Went for a birthday dinner last week, easily one of the nicest meals out I've ever had. The dishes are described as 'tapas' but one plate is easily enough for two people to share. I went with a party of 3 and we got around 8 plates between us - other people may need less, but we are a greedy bunch. Either way, sharing so many plates at once is a really fun way to eat out. Everything is ridiculously good quality for the money - for example, the cocktails were only £5.95 each, which is a steal for how well made they are. I tried a hazelnut White Russian for the first time, which was delicious. Definitely something I'll try (and probably fail) to emulate at home. Our food highlights were the carbonara (made without cream, the real deal!), the scallops and the lamb, but everything else was great too. Even the side dish of hand cut chips - probably one of the most basic items on the menu - went above and beyond our expectations. Staff all very friendly and welcoming too. I can't wait to come back!

This is a restaurant for diners who want something out of the ordinary. The menu is small but it is still difficult to choose because of the composition of the dishes. The quality of the food is excellent. My wife and I selected two dishes each which would not normally go together and shared them. It worked here. The staff are pleasantly attentive but not intrusive. The atmosphere is just right, a quiet buzz. We loved it.

Had a quick stop in Ayr before heading the the boat. We stumbled across this place completely by accident and we weren’t disappointed. Luckily, because we were early, they were able to squeeze us in before a fully booked evening. The service was brilliant - friendly and efficient. The food was outstanding; the cauliflower and halibut were especially good and we were impressed with the portion size for small plates. We would have taken a photo but we ate it too quickly. 🐷 When we’re back in Ayr, we’ll definitely be coming again. ⭐️

This is the most amazing place and the food is magnificent and unique at the same time. Smallish restaurant and you do have to book it has become very popular very quickly. If in Ayr a must visit. My first dish mint and basil grilled peach salad, followed by Barbados marinaded lamb cutlets, mint yogurt and garlic vegetable rice. Have to say the cutlets melted in the mouth. Superb and totally delicious and the staff wonderful.
