We were a party of 5, on a cold, very wet Saturday evening, coldest so far I would say! We drew up and saw a young family of 3 sitting with jackets on in the conservatory area, we were a bit concerned! We took a...seat at the back of the conservatory which proved to be a big mistake! There was a terrible draught coming from behind me, I did mention it and was told it was 27c at the middle of the room, but not where we were sitting!! I mentioned it a few times and sat with my shawl scarf on throughout! I pulled down the window blinds hoping that would help, nope!! We ordered our food, I asked about a vegetarian option for my husband, our waitress did say he could a veggie option on the curry...
Have been going here for nearly 20 years as an annual treat, this time it was probably our last. The dishes ranged from competent to laughably bad, the fish and chips in particular would have been sub standard even for a chip shop, with soggy batter on the fish and chips that were barely cooked. There were substitutions on other dishes that we were only told about on delivery. You would have thought a fish restaurant would make good tartar sauce. The sticky toffee pudding has always been legendary at Finns, this time, it tasted like it was bought in. Surprisingly poor service considering the staff almost outnumbered the diners. Couldn't even get the spelling right on the menu. We remember wh...
Having moved back to Ayrshire after some years we were really looking forward to a return visit to Fins and we were not disappointed. I had the mussels in Thai broth to start and my husband had the tempura langoustine. Both terrific. We had the...hot seafood platter to share along with an order of bread and oil. My goodness what a treat! We did our best but had to leave a few squat lobsters. Sacrilege I know but we should not have had the bread even although it was delicious. We had no room for dessert but sat back and enjoyed the last of our own wine. (It’s a BYOB with an £8 service charge). Staff were lovely and the whole experience lived up to our high expectations. Will definitely be bac...
I am ashamed to admit this is our first visit to this lovely restaurant. We are not easily pleased, especially when it comes to sea food, but we were blown away by the meal tonight. We had oysters to start which were baked to perfection....The langoustine starters were both tasty and plentiful but the main courses were amazing. My wife had a beautiful piece of halibut with so many flavours around it topped with two enormous langoustine. I had the cod on a ratatouille which was cooked to perfection. We had to share a banana crepe as one was enough for two. The atmosphere was excellent and the staff were so pleasant and helpful. It won’t be long until we are back.

Had the most amazing lunch at Fins after so many years of always wanting to go there. We had Cullen Skink which was hot and tasty, paired with the lovely home made bread. We then moved onto the hot shellfish platter which was absolutely delicious....It had oysters, mussels, langoustines, and squat tail lobster. It easily fed us both. We were well looked after by Caitlin and Phoebe thank you both. Really cannot recommend this enough and will definitely be going back on my next visit.
This place really is a hidden gem. Didn't know what to expect at first. This is a wonderful, very small restaurant serving top quality fresh seafood. I had the most incredible shellfish platter, which included two lobsters!! I would highly recommend anyone in the area to come down here for something a little special.
Saturday lunchtime visit, three adults. 1 portion mussels, 1 Fencebay Tapas to share. As we said to the staff, the only thing wrong with the meal was that it was such a long drive from Yorkshire to have it again. Thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Truly superb seafood restaurant tucked away outside Fairlie. Customer service was outstanding as was the food, also the farm shop was excellent with friendly staff and advice. Can't wait to go back!
