We visited here on Friday evening for a family meal. Food was delish! Everyone cleared their plates. They do small & large portions on all their popular dishes. Perfect if you are looking for something not too heavy. Staff are amazing..friendly and always ensuring you have everything you need and your drinks are topped up. We will certainly be back.

Popped in for lunch one Saturday. It was very quiet so could sit pretty much anywhere although it wasn’t long before it started filling up with people wanting to watch the the football on the big screens. The food offer of 2 meals for £10.99 is very cheap. Sadly, this meant that it wasn’t the best quality. I got bangers and mash in a giant Yorkshire pudding. The Yorkshire was pretty cold and the sausages were very low quality. My husband got a chicken pie and chips. The chips were very hot and tasty but the pie was cold and the puff pastry (on the top AND the bottom of the pie???) was rather anaemic looking. The side of onion rings were tasty enough. At the end of our meal, the match was about to begin so they turned the commentary up VERY loud so we could barely hear each other. Pleased we were ready to leave. It’s a nice building but it needs a lick of paint on the ceiling where there has clearly been water ingress and there are large cracks above one of the pillars in the middle of the room. A bit of repair work is needed.

Tontine Hotel

Reviewed By Denis C

The Tontine Hotel is a Greenock institution, a well loved local landmark. The proprietors have a very hands on approach to management. Service is friendly and quick, food is fresh and varied. The hotel offers all levels of catering from mid-morning coffee to banquets. A lot of money has been spent to good effect in renovating the premises and engaging the function suite. All in all, an excellent and trusted hotel and restaurant.

Fresh

Reviewed By SandandChas

The coffee, soup and scones in Fresh, Greenock Oak Mall are good. The decor is pleasant, tables are cleaned regularly and the staff are friendly and efficient. Lots of customers seemed to be opting for the soup and sandwich deal or Mac & Cheese. These all looked nice and all the recipients seemed happy with their choices. Obviously it’s a busy place between 12-2 given the Council offices next door, but staff seem well organised and able to cope.

Came here based on TA reviews and wasn’t disappointed. The venue is open and spacious and if I’m honest well finished from what I saw.The staff are friendly and welcoming, the menu has something for everyone I would say. I had the Pasta Pesto and it was good, very tasty and a good portion, maybe some bread on the side would have been nice but no complaints from meYes, I would recommend and would come again!

This was our Sunday must do for SIX years. Then it went sadly down the slippery slope.Last two visits our food was cremated. The cook smokes (her choice) but shouldn't be wearing her apron outside whilst doing so.Nor should she enter the washroom wearing it. So unhygienic. We are very disappointed to read your review, especially given the fact that you have been such a regular with us. We would love the opportunity to investigate further and have relayed your feedback to our team. Please do get in touch on [email protected] where we would hope to further assist.

Came here today for my sons birthday 25th, the service is good and the staff ok. I've been here before a few times but not reviewed as my opinion differs from my wife's.... Today we had a few different dishes, my son had the lentil soup to start, which to be fair was exactly what it said in the menu....but smelled funny, unpleasant funny and tasted like salt and pepper had gone on holiday...bland was not undescriptive enough. My wife and I shared the charcuterie....which was ok, although the olive oil/balsamic required the power of a 1.1gigawatt blender to attract the balsamic to the bread when dipped. Next the mains, my wifes pork loin looked amazing but was dryer than an arabs dap, (a dap is a sandal) my son had the macaroni cheese with pancetta....well where do I start...it looked good, it smelt good, it delivered bland pasta with crispy bacon (not panchetta), salt and pepper were still missing. I had the monkfish/prawn jerk kebab with mango and rice. The fish smelt off but I persevered and was ok, the mango was freezing and looked older than my mother...the rice clung to itself like a recovering drug addict...all sweaty and bland, definitely miss the aforementioned salt and pepper. Desert was not attempted. After the initial attentiveness off the staff it seemed a bit mission impossible to get them to provide much service thereafter, my wife called the restaurant we were in just to order the bill from our table.....This place used to be quite good but seems to be declining, which is a shame.

Visited here with two friends today to sample their afternoon tea.Sandwich selection was average really not any unusual/inspiring fillings.Scones were all plain perhaps fruit would be a better option?I had a small macaroon which was nice,there were other small cakes too.Additionally a tall shot glass with something which looked like Chantilly cream & coulis on top,my friends said it was very sweet.We opted for a bottle of Prosecco with our teas & coffees.Finished the afternoon off with a cocktail each which for me was the best part of afternoon.It was all ok but just ok,not sure I would want it for a special occasion/ celebration.Thank you for your review. The tall glass was a homemade cheesecake souffle accompanied with a raspberry coulis. We offer a wide range of sandwich fillings for our Afternoon Tea which everyone can enjoy e.g vegan fillings, traditional fillings and gluten-free options. In the past, we had unusual fillings however we were constantly being asked for the same fillings by our customers so we now cater the sandwiches with traditional fillings which seem to be the most popular... So pleased you enjoyed your cocktail, they are all really tasty! Afternoon Tea Week is 12th-18th August 2019. If you decide to book with us again please be sure to ask for a varied sandwich selection and ask for Afternoon tea with prosecco...it'll save you money instead of buying a bottle. Thanks for your review.
