaurant down.

The Waterfront
Ayr West, South Ayrshire
02/09/2021: Wish it would allow no stars given as this restaurant was one of the worst I have experienced in along while, staff telling us food is not available between 3pm and 5pm to which we said we could wait and just have a few drinks out in sunshine to then having other people served before us after waiting 2 hours, staff with attitude problems when we asked if we could get served with one member of staff saying it wont be until about 7pm until we can serve you? different staff members telling us different things then only to speak to a manager to what we had to approach him to ask what was going on?he had also had stinking attitude after explaining what had happened to him! He was very rude and lacked good customer service skills with no apology for the staff's incompetence whatsoever. This was meant to be a birthday celebration and a pregnant girl was present and we ended up walking out on the arrogant staff! We will not be back and neither will any friends of family
31/08/2021: An excellent experience from start to finish both in terms of quality of the delicious food and friendly efficient service received from the staff.
