Visited Auld Acquaintance in Girvan partly due to the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, which bore no resemblance to the establishment we visited. The place itself wasdefinitely appropriate to its title - auld (old), tatty and looked uncared for; however, once inside, we decided to give it a go as often appearances can be deceptive. I ordered a tuna & feta pizza and my friend ordered roasted Mediterranean vegetable pizza. We waited ages for the food to arrive, despite the fact there was hardly anyone in the place and when the food eventually arrived we were both flabbergasted. Both pizzas were made with ready made pizza bases, smothered in what appeared to be tomato puree instead of pizza sauce and my pizza was smothered in what I can only presume to be tuna savoury, the type used for sandwich fillings, instead of just tuna with lumps of melted cheddar and a tiny amount of feta on top. It actually looked as if a dog had thrown up on top of a pizza base. My friend's roasted med veg pizza wasn't much better and both were served on plastic plates! My supposed tuna & feta pizza was cold, so I asked for it to be warmed up, whereby the waitress took it away & then the 'chef' appeared & explained that it couldn't be reheated due to the presence of mayonnaise, reinforcing my suspicion that it was sandwich filling on the pizza instead of just tuna & feta. The food was so awful we ate only a couple of pieces, paid and then left. I wouldn't mind but the food there isn't cheap; £8.99 for a 9 inch pizza which frankly wasn't as nice as a chesp frozen pizza from Asda. The food was absolutely horrible and the place bore absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to the establishment described or depicted on Trip Advisor, therefore I'd recommend that everyone gives this place the widest berth possible and go elsewhere.

We came here for a large family dinner. The restaurant wasnât very busy but, we were in the separate event room anyway. The facilities are good for a small to medium sized group. There is a small bar in the event room and drink prices seemed reasonable. The service wasnât great and the meals were very slow. It was more than hour between taking orders and serving any food. The poor folk who didnât order a starter had to wait almost two hours before eating. The food was a mixed bag. The steak pie and roast beef were great. The scallops were off; the whole room could smell that they were bad as they were being served. Iâm surprised that they were prepared and served when it was obvious that something was wrong with them.Overall, because of serving dangerous seafood that was passed its sell by date and the very slow service, I cannot recommend the restaurant.

Four of us dined midweek, the place seems to be ticking over nicely business wise. Starters of cream of broccoli soup couldnât be faulted. Separate mains of chicken, sirloin, salmon piripiri and fillet of hake all cooked to our requirements. The wine list , well we had a red and a white , canât remember the names but the Austrian white was beautiful. Cheesecake dessert was fine too. Not a weak spot on the menu as far as we were concerned. Service was good. Solicitous but not overly so. Wouldnât hesitate to visit again.

The Costley Group certainly know how to look after their guests, my wife and I called in on chance earlier this week. The food was first class along with the service that we received from the young waiting staff. We would highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family, can't wait to go back.

Itâs a lovely place to go on a blustery day. Very airy and open with stunning views up the coast. Food was delicious and the staff were very welcoming. Canât wait to go back!

Second visit here. Because of the positive experience we had on our first visit, albeit only for a coffee, we decided to stop for a snack en-route to Port Patrick. We weren't too hungry so ordered "just" a sandwich and soup to share. Oh my goodness!! The smoked salmon and prawn sandwich was enormous, packed full of prawns and salmon and came with a side of lovely home made chips. The soup was also delicious and we were both stuffed. The quality of the food was matched by the friendly efficiency of the staff who all appeared to be enjoying their work. As previously stated, this was our second visit and the welcome was just as warm as on our previous visit. If passing through Kirkoswald don't pass this wee gem. We certainly won't.

Family run Hotel and Restaurant with 11 ensuite bedrooms. Situated in the picturesque village of Maidens. Stunning sea views and a stone's throw away from Culzean Castle and Trump Turnberry. Dine in our wonderful restaurant and enjoy a range of local prod
Outstanding value for money.I cannot think of another restaurant that can come anywhere near the quality and choice at this price.In fact, ignore the price because you could pay twice as much and have much poorer fare!Please, do yourself a favour and treat your taste buds to this outstanding food.I canât rate it highly enough.

Iconic hotel with great sea views.Immaculately maintained. Excellent greeting on arrival and escorted to table. Friendly, welcoming staff. We both considered that the starters on offer were the star. Plenty of choice if you haven't a fish allergy. Rather disappointed in the choice of mains. Sadly the beef bourguignon lacked texture and flavour and like some of the vegetables on the buffet it was not maintained at a high enough temperature. Reasonable selection of sweets and excellent selection of cheeses. Went for good old Scottish tap water at the table as we were driving. Having stayed overnight twice previously we were well aware that the wine and spirits are at premium prices.Dear 50Ecosse,Thank you so much for taking the time to send us your feedback following your most recent visit to 1906 at Turnberry.Your feedback is greatly appreciated as it allows us to monitor the level of service we deliver and helps identify any areas which may require our attention, as well as create an opportunity to reward and recognise our team here at Turnberry.I was pleased to read that you had an enjoyable experience during your time amongst us and that the staff played a role in this. We will also take on board your comments regarding the main curse selection on offer. Once again thank for choosing to stay at the resort and for reaching out to us and allowing me the opportunity to respond.We look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the near future.Yours sincerely,Shalane
