Winter ball . Wednesday28th Dec 2016 Menu was not good. We were not able to know what the menu was until the actual night!!!!!!! Soup was spicy butternut squash. So thin, and tasteless except from the kick of chilli. Couldn't eat it Main meal. No choice unless you were vegetarian . A few vegetable, well presented with a couple of potatoes squashed on plate to look more, and a piece of "CHUCK "braised steak. Dessert. Sticky toffee or cheese and biscuits. Cheese was thinly cut and I mean thinly sliced. 3 oatcakes and chilli jam. This was passable. Vegetarian option was sweet corn fritters with mashed potatoes???????? The drinks are extremely extortionate in price There were 11 of us . 5 left their soup, 8 left their main meal. Dessert eaten. Staff serving us were lovely, helpful, and certainly willing to please. Sorry chart room Michael buble tribute night saved us from leaving earlier than we did.Quite a few left during the evening which allowed us plenty of room on the dance floor. We did leave early also as it was not the best evening. I do think the menu should have been out prior to the event to allow people the opportunity to decide if it was for them and make alternative arrangements with the staff. So disappointed overall. Would certainly think twice now about...
Read moreWe were a group of 4 motorcyclists (2 of us from Northern Ireland, 1 from England and 1 from South Africa) returning from a Bike Rally and we were staying overnight in Inverkip... Being Mother's Day we were very surprised but grateful that The Chartroom Restaurant was able to offer us a Table at extremely short notice given how busy they were. The Staff were all very welcoming and chatty and although we were the only table of 'Males Only', we didn't feel at all uneasy... Even though all tables appeared fully seated, the layout felt very spacious. We were at a lovely table and can honestly say the vista of the Marina and sea from within the restaurant was beautiful. Even though the restaurant was full, we still had the panoramic view through the glass fronted dining area which all customers could enjoy from their tables.. The restaurant was very busy and full of people, chatting and laughter, yet it didn't feel at all overwhelming nor too loud. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, the food was excellent and the pints went down well too... Good Luck to the new owners who are working hard and have produced a great atmosphere to relax in ... Everyone there seemed to be having a great evening and it's due to the overall package and service. Visit and You shouldn't be...
Read moreLast week, my family and I went to this restaurant for a simple family trip. The place appears to be average, nothing spectacular, and very basic, in stark contrast to the breathtaking view that contributes for 80% of the overall appearance. The service was bad, with workers who did not make eye contact with guests, did not smile, and seemed uninterested. The only exceptions were a tall man wearing a black shirt and having light brown hair, and a waitress with very dark hair and eyebrows who was always smiling, cheerful, and adorable. The primary concern was the food: my husband's burger tasted dairy ingredients, such as a mix of milk and batter, something very strange and extremely unusual. It was hard to taste any beef on it; I'm curious to know how they make it. Furthermore, the food presentation in general appears to be rather boring, like a jumble of ingredients and garnishes with little effort put in by the chefs. We never mentioned to our server any issues because the entire experience was so negative that we will never return anyway. I just find it strange that a venue like this can host weddings. I wouldn't want to be served substandard food by unhappy employees on a wedding day. Thanks...
