"My husband and I, Grandson and partner and great Grandchild turned up at this venue today and it was full. Owner asked if we wanted to wait 15 minutes he would reserve a table for us. It was freezing cold and we said thanks but we would find somewhere else just at that about 6 folk were leaving and the owner asked if we wanted to come in out the cold he would arrange a table for us. He provided a high chair for the baby. We were very impressed by the menu and prices. My hubby and I had the angel cut haddock which was beautiful. Locally sourced too which impressed us. Good service , reasonably priced and very welcoming. We'll be back."

"We went for lunch yesterday and received a very warm welcome and shown to a table straight away. The server was very friendly and it didn’t take long for our drinks to come and the food to be served. I chose Tuscan sausage lasagne with salad and crusty bread, my OH had the Caesar Salad. The portions were very generous and freshly made and we both really enjoyed our meal. I am a keen cook and do pride myself in making a cracking lasagne but, I admit defeat and had to tell the owner that his lasagne was the best I have ever eaten. I should have asked for the recipe! It’s such a shame that we live about 6 hours away from Largs, I would definitely be a regular customer."

"Bit quieter than usual but good attention from staff as always. Unfortunately my husband ordered arancini which managed to be both lookwarm and overcooked at the same time. He mentioned this to staff as he ate very little but it still appeared on our bill which was disappointing. The waitress said she was not authorised to make deductions from the bill but surely if she was the only front of hose staff member present she should have that authority"

"We were a party of 5, on a cold, very wet Saturday evening, coldest so far I would say! We drew up and saw a young family of 3 sitting with jackets on in the conservatory area, we were a bit concerned! We took a...seat at the back of the conservatory which proved to be a big mistake! There was a terrible draught coming from behind me, I did mention it and was told it was 27c at the middle of the room, but not where we were sitting!! I mentioned it a few times and sat with my shawl scarf on throughout! I pulled down the window blinds hoping that would help, nope!! We ordered our food, I asked about a vegetarian option for my husband, our waitress did say he could a veggie option on the curry and the tempura or risotto, which was helpful! I had to ask what was the soup of the day and also the pate!! I did feel that maybe in this day and age there should have been a small dedicated vegetarian area on the menu, but that’s just my opinion! 3 of our party had starters which were great, Cullen skink, scallops and langoustine tempura, Main courses arrived, 3 fish and chips, one lemon soul and one veggie tempura, all were excellent except for the veggie tempura which was large shards of onion and carrot in an albeit lovely batter, but not all vegetarians like huge chunks of vegetables! 4 of our party had a sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, which was plentiful! Overall we had a pleasant meal, little or no atmosphere though, one of the younger waitresses (white shirt, black skirt) was friendly and more talkative, the waitress (dressed all in black)who served us was, we all felt a little disinterested and lacked any empathy with the guests! We asked for our bill, the youngest waitress came with the card machine and felt how cold it was only then did she check the windows to find there was one opened, hence the draught, which spoiled our visit because we were felling it cold!! We paid the bill and left a tip on the plate, no one came to say thank you for you custom, or have a nice evening, nothing!! All in all it was pretty inhospitable! Value you for money, it was good for the standard of the food!"

"Candle lit restaurant created a beautiful ambiance. We had a very warm welcome from the staff. The food was delicious, excellent quality and presentation. I was delighted that you are still given a hot roll and butter while waiting on starters. Wine was very nice,...More"
