    Great meal and good value for money. Staff very friendly and menu far better than what tends to be available ie pub food, fish and chips, steak pie etc. normally. Had the the place recommended to us last night by a couple in our hotel and it didn’t disappoint.

    Never been before, not sure why. The music from the get go set the mood for the rest of the evening. Very chilled. There are so many places in Ayr that are overrated and getting away with it getting by because they keep up with the Instagram standards…This place leaves them standing. Friendly staff, amazingly delicious food and very cozy ambiance. An absolute hidden gem in Ayr.
