On our way back to Glasgow after a weekend on the Ayrshire coast, we stopped in Ayr for something to eat and found this restaurant right across from where we parked the car. They had a Trip Advisor sticker in the window so we thought we'd give it a try. It was 4.30pm so we chose from the High Tea... More

We visited this restaurant yesterday evening, the second visit since being under new management. The food was excellent! However the service was absolutely abysmal. Although the waitress was pleasant, her waitressing skills were sadly lacking. We are still at a loss as to the function of another "waitress" who appeared to just stand around, doing nothing. My husband ordered off... More

Was I ever impressed - Menu - well varied with something for everyone and if there is "something special" that you have your mouth ready for - just ask and if possible..Chef will accommodate....

I visited with family for a two course lunch and our starters were okay. I choose creamed mushrooms and the others choose chicken tempura. My main course choice was wild mushroom rissoto and it...

Went here for Easter Sunday lunch. John made us feel very welcome. Dining room and bar are beautifully decorated. Our lunch was really great, traditional roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. Meat was so tender and everything cooked so nice.It was such a pleasure to sit and enjoy a meal in such surroundings, would recommend and return.

The food in Aubergine is absolutely sublime. My fiancee and dined in here both nights when we stayed at The Berkeley and we were so glad we did. We... More
