    Lovely cosy restaurant. Sat in one of their booths and it felt cosy and private. Good food choices and top marks for providing gluten free options. The food was very tasty and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Waited an hour for our starters and after asking why such a long wait we were told there was only one person in the kitchen (it was Friday night). No explanation or apology without asking, we would have waited the full hour without any correspondence. Live in village and want it to work but constantly disappointed whenever we go for dinner. Owner/management should take responsibility and sort the mess out.

    Service was painfully slow, we were sat for the best part of half an hour without having our drinks order taken or given menus. When I went to the bar to bring this to someone's attention, the girl serving looked straight at me and ignored me, walking off to clear glasses from the beer garden. We later got the excuse that she thought someone else was serving us - she knew I was standing waiting at the bar for a good while and never bothered to come and check. That said, the food (when we eventually got it) was very good and large portions. The service picked up when another girl started her shift, she was attentive and friendly. The place was very quiet for a Saturday afternoon, in days gone by that would never have been the case. A reflection of the service perhaps?

    I have visited the Cardross Inn twice lately (July '24), and the service and food has been fantastic. We were told due to new kitchen staff still completing their training, not everything on the menu would be available. However, there was still plenty to choose from & everybody enjoyed their food immensely! I highly recommend the green goddess hummus 😋 I really hope this stays on the menu. The steak pie was a favourite, too. The staff were very accommodating to our request for a quieter table due to a member of our party having sensory issues. Everyone who served us was friendly and attentive. Well done & thank you to all the team ❤️
