Arisaig

Terrible meal!!

Probably the worst restaurant I have been to in a long time. The level of service was disgusting and we were blatantly ignored by the staff for the majority of our meal.

Extremely limited menu at lunch, different than what's on the website! No one came over at any point to ask how our food was and when I complained my meal was really unacceptable for the sort of restaurant I was shrugged off, by both the waitress and the manager who was downright rude and didn't seem to care one bit! He made some excuse as to why it wasn't the restaurants fault, hmm funny considering they should be ensuring the quality of food. No apologies and made out to look as if I was the one in the wrong.

Please don't waste your money on this place, terrible service and completely overrated food. Money straight down the drain considering I couldn't eat any of it!

Great Restaurant. Had a fantastic evening. Food was great and service was impeccable. Would definitely recommend.

I'm afraid I had a terrible experience in Arisaig last night and under no circumstances would I return. We were in a party of 10 and had enjoyed an average meal on a limited xmas party menu. I was poured a glass of house merlot and had a mouthful of sediment which was very unpleasant. I pointed this out to the manager who was very rude to me - bearing in mind I was only pointing it out and not asking for anything. I can, hand on heart, say I have never been treated so rudely. He sneered at me and said that it was a fine wine and I should expect sediment - it was a house red, not a fine wine! He walked away after telling me I didn't understand wine. I left it a couple of minutes and went after him to tell him I was very disappointed with the way he had handled things and that he had upset me. Only to find he was surfing the web trying to find a page that he could print off and give to me on sediment - really! I couldn't believe it! He then tells me that we were a problem table, when I asked what he was talking about he tells me that we have already sent back a dessert and two coffees. I was unaware of this but when I checked with my colleagues it turns out that one of them had to return their pofiteroles as they were still frozen in the middle and that two coffees had arrived cold and that staff were asked, very politely, if they could have them warmed up.

I'm sorry but I've never come across service like this in my life and from someone in authority, shocking. I'll never set foot in the place again and I'll ensure I let friends and family know about my experience as well.

This was the worst meal out my boyfriend and I have had yet. Very sub standard, bland and unpleasant. I left most of mine, which is a rarity. I've never written a bad review for any restaurant before, but feel I should warn people not to go as it will be a ruined evening.

Arisaig effortlessly manages to combine both stunningly mediocre food and meager portions, with premium prices that are completely unjustifiable for a restaurant of this quality. With numerous competitors in the close vicinity that offer not only a much improved standard of cuisine, but also often at a substantially lower cost, one wonders how such a business is able to survive.

We ate here last night and we were really disappointed. The service while friendly was very slow and nothing on the menu stood out and took our fancy.

At the end of a mediocre meal, we ordered the cheeseboard wich priced at £7.95 should have been fairly substantial but when it arrived it was 5 tiny morsels of cheese, one of which was a really old looking blue.

We were embarrassed at having chosen to take our family here and will definitely not return.

Elizabeth is bang on. It's a sad reflection on the low standards and general abuse of the English language in this city when "spicy" is used as shorthand for "hot". Plenty of ingredients are spicy but not hot e.g cinammon, cloves, nutmeg, mace, tumeric - need I go on??
Arisaig should immediately changes its menu to say "hot & spicy"

Not a bad place though.
