Over the holiday period , I have been in a number of times and always a delight. Great, efficient service. Good menu and that view. Good to reserve a table as gets busy and can be noisy when busy but only an issue as there for catch up with friends.

Tried this place but wouldn’t rush back. Cullen Skink was ok, steak was small and chips were cold. However the biggest disappointment was the waitress who seemed totally disinterested. At one point she appeared to pull a face like a moody teenager when we asked for another bottle of wine (not that she’d noticed it was empty) Doubt the staff have had any training in customer care and it shows. Management should focus on the basics!

Reviewed By Solodam J - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
As you see the interior, it's different than a normally indian restaurant. It's modern, tight, chic, here and there some indian pictures and on the other hand the light is a little bit kitschy. The food could be very good ( for not vegetarian). For vegetarian, there is enough choices but finally all tasted the same. Good service and friendly people. The location is not so far from Holiday Inn express.

this is a family owned rest which has been going for a few years, it is very popular with local people and very close to the cruise terminal
Reviewed By johnnymac2017 - Kilmacolm, United Kingdom
It's more spacious inside than I thought it would be, with friendly attentive staff.
They have a good varied lunchtime menu, with something to suit most tastes.
We both had the BBQ pork panini which was delicious, filling and well priced.
Did like the subdued background muzak of early 60's American singers.

8. Bath Street Arches
Overall Ratings
5 based on 274 reviews
Welcome to Scotland’s smallest Restaurant/Bistro. With 6 tables & having just 16 seats, you are offered an intimate & affordable dining experience without being intrusive. The restaurant is situated in Gourock on quiet (& often seldom known) Bath Street which is just a stone's throw from Gourock train station. It serves a la carte lunches & dinners as well as tasting menus along with paired wines. The restaurant was set up in 2012 with a focus on using contemporary techniques to serve beautiful but often very humble food in a fun way within an intimate setting. The food does not fit into any one category or cuisine - it isn't even fusion food, but this unclassified genre is a good thing. At Bath Street Arches we firmly believe being outside the bounds of any one category is what allows us to innovate & create without any constraints such as, if one was a steakhouse, a seafood restaurant, a French brassiere. etc. Classification of food and cuisines can bind creativity in the kitchen. All the food is created with an aim to offer the diner not just a delicious but also an interesting combination of flavours while keeping a balance of tastes & textures on the plate. This delicious & unusual combination is what allows a Bath Street Arches meal to become interesting, which can then lead to what is hoped will become a memorable experience.

Visited in April & again in September 2017! A Wonderful, tiny restaurant, which has around six tables Seating for to six diners. It is very nicely decorated and has an intimare, cosy & welcoming ambience! The owner, Ambresh is an innovatine, creative, experimental and enthusiastic foodie and chef, who creates an unusual, delicious, mouthwatering and delectable range of dishes, for the Tasting Experience. This Tasting menu consists of 10 dishes, costing £35 per head, which include sweets and cheeses, and is the equivalent of a three course meal. Some of the dishes have hint of exotic herbs and spices, which tantalise the palate, but do not overpower the food.The food is created by Ambresh, prepared to his specifications by sous chefs and presented by Ambresh who enthusiastically and knowledgeably details the concept of the dish, what he was attempting to acieve and some of the special ingredients! Along with this meanu, you can purchase 7 paired Tasting drinks which include a beer, a wine, usually a vintage Port and a spirit often a Special Gin, with an unusual cordial mixer! Though not a Gin drinker, I was amazed at the wonderful taste created and the overall combination was exttremely palatabile, Again Ambresh describes the research behind the concoction eloquently and enthusiastically and presents a board with an upturned glass, filled with her b infused smoke and a cordial of either fig (3000 yeard old recipe) or Apricot cordial (depending on what is in season). The overall presentation is stunning and very informative throughout the meal, which is superb! The actual dishes change regularly, but the menus are posted up on their site. I cannot recommend this tiny restaurant enough and was so impressed we have visited it again with friends who were equally impressed. And I will definitely visit it again & again and may even try the A La Carte menu, though I may be tempted to go for the Taster yet again

We eat here all the time but our last visit was disappointing for me. I ordered a gourmet chicken Sandwich. The chicken was as tough as an old boot and did not look freshly cooked. It tasted disgusting too so had to send it back for another. When this arrived, it came back as an ordinary chicken Sandwich rather than a gourmet so had to ask for the gourmet sauce. I didn’t even get an apology when it was brought out. Not their usual standard at all.
