A lovely warm welcome from all front of house staff to start off our dining experience. Delivery of service was at a very high standard. When you are first seated, your drinks order is taken and then you are presented with their open menu and...their locally sourced fresh spring water. Zelda was great at informing us about the specials of the day and local produce on the menu - which we loved. We then had our orders taken by Sunita - who was just lovely and very professional. Our drinks arrived quickly at the start of our dining experience. Our starters were delivered in a timely manner by a server named Nikita and were absolutely delicious. Our main meal was just outstanding - I had the soy and ginger salmon and the rest of my family had the Chinese style stir fry with Dumfriesshire ribeye steak. The portion sizes are generous. Huge compliments to top chef Murray McDavid and the rest of his superb team! We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this restaurant!More

An amazing venue, with views to die for. Such a well appointed restaurant, great food and menu. Good value. Shona our host was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back.

We’ve just had such a special meal at Gather this evening. Our first time and we so enjoyed, the super relaxed and friendly welcome. We enjoyed the sea view and then the sun set and the twinkly lights made our evening beautiful again. I have...to say I felt so relaxed, it was spotless, cool and friendly with delicious food and seedlip cocktails. The waiting staff were so helpful about what our 4 yr old would or would not eat! So kind, thank you everyone who made our evening special with our friends visiting. We’re happily full of delicious food, being so well looked after at Gather and very happy memories.More

Mid morning breakfast on a clear day ~ the views really are second to none ! Service was prompt and the breakfast very nice. The lad who served us Kieran couldn’t have been more chatty and efficient. Only thing is , they add a charity...donation to your bill without telling you but if you ask it is removed with no fuss.More

Lovely ambience , starters were fine but ordered the Galloway burger as a main course - mistake . The burger was over cooked , charred at the edges and impossible to cut. I complained and was offered another but the point is it should never...have been served to start with . We have eaten here before and this was very disappointing given the amount we were spending !More

We were on holiday in Dumfries and we heard that there had been some changes at Laggan, it now has an excellent restaurant with mind blowing views, it also has a separate dining area to allow taking your dog, during our holiday we visited Laggan...on 3 occasions with having breakfast, lunch and dinner, all fantastic meals, during these visits we met several of the staff which were very pleasant and chatty, we also met the manager who again was very pleasant and chatty, they have several accommodation snugs on their site, so have booked to go and stay there before Christmas. During our visits we met the following staff who we would like to thank. Ali, Vipin, Gavin and Kelci. See you soon Kevin & Gina SweeneyMore

came here with my mum and dad, food and service were mostly good minus a strange comment made by the man taking our food order. I ordered a decaf cappuccino as my drink, to which i received a lecture on why decaf versions of drinks...are actually “much more unhealthy for you” than the caffeinated versions !! number 1: i did not ask. number 2: i have issues with my stomach meaning as much as i would like to, i cannot enjoy the caffeinated versions of my favourite drinks as i once could. this overall made me very uncomfortable as i felt like i was almost being looked down upon for ordering a decaf drink - overall just very bizarre. My family and I have visited here many times over the last few years and it was never like this, and it has put us off visiting again for some time.More

Stunning place with fantastic views. Food was lovely. We went with our two dogs and we were sat in what felt like a corridor outside staff room and office with only 2 tables therefore, it can’t boast to be too dog friendly. The staff were...fantastic especially the waiter from London, name I forget. We did have to seek a waiter as in this back corridor we did get forgotten which was a real shame and would stop us going again.More

Chef's imaginative creations, in harmony with DemiJohn's wonderful liquid deli accompaniments were a delight. Seven scrummy (and not too large) courses, with DemiJohn tasters in between; tasting heaven. The team was friendly, joyful and efficient, working hard to meet every need, with a great attitude....We would definitely return to a similar Tuesday taster dinner. Just our ticket. We loved the fact that everyone went dressed up and in the mood for a treat. The atmosphere was good. We loved the attention to detail with, for example, lighting changing as the darkness descended over the ocean. A few pointers for people- don't just turn up and expect to be accommodated. Don't come just for the amazing views, thinking it will be an ordinary meal. It's special. The chef can cook interesting food! Altogether a fine dining experience that we relished. You've highered the bar, Gather. Thank you, sincerely, for the pleasure you gave us last night.More

What a lovely plave. Great views and the quality of food and service was excellent. Would definately recommend and we will be back. Anoop, Sunita and Ali provided us with a lovely welcome and great, friendly service. Thank you for lovely treat.More

Great views and outdoor space. Great interior - beautifully designed. Shame about the service. After finishing our main course we were not attended to for at least 20 minutes - our original waiter had gone off to have her break - another waiter cam along...and said he would be back in a sec guys! I did object to being called a guy (actually I am a woman and madam would have been more appropriate). When our original waiter returned she was most apologetic. She was lovely, smiley and an asset to the restaurant Food mediocre.More

Fantastic views from the restaurant and a great welcome and service from the staff plus the tasty food. Definitely recommend a visit.More
