"in the frame of a birthday party for dinner for four people. the service for drinks was fast and has given a lot of time to meet our choice from the varied menu. the appetizers we had were the pate with focaccia, Cranfish cocktails and potato and rag soup....All were delicious and good portions. because the restaurant was pretty busy, the service was very fast. our most important cursor choices were three for the filet steaks (8oz) all cooked to perfection with accompanying veg or salat. one had the homemade steak pee with maic and veg. that was also delicious and portion size so generous. we've finished latte, cappuccino and vanilleeis. the price was quite reasonable given the fact that we had filet steaks. service was fast and efficient. all in all a very pleasant experience and will certainly be back."

"my man and my elders have traveled from the coast of englands for years to stay in wemyss bay and always visit a point largs a few times during our stay and treat us to the breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake in the bagel. the last time we visited, was with our week old daughter and the staff made me feel very easy to quiet her there over the breakfast. when we left, we said we would see them again next year, but unfortunately this was not too guilt after a difficult months/years for all we managed to come back for some days and were thrilled to see that the bagel basket was still in business with some familiar faces behind the counter. as soon as we have entered tabs, the five of us plus our month old in their stroller. Although we haven't been there for two years and had to wear face masks, the owners recognized us and coworkers and it was as if we had never been away. again I was made to feel very comfortable while quiet there and even offered to put my hot lunch to keep warm so that I could do that. definitiw recommend the bagel basket to any especially families and those who can warn themselves about quiet in public"

"This is a place I loved to come to for the great atmosphere, food and service. That was a couple of years ago. In 2023 great new interior, but that's were it stops, young staff who chat more to each other, do not listen when taking orders, generally get it wrong, a simple request for water and ice becomes rocket science. Staff are distant, sometimes rude and arrogant, they look like they hate their job. I complained to head office and received a standard email response from the General Manager at Scotts which was an insult, it's obvious they don't care and especially the quality of food. I previously booked requesting a booth this month, when I arrived with my wife and daughter we were seated at a table, no mention of reserved booth or apology that it was not available. Ordering a desert is the luck of the draw as they have forgotten twice in the last five visits. When your waiting an hour for food, they use to bring you some bread and butter while you waited, not anymore. When they did provide you with water and ice in the past, they would pour the water into your glasses and offer to refill, not anymore. I was at Scott's Largs this month and booked under 40% promotional discount, when I went to the counter to pay my bill they issued me a receipt with full price, when I pointed out error to young lad, he just crushed up receipt, threw it in the bin and processed bill with correct 40% discount, no apology. A young lad who came over with our drinks, threw down the coasters on table in an arrogant manner. A restaurant requires a level of etiquette and approach to good customer service, sometimes it requires a level of maturity and life experience. In previous years at Scott's Largs the older mature staff could give the younger ones a run for their money and show how it's done in a courteous and professional manner. With a lot of horrendous reviews here, there is obviously an issue with the general manager and chef? A simple tip, organise and control the waiting staff by offering better training including manners, find a chef who can cook and pay them a decent salary. With a lot of horrendous reviews, there can only be one person responsible, the General Manager? I would never go back again to Scott's, it's passed its sell by date in all categories, such a shame. Especially with the benefits card which is a great rewards scheme with regular discounts, but that's not enough to encourage me to return. There was a local restaurant in my area which faced the same criticism in service and food, they brought in a new manager and chef and what a transformation, the service and food is now excellent. As I said it's not rocket science in the restaurant industry."

"Have been going here for nearly 20 years as an annual treat, this time it was probably our last. The dishes ranged from competent to laughably bad, the fish and chips in particular would have been sub standard even for a chip shop, with soggy batter on the fish and chips that were barely cooked. There were substitutions on other dishes that we were only told about on delivery. You would have thought a fish restaurant would make good tartar sauce. The sticky toffee pudding has always been legendary at Finns, this time, it tasted like it was bought in. Surprisingly poor service considering the staff almost outnumbered the diners. Couldn't even get the spelling right on the menu. We remember when Fins was a Michelin star contender, and a real selling point for the village of Fairlie, those days are sadly gone."

"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"
