Warm, inviting, relaxed and personal dining.

We have stumbled upon this great little restaurant. Iâve had breakfast which was made to order, lunch and now dinner. The service is good. Ambience nice. The food excellent!!! I had asked again for something not on the menu, they actually met my request and delivered my favourite pud, macaroons... delicious, thank you! It was busy with two large groups but this did not impact on the service or quality of our experience. It is rare to feel totally one hundred percent happy after a meal. My standards are reasonably high but I get sick of poor service and mediocre food when I know I can present a meal at a better standard, for a fraction of the cost. This restaurant is certainly achieving everything I require and I can recommend it highly. The monkfish starter was just delicious. My husbands steak was cooked, as he likes to perfection, melting in his mouth.

... because it is tasteless, insipid is the word when it comes to the curry, but the Malaysian stir fry is super.All the starters on the set lunchtime menu are good, the spring rollsâï¸ Satayâï¸ potato skinsâï¸ and accompanied with a decent dollop of salad, the soups are decent too.As said the curry is quite tasteless, not much spice to it. However the stir fry is very good, it is not a think sauce, but it is packed with flavour. I tried the prawns; at a two quid supplement, but well worth it, six juicy prawns in a highly spicy dish. Very enjoyable, but be cautious in you are not friends of the spices. It was a lil fiery. Very reasonably priced too...

I've been coming here for years since it was first opened. Great setting, nicely decorated and should be a winner. On our most recent visit, it was average and that's a shame as it's got huge potential. The table was sticky, like it needed a good clean, and the service was slow and a little disorganised. We got a completely different order (on one dish) and it was obvious there was a mistake although they kind of covered it up 'We'll just get your pate and take away these haggis balls'. It meant one diner was lacking a lunch for a while. The burger came with strange pulled pork on the top, not requested, so could have been a mistake too. The wine was okay, rather than lovely. The portion sizes were small and I don't eat a huge portion at lunch. In the past they have been more sizeable. Overall, I was a little sadened as the last time I came here it was great. I'd come back and try again as it could be just the a few teething issues.Hi BettyBoo2u,Thank you very much for your visit and review.Could you please advise when you were in so that I can look into this for you.I can only apologise if there was an error with your order however I would like to investigate our end as we do not offer haggis balls or pulled pork on our menu.Our house burger does come with pulled brisket and is described this way on the menu, I appreciate this may not have been to your taste however we are always happy to accommodate peoples personal preferences and therefore would happily have served it without if asked.Our burgers are extremely popular and with a large housemade burger along with the pulled brisket, side of slaw and fries we feel this is a much more generous portion than many places, again the pate along with housemade bread is no smaller than anywhere I have been.Any further information you could provide would be helpful

Don't bypass THE EDISON.at Queens Court , there is an empty shop at entrance but what a place. A friend took us there on Saturday and it was really enjoyable. It was just a quick snack but a lovely Bacon Roll ,freshly made, and Tea ,served promptly by very friendly staff. It was really tasty and was only £3. Excellent value. The place is very relaxing and there was no rush and the music in background was 70/80's was quiet but brings back many memories.The week before our friend had visited and there was live music on Saturday afternoon 2-6 pm, and was 1st class.I would really recommend a visit to this Licensed restaurant for a bite to eat and a drink .Next time we are in Ayr will definitely visit this restaurant. WELL DONE and 5 star to the owner and staff.

I met up with friends for lunch and ordered the vegetable tempura to start. The batter was overly salted but that could be personal taste so I didnât bother saying anything about that. For my main, I ordered sweet chilli vegetable and chick pea salad. I donât think itâs just personal taste to expect a fresh tasting dish. What was served was a pile of sliced peppers and chick peas absolutely smothered in bottled sweet chilli sauce. No salad leaves as Iâd expect. The already sauce laden plate was also hiding a watery spoonful of coleslaw reminiscent of supermarket budget offerings. My friend ordered a different salad which was also smothered in sauce. Neither of were able to eat much as it was just gloopy and far from the fresh salads we were hoping for. The server who cleared the almost untouched plates asked if we enjoyed our meal and I did say that I did not and explained why. He apologised and that was that. When the bill came, we had been charged the full amount for the salads. I again informed staff that the food was poor and again, a simple apology was all that was offered. Iâd have hoped that after two complaints, the chef may have shown face or perhaps the cost of the inedible food be reduced. Neither happened which suggests to me a lack of care. I wonât be back.
