The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in North Ayrshire South West Scotland

Popped in on the off chance they had availability for 7 adults and 1 child at the end of their lunchtime, was pleasantly surprised to find they could accommodate us. Both menu and meal were executed to perfection and having been to the island multiple times a year for the last 20, can not believe I have never been here. Can’t wait to go here again, staff polite friendly and entertaining and food fantastic, was a bit skeptics when I saw the prices, but when I saw the food the prices if anything were cheaper for the quality and quantity you receive.

This is lovely room with great views across the water. The young wait staff are very polite and attentive. Unfortunately that's about all we could praise on our visit. Firstly, we were seated by the window but it was very sunny and we were informed the blinds on the window were broken and couldn't be lowered to make it more comfortable for us. Then we were presented with the menu. This was substantially shorter than the menu posted on line and also on display in the entry way to the building. Most of the interesting items had been removed leaving only standard pub grub type offerings. We had chosen this venue because it had an interesting menu. We queried why the menu was different and were told that it was due to "staffing shortages in the kitchen". Given that the menu only contained standard, and in our opinion quite simple, items we would have expected them to be excellent. Our prawn starter was meant to be in tempura batter but it was a much thicker batter than that. Not unpleasant by any means but not what we expected. In the mains one of our party had to send back his fish and chips. The batter was overcooked and quite dark brown, but the fish inside was considered undercooked. When this was remade it was better and at least edible but by no means good. The other choices were okay but not exactly great. The Mac and cheese was quite dry and could have used more cheese sauce. At least the staff took off part of the cost of the bill and offered us a free tea or coffee to make up for our disappointment.

Firstly the restaurant is lovely and bright and well laid out. They menu has plenty on it and the lunch menu is a good deal. However that is where the good stops. We waited at the sign to be seated, staff were talking at the bar and after 10 minutes we just had to go up and ask to be seated. The menu is pricey and the bread that came with the prawn cocktail was stale. The buttermilk chicken that came with the salad was rock hard and not that warm. We ordered 2 sets of drinks and both times had to ask where they were. Finally, it's February and the doors were wide open so the place was freezing. There seemed to be plenty of staff but they are just lacking attentiveness and given the price I would expect better.

A bit overpriced , I thought , for what you get on their smallish dinner plates . Chips are nice , but food had no presentation . Also , pub was really cold . Sorry to say , I have had nicer meals in other places locally , and not as dear.

Bill came to over £50 for 3 people and food was terrible chips cold on one meal and over cooked on another, cola had a chlorine taste to it and batter on fish had a horrible taste to it
