    We had high expectations on food given reviews but we were very disappointed with the food. Just seemed to be frozen supermarket scampi cooked with mediocre chips and a few peas. Setting was beautiful and lovely welcome but if the food is not up to much then it’s a shame.

    We were struggling to find a restaurant with good reviews that would be open in the area in mid-Feb and Carron came to the rescue. Tasty food, decent portions, and good service.

    We recently visited this restaurant as a family of six, including our baby, and we couldn’t have been more pleased! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The homemade food was absolutely delicious—each dish was flavorful. You can really taste the care that goes into the cooking. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We highly recommend this restaurant for families and anyone looking for a warm, welcoming atmosphere with great food. We can’t wait to return!
