Dining At Cairnbaan - Argyll Bute

We, as a family always holiday in this area and we always end our holiday with a meal at the Cairnbaan. We have never had any complaints in the past. On this occasion, the service was very poor. the barman couldn't care less and the food has gone down hill, a lot. We were asked for a table i the restaurant the previous day, when we arrived on the night, we were sat in the bar. There were only two diners in the restaurant area. The steak, for the price was small, badly cooked and full of gristle. We waited for so long after our main course for service, dessert, that we paid and left. We will not be frequenting this place again in the future.

My meal had been forgotten and so I had to wait for another 20 minutes whilst my party ate theirs. The fish pie was full of bones and when we went to pay I was offered no recompense. We tried to add a tip for the staff but the bar man used some colourful language to the staff around him as he couldn't work the till. Very poor all round

We visited on a sunny lunchtime, a group of 7 of us, There was an extensive menu available very varied with lots of choices. every dish served to our group was absolutely beautiful.I have not had a better meal in years. delicious and cooked to perfection. All desserts were also homemade and delightful. It also helps with an idyllic outdoor eating area right beside the Crinan Canal. Food has the WOW factor.

We have eaten out at many different places in Argyll recently and my meal here today was by far the best. Basic food prepared incredibly well. Thank you!

Well situated along the Crinan Canal this small pub has delicious food and warm atmosphere. Stroll along hte cnal after your supper.
