Eighteen69

I was extremely impressed by Eighteen69. As a vegetarian I had a huge amount of choice, and it was fantastic to see such creative vegetarian/vegan items on the menu instead of the usual. Watermelon sashimi with wasabi foam! I was in heaven. The restaurant has an extremely attentive allergen policy too. Service was impeccable. Some of the best I've ever had. Let me give an example: a lady with limited mobility got up from her seat, and without hesitating the waitress passing her table offered the lady her arm and walked her to the bathroom. I was speechless! Everyone I encountered was wonderful.

Been once before and there was a dog friendly area. Booked ahead online this time and was shown to the dog friendly lounge, which was basically a room with a couch in it. The dogs ended up in the car as that was a completely unsuitable place to enjoy tapas. Front of house was a bit snippy about it and suggested we move to brambles. In the end we ate there. Food and rest of staff lovely. Leave the dog at home!

We had a gorgeous meal at eighteen69, we ate in the beautiful lounge area with our dog on a sofa and decent sized coffee table which was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff were all friendly and attentive and squeezed us in at the last minute due to some booking confusion. The food was incredible - we had all of the vegan options between 2 of us and even ordered a second serving of the vegan burnt ends, which were incredible! This place certainly has the best vegan selection we found on the island, and we loved every dish! Lastly, the bar staff were incredible, from delicious cocktails, friendly chat, and an excellent selection of local beers and spirits. Overall, we're so glad we stumbled on eighteen69 and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone and will certainly be making a return visit next time we visit Arran. Other reviews have criticised the pricing, but for the quality of the food and service we would have paid more.

Absolutely lovely - all of it. A very nice building in Nice grounds, with cosy seating areas and dining in a large conservatory. Service was good - a friendly waitress and the food came fairly quickly - not quite all together, but we weren't waiting. As it's a tapas style, it was small plates, and with plenty of choice. Everything was lovely, plenty of meat & fish dishes, fewer for veggies. The food was beautifully presented and cooked. 3 main plates and a side of carrots and I was nicely full, :-) The whole place had a feel of being upmarket and tastefully done, well looked after and well run. The best meal out I've had for some time, beaten for me only by Michelin starred dining on Skye.

Never been to Scottish tapas before! We arrived as party of a hen party, much to the dismay of the other diners! But for a group of 13 they split us over 2 tables. It wasn't ideal at first but understandable as the actual eating area isn't huge! The staff were very welcoming and explained the ordering system. We probably over ordered as we were all stuffed by the end but the food was just fantastic. Some at my table didnt enjoy one of the chicken dishes but no complaints over anything else. I'd highly recommend the haggis scotch egg and the cullen skink pie! Cocktails are also lovely! Definitely a place I'd return to when visiting Arran as there's something for everyone and a great variety.
