"HUGE disappointment today! My family and I have eaten here many times in the past and after today I highly doubt we will return! Arrived at 1230 and did not get the first persons food (out of six of us including a child) until 135. The rest of the table including the 6 year olds cheese sandwich did not appear for another 10 minutes and only after asking where it was! Many people who had arrived after us were being served before us even people who had the same or similar meals. Our drinks that we had prefer with the meals were long since drank or gone cold! Really a shockingly bad experience. Now I am not saying that the place wasn’t busy yes it was though most definitely could have been busier as due to rain outside tables were not filled. The staff were indeed working hard they just didn’t seem to have good direction in sorting out orders. Also lots of dirty tables left being in leaned. When our food arrived the child’s yoghurt and crisps never appeared and the crisps that came out with the panini and baked potatoes were a bit soggy. Other than that lunch was nice. Everyone would have had cakes and more coffee but am afraid after waiting that time not one of us was in the mode! Really bad show Gemmells ! If you had said an hour for everyone’s food (rather than 20 minutes) we would have gone elsewhere and returned another day. Instead you have now lost 6 customers!"

Lovely restaurant and very busy, so maybe I'm alone thinking their coffee was expensive . Great selection of homebaking.

3 sisters and wee Mammy stopped in here lunch as we were in the area. How fortunate for us. Food was lovely and so was the service.

This is a regular for our family when we visit our 82 year old mother. The staff are hugely friendly and the value, quality and range of food on offer are great.

Popped in for a tea/coffee but went for soup( chicken broth) £4 but my god it was a meal in itself and with a proper bread roll. The cheese scone was also good. Great friendly service and prices reasonable for these type of establishments. Speisekarte ansehen

This is my second time visiting this restaurant and the food was good, as were the cakes. However, I have one criticism: Please do not touch the cakes with your hands when serving them! Use tongs, forks, or wear gloves for hygiene purposes.

We stopped by this restaurant to grab some breakfast to go, it was only our second time visiting. The food was decent but not worth the cost. I ordered a roll with a soft fried egg but received a very hard fried egg instead, and the pancakes were nothing special, definitely not worth £5 each. It was not as good as our first visit and we are not likely to come back again.

Rotten service spoilt the tasty macaroni cheese. Ordered Mac Cheese which came with garlic bread. Garlic burns my throat so I asked at the till for it to be replaced with ordinary bread no problem said the cashier. Meal arrived with the garlic bread on the plate. Asked for it to be changed only to be told it couldn't be done as they don't do substitutes. Thankfully it wasn't allergy issue! Speisekarte ansehen

I went to this restaurant for a late lunch and it was very crowded with no social distancing measures in place. All tables were occupied and there was no check-in procedure, unlike other local cafés. They provided paper and pencils for contact tracing, which seemed counterproductive as we had to touch them. There was no option for contactless ordering, and everything had to be ordered at the table. There was no one-way system in place, and customers were freely approaching the counter and interacting with staff. The restaurant had poor ventilation, with the air conditioner recirculating air throughout the space, which is not ideal. Overall, it felt unsafe and I would not go back. The food wa...

I visited Gemmells on Wednesday, October 21st with my husband, daughter, and son-in-law. Upon arrival, we waited at the entrance of the coffee shop to be seated. Unfortunately, no staff members acknowledged us despite seeing us waiting. Eventually, someone showed up to seat us at a dirty table, which we had to wait for to be cleaned. We waited for our order to be taken, only to watch customers who arrived after us have their orders taken first. Our food arrived promptly, but we had to chase down our drinks which only came when we were halfway through our meal. We had to ask for milk and sugar for our tea separately, as they were not provided initially. There was no organization or social dis...

"Visited using an Itison voucher for steak surf turf. Decided to have soup for starters which was advertised as being served with freshly baked bread. The soup was served in a very small bowl and was tasteless. The bread was anything but fresh and felt and tasted like it had been lying in the back of a cupboard for a fortnight. Now for the steak. We asked for sirloin but was told there was none left and we would have to take ribeye. The steak arrived and one look put us off. This was certainly not ribeye and was more like some sort of reconstituted beef. I would have to say that it is the worst steak we’ve ever been served. The surf part was 3 sad looking small prawns that had been placed on top of the steak. The owner asked us how it was and we told him how dissatisfied and disappointed we were. To this comment he then became quite aggressive and told us to leave. He obviously doesn’t like criticism. We had our meal on a Saturday night and we’re the only people in the restaurant. Surely this must tell you something. We had booked the dining room but was told it was closed due to lack of clientele and that we would have to sit in the bar. We had been regular visitors and know that they recently lost their head chef who was very good. The food is now very substandard and nothing like the delicious food that was served by the previous chef. Come on Sorn…you need to do much better!!"

"On holiday in the area and found this place online for somewhere to eat. Menu looked great. Arrived and the impression we got with the mess around the building continued indoors. Lady who took us to our table was lovely but then it went downhill again quickly when we were given the menu definitely not what it was online). It was litterly falling apart and only a fraction of what was on the online menu. We ordered food and while waiting 2 women with 5 children came in. Noise from the children was heard as soon as they got to the front door. I don't believe any of the children were at fault as the women didn't try to get them to be just a little quieter they both just shouted louder to hear each other. Both my teenage daughter and I expected the waitress to ask them to maybe just turn the volume down just a little but it turned out she knew them and like the mums she just shouted louder to be heard! Food arrived hot. Steak pie was very tasty but pizza was the kind I can buy in supermarket for about 50p. Desserts of cheesecake and sticky toffe pudding both tasted odd. We didn't eat them and just left to get away from the noise. I totally understand the staff can't dictate who frequents their establishment but they could ask rowdy customers to lower the volume instead of shouting over them. Food was nothing to shout about and we left wishing we had just stopped at the local chip shop instead"

"As we were staying at the Dumfries House Lodge for a couple of nights we took the opportunity to visit the Library Restaurant which is a short stroll away from the guesthouse in Dumfries House itself. Little did we know as we approached the magnificent Robert Adam building in it’s glory on a bright and peaceful evening that we were about to have a private dining experience! By absolute chance there were no other reservations that evening and we had the restaurant to ourselves. Despite my attempt to convince my wife that I had paid a fortune for the privilege I don’t think she was entirely taken in for more than a few seconds. We understand that the following night was fully booked. The setting is quite unique as you are led from the visitors entrance through to the library which had a cosy atmosphere with a log fire burning, the grand mantelpiece surround, the comfortable settee, subtle lighting and a small bar. With our bottle of NZ Pinot Noir ordered and a glass poured we were able to browse the menu in comfort. There were five options for each course and all reasonably priced from starters at £6 £7, mains £12 £22 (steak) and dessert at £5 or cheese for £7. The young waiter, who was attentive but discrete throughout the evening was friendly and efficient. The dining area itself beyond was lined with book shelves and ten or so tables stylishly set with good spacing between although in the circumstances there were no issues with other diners! For starters my wife had Goats cheese with red onion and tomatoes whilst I opted for the Confit Duck Pie with duck scratching and salad. The duck was served in a ramekin style dish topped with mashed potato which was a surprise although the duck was tasty, as was my wife’s goats cheese. Mains for my wife was Chicken Ballantine stuffed with Shitaki served with parmesan gnocchi and spinach which she enjoyed. I had monkfish in butter, served with puy lentils, artichoke puree and herb sauce. The fish was delicious however puy lentils may be an acquired taste which I unfortunately haven’t acquired a taste for as yet and there were quite a lot of them! Dessert consisted of Lemon amoretti cheesecake with a berry compote for my wife and White chocolate panna cotta and a doughnut with an apple sauce for myself. My wife thought the berry compote drowned the other flavours and I thought my dish was just ok. Full marks for the setting, food presentation, service and pricing (our bill including wine was £85 ex tip) but we were slightly disappointed with the flavours of some of the food overall in comparison to our previous meal on the estate at the former Stables Restaurant. At time of our recent visit the restaurant was only open Thursday to Sunday. It is a possibility that in future this restaurant may only be available for private functions, with another being opened within the hospitality centre so we were glad in the meantime to have dined in the House in such exclusive circumstances. Sadly we were escorted off the premises!"
