Very busy dining room, but managed to squeeze me in after a short wait. I ordered scallops in an Indian style sauce for lunch. Very lovely but expensive for the price (approximately £18). It was just as well I was having a large dinner!
Waitress very nice and helpful.

This is a very lovely restaurant, beside Loch Fyne and surrounded by the Mountains.Ambience inside, very good indeed, very attractive set up and decor. My husband's 8 scallops (main course) were particularly good, cooked in garlic and parsley butter.Nicely served in half shells.Might go for that next time.
My cod was nice, not wow.Could have done with a sauce of some kind I thought. Great chips with aioli! Treacle tart pudding was a deep sponge like pudding but home made and REALLY tasty.
All in all, we'll be back.

I think they play on the fact this hotel is old as all the rooms decor is ancient and overpriced. Food and drinks choice is excellent but a bit pricey and staff are all well trained to get as much of your money as possible. Hated that in the main bar area all they were interested was keeping reserved for couples coming in at all times of the night meaning if you only wanted a drink and listen to the entertainment standing at the bar is ur only option.

The Loch Fyne Dining Room, with its five picture windows overlooking the hotel garden and the loch beyond, is a room of cool elegance. The classic light pistachio walls, hung with fine antique prints, creates the perfect backdrop for the beautifully presented fine dining food created by our award-winning kitchen brigade. Our 2 AA Rosette menus use only the finest seasonal local produce delivered daily into out kitchen where the magic takes place. The freshest seafood, the choicest meats and game are cooked and prepared with imagination and flair for you to savour. In summertime posies of home grown flowers decorate the linen dressed tables. In wintertime the real log fire and candlelit tables create intimacy, even on the busiest nights. The baby grand piano lies open, inviting guests to play.

Lovely situation with marvellous views. Staff were very pleasant but the food was disappointing. Husbands scallops were overlooked but cold!! His main of battered haddock was overdone. I passed on a starter and chose the fish pie which was piping hot. Pleasant enough but sauce was thin and there was something lacking. The afogato was delicious, but that's easy enoughn
Double room was small but adequate for an overnight stay although it was looking a bit jaded. Perfectly clean and the bed was very comfy. Parking is in short supply!!

Great Empire Biscuit s and really delicious scones. We ordered tea and coffee and baking and it was absolutely delicious. Service was so friendly. If you're travelling around the country in Scotland this is a very good place to stop for some delicious food along the way.

The first thing that you'll notice when you walk in will be the homely and inviting atmosphere, the second will be the very subtle aroma of beautiful local produce. Modern and traditional cuisine made using the best of local produce, served in a charming Scottish restaurant with a warming atmosphere. Informality is the order of the day at Brambles - we create a relaxed dining atmosphere to make all our patrons feel comfortable and at ease - combined with our friendly and efficient serving staff we know you will enjoy the dining experience as much as you will the food.

This café was deceptively large, looking quite small from the outside but was lovely and warm and very busy! I had the ham and lentil soup and my partner had the ploughmans. The soup was steaming hot and full of flavour and just the ticket for such a cold day. They weren't stingy with the tea either, coming in a huge pot. Unfortunately many of the cakes had gone so we settled for a shortcake caramel slice and I had Belgian waffles which came dotted with fresh fruit. I can see why it was such a popular venue and would eat there again.

This is a pub, not a restaurant. What put me off when I walked in was the three different types of tartan wall-to-wall carpeting. A real sight for sore eyes! The food, however, is delicious, down-to-earth pub grub. My home-made Scotch Pie was really tasty. Service is friendly and efficient.

Strange name for an Indian Restaurant but nothing strange about the service or the food. Large portions of tasty Indian cuisine served in an upmarket dining room. Helpful staff and a good wide ranging menu. Prices are reasonable and the beer - which for me is an essential with curry - is fairly priced despite being bottled. None of these piddly 300cl ales at £5 a pop, which I always think is a rip-off, Ban-Duic have 550cl bottles of Tiger.
The starters were very good and the tightly packed Chicken Puree was a meal in itself. Round, crispy, yet soft and savoury Onion Bhajis - very good. The Chicken Madras was massive, enough to share; actually and the waiter suggested that we might do that if we wanted. For a completely different taste my wife had the Spiced Milli Shilli, (Shally Lamb?) a delightfully soft lean lamb dish and not too hot.
